Giving Voice to Spring & Summer

Who said voice-over artists had no stress?
O.K. I admit it. I'm powerful. Today I went out to my studio to do a voice-over. (A voice over is the melodic voice you hear of a narrator in the background of a commercial on radio & TV, the voice behind your book trailer, and the cartoon voice of your favorite animation!). I found I had the power to change the world from a quiet place to a very loud one by just turning on the preamp and beautiful mic that are a part of my profession.
My studio is located in a historic smokehouse and it's relatively sound-proof. Well at least I thought.
The birds residing in its chimney had a different thought. Apparently, there's a huge nest of VERY HUNGRY babies, who take to their own clever voice overs about every 1 1/2 hours like clock work.
I'm too softhearted to remove them. You guessed it. I'm recording right now between peeps and in the evening.
But not to fear. I have their schedule down pat. The voice-overs retain their professional sound. The birds retain their nest for a few more weeks.
Who said voice-over artists had it easy? Bird-stess. BS for short. It's an occupational hazard I suppose.
