Day 7 - Sustantivo Espanol

I was just asked to record a voice-over for a training video - they needed a female voice, speaking English with a Spanish accent. I read through my line once and the editor nearly fell over, he was so happy - I recorded the line, we listened to the playback, and they declared me a one-take wonder. Evidently, I sound much better with a Spanish accent than I do with my regular Utah drawwwwl! The real wonder, though, was when the editor asked if I could sound like a boy from New Jersey, and I DID.

You've heard enough authentic JOISEY to be believable. Think you could turn this into a full-time gig? Sell it as a cost savings to the voice-over community, since they would never have to fly anyone (male or female, apparently) from anywhere to get their voices. :+)

I'm super impressed that you could do either accent, as I have no such abilities, not even in my head.

Did they pay you extra?

That was MY first question. The answer is "no".
