  • Hi, I loved your video. You have the charm, passion, and voice for voice overs. I wish all the success in the world. I'm also interested in pursuing a career in voice overs and have been studying this about a 8 months now. I don't have any videos here yet, but when I do, I hope you can check them out and tell me what you think.

  • Great video bro! Greetings from Argentina!!!

  • You have a great voice and lots of emotion. Thank you for helping us with this video.

    Good luck to you,

    Greg

  • YOU ARE GREAT!!! My brother and i have started our own dj business and we work in a radio studio in scotland, we would love it if you could do a 5 sec voice over for us to use in our upcomming youtube video

    thanks very much and god bless

  • I knew you were a pastor when you started talking :). My dad is an assistant pastor. I wold like to hear one of your sermons.

  • That was a great clip sounds wonderful! What kind of set up do you have? Mixer, mic, etc. What did you use to get that movie trailer effects in this clip? Thanks Rob

  • I tried out a mic called an ART Mfour tube mic. it's a condenser xlr. I thought it was awsome. have you an opinions about tube mics?

  • very nice voice that you've got pastor.. i'm a DJ here in the philippines. i just don't know how to get a DJ voice over from u.. how much? lolz..

  • Jay, Thanks for putting it out there brother. I am grateful for your contribution and have added your clip on my training list. I've wanted to do something with my voice for almost 40 years and now made the commitment to follow through. Just started some coaching and will be doing my first podcast soon reading children stories.

    With Gratitude,

    Michael

  • My Voice Is Better

  • @tylerdurden1971 I received a message on my Voice over page saying, "My Voice Is Better" I believe you, just do something with it and make a difference in the world. God Bless

  • Please watch my voice overs for a smile! Thank you !

  • Pastor try a compressor and a intonation processor.

  • I gotta just say that this is pretty impressive. I just happened to watch a parody of a cartoon and found myself curious of the voice over process. The main thing that sticks out to me is the passion that this guy has for this, and I applaud it! I know this vid isn't anything major but from his passion and detail I'm now possibly looking to learn more about this. Great job! I salute you for sharing something you feel strongly about. Keep going, and dig in to it even futher!.

  •  Thank you for you kind words.

  • Great video brother! I'm looking for a mic now. Do you think the samson g track is a good mic to start out with? or what would you recommend? oh, and it has to be a USB mic.

    Thanks God Bless!

  • @bornagain3377 USB is Ok to start with but after you make a few bucks you should upgrade to a good condenser microphone that connects to a regular mic cable and into some interface that connects to your computer. An 'Apogee' a great option.

  • @CONTAGIOUS7 I decided to rent a mic first. I rented the ART Mfour it is a tube mic. I think it sounds pretty good... but it is hard to tell if the quality really is good, when you don't know what good sound is. Could I send you an mp3 sample when i record one? I am so excited to get going on my new career.

  • @bornagain3377 How is the voice over going for you? If you want me to listen send me an MP3.

  • Great work! Thank you for the inspiration. Bless!

  • Great Video. I really want to learn this talent.

  • Thank you! Very informative! I'm also a Senior Pastor with a desire to venture in the area of profession voiceover. I pray God's blessings upon your pursuits in that area.

  • Ohh I wish you were my dad, you seem a really cool and talented father. 6:50 OMG it sounded like a movie, hahah if you close your eyes you feel like you are in a theater.

    Thanks Jay for sharing this, i'll try something when i get a good mic :]

  • you are a very likeable person, without people even meeting you

  • I'm no expert and if I can do it trust me when i say you can do it.

  • I really enjoyed watching this! It is really helpful except I don't have any expensive equipment.... Anyways, what would you suggest on doing small voice overs for like sims youtube videos?

  • that was great

    I like your lesson,, you have a great voice

    good job..

    I think the last narration with the music would've being better if you recorded your VO with two channels.. I believe it was only one channel..

  • Thanks for your opinion. I appreciate it.

  • What kind of microphone is that? Are you using Audacity or what exactly? When are you going to make more videos?

  • The mic is a generic "Sterling Audio." I'm use garage band. for software. I have been traveling all of Latin America on tour with my band. It's hard to find time to do more videos. I will do one soon I promise. Check out the band

  • What kind of mic and setup do you have? When are you going to do some more of these vids?

  • When are you going to do more of these? What kind of mic and setup do you have?

  • Dear Jay:

    Your advice was helpful.  I think you have very good voice for voice over. I wish you well.

  • Thanks for those kind words.

  • i love this video it really helped me with making my voice over audition tapes...ive booked 5 voice over jobs..because of this video thank you so much!!! god bless haha

  • i'm a music producer from holland, and I think that you have a great voice. Is it perhps possible that you can do a voice over for me?

  • You have a great voice.

    Let me introduce myself, i'm a 18 years old producer from holland. Is it perhaps possible that you can do a voice over for me?

  • hi great video, could you give me some help. do you know how it is possible to monitor your voice in real time ? i have a samson C03u usb mic and it isnt possible to have live monitoring, do you know what mic and pre amp i will need to run on a vista computer with live monitoring . hope you can help, thanks

  • I must tell you that my set up is very simple. I plug up my headphones directly into my computer. This is probably not going to help you BUT i will look into it for you and get you your answer.

    Thank You God Bless

  • I guess your natural voice helps a lot do to this kind of stuff... You are lucky ! I would like to have a voice like yours.

  • JayJay, I want to encourage you, if this is something you would enjoy doing than GO FOR IT. Don't worry about what other people voice sounds like. You can be sure of one thing....NO ONE and I mean NO ONE has your unique voice. There is only one of you and that can never be replaced. There is so much work out there in this field I am sure you will find your market. God Bless You and Be Confident. Remember you can do this.

  • Yeah ! Your words makes me feel confident, don't worry about that, I will not forget it, thanks a lot, God bless you too & keep up yourself. Greetings from France.

  • simply brilliant ....kudos

  • Thank you for your words of encouragement. I really appreciate that. If you ever need a voice over shoot me an e-mail.

  • simply brilliant ....kudos

  • You really should have posted some more videos =(

  • Thanks for your comment. I will put some more videos together just for you. What would you like to learn about this topic of voice over?

  • well considering that I am a beginner, anything can be helpful. I really need to figure out how to increase range and consistancy. I've agreed to help a friend do a voice or two in an internet series he's trying to put together based on Halo =D

  • I'll work on putting something together that should help you. It's going to take some time since I'm doing a narration for an independent film. Let me think out what I'm going to video tape before pushing the RECORD BUTTON and up loading it to my YOUTUBE PAGE. Also keep in mind that if you would like for me to help with some recording, shoot me over a script.

  • Oh man that would be awesome! I still have a few weeks before I record anything and I will definitely send you the script if I am completely lost..lol

    I'll double check with my friend if he's cool with me sending it off =D

  • The trend for some years has been a very conversational almost unprofessional "sounding" read. CONTAGIOUS7 has a beautiful voice, possibly very consistent with what might make a successful DJ. You have a great announcer/promo voice and will probably have success there. I've been in the business since '93 and there is a lot of prejudice toward announcer sounding guys when it comes to commercials.

  • dude i totaly agree wit you

    i'm the same way..

    i'm also a behind the scene nerd..haha

  • The Mic that I used in my "Learn to do Voice Over" youtube video is a "Sterling Audio Mic" with a 0db and a -10 db (decibel) roll off switch. It is a generic mic of the more expensive types.That's what I used in my You Tube Video the cost was $299.00. It is well worth every penny. If you have any other questions feel free to write back. Jay

  • God Bless you bro...Sorry for my english it's so bad.Are you part of Contagious Band right? Can you help me please? Can you do a video like this but in spanish,please? The Reason what I going to the cinema is to see the previews and listen The Voice.

    Please help me.I want to do a movie trailer for the next Youth Camp in my church. I'm writing you from Costa Rica.

    Once again...sorry for my english.

    God Bless you

  • God Bless you brother. Excuse me for my english...it's so bad.Are you part of Contagious Band right? It's a great band Do you speak spanish right? Would you make a kind of video like this but in spanish please, because I understand only some words...sorry.

    The trailers is the most important reason what I going to the cinema. I going there only for see it.

    I want to do a trailer for a youth camp of my church.

    I hope that you can do it... Please...Plese...

    I'm writing you from Costa Rica

  • Yes what ever I can do to help. You can write to me in Spanish I can read it perfectly. I just can't write it to good. God Bless You. Jay

  • What software are you to process your voice? More important what setting are you using in your software? I have two different software packages Audition and Sonar and can not get my settings correct to create that movie trailer affect to my voice. It seem everyone that I find wants to keep that part of voice over work secret. I am working to do voice overs for my church commercials and TV broadcast. That way I can have excellence for the Father above.

  • gerald612-I don't use a processor. I am using the Apogee Duet with a Generic Mic call a Sterling Audio mic I bought both at Sam Ash. I can tell you with all honesty what you here is plug n play settings. I don't add anything to my voice. The duet is a excellent system for home use with pro quality. I sometimes use the basic Garage Band effect Under the "Podcasting"Setting "Male Radio Noisy" If I did use an effect this is this one. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Gerald612 How is it going with you church projects with voice overs? Remember if you need anything. Shoot me over a script. I can help.

  • hey i just got the itch and came upon your video, i like the way you sound and was wondering if you could send me a breakdown of your setup. Thanks!

  • My set up is a very very very simple set up. All I have is a Generic Mic called" Stirling Audio Mic with a 0db and -10db (Decibel) roll off switch-which cost $299.00 at Sam Ash Music. I use the Apogee Duet $500.00 for my Mac Computer and Garage Band software that come with the mac. I use the "Podcasting"Setting in Garage Band and under that setting look for "Male Radio Noisy" effect. This is what works for my voice. You might need to try other effects for your voice. --God Bless

  • Remember this -- dboyd 1985 -- God gave you a unique voice that no one has--use it and be you. Everybody is born unique but many die a copy. Be you and use your natural ability. With Gods help you can do this and have a great future in this field of voice overs.

  • Jay

    Really great voice, thanks!

  • Thank you for your complement. Sorry it took so long to respond back to you. I just got back in the country. I've been out 4 weeks.

  • are you actually running your mike through the MAC via a mixer.  Could you comment in a future vid about you have set up the equipment?

    Thank you!

    Great voice.

  • Yes i will. Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Awesome (:

    Love this field, wish to land a job someday doing it.. (:

  • There is more work than there are voice over artists. Look at your local businesses in your area. They are always looking for voice over talent to do a spot for there company. Mom and pop shops are a great start to build a client base. Remember not all small businesses stay small many times they grow and you should grow with them.

  • THANKS!!!:)

  • Good job. I enjoyed your video. Keep it up. I hope you get to be famous voice over artist. I would like to get into it as well. No idea how though. Good luck to you.

  • Thanks Sherryqueen31 for those encouraging words.

  • Hi you sound really great! Very professional! I am a student animator and I was just wondering if you would ever be interested in the future if I passed on a few lines of script for my animation projects? This would be really appreciated, but I can understand if you don't really have the time for this sort of thing being a family man and such. Thanks for your time

    Keith

  • Keith it would be my pleasure to help you out . The good thing about voice over is that it is a very flexible career. Shoot me a script sometime. I'd love to do it.

  • Thanks so much, that would be really awesome! At the moment I don't have much in terms of voice overs in my briefs, but sometime at the start of next year I should have some big projects coming up. Thanks again!

  • Thanks so much! that would be really awesome! I don't have much in terms of voice over in my current briefs, but some time early next year I should have some big projects. Thanks again!

    Keith

  • You have nice sound man! What microphone is that?

  • Studio Audio a cheap version of a more expensive mic bought at Guitar Center. $250-$300
