Here is the actual recording… How is my accent?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound recording london

Ok, so here it is. I recorded me speaking with my London accent, and lets just hope that the link worked this time!
I have been working on the accent for about 3 years. I want your honest opinions on how I can improve on it and make it sound more authentic. Please listen and tell me what you think. All I want is opinions on how to improve the accent. Do you think it is a decent attempt at a London accent, or is it absolutely beastly? Please give your honest opinion. I just need to know how to improve on the accent. Thank you for all your help! Cheers!

Ok, well IDK how I really learned. I watch Monty Python a lot, and I love Harry Potter and that sort of thing, but IDK. I have a few British relatives and friends, but it seems like the accent was just always there in the back of my head…. I wouldn't know how to teach it. Try talking with dark vowels. And try to concentrate the sound of your voice more toward the front of your mouth and lips, rather than how you speak "American" now with the sound in the middle of your mouth. Does that make any sence whatsoever?

well i'm not british, but many of my friends are. The accent I think doesn't sound like you lived there. But it doesn't sound like you are learning. It sounds like you have an accent and you are trying to hide it, but doing a pretty bad job, whinch is good, considering it is the opposite way around.
It's better than mine :P

BTW I love your vocabulary!!

What Record Studio Would You Recommend For Death Metal Music?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound engineer london

Right, i'm looking for a recording studio to record at with my death metal band, we live in London and travelling dead far would be a problem but may be manageable. Anyway, we're looking for a studio that's relatively cheap £250-300/8 hour day and that has good sound engineers who can capture our music well. (We're not only going to record for a day by the way if you assumed)

Any ideas?

Dude do what Sabeth did, record it yourself. Thats exactly what they did, and the album started a revoltion called HEAVY METAL!!!!!!

Does anyone on this great forum wishes to be involve in a debut low budget feature film?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound engineer london

I am planning to shoot debut low budget feature film in London in the summer of 2007 and am in need of the following. Can anyone help?
1 Scriptwriter.
1 Producer.
2 Camera operators.
1 Sound engineer.
1 Lighting director.
1 Production designer.
1 Costume designer.
1 Editor.
1 Production co-ordinator.
10 Production assistants.

The cast will be assembled at a later date prior to production.

I honestly believe that out there are individuals who are positive and committed enough for this project to work and as such I believe in the power of the internet to attract us all together.

Thanx.
I would even welcome with open arms those with low attention spans as at least they can make the tea and sandwiches, so you see everyone can play a part and will feel welcomed.
I have also made the decision that all those who are interested can email me through this forum.
We all are in need of love.

Not with that grammer I don't.

On the London Underground, what does the announcement "Inspector Sams report to the control room" mean?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound recording london

sounds like a coded message, and is pre-recorded and repeated about six times in a row. Needs a reference..

Yeah it's inspector sands, and its code for a fire alarm going off somewhere that needs to be checked.

I was at St Pancras last year and they were playing it over and over to test the new station, and because of the Eurostar they'd recorded it in English and French which was kind of weird…

Ableton and Reason software – know of any tutors/ teachers/ courses in London?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound engineer london

Recently got the software and need to know if there are any studios, sound engineers or colleges that do evening and weekend courses in London (preferably south)?

Firstly, can i just say… wicked job mate! Ableton is an amazing piece of software! I use it on stage with me all the time and I can't fault it.

The london school of sound does courses on both. They do the official certification.

Have a look at that. You'll need to search on the same site for the Reason course.

Good luck and happy playing!!!
