The first #voiceover EVER was done by a woman in 1888!

AND it was done in New Jersey. Tee hee. Read it and weep, boys.

Amplify’d from www.sfgate.com

(07-14) 09:20 PDT Trenton, N.J. (AP) --

Scientists believe a 123-year-old recording made by Thomas Edison was the first attempt at a talking doll and possibly the oldest surviving commercial recording.

A woman's voice can be heard singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."

Edison hired the woman and made the recording in 1888 in West Orange, N.J., less than two years before he unsuccessfully put the doll on the market.

The recording showed up in Edison's Menlo Park museum collection in 1967. But the small piece of ring-shaped tin was so bent and damaged that scientists couldn't play.

A laboratory in California used advanced imaging technology in May to reproduce the audio on a computer.

Scientists believe it's the first known instance of someone being hired to perform for a recording. Read more at www.sfgate.com

Why celebrity voices are GOOD for VO

http://networkedblogs.com/fxhIJ

It's long been a debate in the voice over world, that the celebrities that are being hired to voice animation films take work away from the VO community. I've personally never thought this, but here are some great VO talent (Pat Fraley, Kevin Delaney, Kat Cressida, MJ Lallo, Crispin Freeman) that explain why.

Rescue efforts: hope in Japan

I clipped this from an Australian newspaper article....trying to find some good in this awful disaster.

Amplify’d from stephenbishop.amplify.com

Although Japan's soldiers have found death on a large scale, hope was pulled from the rubble yesterday.

A baby girl was found in Ishinomaki, a coastal town northeast of Sendai smashed by the tsunami.

Members of the Japanese Self Defence Force marvelled at the four-month-old's survival, wrapping her in a pink jacket and transporting her to safety.

Japan already committed 100,000 troops - about 40 percent of its armed forces - to spearhead the mammoth rescue and recovery effort, with hundreds of ships, aircraft and vehicles headed to the Pacific coastal area.

Emergency workers have so far rescued 15,000 survivors.

5000 Years Old Mummy Reconstructed

Many of you probably don't know this, but my second love is anthropology/paleontology/geology/archaeology. Basically, I Iove old stuff. I thought this was fascinating!

Amplify’d from www.cbsnews.com

5,000 years later, the ice man gets a face

A hunter who died a violent death in the Italian Alps more than 5,000 years ago became a bit more recognizable to modern-day humans. "Oetzi," whose mummified remains were discovered in 1991, finally has a face.

He's not exactly Cary Grant, but let's give the guy a break. During his lifetime - he lived to 45 or 46 - Oetzi faced a world that was nasty and brutish. Whoever he was, Otezi died a violent death. A flint arrowhead had penetrated his skin and researchers say that the arrow cut a major blood vessel in the man's left arm. That led to heavy bleeding and possibly paralysis of the arm. The body also showed evidence of a deep hand wound as well as several abrasions and bruises.

When the mummified remains were discovered, the body was in relatively good shape - it had been preserved under ice for all that time - except for the face. The reconstruction work by a couple of Dutch artists made use of 3-D and forensics technology to carry out the project gives Oetzi an identity after all these years.

The new exhibit is going on display at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the mummy's discovery. Read more at www.cbsnews.com

Today's VO challenge: metadata database

Turned over a new leaf today....voiced before noon! haha

Amazing start to the new year. Celebrated with friends old and new! Went to my friend Lois' on New Year's Eve, some wine (ok, lots of wine), some Yukon Jack, champagne, and finished things off with Liquor 43 later in the night. Lois lives across from a lake, she invited the neighbors that lived across the street from her who have lake property (great idea!) So we all bundled up and walked across the road and down to the lake just before midnight. Walked out onto the frozen lake, and lit up the starlit sky with some fireworks! With drinks carefully still in hand, we managed to make some snow angels on the ice, lol. Headed back up to the house, finally retired around 4am. Slept until 10:30 the next morning and continued the fellowship with french toast and bacon......and lots of coffee of course! We all spent most of New Year's day in our jammies listening to music and chatting. Just amazing! Anyone else want to share? http://amplify.com/u/k8y7
