thoughts?

I think it would be better with one voice, rather than a lot. It's kinda distracting with all those voices, but that's just me.

Esp. the first sentence, it doesn't form a sentence, so I think most viewers (and me) would be like "huh?" and get confused and stuff.

I liked the morphing of many faces into one - Ron Paul. But agree the audio seemed liked there were too many voices at once.

I thought the sound was fine.

I liked the multiple voices. Only problem...

Too many kids. You want deep resonating male voices, and tender but firm females.

I like the original version MUCH better than the new one with all the voices. All this one needed, IMO, was maybe a professional with a deeper voice reading the script.

in my opinion it would be best to get rid of the kids' voices

I liked the script. If you could coordinate the voices a little better without so much overlap, I think it would be much better. People love hearing kids voices, and after all, it's really our kids future we're fighting for. The child's voice is a nice subtle reminder of that.

Pretty good.

I figured I'd at least try the multiple voices before going to a pro VO. Our local Meetup members stepped up and offered their voices and graciously let me record them. The multiple voices tie in with the many faces of the mosaic. I think it works, but I've also listened to it a hundred times while editing the voices.

People love little kid voices, they're non-threatening, and figure most mainline "super voters" probably have kids themselves.

I do have a pro VO guy set up but it will cost $100 or so and take a couple days. I can also make various versions of the commercial available with different VO tracks if people like one over the other. Whatever works for me.

There are other ads in the works (Lord Xar, etc) so people can air whatever they like best.

If you're going to use multiple voices, I suggest using complete phrases or sentences before changing them, and not to morph them. That would be effective if you could see the people talking, but with just the audio, it makes me dizzy.

I'll Do The VO For Free

PM me and we can talk on the phone so you can hear my voice.


I can hear that you fixed the erroneous historical date reference and removed the inappropriate "and", but there is one more error:

Who would America’s founding fathers elect today to restore what they fought and died for over two centuries ago?

It should be "Whom would America’s founding fathers elect...".

Several voices is a great idea, dont give it up, just work out the kinks.

I wouldnt have them talk at the same time until the end when they say "Ron Paul"

Good joB!!

 

[Richandler]

Just to put my word in. A good room and mic make a world of difference!

 

[wolv275]

agreed on too many kids, after all they cant vote =/

I know. Unfortunately I don't have a great mic. However, I did run the voices through EQ, a VO compressor, and a stereo spread. It kinda covers up the imperfections, and the music hides it more.

For any future ads I might do, I will definitely get a hold of a better mic!

I liked it.

1. A little too busy with too many voices at the beginning. Almost like an echo chamber.
2. A little too many kids voices. Maybe just fewer would work better. A sprinkling would be more effective than a large dose.
3. BUT I definitely had a chill down my spine about 3/4 of the way through.

VERY NICE. Just work out the kinks.

Or think for themselves. Just try asking an eight year old what he thinks about monetary policy.
