Corporate & Media Voice Over / On-Camera & Live Event Hosting

Greetings!
Santa with Dillon & Teaghan

I hope you're well as we decompress for the holidays and ramp up for the New Year. May you have wall to wall health and happiness in 2011.

Before I share voice over & other assorted highlights from the past three months, congratulations to Todd Miller (Toronto), newsletter contest winner from September, aka International Voice Over Month. Todd answered the following:

Q: In what decade was the human voice successfully recorded for the first time?
A: Scientists say a French audio sample More festive photos here
from 1860 is the oldest known recorded
human voice. The 10-second clip of a woman singing 'Au Clair de la Lune', taken from a so-called phonautogram, predates - by 17 years - Thomas Edison's 'Mary had a little Lamb', previously credited as the oldest recorded voice.

Todd wins studio time valued at $300.00 which he says he'll use for his online radio station Radio That Doesn't Suck. Way to go, Todd!

Ok, some highlights from the past few months....

Reaching new Heights in Voice Over
"Peaking the levels" is an audio expression in voice production. It had new meaning recently when I was brought on board by new Swiss client, Mammut, to provide narration to showcase real peaks for their promotion: 'The Ultimate Test Event'.

So if you can climb a flight of stairs with confidence - this may be the next logical step.

Medically Speaking
The team you see pictured here is constantly on hand in my studio to ensure I don't over exert myself in the voice over booth or strain a vocal cord when pronouncing words you can't even Tweet because they exceed the 140 character limit!

Medical & Pharmaceutical projects in the last 3 months included:

    * FasciaDerm
    * Interleukin-1β Regulation
    * Rheumatoid Arthritis and Cardiovascular Disease

'Tis the Season... PARADIGM

for Corporate Galas
It was that time of year when I left my voice over studio to
see people in person, which entailed getting dressed. Usually. And if going to all that trouble I figured why not throw on the tux and make a statement.

An exciting new MC client was Paradigm Quest/Merix Financial, celebrating 10 Billion dollars in assets under management in 2010!

These mortgage gladiators know how to get results while having a blast doing it. I coined them as a "FUNancial" institution. That witty turn of phrase? Merely a sample of what I bring to your event if you commission me to be your ceremonial master.

Ho Ho Ho !
