You can’t argue with stack of pirates and a Billy Ocean.⁣ ⁣

My 5 year old son calls this my circus hat.⁣ ⁣ Probably quite apt for the mum bum I quickly shove in when my day is a bit too doot doot doodle oodle oot doot do do for a hairstyle.⁣ ⁣ Also v apt for tonight’s voice over session where I got to play a ringmaster.⁣ ⁣ Man, that shiz is hard on the old vocal cords. I totally get why Danny DeVito was so cranky in Dumbo.⁣ ⁣ Someone chuck me a Strepsil pls...⁣ ⁣

Face masks used to incite a double take and bucket load of questions from me.⁣ ⁣ Did this person just remove an appendix and forget to take their mask off before leaving the ER?⁣ ⁣ Is this a new diet where you lose weight because you can’t shove anything into your mouth?⁣ ⁣ Was this person shammed after excitedly regaling their weekend adventures and a little spittle flew out of their mouth and landed on Greg from accounts’ cheek?⁣ ⁣ And is that elastic digging in worse than that time my mum added a minuscule length of hat elastic to my legionnaires hat so it wouldn’t end up at the foot of a cliff at Camp Birrigai?⁣ ⁣ Wonder no more me. I’ve become a face mask convert. When you rely on your voice for a living and are faced with shit air quality and people sharing the contents of their sneezes, it’s time to stock up on a range of masks. ⁣ ⁣ From cute little ‘no thanks, I don’t want your sniffle’ masks to industrial grade ‘the air quality is on par with smoking a 40 pack of Longbeach 16 mg’ masks.⁣ ⁣ ⁣

⁣ Client: fintech company⁣ Project: explainer video⁣ Style: eloquent, professional conversational ⁣ ⁣ You had me at blockchain. Actually that’s a lie. You didn’t at all. I have NFI what a blockchain is.⁣ ⁣ But I can deliver a voice over with just the right amount of eloquence to make those that need some blockchain-y-ness in their life listen up.⁣ ⁣ Thanks to this easy to understand script, I do know the old BC can make it easier to get paid. And that’s always a good thing right?⁣ ⁣ 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘕𝘍𝘐. 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘱 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘧 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶.⁣ ⁣

This little stunner is the RØDE VideoMic Me-L. ⁣ ⁣ It’s a directional condenser mic that you shove into your iPhone or iPad lightning port.⁣ ⁣ It’s as rugged as a Hemsworth. And it comes with a windshield the size of a small cat.⁣ ⁣ They’ve also chucked in a protective rubber mount cause damaged phone ain’t cute.⁣ ⁣ Once you’ve whacked it in, the Me-L becomes the default mic for all of your existing recording and video apps. No need to fork out for specific apps. ⁣ ⁣ That said, if you don’t like to mix brands, RØDE has some nice recording apps.⁣ ⁣ And around the back, the Me-L has a 3.5mm headphone jack. Cause nostalgia. Not really. It’s so you can monitor your recordings. Handy.⁣ ⁣ ➡️ swipe across for RØDE v built in iPhone mic. ⁣ ⁣

I’ve pinned this on with pride and i’m smug AF.⁣ ⁣ You’re currently looking at the denim of someone who perfectly synced their voice to existing vision for not 1, but 2 TVCs. ⁣ ⁣ And all within a stupidily crazy deadline.⁣ ⁣ Pressure makes diamonds as they say. Plus a bucketload of sweat. Glad you can’t see the pits of this denim RN...⁣ ⁣

𝘈𝘯 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴:⁣ ⁣ Dear Tinkerer,⁣ ⁣ While I’m curious as to what end product necessitates five hours on the circular saw, it’d be great if you could tools down for five mins so I can belt out a couple of phone prompts. ⁣ ⁣ Unfortunately today’s script isn’t calling for any Milwaukee ambience.⁣ ⁣ K thanks,⁣ ⁣ Mel⁣ ⁣

Headphones don’t have to be butt ugly.⁣ ⁣ Case in point—these babies from Frends.⁣ ⁣ Wireless cause the future.⁣ ⁣ Leather detailing. Mmm smells like success.⁣ ⁣ Memory foam ear cushions cause regular forgetful foam just doesn’t cut it in 2020.⁣ ⁣ Collapsible so you can shove them in your stupidly small handbag.⁣ ⁣ Oh, and you can hear stuff.⁣ ⁣
