Haha! Yes! And it can be so funny because sometimes the scripts I am given are full of mistakes - or really unnatural English (of course I end up correcting them or suggesting alternatives). One of the odd ones I can remember doing was for a kid's toy for ages 5-10. It was like a trivial quiz sort of thing. There was a button with a picture of hands on it, and when it got pressed, the audio said: "Don't forget to wash these when you go to pee and poop." Funny, right?
Another funny one I remember had something to do with Whinnie the Pooh. Not sure what the point was exactly, but I had to describe him as being: "Stuffed full of fluff".Hehehehe. Ok, nuff said. Have a listen to my "CHILDREN'S BOOK VOICE". It's just a bunch of phrases, nothing exciting, but you'll get the picture of what's entailed.
What a wonderful thing to do, read children's books for the radio, lucky you.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Is this over-voice work a paying gig? What an awesome way to work!! You have such a beautiful voice. Hope we get to hear it more and more often. (*wink* ie: more vlogs and audio uploads...)
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! You've a damn good voice for kid's books too. I'd like to get into that kind of thing, though there isn't much call for a Welsh accent, hehe.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful job! And not at all surprising, I love your voice and your accent...its perfect for children's books!
ReplyDeletethat is a cool gig Jess. your voice sounds perfect too
ReplyDeleteYour voice is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat was great, I'm very impressed! What a fun (yeah, yeah, I know you don't want to do it today) job to have. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool gig! =) You're perfect for this!
ReplyDeleteCan I hire you to be the voice on my Garmin GPS? Your voice is much nicer than hers & I don't think you'd sound anywhere near as snooty telling me to "turn left now".
ReplyDeleteOh and there's nothing funny about Winnie the Pooh being stuffed with fluff. It's true! I've met him before.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. I have to listen to this when I get home, but I've always though the idea of doing voice overs was really fascinating.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, and I love your voice! What a beautiful accent.
ReplyDeleteYou sound perfect for that! how do you get into a gig like that anyway? I always hear I have a nice voice.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun you must have doing that.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
This is great! I did not know this about you. Always great to hear of blogger's other talents!
ReplyDeleteWow. You have such a great reading voice!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! That is ridiculously cute. You have a great voice!
ReplyDeleteNope, I didn't know about about you!
ReplyDeleteI love your voice. :)
Wow Jess, you certainly are a woman of many talents. This is oh so very cool!
ReplyDeleteomg! *snort* SO SO SO not surprised. And you big sneak. I said you could be the voice of one of my characters and you were all "la la la... not saying a word that I already do voiceovers..."
ReplyDeleteDon't fall! Did you do any of the voices in Miffy? ;p
I love your voice! I'm not surprised you do voiceover work!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm jealous. I sounds whiny, nasally and lack a cool Australian accent.
ReplyDeleteI think you have my dream job. How cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Hart - you do have a cool accent :-)
OMG your voice is SO CUTE!!! HA!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your voice! It's perfect for children. I sometimes choose my books on tape by the narrator. I heard recently that some writers are working with their favorite books on tape narrators--actually writing stories based on their voices! Would love to hear a full story sometime. Or maybe you'll read an excerpt of your novel for us? :-)
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteSo cool that you do voice recordings. :)
Wow... that is so cool! I would love to have a job like that:)
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell woman? You didn't like crisps? How can you teach children that? My world has gone down now, thanks very much lol
ReplyDeleteU have a great recording voice by the way =)
What fun! And you have such a lovely reading voice. :)
