A program was having a voice over contest. What they did was, created a video without sound. The contestants had to put their own voice in to the video.

And I WON!

It was actually kind of hard to do but fun. I was afraid my voice may not sound good enough.

I'm so thrilled about that I just had to tell somebody.

I won! I won! I won!

You mentioned that recently, I'm so happy for you that you won!!

Ohh....a star is born!!!! Congratulations.

I did? I guess I did.

Yes you did. You were wondering if you had a chance because of your southern accent. But they must have loved it!

Well that sure sounds like something I would say so no doubt, I said it.

Ya ever see that video of the elderly woman that gets nothing done because she continuously forgets what she's doing?
Hmmmm seems like I posted that video here once. I think I am getting like her.

What was the prize?

Congrats Val.... What was the prize and what will they do with the voice over? What was the voice over for? Like a cartoon ect ect?

I know I know! She said what the prize was but I'll let her tell you.

It was not much, $30.00.

The video is for a free to earn program online. It's been online several years.
They wanted a video voice over to introduce new people to how the program works, how much they can earn, etc.

They also wrote the script for the voice over. What contestants had to do, was record the script in sequence with the video. They also had to have a good voice to do it. I suppose the owners of the program, do not have a voice they felt was worthy for the video. So they ran a contest.

I don't have a deep southern voice. I was born and grew up by Chicago. However, most my life has been in the south. When I go up north, people know I am from the south. In the south, people know I am from the north. I have sort of what you would call, a broken northern/southern accent.

a broken northern/southern accent......

$30.00 is alot to me... That is so cool!!! Well Done....
