No wonder my career is flagging, I have not grasped the subtleties of Voice Over Inflected Delivery so evident on so many demos.

But I am trying my best to get it and when I do that's when the big bucks flood in.

I'm sending it to an LA Agent .......Woot ....... Awesome!!

The producer of the Fund raiser commercial from which I Voided an extract liked my orginal read, which was dull, voidless and un-great pipes, the man is a bloody philistine!

Dang! Now I get it. I thought it was "Voice Over Infected Delivery" and I didn't want to catch anything.

"Asif" I said, for tis his name "the closing part of the fundraising programme, which take did you keep?"

"I will send it to you 'pon this very evening" was his kind response.

Keeper

Fits with the pictures and M and Es ........Apparently. Sounds a bit high falootin' technical to me.

Philip, When I first saw the word "Void" I thought you were going to give us some information about one of your recent ailments.

I propose replacing Talk Like a Pirate Day with "Talk Like A VoiceOverist Who's Trying Too Hard Day."

OH NO, Lance, please don't! Can't we have both? There are so many days in the year that don't have anything but a date...

In a session yesterday my client actually said, "Mandy, stop that. Since when do you pause so much while you're reading? That sounds horrible." Too many news-type reads lately, I guess, and I lost my mind.

Newsreader - like you've never ever seen a teleprompter, punctuation or the English language before in your life.
Sports announcer - Head injury victim.
