    Default Well, Hello!

    I'm Stu Gray - I help businesses tell their stories - with my voice, thru copywriting, or with audio production! I'm based in Middle Tennessee, right outside of Nashville.

    I started my business fulltime in February of last year (after doing it part time for several years while in Radio)...and am loving it!

    I'm looking forward to meeting you and learning from other business owners and entrepreneurs!

    Welcome to our friendly corner of the Internet universe. I used to sub for a video production company so I have a pretty good idea how much work can go into an audio production. I remember hearing a narrator working in the next room and how many different "takes" they would record to try to get the perfect result.

    @cbscreative - Thank you for the warm welcome. I am enjoying looking around. Thats the fun work of voiceover. Matching the VO to the 'sound' the producer or engineer is looking for!

    In years past I thought of doing voice over work. I'm pretty good at impressions and and changing how my voice sounds (within limits of course). I always thought I could do well doing voice overs. Alas it wasn't meant to be.

    Welcome Stu. I've done voiceover work for commercials and I do all the audio for the videos our companies make. I know it can be hard work.

    We're glad you've decided to join us. It's always fun to add another perspective to the mix.

    I never considered doing voice work. Its not my market.

    Or maybe.... Nah, its not for me. I coudlnt sit doing 10 retakes of the same phrase.

    I have thought about being an actor though.

    With technology being the way it is now, 10, and even 5, years ago, there were not as many people doing "voiceover work" because we all had to drive to studios where they had the pro gear...but today - many are hopping in and trying their chops because the tech is so good and easy to acquire for yourself!

    @KirstineS thanks for the welcome Kristine!
