If he really sounded just like that? I like it! You should put that voice on your demo. Your natural speaking voice, Colin? I could listen to you all day!

What kind of mic are you using, by the way?

My "equipment" (no jokes please) is a Shure KSM32 (a "large diaphram condenser") into a Symetrix 528e voice processor (a requirement in my opinion) into a LynxOne PCI audio card, into Adobe Audition. I also use a Sampson PS01 "popper stopper" to kill the popped P's and T's and other gross mouth noises. I was a radio Production Director for 20 years and have a technical bent, but again, that "doesn't make me a talent." I am so frustrated trying to get away from my 9 to 5 and do this (my first love... voice over and production) that I am going nuts! Thank you Phyllis for the complement!

Ah... I get you two mixed up. I guess from a marketing standpoint I would say "you need to differentiate yourselves." Man... does that sound "cocky." Sorry. And... Amy, sorry for the mixup. I notice that you are doing very well on the other site in the "hot 100." I keep slipping. I have a feeling that the ranking system over there is based on how many you answer mostly.

Amy Snively · Posted: Mon Jan 15, 2007, 00:10 (GMT) Post subject:

The ranking system is based on a combination of:

How many people have rated you overall
The average ranking you have received
And ???

I have not noticed any impact of number of auditions answered on my personal rank. I'll be in a studio across town for a few days and not answer anything, for example...

Oh, how I wish I were occasionally "at a studio accross town."

It seems that if we type in the name of "that other site" it gets sripped out so I will post it so it is not a "link."

Let's see what happens.

That's amazing. I typed it without the dots and it still didn't come through. How about other website. Let's see just how smart this software is.
