Two things you probably don’t know about Jonathan:
* He has what he proudly proclaims to be “a ridiculous singing act” called The Amazing Singing Dentists.
* Maybe you did spot this, but I didn’t: In the video, Jonathan plays not only the voice actor but also the director.

I remember many years ago we had an agency guy come in with a client at the station who took 2 hours to do a :30. As radio stations are often “spot factories” I could see the production director going nuts because he’s getting backlogged for the day by the agency guy who is probably very close to the character in the video.
I could never be VO talent for reasons displayed here. You need a incredible about of patience and focus. Hats off to those who do it for a living.
This is so relatable it’s not funny… it is funny but it’s not funny! And by the way to anyone who need to know….a phone number counts as 7 words NOT ONE!
Very funny video … thanks for sharing !!”
“Go quicker, but sound slower”. Priceless.
Actually I had to do that on two seperate VO sessions yesterday . It wasn’t as exaggerated as the Pirated voice video ( nor as funny) but I was able to pick up a few seconds and still maintain a relaxed story-teller read. In my sessions if it appears to the agency creative that we are having to rush to get” it in ” ..they’ll cut copy .
Shiver me timbers that’s funny.
I’ve been there. I’ve had clients and directors take out “the” to shave 3 seconds. QUESTION: How do these types of agency people get these jobs if they don’t know anything about it?
When it comes to walking the plank in shark-infested waters, we know who’d be the first to go…and the sharks would likely throw him back…. 😀
I absolutely LOVED this. As a former production guy I found a couple of nightmare agency people that reminded of the director. This video should be up for an award!
Agency directors …they’re drivin’ me nuts!
Excellent Work !
Been there, done that many years ago in Minneapolis. My only on camera, back when I had lots of hair and my ZZ Top beard. After that, I stuck to VOs, though it’s doubtful I could have made a living as a pirate.
Been there for me too… but I always remembered they can screw with you for one hour then they have to PAY again!! And suddenly they realize they have to pay that studio at $200 an hour as well… eventually they stop.
G’day All,
Gave me a much needed giggle this morning…
Thanks!
