Hello everyone!

I thought about creating a more "professional" video that shows the advantages of using processwire.

These are some examples of what I want to do:
 

http://vimeo.com/102909614

http://vimeo.com/103272218 
 
My pronunciation is in some phrases like Sofia Vergara:
 
 


 
 
That's why I'm here need a good Samaritan with a decent microphone to lend me his voice 10 or 11 phrases.

Haha!

I'm happy to help out, I have quite an "English" voice but if you need something sillier maybe consider Joss ;)

Actually a lot of these product videos are done in very upbeat American accents, probably better at selling than a British one :D

EDIT: Do all these product intros have the SAME jingle??

Did some button voices in the past. TextAloud gives you good quality text to speech.

You can find many good quality TTS voices at neospeech, violetta for spanish,

jennifer for english, etc. etc. Also AT&T Natural voices.

I can make some rrrrrrrussian accent include to make it more controversial and politically incorrect. It is international after all. Why proper english - a bit of suomi and the langue de allemandes should fit right in.

The Russian script would need to be different, especially if from the Cold War.

"ProcessWire is based on a powerful API .... but you don't need to know that!"

Mind you, that could apply to the US version these days!

(Sorry, Ivan! :) )

Obviously if it's for a bit of fun then I think anything goes but if we're being serious here about using it as a promotional tool, I would try and focus on the voice being friendly and bright.

Yes, it should be straight and authoritative, though, friendly, as Onjegolders says.

Clarity and Consistency are the two keywords - and that is as much about the copywriting as anything else. You can get the best voice in the world, but if the script is not properly written for voice, then it can not just fail, but be counter productive.

I have noticed this with some of the adobe tutorials - nicely and clearly voiced with proper recording and direction, but the script isn't perfect, and the result can sometimes be confusing. To be fair, the adobe in house tutorials are some of the better ones out there.

I also do straight voices (Pirates are a bit of a sideline, really...)

 

And UK voices are just as good for selling as US ones - in fact, they are often taken more seriously.

This voice would be perfect. Better than I expected :) If it's okay I send the script in a few days. Thanks Joss and btw I love your gravatar the masked lebowski.

Edited: With a friendly background music will be fine :)

@blad: Why not making the hard-cut version of the video first so we could throw some ideas in if something is missing and doing the voice stuff afterwards? Thanks for making this anyway :)

Good idea - some of the big PW users here have spent a lot of time "selling" PW to their clients - their insight would be useful.

(And some of the insights will be plain ludicrous, but one takes what one can...)

DEAR GAAWWD I LOVE THIS WOMAN.

Okay, I had to back track to make sure you were not talking about me!

I know my luscious long brown (or used to be) hair can be confusing, but......
