Yet another blogskin.




yet another blogskin. actually it ain't really a blogskin. it's just rearranging stuff around and importing two photos. which does bring up the question of what a blogskin is.

been kind of busy these few days. projects and all but well, there's a good outcome.

I've been considering an audio-related career. VO perhaps? but then again maybe that'll be a part-time job to earn cash while doing my regular work. After all, VOs dont pass by everyday.

Pardon me for not explaining what VO is.
VO stands for Voice Over. From radio commercials to the voices that you hear sprouting torturing questions for Listening Comprehension examinations to TV Commercials to basically everything audio and media. Even voices on CD-roms are considered Voice Overs.

Of course I aint quite sure what the proper title is. Voice Over Specialist? Voice Over Person? (shrugs)

Anyway, i'm 88% sure of an audio career. It's just a matter of what and where and how. Well, I dare say there's a huge market of audio needs, wants and demands, the risk is kindof high. Imagine having a cold or a sore throat and you wont earn a single penny. Or cent in Singapore context.

I still have lots to work on, namely nasality. What's that, i hear you ask.
It's the air that escapes from your nose when you speak. Try putting a finger under your nose and talk or humm. Feel slightly warm air coming out from your nose? Means ya have nasality.

Why nasality is bad? Nasality makes you sound really whiney and high-pitched.

So well, wish me all the best in my strive for audio excellence eh. Gotta get a grip on vocal tempo and clarity of speech.

I may upload some of the VO I do though. lol. Till next time, take care amigos!
