The subject heading in this e-mail could have been “Happy New Year”, but I’m not sure when the statute of limitations runs out on that greeting. Regardless, I hope there’s been a certain amount of residual glee left over from the holidays for you. Incidentally, if there's anything else left over you should seriously consider disposing of it by now. Oh yeah, if 2006 hasn’t been everything it was cracked up to be to date, I’ve included another fun link in this edition to lift your spirits. Or simply kill some time. Feedback from the Christmas newsletter indicated the 'Santa & The Snowballs' game was a huge hit! Literally :-) **************************************** Before I bring you another tantalizing update from the dangerous world of voice-overs and on-camera hosting, I’d like to wish happy belated birthday to the legendary King of Rock & Roll. This past Sunday Elvis would have been 71 years old. My gal Teaghan, who recently turned 71 DAYS old belted out her rendition of “Happy Birthday” (without her “Teddy Bear”). (Ed. note: I promise this is the last shot of the child until March. But wait til you get a load of what's lined up in the wardrobe department for her come St. Patrick's Day in the O'Shea household!)
There's another talking mouse. Has a big theme park in Florida. You may have heard of it. If not, I help spread the message in Walt Disney World Resort’s new winter advertising campaign enticing families to the fun and warmth of the Sunshine State. I had the privilege of providing the voice over for the 30-second national TV commercial, "Be A Hero", airing in Canada. The American version of the ad features Kelsey Grammer, of “Frasier” fame, lending his mellifluous tones to the spot. The promotion went North America-wide this week!
By the way, you can take a family of four on a
Walt
Disney World vacation and
stay for six nights and seven days for less than 1500
dollars US! (Ed. Note: no actual mice were harmed, or forced to speak against their will, for the purpose of this newsletter)
I’ve performed numerous roles in the 'hosting' department. I’ve been a radio host, on- camera host, live event host and, by golly, I’ve hosted a few good parties in my day! One of the latest hosting positions I have filled is that of ‘Virtual Host’. With the advent of the internet, a relatively new business and advertising medium, I’ve been turning up online as host for businesses such as real estate development companies and pharmaceutical firms. It gives the term “hosting a website” a completely new meaning. With the layout of a company’s new website and navigational paths in mind I’ll gesture to, and acknowledge, bullet points, graphics and images while reading the script on the teleprompter. This entire process is done in front of a green screen or white background in the imEdge on-camera studio. With several solid takes "in the can", the team gets to work implementing the virtual host, yours truly, into the company’s new website. A seamless presentation gives the impression that I can see any buttons, links, graphics, images or pictures as I guide the visitor through the site’s pages. This approach really personalizes a website and makes a stronger connection with the visitor while providing navigational assistance.
Ya don't say! Actually,clients did say.... "Rory's voiceover reads are always unique, creative and have great tone and sound quality! It truly brings my commercial productions to another level!"
