Here goes .....Deep breath.....................

You can either do it or you can't!

Fantastic eh?

Now for the in depth bit. You act a part but no one sees you, the physical side of the acting is left to the on-screen character all you have to do is vocalise his or her physicality.

That'll be $250 please.

For $250 !!!! I'll get my friend's 9 year old twin daughters Chloe and Charlotte to send you their sketches (in crayon) of me at work and you'll just have to be happy with them. My presentation notes are on the reverse along with our order from the Buckie Chinese Take Away which you are free to ignore.

That was 2.50 right? I think you forgot the decimal when you typed your bill.

You've been spending far too much time on RadioDaddy where $2.50 would be considered a pro gig. Laugh

If anyone on here is in the market, this is highly recommended in their gear section.



I can dream.

This is what I've been using lately:



Is that sufficient or should I really consider upgrading?

We are not at home to Mr Boasty! Upgrade indeed!! You obviously have contacts to get your hands on gear like the above.

We have the highly coveted wiggles mic.... but in addition....



The wiggles guitar!

I don't know why I'm pursuing a career in VO. My daughters are clearly on the road to superstardom thanks to parents willing to outfit them with this kind of gear. Wink

Indeed. I have an exclusive deal with a smartly-dressed fellow in a red suit and white beard. It's pretty easy; I have to behave myself all year and he brings me new equipment around Christmastime. I'm still waiting to see what the catch is.

Say... that would go nicely on another thread around here. Wink

This is hard to beat for a portable on-the-road VO set up.






I always thought it would be cool to have a "My Last Sony" range.
