audio bizzareness

In searching for a sample of Chris Langham’s voice ([www.castaway.org.uk] – a tour-de-force of his style) I took a look at the larger website.

Castaway can provide any voice you want.

We have the widest range of carefully selected professional voice talent.

Our traditional voices have got all the awards. Our young voices aren’t just sassy, they’re highly professional and get the job done fast and to order.

It’s unlikely, but if we can’t provide what you want, we’ll tell you who can. We’re the one stop shop.

television commercials, narration, radio commercials, dubbing, cinema commercials, cartoon voices, corporate narratives, medical narratives, teaching tapes, impressions, book readings, station announcements, voice-unders, digitised voices, promos, post production, showreels, voicemail and anything else you can think of.

It’s bizzare, and incredible – you can go though and put faces to all those voices you’ve never seen, but have heard so often on TV; not to mention the descriptions:

Chris Langham (35-50)
Deep brown voice with sardonic wit. Fabulous timing.

Karen Archer (30-45)
Smooth and silky. Natural and calm. Popular narrator.

Tim Howar (20-35)
AMERICAN. Zany characters delivered at incredible speed.

Tracy-Ann Oberman (20-35)
TV comedy actress with amazing range. Smooth, relaxed, multi-talented.

Nigel Pilkington (15-30)
LANCS-born. Young, cheeky, smooth RP & versatile on accents.

…and now I know to where I can direct people who want to know what “Received Pronounciation” sounds like.

    I was disappointed not to find Peter Salis listed. (“No cheese, Gromit–not a bit in the house!”) I really, REALLY wanted to read their description of his voice. 🙂
