Another year has flashed by and many voices and voiceover projects have come through our doors here at Big
Fish Media HQ. We have laughed, cried and cheered throughout many sessions. We
take a look back at some of 2017’s most interesting and illuminating voiceover
moments.
1. A perfect 30 seconds! – This accolade
belongs to a number of fine wonderful conversational voiceovers who nail it every time. To be able to reach the pinnacle in
voiceover is to be able to speed up or slow down and make it sound effortless
and within time and did I mention conversational?! All our voiceover artists hit their time marks and do so easily and consistently.
2. “Just taking the fish for a walk” –
our jolly voiceover companion at all times is our dear friend Fishy Wishy who
not only looks down at us while we work and provides us with a daily tongue
twister but likes to pop out and about every so often for some fine photos – or should that be
fin photos?
3. “Can you just jiggle that cable?” – A
phrase our studio engineers have become well versed in. Our wonderful sound
engineers are skilled in the wonderful art of audio with impeccable hearing to
sound out any mouth sounds, breaths and even an odd squeak. However should
anything go down with the desk, the ISDN, the Ipdtl or skype they are pretty
handy in the electronic department and nothing a good jiggle can’t sort out. The aquarium is indebted to
them.
4. Voice Adders? – When talking to one
of our video production clients we were interrupted by someone who asked if we
provided voice adders. Well our voices can shed their characters like a snake
sheds their skin but this was perhaps a little too far. However as our
wonderful voiceover talents who have years of training including acting and voice training them
maybe we should be Big Adder Media.
5. Going wild? – For a lot of our video
productions we always ask wild or to picture. Syncing or voicing to picture to
an already final video or animation means a lot more work as everything needs
to be checked and re-checked and then checked again to make sure it fits.
Voicing wild means that the voice can speak at whatever pace the client wants
and then the video is cut to fit them. With our wonderful wild voiceovers you know that it will fit.
This year
the Big Fish Media aquarium of voices provided clients with voices. Many thanks
to all our voiceovers and
clients – see you all in the New Year!
