African Voice Needed

bigmouthmedia · 03-11-2009, 01:50 AM

Hi there....

A major current affairs show here in Australia contacted me today, looking for an African person to provide a voice over (and possibly a translation). As I'm pretty Aussie and can't pull off the accent without sounding like a cartoon character....

CAN YOU HELP ?

It's only tentative at the moment, the reporter is checking with a few agencies closer to him, but if I can come back to him with an offer and a voice, it could be worthwhile !

Let me know.

Just wondering... ('cuz Africa's a big place) - what type of accent are they looking for?

I've done Afrikaans (Dutch/British) for Exxon training videos, and also more of a South African village dialect (40's/Black) for some Microsoft industrials.

PM me if you have a bit of copy and would like samples...

p.s. I'm no help with the translation part... or if the dialog is in an actual African language (click click..)

They actually haven't specified which dialect, it was very much an initial enquiry....if they come back tearing their hair out, I'll let you know - always good to have a network !
