Behind the mic - The making of an Informercial Voice Over

I do a lot of those (sometimes annoying) infomercial voice over work, and a lot of friends always ask how hard it is (that's what SHE said) how long does it take, etc. So today I got a quick :60 second spot form my buddy Cecil at Mid Media who always sends me the 'over the top' infomercials to read. I decided to get the camera out and record the session to give folks a look 'behind the mic'. Hope you enjoy! BTW, I did wear blue today in memory of the late Billy Mays. I hear he's pitching wings and halos to the angles now and making a killing doing it!

@MITDPROD lol, that's funny. i still pick up the 2600 mag whenever i see it. voice-over and broadcast work takes it's own kind of hacking, i'm sure. i'm just getting into all this for a podcast and there is tons to take in. thanks for the videos. :)

It has action. I prefer Caio Cesar of Brazil. He does have talent and plenty of action in the voice
