Jack Webb & Johnny Carson Getting Twisted

I love tongue-twisters. And I grew up watching Dragnet (the color version...).
So, this was pretty fun to see:

Autodesk Vault Software Overview Video

This one was kick to work on - I actually got to see the "finished" whiteboard which was used on the project. That was an impressive piece of felt tipped artwork!



The production team was excellent to work with and the clients had a good sense of where they wanted to be in terms of tone - a good balance between being knowledgeable, warm and easy to relate to. The focus here was on providing information to folks who had a good grasp of the subject matter already - no need to "sell" anyone. Just help them understand how the new Vault software would break down barriers and let everyone communicate directly.

CPG.org Web Video Voiceover

Here's a quick little project from a couple months back - It looks like the new CPG.org website went live. I did the voice for the video tour. The production group did a nice, clean job on the video and wanted a simple, warm, conversational read.



(If the embedded video above doesn't work for you, click through and play the video on the CPG.org site using the link below.)

Mel Blanc Radio Interview - 1971

For many people in voice acting, Mel Blanc is one of the nudges of how we got there. Of course, with Mel's characters, "nudge" might not be quite as accurate as "frying pan to the face"... But, the characters that he voiced (as well as those of Dawes Butler) surrounded me growing up, and still provide inspiration and - at times - moral guidance.

Big tip o' the mouse to Sirenetta Leoni over at Inside Voiceover, who shared this wonderful interview with Mel Blanc over at Speaking of Radio.

Tip O' the 'Trax Talk Blog

Got a nice little mention of the Hitachi video project over on the Voicetrax SF "Trax Talk" blog yesterday! They linked to the one which featured fellow Voicetrax alums Gavin Hammon, Mark Middleton and Aly Casas. I actually got to play two roles in this one - the stressed IT Manager and the concerned Boss. Great fun! Hopefully, I'll get the chance to work with these very talented people again very soon!

Mmmmmmmm! Just got a box full of new foam to tune up my booth and isolate my monitors.

FireEye.com: The New Threat Landscape


The fine folks at FireEye.com have rolled out their new site upgrade - I'm providing voice for the video "The New Threat Landscape - Are You Protected?" - just go to FireEye.com and click on "Watch The Video" link (there's a cycling display of three options right now on the main screen - just look for the one which gives the video option).
