    Default VoiceOver: can someone do a quick one for me right now???

    "Professional" narration for Documentary:


    Can someone do a quick voiceover for me? I'm editing now, and have a computer voice place holder, but need a human speaker.

    About 6 lines.

    Prefer British female, but male okay.

    Would supply text, and hopefully receive MP3.

    Can pay something with Paypal if required.

    I'll go ahead and upload the text file, and the sample COMPUTER generated version.

    If anyone wants a crack at it, and email it to me, that WOULD BE GREAT!!!

    I have another 6 hours or so.....

    I'm assuming its probably to late, but gave it a quick go for ya anyway. If you still need something let me know (and your email addy) and I'll flick you over a wav file, see what you can do with it.

    Don't ask....but yes.

    I can't go into it right now, but there's a reason why that isn't such a bad thing.

    It wasn't half bad. The audio quality was a bit crappy, and I'd prefer a "mature" voice, preferably female.

    Heck, I am not complaining...it was touch and go....btw, still rendering.....

    This is NOT a final release....more of a pre-release.

    Keeping the computer voice in there, will allow me to track it to see if it gets copied (and distributed without my permission).

    If the computer version pops up somewhere, at least I know where it came from!

    That's what I meant why it doesn't totally matter right now...

    Yeah I thought as much. Never been the greatest at ADR type stuff, and my XLR cable s**t itself so had to do a bit of a work around anyway. But I though't I'd at least give you the option. Cheers heaps for the feedback bro!

    [edit] good idea about the pre-rel tracking though... have t remember that
