See spots run

I've received several reports that the bank spot is back on the air. Maybe it never left, but the reports are on the increase. That's good news, in a cha-ching kind of way.

Regarding the office spots, it's funny. Several people, including a best friend and even my brother, said they didn't recognize my voice, all disembodied like that.

No one likes the sound of their own voice, me included. But having done a few of these now I recognize how different my own voice can sound from day to day, gig to gig, hour to hour. This one voiceover I did a while back we had to dub in a few changes to the copy and I had them play back the original for me because it was actually at a higher register than my voice was that day and I wanted to match it as best I could. Bad dubbing on edited-for-TV movies always REALLY bugs me.

For the office spots we were hearing playbacks all day and I was really not liking the sound. Very nasally. And I was supposed to be this authoritative CEO guy (as authoritative as an ink cartridge can be). So at some point I lowered things down, and it definitely comes through on the third spot -- the one that's just me.

So I need to practice that. Not just for gigs, but day-to-day. Nasally's never a good way to be.
