Salutation:

Hey there, this is Stephanie. Welcome to VOX Talk! We’ve got David Boyll, Colin Campbell, Bettye Zoller and Doug Rein on the show today.

The Loop:

Liam Neeson in Fallout 3

In video game voice acting news, Irish-born actor Liam Neeson will lead the voice acting cast for Bethesda Softworks’ game, Fallout 3. Liam, known predominantly for his screen acting work, also has dozens of voice over roles under his belt, including the lion Aslan in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, audio book narrator of The Polar Express and a dozen or so documentary narration credits.

The Biz:

Today in The Biz, David Boyll of davidboyll.com shares a real life experience where being flexible in a professional recording studio setting is not just an asset it’s a skill!

Thank you David for showing us a different aspect of the biz when being directed inside the booth. We’re privileged just to listen to what you experienced and how you overcame a sticky situation! This is why they call it voice acting!

Tech Talk:

This week, Colin Campbell teaches us a thing or two about EQ or Equalization. Get comfy, this one is definitely something we all need to hear!

Colin, thanks for explaining this highly interesting and crucial topic. Again folks, this is information you will not find anywhere else. Let Colin know how much you appreciate his work at affordableannouncer.com!

VoxBox:

To start off this segment, I’d like to play some audio feedback from voice over coach Bettye Zoller. Last week, Bettye and I co-wrote an article on VOX Daily about audio engineering, voice acting, and how the two aren’t necessarily the same thing. Here’s Bettye:

Also, I thought it would be fun to bring this episode to a close with another humorous demo submitted by Doug Rein about dentures. Let’s take a listen:

That’s a very unique way to showcase character voices and accents! If you liked Doug’s demo, send him a note at his website, http://dougrein.voices.com.
