Hey everyone welcome to Creating the Voice. I’m Chris Foster
and this is my blog. Since I was a child I have always appreciated music and
what is has to offer, dancing and singing around the house to a favorite song
or going out partying with friends on the weekend music was something I've grown
to be passionate about, It wasn't until I started going to college when I realized
that music is my only option as a career in the Audio industry… I get to learn
about music and recording bands but I also get to learn about sound for films. Combining
music with movies and being able to create sound effect gives me the best of
both worlds. One of the most important parts of working on a films sound are
the voices, a lot of the time ADR or Automated Dialogue replacement is required
in order to get the best sound quality for dialogue. Without voice overs so many
things would not be as good or interesting, cartoons would still be silent
films and even technology would be different. For example Siri without voice over technology there would be no automated voice on out phones responding
to our questions. This site will be all about voice overs and how they are
created. I will explain some techniques and give information about recording
your talent. I also will show video clips and talk about what I feel is good or
bad about them. I hope you enjoy what I have to share!
It sounds like we have something in common! When I first started college, I only noticed the music side of audio production. It wasnt until half way through college that I discovered a deeper interest in sound design. I love pairing audio and video seamlessly with means to tell a story. Think about advertising as another route in the sound design realm. Cheers! Brad
ReplyDeleteYea I love how audio can help add to a story line and can make a scene so interesting. I have thought about advertising but just never really put in as much thought or research into it as i have for film, but I am definitely going to keep that as apart of my options, Thank you for that.
DeleteWill you be talking about specific voice actors and actresses as well? I feel as if you could write a 20 page essay just on John DiMaggio or Mel Blanc.
ReplyDeleteI'm really into ADR as well and I've always wanted to be a voice actor for any sort of medium so I'd love to hear what you have to say.
Thanks, and yes I do plan on talking about different voice actors and actresses. If i was to do voice overs I would hands down pick cartoons just to make people laugh.
DeleteAwesome! Looking forward to your posts Chris!
