Description

This demo features me reading vintage advertisements that feature outdated and possibly dangerous medical advice. Strangely, it seemed like a fun way to showcase my voiceover skills for standard reads, advertising, business training and educational materials. The voiceovers are framed in a podcast format.

Hey, thanks for clicking on my bad medical choices Demo. I'm Rick Lilja grin and I wanted to give you a flavour of who I am is a voice over artist. I thought I would make it a little more interesting by using vintage product, as that advocates um, unfortunate solutions to medical problems. These ads show how far we've come in the last 150 years or so when it comes to medical knowledge and advice. This 1st 1 something that still comes up from time to time, which is mind boggling. I've used a straight read with some enthusiasm for it, but you'll have to judge for yourself if that makes it more or less creepy. Eat, eat, eat and always stay thin. Fat. The enemy that is shortening your life banished. No diet, no bats, no exercise. How with sanitized tapeworms, easy to swallow. No ill effects Prepared by W. T. Bridge Chemist, New York. Send no money particulars mailed free, sanitized tapeworms. Friends for a fair form. Wow, So that happened. The weird thing is that if you do an Internet search on tapeworm diet, you'll still find websites today that advocate ingesting tapeworms to be clear. This is not a good idea for my next demo. I pulled some questionable advertising done by the tobacco industry during the heyday of glamour smoking. I actually thought about doing this entire demo with the Onley tobacco ads, including the one selling cigarettes to pregnant women. But I didn't know if I could afford the water bill for the shower I would need to take after that. Here's an endorsement ad that is marginally less offensive red with a warm tone. The brand mentioned Camels is still sold today, although not in quite this way. Enjoy the read. He's one of the busiest Met in town, while his door may say office hours 2 to 4 is actually on call 24 hours a day. The doctor is a scientist, a diplomat and a friendly, sympathetic human being all in one, no matter how long and hard his schedule. And according to a recent nationwide survey, more doctors smoke camels than any other cigarette. If you are a camel smoker, this preference among doctors will hardly surprise you. If you're not well, try camels now. Camels cost their tobacco's well, there you go. It's almost unbelievable that people didn't live forever with that kind of medical advice, isn't it? For my final read, A. Wanted to do something with a different vice. Alcoholism is a serious problem, but the verb ege and methods used to address it a century ago were a little different. See if you can spot the potential medical problem in this alternate treatment. I chose to perform this and full newsreel mode, clipping some pronunciations and backing out with appropriate music and sound effects. I hope you like it. Boggs Tony Port New Cure for Drunks There's a cure for alcoholics that has said its radiance into thousands of desolate homes. It does its work silently and surely that while the affected loved ones look on, the drunkard has reclaimed even against his will or without his knowledge. Tony Cocaine Port The Cure works like magic, consisting almost entirely of cocaine, syrup and grapes. If any drunker drinks copious amounts of this cocaine served, they will almost instantly lose their need and want of alcohol and will gain a new want for life. And bun tastes like alcohol cures cleverly disguised in a valuable port bottle that fools even the hardiest of alcoholics tell them to drink more than hand them. Boggs. Tony. There you have it. Three unusual voiceovers that demonstrates some of my vocal ability. Keep an eye out for other new demos. I'm planning to showcase a variety of accents and oddball character voices. Hopefully, I'm the one right voice for your project. Please contact me through voices dot com or directly at one right voice at gmail dot com. That's the number one right voice at gmail dot com. Thanks for listening. I look forward to working with.
