Voice for a screencast (English)?
« on: October 25, 2011, 04:27:56 pm »
Hi everyone,

we have prepared a 2-min screencast on Zentyal installation and all we are missing is a nice voice that could read the script. Written communication in the forum hides the fact that none at Zentyal team is a native English-speaker, so our voice in the screencast would show an awkward accent.

Is there any native English-speaker here who could spend some time reading and recording the script we have prepared?

Thanks in advance :)
CEO at Zentyal

I think American accent would be perfect Sam :)

I'm sending you a private message with some instructions on how to do the recording,

Thank you!

I don't know how far you have come with the Scandinavian audience, but if needed, I speak native Swedish. Y también Español. A good place as any to mention it. (Yeah, I know, throw me a cookie ;) )

Seriously, ebox/Zenyal has played nice with us, I would gladly invest some time for you guys.

Sam!  Wow,  I guess that my mental image of who you were (and thus what you would sound like)  was way off.   Good job sir.  Christian,  I was much closer on yours.   Also a very good job sir.
