wolf33d Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hello, I am back from Cuba with 600 clips taken with A7RII, RX100IV, Pilotfly H1+, .... I am making the video as a personal project and I am looking for a voice off. Do any of you guys has an inspirational voice off and would like to help me participating? The goal would be just to send me a few sentences that I wrote recorded with a mic, an I would feature you in the video.I would really appreciate the help. It should take a few min max to record and I could do it myself but my voice is not nice so it would not render well I am looking either a male or female voice like those 2 video: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lintelfilm Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 LOL dude those are professional voice overs by professional actors or voice over artists. Recorded professionally. People aren't just born with a "nice voice" able to do that kind of thing, it takes a lot of training and practice, and then there's learning the script so it sounds natural and the emphasis is all in the right place. Sorry if this sounds harsh but if you want it to sound like one of those you need to hire a pro. Nikkor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf33d Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 I am looking at a few words only not a full speech that has to be learned and so on. A lot of amateurs doing videos like this use their own voice without any training or being big pros as you say. For some it looks nice for some not. Just looking for someone that has a nice english (unlike mine) and nice voice and is keen to do that so I just ask. As you say, probably no one will want to do it but you never know so I ask.

fuzzynormal Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 You can always make the edit with a comp track and share it around to online forums for people that do VO. If your cut is impressive enough, maybe you can work out a swap wherein a pro agrees to help you out in order to have a cool new video on their demo reel.

mercer Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'll do it. I've acted in a few indie shorts and features. And if you need a woman's voice, my girlfriend used to act and is looking to get into voice work. Lintelfilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Nuss Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 This might not be relevant for your personal unpaid project, but for paid projects where you have set aside budget for voice talent, i've had good success over the past few years finding and hiring voice talent using the site voice123.You put in the project details, a sample of the script and your budget and then the system finds people who meet that criteria and if they are interested they will audition. They also have guidelines on their site to help you budget for voice talent which i have found helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK sorry, but your examples are pretty high end. As you say there's no harm in asking. But I'll believe it when I see it (or hear it).
