I have gotten in two more voice overs. I sent back to the first talent to please re-do his. Not because it was bad--it was OUTSTANDING--but because there was an over abundance of room echo. Savannah and I racked our brains and sent a few suggestions on how to perhaps conquor that annoying problem. I tried to fix it in SoundBooth before I sent the e-mail, but I couldn't get it down enough to suit myself. (It wouldn't sound professional at all, no matter how grand the lad's voice is!)
The second talent sent 13 takes (on one recording) of his voice over. It took a little sisterly consultation to pick the best take. :) I must admit that I cracked up ever time I listened to one of the takes as he was attempting to sound slightly weepy on that one. (That wasn't the one I picked by the way!)
Granted, while the above is exciting, I was the most pleased to get a rough, "unrehearsed" take of the first five minutes of the narration! Mr. K is going to do just splendidly, let me tell you. I really like the fact that he sounds like one of the men he is reading about. Clear, articulate, and yet an accent like none other. :) I don't even mind the fact that he drops the 'g' on '-ing' words. He adds character to my words that I like.
So...that's my Cow Cavalry update...and I just realized that it is almost 11 o'clock and I'm still sitting here in my apron and I haven't washed the breakfast dishes yet! I got a little sidetracked this morning if you can't tell!
