On a Someday, by Roxanne Henke--from PulsePoint Design
How many movies have you wanted to watch just because the movie trailer was so compelling? Movie trailers have long been a strategic way of selling a film.
Well, now book publishers are realizing the potential, especially with so many people viewing videos online.
As a voice-over artist, I've wanted to get into voicing book trailers for quite some time. The first book trailers I noticed weren't that great, to be honest. They often came off as amateurish, with jarring music and poor production values. And most of them didn't include voice narration--you were just expected to read the words on the screen.
However, when I saw the trailer for BJ Hoff's Song of Erin, I was blown away by just how beautiful and effective a book trailer could be. The trailer--as well as the one for BJ Hoff's new book, Rachel's Secret--was put together by a wonderful company called PulsePoint Design.
Now I'm delighted to have voiced a trailer for PulsePoint. Check it out:

Books! I read books!!!
I sped through Brandilyn Collins' Dark Pursuit over the weekend. Unputdownable? Uh, yeah...I was up till 2:30 in the morning reading it! More on that book later...
And now I'm reading Jeffrey Overstreet's Cyndere's Midnight, the follow-up to his Auralia's Colors (I blogged about my interview with Jeffrey here.) More on that one later too.
So many books, so little time! Happy Monday, everyone...
Cin,
ReplyDeleteAs I've always said, you have the finest female voice in broadcasting I've ever heard. Your trailer VO was tremendous. I hope that you can get "even" more VO's to do. Some could say I'm biased because we have a longtime friendship. Well, sure I am biased, but with that aside, you have an amazing talent.
All the best,
Randy
