just voice, not face, agreed? |
You don't need a plastic surgery in order that your voice to be known by world. Just yell to the sky: "We will we will rock you!"
Voice-over (also known as off-camera or off-stage commentary) is a production technique where a voice—that is not part of the narrative (non-diegetic)—is used in a radio, television production, filmmaking, theatre, or other presentations. The voice-over may be spoken by someone who appears elsewhere in the production or by a specialist voice actor. It is pre-recorded and placed over the top of a film or video and commonly used in documentaries or news reports to explain information. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice-over)
James Bond's Voice-over, how about that? He is not telling you something called off-camera or off-stage commentary. He is not suggesting you to be part of Elance or Odesk freelancer. There is no production house where a voice let go abegging. You cannot listen to your own voice in a radio, television production, filmmaking, theatre, or other presentations. The voice-over may not be spoken by someone who appears to be Pierce Brosnan or Roger Moore.
So, what's it all about?
Okay James Bond won't take you there to be him, but elsewhere in the world the production is needed, a specialist voice actor is also needed. You just cannot have this fancy in mind as static: It is pre-recorded and placed over the top of a film or video and commonly used in documentaries or news reports to explain information.
But you might find any opportunities out there like Chicago Needs Voice Over, Are You Interested?
The opportunity above is applied to anybody whose English is their mother tongue. Chicago needs voice over, which does not include those coming from Indonesia or India. But probably, there are opportunities there for the latter. Don’t you think it’s funny to find the fact how Indonesians or Indians speak English with their local dialect, Indonesians with Javanese or Bataknese and Indians with Tamil or Urdu? One thing for sure, you don't need to have James Bond blessing in order to follow the audition.
You're still can be James Bond with your fabulous voice but only if you believe it!
