blair’s blógado gigante

You may have already seen this on Vimeo, but I’ve posted a narrated “break down” of the remix I did for “The Way I Are”.

I’ll walk you through the ins and outs of the remix from within Adobe Audition 3, and talk in-depth about the technical and musical challenges and steps to creating a remix.

You can watch through the embedded player below, or catch the full HD version at Vimeo.  Enjoy!

Timbaland Remix Walkthrough & Breakdown from Blair Trosper on Vimeo.

A unique look at some of the time lapse footage I’ve captured this month, along with a look at the raw reels.  I narrate and explain the process used to convert the high resolution image sequences into HD footage, as well.

When you click play below, the embedded video will play back in HD.  If you’d rather see a larger version, follow the link to YouTube’s native video page from within the video itself.  Enjoy!

Huzzah!  In the world of radio, this is what we call a “voiceover demo”.  It’s a showcase reel of work you’ve done, as you try to pimp yourself out to more and more stations who will make more and more impossible demands of your vocal cords.

For $100 a month.  Usually more, but I’m not very good, obviously.

Yes, each of the voices you hear in this demonstration (except for the one appearance of a female) is me.  I do very little processing to my voice beyond basic compression…the styles and moods are all in how you speak and how you position your face.  No, I’m not kidding.  I have to hold my face a certain way to do the evil voice.  This is why you haven’t seen a YouTube video of a voiceover session.

You’ll probably pick up on the fact that I work with a lot of Internet-only stations.  I love those guys!  They usually give me much more interesting things to say than terrestrial radio stations.

Despite the howling winds outside (and their inherent distraction), I was able to get a track done in one sitting this morning.  As with most of my shorter pieces, it’s created with advertisements for TV/film in mind.

Feel free to have a listen and let me know what you think!  May do a breakdown or “talk through” on this one shortly, not sure.
