Seven years in three minutes, but less is more. I loved voicing the Kramp industrial - tons of drama!

Introducing... the Chair of Peristalsis at Allbran University. Animators called for a voice... and a FACE. Shock horror: I'm voice only - and now you see why.

"@Alexis.  What a kind comment.  Thankyou!  But I know I have much to learn.
@Scott. Yes I'm a great fan of Skype and you are right, it is under-used, including by those producers who still make do with a squeaky old phone link.

"While we are talking Rodes, I still use my original NT1A for commercial material and appreciate the really low self-noise, said to be quieter than the mighty Neumann!  U-know the one."

"Thankyou, Joe. Yes, that backup is really important. And if, like me, you worry about over-filling your hard-drive, there are web services that will store stuff for you economically."

"'Finished' has to reflect what your producers want, and they vary.  If they work with a proper engineer, they might expect or specify 'unprocessed' from you - just a nice straight track that sounds like you and has no intrusive noises.
Even so, your…"

  • Hey Howard - why thank ye...

    Gosh, Peachy Farmer are the Exeter favourite aren't they! You weren't down at Double Lox wereyou by any chance??

     

    Well the VO thing was a natural byproduct of working in a live broadcasting environ (presenter & various other bits n pieces). Left it for a while & decided to pick up again a few years back. The idea of home recording was a stumbling block for me for a while, as used to all the bangs & whistles & high-end stuff of inhouse production studios, I just thought 'Ohmy lord, I cannot do that!". & with some strong & sensible words from folks in the know, I realised it was totally do-able.

    Actually, when I lived down there & decided with some encouragement, to get back 'into it', a friend in a very high place within G-cap intro'd me to the Gemini lot. (I think it was a case of 'see this woman, she is good. see her because I say so') & I looked forward to maybe doing some swing shifts etc, & then it was allchange - all stations up for sale & things went static...& I moved back to the living (Bristol), cuz Ex was just doing my head in. I was missing 'culture' & breadth of experience/thought. Now of course back in London, I crave that landscape & being able to go to the beach for a swim - painful!

    I tell ya what, sad affair for radio down there yes - my paper recycling has more personality than the guy on the afternoon shift at gemini. anyway... glad that phonic got the perma license.

    My desire is to do more character stuff. I would love to get into the world of gaming.

     

    So, a village north...not Silverton is it??

    :)S

  • Hey hi howdy Howard.

     

    What's all this talk about Exeter then? I used to live there myself & was down vising in April!

     

    Loves it I does :-D

  • Thanks Howard, glad you found it as useful as I did!
  • Wow!  I was remeberhing how quaint to was to go to a bakery for bread and then to the dariy shop for milk and then to the candy shop for sweets.  The biggest supermarket was like a tiny Safeway.  For some reason, I remember quart of milk was 10 1/2 cents; since they had done away with the half-penny, the store owner would charge 11 cents one day and then 10 cents when you came back later in the week.  The new Pence was just being started with a 6 new pence=1 shilling.  I don't remember a movie house but there must have been one.  Our landlady, Mrs. Channer, allowed us ot watch their "tele" when the Americans landed on the moon.  All great memories.  If I ever get back to England, I most certainly will stop by!
  • I lived in Exeter at 4 Wonford Court for 6 weeks in the summer of 1969 while attending a summer law program.  Loved ever minute of it!
