There is no way I can ever beat Neil Oliver. I had been up ill all night and wanted to try doing a commercial voice over in my natural voice [if a bit Americanised].
This is my first time doing anything that isn't in an American accent or a silly voice. I had no idea where to put this so I just put it in this section of the forum.

See, I always wanted to do a commercial reel but a) it would have to be in an American accent and b) people don't really think Scottish commercials sound...real. It has been said so this was me promoting whilst having a shot~

Who could beat Neil Oliver? Dude's 40+ and has been doing 'this' for @ least 9 years (not the whole story I am sure). We don't need another Oliver either :D

Don't just (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/echo%20chamber) listen to "people" about what's "real", it sounded fine. If anything it was girly. Considering you're just that, congratulations -_-

At any rate, that way you pronounced "Year of Creative" forced me to tune my ears a bit better. There is always someone who has a unique enough take on words that require me to pay more attention. It's a skill I miss honing...

The pride in your voice (especially when you say Scotland) should be spread out methinks. Other words need love too...
