If you’re a voice actor, voiceover performer, voice artist…
…you just possibly might be interested in a nearly 3-hour audio seminar by Nancy Wolfson on Voice Acting For Advertising.
Here’s a little video sample.
For the new few days, everyone who downloads the audio seminar also will be eligible to contribute follow-up questions for me to ask Nancy in a follow-up interview.
Whether or not your question turns out to be one of the chosen ones, you’ll automatically be sent the mp3 recording of that follow-up interview, too.
Oh, great. Another of those inane, “It’s impossible to show you this on the radio” commercials.
Yes, they do say “a picture’s worth a thousand words.” But nobody told this guy you don’t need a whole lot of talent to use a few words to paint a vivid picture on the radio.
He could have said, “Hey, have you seen that gorgeous, limited edition Italian Vacation calendar? January features a color photo of me, holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa with my pinky. February’s photo is of me, just as I hit the water after my girlfriend pushed me out of a gondola in Venice…”
But no, it’s so much smarter to-talk-so-fast-that-no-radio-listener-can-or-will-want-to-understand-you-but-if-they-could-they-would-hear-some-jerk-unsuccessfuly-trying-to-be-funny.
Oh, and if the “best” thing you can say about creating your own, one-of-a-kind Kodak calendar is “it’ll be ready before you’re done shopping,” perhaps it isn’t worth advertising in the first place.
