Safer Than a Chainsaw

For the past couple of days, my renaissance man has traded in his chainsaw for his microphone!

(Ahhh, I can breathe a big sigh of relief knowing he’s tucked safely in his studio…rather than romping through the woods with a BIG, dangerous power tool!)

Mikey has been busy working on another corporate voice over project for one of Fortune Magazine’s Top 100 Best Companies to Work for...

Mikey is focused intensely on his script….

 

So focused, he didn’t even hear me enter the studio! (Okay so he did hear me…and I think his reaction spooked me more than I spooked him!)

Well, I should let Mikey get back to his script. He wants to finish up so he can go play (err, work!) in the woods...with his chainsaw. (Oh, great!)

Mikey is still hoping to one day land his dream voice over job!

The Mic is Hot

Here we find Michael working on a voice over project for a Fortune 500 company…

Michael in his home recording studio.

Michael enjoys corporate voice over work, but his dream voice over job would be narrating any of the current cable shows that feature:

• Guys diggin’ for gold, or

• Guys huntin’ for gators

He LOVES those manly man shows and can imitate the narrators perfectly! (They have very distinct voices!)

One of the benefits of working in the same house with your best friend is that you can just pop into his/her office any time you please to say “hi.” But, when the husband is recording and the wife is one who bops around the house whistling…well, you get the idea!

So, I gifted Michael with this handy dandy recording light!


When the light is bright...keep quiet!



This way he can just flip the switch to gently remind me that the “mic is hot!” The last thing any company wants to hear is me whistling (out of tune) throughout their recording!
