Sound Check

As a kid i used to plug in the mic on the pc and do some crazy sound recordings, practicing for my dialouges, or poems , or some stuff. Then the mic broke, and things moved on and i completly forgot about it.

Yesterday got a call from one of the spiritual guides to come down to a studio for a voice test. And i went, without another thought.
It was a script in hindi ofcourse and a serious one too. Hehehehe that cought me frozen for a while but then i knew i could do it. It was a gr8 experience, to sit in that sound proof room with the headphone on and the mic, i collapsed in the comfy chair, put the script on the wooden stand in front of me, tilted the mike to the right, so that i didnt have to look down at the script. And roll!

The first cut was kinda flat, but the guys said i sounded pretty cool. yea yea...there were only trying to make me feel better. So me took a 5 min break and thought lets see what;s in it. 2nd take and they froze it! They said that would do as the final take.

Later we broke for coffee and kurkures and everyone started telling their stories. What they did and how they got into the business. Me too told about my marketing and the job and the big brand company ( first professional interaction - where i felt good about what i do) and the question came back "So how'd u get in to voice overs?"

I smiled, for a moment i paused to let the momment make me happy, sometimes it feels good to be complimented, so they thought i was a good at what i just tried for the first time...
Ah...seems like i have found something i wanted to always try and had forgotten about....

So...wuts say....Check check check....sound check?
