Some Audio Guy

This was originally going to be a monthly show, finding authors to narrate their own work, talking to them about their inspiration, etc. Best laid plans right...

Anywho, this recording with Poetry Girl was done a couple months ago, and I've finally had the time to clean it up a little and post. Originally, I had music cues set, but I've decided against any further editing in the interest of getting this out. Also Her voice is hella-sexy, so why mess with it right?

Hey look! I recorded something that wasn't Poe.
Who woulda thunk it that Hans Christian Andersen woulda broke the streak...

Just for kicks I recorded my fave Edgar Allen Poe poem, 'To Helen (ii)'.

Maybe some day I'll record something that isn't Poe...

Who knows?

It COULD happen...

ENJOY!

So I finally finished the editing for my UnHelpful Robot series of ringtones and alerts. I designed the alerts around my Windows Mobile phone, so there might be some alerts in here which only work for the features of a WM phone, and I might be missing alerts for other types of phones.

My general inspiration for U.R. comes from classic "evil" sci-fi computers. They always seemed to deliver vital information just a split second too late for the villain to do anything about it. Almost as if they had their own nefarious goals to fulfill.
A perfect example would be the Nod Computer from C&C. It always seemed to let me know one of my units was under attack just after it was to late to save them.

THIS IS JUST A TEASER! There are too many files to easily post them as individual podcasts, and I cut the bit rate in half for size purposes.

To download U.R. for free, and at a higher quality, please check out my blog at:

Thanks and Enjoy!

First of many my friends!

My AC is busted so I apologize for the fan noise in the background, but you should give it a listen. I'm neat!

I cleaned up the original a bit and made it louder. A classic of voice over recording.

Recorded this a year ago for librivox. I've also linked and posted this up at SomeAudioGuy.blogspot.com

Enjoy!

Just my take on what would happen if the Daleks and the Cybermen tried to join forces. Who would die first?

One of my first "engineering" jobs. I recorded some station ID's and news casts for a local production of the Bogosian play Talk Radio, then tried to make them sound like they came off the radio.

Why voice over can be frustrating, and my favorite voice warm ups.

the beginnings of my crappy demo

This is not one of MY auditions. I am NOT the shite booth director for this session. This is HIGH-larious!

This is the sound of a satellite striking the hull of a spaceship. Recorded for the Zapp: The Space Wolf Pilot.

Really fun ADR burp I had to record...
