I want to be the most macho voiceover artist out there: not outdoing any of my compatriots, mind you, but riding a galloping horse, facing down tanks, cracking my whip, climbing sheer cliffs, jumping onto moving trucks, boarding a submarine, hanging onto an airplane for dear life, careening through underground roller coasters, beating down dozens of adversaries and rescuing my maid Marion, who, for the purposes of this blog, we will call Janine. When the Grim Reaper comes a-reapin', I wish to go the same way. He even played Han Solo! When you tell him you love him, he says “ I know.” You do not get much cooler than that, unless we are talking about El Macho in Despicable Me 2, dying in the most macho way possible: jumping out of an airplane riding a shark with 250 pounds of dynamite strapped to his chest into the mouth of an active volcano. High Summer Camp serving various 13-year-old Velociraptors lunch, so I can only assume they chose Harrison as a backup). Just think: Harrison Ford, People Magazine’s NovemSexiest Man Alive. I am attempting, perhaps poorly, to paint a picture of Indiana Jones performing voiceovers.

Voiceovers are a massive and never-ending adventure.īare-chested, Sweaty Voiceover Men with Hats and Whipsĭo not worry this is not that kind of website. I truly do feel like every day I wake up to the same thing over and over again, except it is utterly delightful.Houston we have a problem (the problem of being deceased currently is without cure).I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston was at the top of the charts.Currently I have a StudioBricks studio back then I had what resembled a pillow fort that was made of pillows and was a fort.As an aside, the side has now become a non-side, with no side sides. Back then I did voiceovers on the side.Now I have one that says Sennheiser, and another one that says Neumann.

Back then I had a mic that I am fairly certain had the name “ Mattel” emblazoned on it.Twenty-eight whole years later, and a lot has changed! When I unofficially started my voiceover adventure back in 1993, I had no fedora and no whip. Those that are not will play Bejeweled and sit there only wishing for adventure, while I am out tomb raiding and collecting all the small, gold, angry-looking Aztecan relics all for myself. Those voice talent that are diligent and persistent will be cast.

Every day we are faced with incredible experiences, victories, defeats, challenges, successes, failures, opportunities both seized and missed, and confusing scripts that appear to have been written by some variant of primate. Voiceovers are an ongoing and fulfilling adventure. Snakes! Tarantulas! Guns! Pits! Rolling boulders the size of Tina Turner’s hair!
