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/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??

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! :) )

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...)
