I know this isn't technically Moto Related, but it's a voice we all know......
So, some of you guys may remember the voice mail greeting and text message notifications that I posted up last year where I had David, the guy who does the Supercross intro set it up for me.
Well, I figured hiring him to do an intro for the team my son plays on could be fun.
Let me know what ya think. I know the audio at the beginning is rough, that's my fault and I'm going to clean it up the best that I can. He's only responsible for the last 30 seconds or so. I figured this would be a good way to get the fans fired up before the team comes out the field house......the team will be running on the field to Eye of the Tiger that the band plays....I know I know, very original for a team called the Tigers....I hate it too, but it's their tradition.
I can never get videos to embed.

To embed go to share then hit embed and copy/paste the code that shows up.
I emailed David last year and asked him if he would do some voice mail greetings and text message stuff for my son and I and he did for a very reasonable fee. We chatted about other things too, and he is a very friendly guy.
This year, I thought I would ask him if he would be interested in putting together something for my son's football team and he readily agreed. I'm not going to tell you what he charged me, but suffice it to say it was more than reasonable and a fraction of what I was willing to pay.
Here is the voicemail greeting: I know he charged me $25 or so to do this last year......
Voice Mail
He also did one without the "$10 Bucks" thing at the end, but I left it on there for a while because I hate when people leave me voicemails. I only replaced it when my grandfather got confused......lol
You can contact him at:

Just tell him you saw it here.....he's very friendly.
The Shop
It's honestly an interesting fact to know because I always thought it was a voice altercation machine that did it. Had no idea if was a real guy.
Skip,
I asked him if that was his real voice and he said that he uses a compression and other effects to achieve "The Sound," but for the most part it's his voice. The guy who produces the introduction videos chimed in on Thumpertalk and said he speaks to Dave on the phone on a regular basis and that is indeed his real voice.
UK,
I used a set of high quality speakers and my speakerphone to record the audio to my voice mail. It turned out pretty good, much better than I was expecting.
I am looking forward to moving on to something else for supercross intros though. It's very "gimmicky" and monster truckish.
Supercross is all about the "show." IMO.
UK,
You need a male to male 3.5mm cable to connect your droid to your computers MIC OUT. go to set up voicemail greeting on your droid and just before it says after the beep to record your message plug into your droid headphone jack. make sure you all ready have the 3.5mm connected to your computers mic out. Listen a few times to time when it beeps to avoid any possible static when connecting.
play the mp3. then press # when mp3 stops or whenever. Message recorded. I was too lazy to do that.
Anyway... doing something lke this for your kid is really cool. Bet he is stoked!
I figured I would catch the coach after practice next week, (he's also the Athletic Director) and let him hear it first. It's something that, in my opinion, wouldn't sound so great as a concept as it would by having the finished product. If they don't use it (which I can't imagine) then it was a fun thing to do anyway and a minimal loss of money.
It's a very very small town and there really is nothing to do there except go to high school football games.
I've taken many first timers to a Supercross before, and I do enjoy the opening ceremonies. Even if they aren't into MX/SX, I would have a hard time explaining how great the opening sequences are, but usually, that is the thing most of them have liked the most.
I have no idea. I've never even touched an iPad.
But yes, he does it up and send you the greeting as an MP3.
Pit Row
That guy's voice is awesome!
I was bummed.

JKKT,
We're doing well. Hope the same for you guys. I was looking Max up on the Loretta results every day but I could never find out what happened.
Dude has a gnarly voice.
Wouldn't it be funny if he was a scrawny little old dude?
