| Travis Turk - Rough Run narrator |
When your goal is to put together a show that has the look and feel of anything on broadcast TV, it's important that you do not skimp when it comes to the quality of certain areas. One of those areas that you absolutely do not want to shortchange is your narrator and we have one of the best, Travis Turk.
If you couldn't tell from his voice, Travis does not have to fake the southern accent we need for this program. Travis works out of Old Hickory, Tennessee. Anybody from a place called Old Hickory, Tennessee can't be all bad so we consider ourselves lucky to have Travis on board the show.
Check out Travis' website at www.travisturk.com and take a listen to all of the projects he has been a part of and you might not be surprised if you had heard Travis on TV somewhere else.
One of the joys of the internet age is that we can write a script, email it to Travis, and a day later a wonderful, magical audio file will arrive the next day with perfectly golden tones of a real voice man.
Here's a fun exercise. When we edit our shows together, your humble producer Jeff (not Davis, the other one) will record his own voice to fill-in the spaces, this is called a "scratch track". The purpose of the scratch track is to get the verbiage just right before we email the script to Travis. That way, we can noodle with the words until they are just right before we send them out. Listen to the difference between amateur audio and real voice work:
