In an email exchange today with one of my TV affilliate promo clients, my client thanked me for the sports promos I had sent to him. And then he asked:
“Also, these are great recordings. Did you get a new mic?”
I replied:
“You just made me laugh. I have a cold. My vocal register took a dip down a bit. Same mic, audio chain. Just a different ‘tuning’ of my vocal cords. :-)”
To that, he replied:
“It sounds good! hahaha!”
To which, I replied the following:
“Hmmm. Maybe there might be an entrepreneurial angle to this. I could market cold viruses in a bottle to voice talents. I can hear the spot for this blockbuster product now…”
