Dubbed for a cookware product video
Tiring but satisfying day at work. It was a good learning experience to do dubbing. This was for a home appliance cooking product from Pigeon, called Pigeon Rapido Touch induction cook-top.
First, there was this translated script that I was uncomfortable with. Once I shared my thoughts, the producer also agreed that it would make sense to make corrections on to the script, on the fly. I even called up my in-laws during a break to get the perfect Tamil translation for English words like 'Preset', 'Hotpot' and 'Turbo'. The entire process took time, but at the end of the day it was satisfying that we did the right thing.
Second, the bigger challenge was to keep the sentences and words to fit the already created demo video. Once we were done with each para, it was made sure that it was production ready with the required edits.
In the mean while, I have been connecting with a few other VOs in the industry and building my network. It's nice to share your experience and learn from others.

E-Learning for a Life Sciences product
It was nice to do a twenty page E-Learning voice over assignment for a product from Aris Global, a life sciences company, in close to about two hours.
-- Update | 16 Dec 2010 --
Covered other modules of the same product. This time around, took more time for the twenty two pages of script. I wasn't rushing through and the results came out well.

Change Over
Decided to move away from Box.net to DropBox as the file repository, as I get a tighter grip to the direct URLs which gives me the power to choose better audio players. Did not want you visitors to wait for ample seconds for the audio to load and play. Sometimes, you never know if it is loading or not. Did not like the ambiguity.
So, switched over to Dewplayer which seems to be loading the files much faster than the Box.net player. I can see the difference for sure and have tested out on IE8, FireFox and Chrome. Let me know if you face any issues.
Working on a few podcast ideas. Stay tuned!
