News Sound Bites - Mostly VO Stuff Today...

Scott Brick is giving you an audiobook free sample! Click to hear the first chapter of Lord Foul's Bane by Stephan R. Donaldson! Scott's the man! I would listen to him narrate paint drying!

io9.com is quickly becoming one of my favorite places on the web to hang out. They're feeding my sound design obsession with this awesome mega-post of the most iconic sound effects in scifi history!

In other audiobook news, Voiceregistry has a two part interview with Alfred Molina, on his work in audiobooks, VO, and narration! Part 1 Part 2

Will text to speech software replace voice over actors? Join the discussion at VOX Daily!

I'm SO STOKED for Iron Man, it's kinda silly. Robert Downey Jr is the PERFECT pick for Tony Stark. Gaming Today has a great behind the scenes video on the making of the Iron Man video game staring Downey.
Check it out below!

Doctor Who Rules!

So Mrs. AudioGuy and I just finished season two of Dr. Who, and man is it a great show. I sobbed like a little girl for the K-9 episode.
One of the fun things about this revival for me though is seeing the show maintain it's tongue in cheek roots, while also modernizing. Seeing the updates to the Daleks and Cybermen has been really interesting, and of course after every episode I try to make myself sound like one of the villains.

I've gotten pretty good at cybermen. Pitch drop, EQ, Flange, and smooth it out. Bam! Cyberman! I'm actually having a spot of trouble with the Daleks. I know there is some upper end EQ, and some ring modulation, but I can't figure out the doses. Also there might just be more performance involved too. Cybermen are pretty flat.

I'm thinking about holding a contest for best monster/sci-fi/etc editing here on this blog. Just always been one of my favorite things to do, and it seems like it would be a lot of fun.

So for you Doctor Who fans, here's a great older article about the shows sounds, and here's a link to a page full of awesome sounds (I use quite a few on my 6700, good times).

Have fun!

Calling All MST3K Fans! Mike Nelson on Geekza!

Though I have to admit that I'm more of a Joel fan...

I'm not sure how these guys get these interviews, but the cats at Geekza have scored some Awesome (!) interviews, most recently George Takei, and now Mike Nelson of MST3K.


The show goes live 7pm EST, so go check it out. Apparently there's a contest or some such nonsense as well...
