Today we recorded jamie's voice over. After speaking to the boys we knew we had to get jamie's voice over to be less than 30 seconds due to the timing for our live piece being 2 minutes. Therefore we had proof read it individually and found it to be a difficult one and he may need to speak faster than we wanted. We decided to split up the voice over into 3 sections. After a few takes at each section we had it at around 30 seconds so with the pauses and extra bits taken out we felt that chris would be able to cut together a nice piece that wasn't too pacey. We wanted the last section to be a little more fun so let jamie do a few takes to make it his own and felt that he delivered a really great voice over that suited the piece perfectly.
Overall I found the day a simple day without any problems. It was nice to be able to have a fairly relaxing session and get all our jobs done. As long as our supporting footage is strong we will have a really good live piece for digital news.
I have learnt it is good to have a script and be flexible with it and a script supervisor is a really important role as on set you are able to quickly change any lines or words that an actor/journalist/Voice over artist is struggling with. I wouldn't recommend working with someone who would have to send in a voice over away from you as this could potentially cause problems.
As nothing went wrong there isn't anything i would do differently. We were on time and even managed a spot of team lunch.
Stay safe,
Helen
