In earlier articles you've enjoyed Terry Daniel's annual holiday message featuring 60+ voice talents (click here) and what we dubbed The Two Baritones - Dan Hurst and Rick Lance (click here). Here's three more ... PHILIP BANKS 'Twas the WHAT? by Philip Banks  "We happy band of Voiceoverists live in a ridiculous world and have the opportunity to make a living reading out loud. At the end of the year we have time to relax, reflect and dream about what may happen in the year to come. I wanted to wish people a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and thought about all the things WE believe are important - all the things we put ourselves up about, and all the things we either worry or get mad about. "I saw the words to 'Twas the Night Before Christmas and began to type and went into my VO booth (a second-hand converted septic tank bought from an Indian Restaurant in Portland), and recorded 'Twas the WHAT? We need to take doing what we do well seriously, but not doing what we do." www.philipbanks.co.uk Enjoy 'Twas the What? by clicking here. THE FOUR VOICEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Be A Blessing Written and Produced by Herb Merriweather  Andy Boyns: "Be a Blessing was
written and
produced by Herb Merriweather as a bit of seasonal fun. As well as
being a great opportunity to share a simple message, it is also another
wonderful demonstration of the creative synergy that can occur through
the voiceover community. It's always exciting to be part of an
international project like this with each of the participants brought
together across vast distances onto one audio file. That's something
special. "In fact, four of the cast were flung especially close together sharing a room at the VOICE 2012 convention at the Disneyland Hotel earlier this year. The group - Andy Boyns, Mehmet Onur, Pocholo Gonzales and Herb Merriweather - dubbed by the latter as "The Four Voicemen of the Apocalypse" - looks forward to creating new opportunities of getting creative together. "With additional input from EJ Holly and Wil Cheung we're all looking forward to Herb doing this again, and collecting us together for a studio party in his studio, also known as "The Hole."

JERRY REED Jest 'for Christmas by Eugene Reed (1850-1895)  "I chose this poem as I had seen it in a very old book that I picked up in a used book store many years ago. The book was Public School Methods, published in about 1912. I had long admired the poem, and had heard my favorite Canadian storyteller, the late Alan Maitland, read it on the CBC Radio program, As It Happens, many years ago. So I decided to give it a go - and it was fun! This was on of three Christmas readings I voiced for my friends." www.jerryreed.com Enjoy Jest 'for Christmas by clicking here. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! |
