Drop the mic!

Ah, chocolate, chocolate…

I love chocolate. Simple chocolate, milk chocolate, lighter, darker chocolate, chocolate with liqueur, chocolate with nuts… I’m nuts about it… 

(These ellipsis served me to take a look at what I had in the fridge).

Some time ago, a client asked me for a very energetic voice-over and I thought “perfect, I’m going to eat chocolate before I go into the recording booth!”. 

Fatal error! What did I do!? 

I started salivating so much, so so much, it took me years to record. (Where’s a dental suction device when we need one?)

The voice-over ended up having lots of clicks, nhecs and pops, which I still tried to remove in post-production, without much success. I gave up.

Fortunately, there was a good movie on television. It was perfect to spend some time, normalize the mouth humidity, and then do the work all over again.

Yes, I almost made a greater mistake with sweet popcorn…
