VoxBox:

Today in the VOX Box, I’d like to put a call out for humorous demos! That’s right, you heard me!

A week or so ago, I was browsing Voices.com and found one of the funniest audio pieces I’ve heard in a long time. The demo was recorded and produced by Fiona Spreadborough of the United Kingdom. I sent it to Kara Edwards and, as an avid gardener, she loved it – well, if Kara liked it, I’m sure you will too! Let’s listen to the first segment in Fiona’s demo “4 Crazy Women”.

I loved Fiona’s voice acting. Her timing, anticipation, and ability to engage were fabulous! If you have a demo that has similar qualities in the PG humor department, send them in to Stephanie@voices.com.
