Why I Like Making Videos!

Why I like makeing videos!

First things first. I am a full time voice actor. I do voice overs from my professional home recording studio. That’s how I make my living so THAT job will always come first!

Being a full time voice actor I am always on my computer. Well…let me rephrase that. I am ALWAYS on my computer!! So much so that my wife thinks I’m obsessed. I am checking my email all the time!! It’s seems like every hour. After all, if I audition for a voice job I need to know if that new client needs his voice over done right away or if it can wait. Most voice jobs need done within 48 hours. Sometimes less, sometimes longer. It just depends on the project.

On the other hand, being a full time voice actor also means I might have down time, sometimes. I don’t win every voice job I audition for. Actually, it’s not even 50 – 50. More like 30 – 70. (but lately it’s been more like 20% wins to – 80% losses) Yep…of all the jobs I audition for I probably win only 20 – 30 present of them. IF THAT!! I have to audition all the time though!
Otherwise, I wouldn’t even get 20%!

Since I sometimes have a little bit of down time, here is where my videos come in.

I love making videos! I really do! When I first started, I was recording a lot of my videos on my web cam camera (or my wife’s lap top camera) But, just before Memorial Day weekend this year, I went out and got a new Kodak Zi8 camcorder. I’ve had this new camera for a few weeks now and I’m still playing around with it. I plan on doing a review of it soon, but ordered a small clip on mic and I want to wait until it gets here first. I want to do a very GOOD review! So it’s coming.

I don’t have a vanity complex. Matter of fact, for a long time, I hated to even look at myself in the mirror! (it had a lot to do with my eyes) But, in the recent years, I’ve really out grown that. I just really like producing and making the videos! I am a big ham!

I don’t really have any set subject on my channel here. This channel (FranksVideoWorld) is not about voice overs. (That’s what my OTHER youtube channel Frank James Bailey is for. If you want to know more about voice overs, check it out sometime) FranksVideoWorld channel isn’t about comedy (although if I do some stupid things sometimes. I will post them here!) This channel isn’t about farming, makeup, or movies. It’s turning out to be more about vloging and family
stuff. A little bit of everything.

I’m trying to upload a video 2 – 3 times a week. Although no set days of the week because I never know for sure how much voice work I get from day to day. For example, Monday and Tuesday of this week (6/13 & 6/14) I was swamped!! I was doing voice over stuff ALL DAY! By Wed. I had a few jobs, so I made a short video. And finally by Thursday, I had nothing! REALLY! Not a single VO job on Thursday! So I did a lot of the paper work side of the business that day.

Anyway...all the videos I make here on FranksVideoWorld should be entraining, silly, informative, thought provoking, and sometimes a little bit stupid. Because that’s the kind of guy I am. I’m silly. I tell stupid jokes. (for example…I responded to this kids video of summer ducks. I said…this video isn’t what it’s all quaked up to be! You see…stupid jokes!) I don't think I'll swear or talk about religion or politics in my videos. (it’s like an old rule I learned in radio) So my channel will me mostly family friendly.

If you’re a new subscriber…thanks!

If you haven’t subscribed yet…please do! Not every video of mine will be as entertaining as the next, but I will keep it updated!

And who knows, maybe my channel will turn into something in the future. Maybe it will mold itself into something different. Maybe I’ll get a great idea and just roll with it!

After all…this channel is MY WORLD. This is Franks Video World!!

Thanks for watching my videos, and thinks for reading my blog.

Have a great weekend!
