Great Scott, man that was excellent.
Question: when doing multiple lines with multiple characters for a conversation production, do you record them in real time or stay in character for all of one character’s lines?

Terry Daniel August 25 at 8:27 am

Hi Greg!

I’ve done it both ways.

Bill Sleeper August 25 at 2:12 pm

Yes, yes, YES! My dreams (and my daughter’s nightmares!) come true when I say the magic word: Voiceovers!

Nothing better than entering a career to get paid for what I do around the house naturally!!!

Great stuff, you guys!

Very nice work. Each of the characters is well defined. I’m curious as to how much time is spent developing these characters? I assume some voices come more quickly than others.

Scooter September 7 at 5:50 am

Hi Christina,

In the case of this videogame company, they provide me with drawings and profiles of each major character; that makes it fairly easy to create the character’s voice, usually in a matter of minutes. With minor characters, I often just get a drawing, sometimes nothing; what I often do in that case is use a variation of other minor characters (maybe add an accent to an existing voice) – often those minor characters only have two or three lines anyway. This particular company, 8DWorld, has given me a lot of freedom to just get crazy with voices. I cannot tell you how much fun that is!

Fun video to watch. I sometimes feel a bit goofy if someones watching when trying to get into a part then I see someone like Scott and think, “hey it’s ok”.

Thanks for sharing,
Paul Hernandez

What FUN! Sounds like you were “channeling” some of the Beatles, and maybe Ronald Reagan in there now and then. :) Thanks for sharing this video.

Thanks for sharing a peek. My daughter just watched it with me and said it was ‘awesome.” It’s amazing how many kids would ‘like’ to be a cartoon.

Marvin Boyer November 3 at 9:56 pm

Now that looks (and sounds) like fun! What an awesome way to pay the mortgage!

Scott Fortney of the Fortney beer barons? Hbg-Steve would love some advice if you’re willing to share. Spoke to your brother at the store a while back and he mentioned that you were up for a part in a popular childrens show or perhaps a game version, anyway I need to consult with a pro about preparing a demo. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks- Steve.

Hey, I just want to say thanks for all of the kind comments on this video. I’m about to produce a new one, and help Terry with another project. I hope you enjoy it.

chuck December 15 at 1:45 pm

How do I get started and who do I contact?

Terry Daniel December 15 at 1:54 pm

Hi Chuck!

Thanks for the question. I will contact you. :-)

Scott "Scooter" Fortney December 29 at 5:52 pm

Hey Steve,
I’m very sorry, but I just saw your question for me. I can help you with your demo; in fact, it’s part of my business. Contact me at [email protected] or get my phone number from my brother.
Looking forward to chatting with you.
Scooter
