| The Velvet Voicebox |
I've been asked a few times to explain the "Velvet Voicebox" tag that I have. Para himself was so gracious to bestow that to me after I posted up a little 15 second video intro to the forum. Years ago I did voiceover work while living on the east coast. I did...Ok.  For awhile I had two, sometimes 3 gigs lined up every week. Had fun, made a good amount of money, met some great people, and some assholes. Anyway, one day I had just finished a recording at my home studio, and came up with the idea to do something for the forum. I put this together in about 30 minutes just for fun. Sent it to Para. I said that this entro can never be used in public because of royalty issues with the background music. He was good with it. It was a big hit with the membership at the time. From that day on because of Para I was the Velvet Voicebox. I stopped doing VO work because of politics. Long story short, I turned down gigs because I didn't believe in the political bent of the clients. Hope this sounds as good now as it did years ago..

My thanks Cliff! I recently pulled your chain about wanting to know the origin of the "velvet voicebox" in the Unchained Melody thread (Lair). You do indeed have a velvet voice!  That was recorded in 2012... no idea how I missed it.  Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

Whoa ! How much to record my outgoing voicemail message ? Maybe a technophile among us with the skills can separate out the music from the spoken on that. | |||

That's fantastic, Cliff. I appreciate the backstory. I was always curious about your voiceovers. Good stuff.
