Joseph lends his voice to Destination Wild: India. A National Geographic and Off the Fence production. Voice over for documentary projects can be a difficult process, one that requires a unique set of skills, that helps bring these magical stories to life. 

 

India's biodiverse landscapes range from vast deserts and dense forests to towering mountains, each contributing to the country's rich tapestry of life. The Himalayas, standing tall in the north, shelter rare and iconic species such as the elusive snow leopards and Himalayan brown bears. Among the dense canopies of the Western Ghats in the south, endangered lion-tailed macaques scour the trees for jackfruit. And lying in the heart of southern India, one of its largest protected woodlands harbours Indian elephants and Bengal tigers. Then finally transitioning to the west, the Thar Desert unfolds, challenging life to adapt to extreme arid conditions. Here, blackbuck antelope and Asiatic lions navigate the vast, sandy expanses in search of food. A tapestry of ecosystems, all within one country.

What makes a good Voice Reel?

At JBVO I have been in the voice reel game for 10 years and I've met so many incredible voiceover artists that have graced my studio with their incredible voiceover tones. But what makes a good voiceover reel? How can you make yours stand out from the crowd? Most artists first mistake is that they go to a sound studio. And work with only a sound technician. You NEED to have direction from someone who has lived VoiceOver. Someone who understands performance and the nuances of good voiceover performance. That has worked with advertising agencies and learnt the direction that is required to squeeze out great voiceover performances.

My Voice reels are designed to get every artist ready to sign with a voiceover agent. I work closely with a lot of voiceover agencies to listen and learn what they require their clients reels to sound like. I've done the hard work so you just have to turn up and start telling amazing stories. 

My MasterClass not only gets you perfect voice reels. It also gets you fully prepared to enter the voiceover industry straight away. We talk about voiceover scripts, voiceover performance, voiceover agents, recording studios, recording techniques, homes studios. Microphone techniques. Online websites like Bodalgo, Mandy, Voices, Voices 123 and many more. Are they worth it? What do you need to stand a chance on those websites. 

Love in 39 Degrees : Amazon Prime

For a week at Deluxe Studios I dubbed this Amazon Prime film 'Love in 39 Degrees'. Working with brilliant director Max Hoskins the audio master behind 'The Beach' & 'Dorian Gray'. Voice Dubbing is a tricky business, especially on a feature film like this playing the lead. There was a lot of text to get right . The lead actor Furkan Andıç put in a great performance so it made voicing and audio dubbing the project easy! In the voiceover world you occasionally get projects that remind you why you got into this business in the first place, and this was one of them. A seamless team of audio professionals having fun and creating magic. 

Dubbing (also known as re-recording and mixing) is a post-production process used in filmmaking and the video production process where supplementary recordings (known as doubles) are lip-synced and "mixed" with original production audio to create the final product.

Often this process is performed on films by replacing the original language to offer voiced-over translations. After sound editors edit and prepare all the necessary tracks—dialogue, automated dialogue replacement (ADR), effects, Foley, and music—the dubbing mixers proceed to balance all of the elements and record the finished soundtrack.

Love in 39 Degrees is available on Amazon Prime now! Just head to the audio section of the films menu settings and change the language to English.
