Hi David - Yes, with voice over it is about using the right narrator for the right project. One type of voice doesn't necessarily work for every project - even when it's otherwise a good one.

If anyone knows any animators looking for writer/collaborators, let me know; I have a second clip I'd love to see animated, too.... Expand

They have a variety of styles and sounds. • When doing the recordings with internal staff (Shalene), we use a simple microphone and we control ambient noise by recording in a small non-echoing room. The external talent uses more sophisticated equipment and recording rooms. • We edit using Audaci... Expand
