Future at hand

Well, today I did a radio commercial with my friends for our college assignment. Surely enough, I'm selected to be the "voice over talent"

I was reluctant, of course, but since one of my goal is to actually be an announcer, I figured it'll be a good chance for me to actually get some exposure. So, after some test takes, I got used to it, and got pretty good at it too.

It wasn't until after a few takes until our lecturer decided to add a female into the equation to make things livelier. So yeah, a total newbie whose antennae of her car is somehow destroyed, and don't listen to radio. Not to mention she's not even interested. Too bad for her, as the only other girl is chinese educated, and I'd really not wanna work with one.

It went pretty good, after a few practices, I tried to help her improve, and she did it pretty quickly. So we did a few takes, and the final one is a whole lot better. Once we got out of the VO room, to my surprise my lecturer said I could actually be an announcer, and said that I have a pretty good voice.

So I was pretty happy with the outcome,, and this experience will prove very useful for my future job application. After submitting the completed radio commercial, we will start making a video one. Will get busy, since there's so much to do in this short semester.
