As we were scrambling to leave the house today for our cross country trek, I get a call on the handy dandy cellular.
She: Stu, Whats your availability for some audio?
Me: Well, I’m travelling the next couple days, but am taking the equipment with me.
She: Allright, I’ll send your audio to the client. We’ll see what happens.
Swell.
About three hours later, just east of Memphis I get a Voicemail.
She: Stu, your the voice they want. Call to confirm!
So I called. And I got a script in the Email.
She: When are you going to voice tonight?
Me: Between 7 and 8 central from wherever we bed down for the night. ( I didn’t really say bed down for the night, but it does make it sound more Wild Wild West)
So, from a closet filled with pillows ( I don’t have Harlan Hogan’s Fab Contraption…Yet) I voiced my first project ‘On the Road’.
Coolness.
We’ll see how they like it tomorrow!

Congrats Stu! Seems like a cardinal rule of voiceover that if you plan on going on vacation, plan on either missing a job or doing the job in a dark closet.
Stu,
Welcome to the world of voiceover on the road. It can certainly make life interesting. A few weeks ago I had to record a long voiceover in a hotel room right next to the pool. Made for some very late night recording and strange sleep patterns, but we got it all done.
Be well,
Bob
I ended up two nights in the closet! Again in Amarillo Texas!
Thanks guys for the comments. And here’s to many nights recording next to pools and in closets!
