Name Drops

The few that I have I purchased through yourremix.com (which I think is closed down) but you can still get them at their sister site http://www.yourdjdrops.com. The voice is very generic (although they do put your name in the drops) and so are the drops…for more money you can have them do custom drops as well where you write what you want them to say. They are good to have around for marking you mixes (better than pissing on them that’s for sure) and occasionally playing live for opening a show.

I originally went to Mitch Craig for my drops, mainly because he was that classic voice you would hear all over the old WBMX and B96 mixes back in the late 80s and into the early 90s. Click here to listen to a demo reel from Mitch.

Most of the time though I’d simply record people saying lines I wrote and then coach them on how to say it. I’d love to get drops that sound like Leona Graham, that BBC Radio 1 voice. Only downer is she’s very expensive. 🙁

Hey Emma…do you sound like Leona?

Unfortunately I think I would be even More Expensive that Leona Graham as you now Recognise 🙁

As a Short Aside; with all the Effects Available to us in our DAWS; wouldn’t it be Possible to make Our Own Voices sound Amazing ?

Really? 🙁 How do you do your radio shows, if you don’t mind the query.. Is it just an intro and your set?

This is a pretty decent tool Phil and a goldmine for the unboxed thinker.. I was toying around with it and realised that you can not only get it to do drops but vocal samples that you can use in productions 🙂 (if it’s your thing) … recreated the vocal bit from The Tapedeck Bros.’ Dance Of The Dead that goes, “When the dead come to life… they will dance” 🙂
