Voice Mime

“If I’m paid to voice a job and it’s never used, does it make a sound?”

Well I’m here to answer “YES!”, and show you some Voice Mime gigs from my own personal forest.

The following are all jobs that I auditioned for, got cast, recorded, and got paid for – that have never been heard until now!

Celebrity Voices
These projects involve celebrity voice matching. Sometimes it is to replace a celebrity voice in a movie or trailer, other times they’re used as scratch tracks until the celebrity has time to record the final version.

V321.RU – The Story

Disclaimer: The following is a compilation of my historical recollections and opinions on two voice over Pay-to-Play sites. In addition, I give my view of likely outcomes based on current trends. All comments and opinions from readers are welcome below. In the end, it is up to the individual readers to come to their own conclusions of the value of these pay-to-play sites. Every business model has benefits and detriments. Your mileage may vary.

— *** The Fake Story ***

From July 19th, 2007 to March 12th, 2008, a little known Pay-To-Play Voice Casting site dominated the internet. Based in the Soviet Union, “V321.RU” was an instant sensation.

They were ready to take your rubles and give you much frustration in return.

True innovators who created famous features such as “SmartCossack”, “SpecialKeywords4U” and the “RatingsSystems” programs that guaranteed bad results, this company was destined to disrupt the industry like TNT in an outhouse!

Now, for the first time, hear the actual recordings from the actual savvy company whose owner was a legend in his own mind.

Buzzketing (Buzzword Marketing)

Hi gang,

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of marketing and buzzwords (*wink!*).

So, I’ve combined the two into a new word: Buzzketing!

Buzzketing (noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc.)
\ˈbəz-kə-tiŋ\

Definition:
Excessive use of buzzwords in marketing media and presentations.
May be accompanied by a glazed look, rapid speech, 
and a desperate need for validation.

“But wait, Joe”, you may be saying, “How can I use Buzzketing to talketize my objectivization potentiameter kill-zone, whilst still conveying a negative info-quotient contentualized drop-package?”

(translation: you’d like to talk a lot while saying absolutely nothing)

Here’s how it’s done – give a listen!
