ns8401 846 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I'm wondering who the women is who does the VO in this commercial for the WXYZ app: I know the first part of the ad is Rich Van Slyke and WXYZ has started using Sonny Warner again as well. With this mystery women that makes 3 VO's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanewsguy 509 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I don't know but her copy was not very well written. "Download it, I know you'll love it." I don't even know who you are so I probably shouldn't trust your recommendation. Also the quality wasn't great. I could hear the dog barking more than the VO. Yes I heard the copy but not well enough to tell who it is. Now that I think about it, Rich Van Slyke's copy was also crappily written. "Way more video"? Really? Sounds like a Kindergartner would write that. In any case she's not that great. Almost like they found her off the street and handed her a script and said, "read this."

That was actually the music, it was techno-ish with a really heavy beat. I could hear everything fine when I turned it up. I wish I knew how to actually put the real feed online, how did you get a dog out of that? I have heard lots of dogs, none of them sounded like bad techno music. As for her copy... They used her in their auto show ads and at one point she's talking about how the "cars are stars" which was the name of a special they ran and she said "the glitz, the glamour, the cars, oh yeah" like a porn star so let's just say it was made at a low point when they were in between CSD's. They really should stick to hard news, the attempt to become WJBK and take all the 18-49's and 25-54's is a miserable failure. It was better as a serious themed O&O style station. Edit: I changed the video so it was clearer, this is when they were giving away a Jeep for their old app, the guy who won the Jeep had it stolen. They also use this lady for their 6pm news feature promos alternating with Van Slyke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanewsguy 509 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 OK now that you posted the better quality video it sounds like the same VO Clear Channel likes to use on some of their radio stations. I don't know her name though. Examples: #1, #2, , #4 There's also a slight chance it could be this VO but I don't think so, it's probably the first one. I don't know any name for this one either. Examples: , Neither have a distinctive voice where you can tell them apart, like say Charlie Van Dyke or Bill Ratner where you hear their voice and you know it's them. Hope this helps.

I wish I knew how to actually put the real feed online, how did you get a dog out of that? I have heard lots of dogs, none of them sounded like bad techno music. So you don't think the loud "woof" sound at 13 seconds is a dog? Sounds like a dog to me... Also, to get the feed online, buy a TV tuner. $50. As for her copy... They used her in their auto show ads and at one point she's talking about how the "cars are stars" which was the name of a special they ran and she said "the glitz, the glamour, the cars, oh yeah" like a porn star so let's just say it was made at a low point when they were in between CSD's. Oh I wish I could see that promo. As for sounding like porn stars listen to the second VO clip #1.... Ugh that was difficult to listen to. Sorry for saying that but I can't say anything about that VO other than that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a dog since I don't have one. That's my video. It's actually a plate banging on the counter in the kitchen which is about 20 feet away. The TV was at 3/4 volume too. Mind you my iphone has a blown microphone and I use my earbuds as a mic. They really work quite well for what they are. I hope you put it in 720p, it starts In 360p as every other thing on YouTube seems to. Maybe there's a way to change that fact. But if you did not modify the definition to HD then yes it wouldn't be at all clear. In 720 it's actually pretty good for a recording of a recording with an earbud mic. I'll upgrade when I have a spare $50, nothing beats the real thing obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first auto show promo debuted this evening in all it's sexed up VO glory: Yes they will get much worse as they promote the various events that they will cover in January.
