Good to connect Tim! Have a great day!
I will keep you in mind!
Hi Group - Well here comes a completely unabashed straight forward promotion of the audio books I have recorded. I am completing #12, although Audible.com only shows 9 completed books.

That's because ACX, for whom these are being recorded, had some issues with the rights holders of 2 of the books so they were pulled. Anyway, one of my connections here on Stage32, Sylvia Marie Llewellyn has just purchased one of my books -Mark Cuban: Maverick Billionaire The Unauthorized Biography because she wanted to know more about this Shark Tank guru. Well, I told here that there are probably better books out there about Mark Cuban, but if you buy this one, I get royalties from the sale. The fact is, if you buy any of the books I recorded, I get a royalty. So without further delay, here is the link to Audible.com. http://www.audible.com/ Type my name - Roy Lunel in the search box and the books I have recorded will pop up. Listen to samples and select one that sounds good to you. Thanks in advance!! Enjoy a good listen!!

They liked my demos, but it made it extra convenient because the production company is located a few miles from where I live! Not that geographical location matters when doing VO, but it made it simple to connect and meet up at the nearby Starbucks. Hope to do more with them in the near future.
Fantastic, congrats Roy!

Hi Roy, I started my career in radio in Hawaii and then L.A. at KFWB!! From 1970-73. Maybe you were just a kid then :-). It was all news all the time and I was a jr. writer and production assistant.

It was all news all the time and I was a jr. writer and production assistant. I attended Pasadena City Coll at night while working at JPL as a secretary and went on to 4 yr colleges studying film and English and Journalism, at Humboldt State and U of Hawaii. Glad to know we have similar backgrounds. I worked with Phil Reed at KFWB, and Brian Bastien. Did you ever cross paths with them?? Small world! Best to you and your career.

Expand commentHi Stephanie - Thanks for connecting! That's so funny! I was a "kid" in 1970....going to PCC doing radio and TV there while working at Caltech' Office of Public Events. While there I did all their PSA's for Beckman Auditorium events that aired on all the LA radio stations....including KFWB!! I know the names Phil Reed and Brian Bastian....I think I met Brian once. It is a small world! Great to hook up with you. If you ever have need for a voice over talent for one of your productions, please let me know. I am a full time VO talent and stay busy doing commercials and narrations. bets to you Stephanie!

I can't tell you how many times in the job description for an audition the client wants a voice like Scarlett Johannson in "Her" or a "Siri-like voice."I try to imitate them but I'm not them. I have my own unique voice!

Expand commentI was the first human voice used for GPS Navigation waaaay back in 1997. It was a VO gig that lasted 10 years, but it was my own voice. It was processed and compressed, but it was a human voice that was used with a very sophisticated voice recognition system. I recorded millions and millions of street names, points of interest, parks, museums, restaurants, freeway exits and entrances for the entire United States. At times it felt like the voice over from hell. But it was my voice, a human voice, not a synthesized voice. As we all know now, Siri is also a human voice. Susan Bennet is the voice behind Siri in the US and there must be a reason why Apple did not use a synthesized voice. Although there is a certain robotic flavor behind hearing Siri, you know that Ms. Bennet actually sat in a studio and recorded everyone of those phrases and words. Yeah, try getting a synthesized voice to do Morgan Freeman or Mike Rowe. Not gonna happen.
Yay!!
Hey Roy! Thanks for connecting with me as well. I wish all the best. Please be sure to check out my music on my website: http://www.timbeckmusic.com/
