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.
Recently, I had the opportunity to voice for 3HK new broadband service. I like these commercials as they have a solid hook and are shot very nicely.
Thanks for listening 
Russell testing the Coles 4104
Hey all,
Since I first read about the Coles 4104 microphone I wanted to try one. I thought it would be great to have a microphone that I could use to make demos anywhere / without the need to battle background noise. So the other day I went down to Jolly Pro Audio here in Hong Kong and they happened to have one! They very generously allowed me to test it out and make a demo – which I have posted here.
As this is a ribbon microphone we kept the phantom power off. Then the salesman, Chenly, set the gain way high – and I recorded this in a standard office environment. Behind me were people in cubicles, typing away. A big air-con blew cold air frantically down on me while I made this demo. I have kept the lead in this recording purposly long so you can hear the room before I spoke. The text I read is from a manual left open on Chenly’s desk and the clip is as recorded off a Marantz field recorder they had laying around.

Hope you find the clip useful.
