Hello again, THis month I have had my nose to the proverbial grindstone directing the English Dub of a fun cartoon series called Dragon Snooker. We translated the series from Chinese to English and then voiced the fun timing scripts written by Mike Quinn.
It was a very tight schedule and we managed to record all 26 episodes inside of 5 weeks! Thanks to everyone involved in the project for their hard work, great acting, and patience.
Hi there – I thought I’d share a new TVC I recently voiced. Enjoy :-)
A big thank you to Thomas who cast me in his commercial and gave me the chance to work together with him once more.
So I’ve been in the market for a new VO mic and today I got the opportunity to have a microphone shootout between my new Sennheiser MK4 and the Brauner workhorse we have in the studio. Wow. I was surprised to hear the MK4 hold it’s own in the ring with the Brauner VM1.
Chris Fish from DMT Audio in HK was kind enough to come by the studio today and we worked out a fun little shootout between these two sweet microphones. We ran them through a Great River mic pre and recorded the below test simultaneously so we could really compare them.
I found that the Brauner had some cool stuff going on in the high range and a nice crisp top end while the MK4 sounds more “rounded” to me. While the difference between the mics is subtle you can really hear it. Have listen below.

We spent the weekend dubbing a vertical slice of a Chinese animated series called Dragon Snooker. It looks like it’s going to be really fun – the actors, writers, and translators are all very talented. Which made for great scripts and an enjoyable Saturday working with awesome actors. If I can I’ll put a clip of our next studio session up for everyone to enjoy. :-)
