Profile Information

I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N)
Voice Actor
HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
Early in my career I worked as a voice over artist for companies subcontracted by Disney to dub their existing animated movies and series into Arabic for the middle east disney channel. I worked on ducktales as the voice of Launchpad Mcquack in the full 100 some episodes of the series as well as the movies (or two... cant quite remember) I also did incidental characters and I did the voice of Mr. Scrooge's butler. I also worked on the little mermaid movie as incidental characters (things like the magic cave and sailor number 3) I also worked as a channel announcer for Disney Singapore for a short period of time in 1997. Later on in when I moved to canada I took a few courses at the Broadcasting Institute in toronto. I have narrated over 40 medical conference videos for companies like GlaxoSmithKline, Astrazeneca, Novartis and Bayer. I have done radio ads for the Natural Gas Vehicles company here in egypt and the voice over for instructional videos for Johnson and Johnson's Oral B. Most recently I did the voice over for an online course for the Edcomm Group.

Half Now, Half On Delivery - a Paypal Solution (part 2 of 3)

57042701

This is just a thought here... but since I've been elbow deep in server muck looking for a way to deliver the files to my client in a professional way I got a little epiphany.

Since some of us find it somewhat cumbersome figuring out if a first time client will pay or… Continue

It was something my boss mentioned that triggered this whole hair pulling experience.

Video Demos - Are They Worth The Investment?

Nearly a month ago I got an email from one of my Sentinels (for those who don't know who Taji's Sentinel's are... they are voice actors and professionals who send me news that they think I should write about and that my readers might find informative.) The email my Sentinel sent me included information that was all over the Voice Over blogs regarding a new trend in the voice over industry called the Video Voice Demo.

So for Short lets call it a VVD. Its a simple concept. Instead of just sending… Continue

Prior to writing this post I must admit I didn't know the difference between being a Union Voice Over talent and being Non-Union. As it stands I cannot be a part of ei… Continue

It's quite a site here, isn't it? And it's improving my motivation to no end. Lamaze? Huh! No just writing a documentary script about water birth and looking for every excuse not to do it... which explains why I'm right here, right now. The series usually throws up stuff infinitely more challenging and stimulating, for me at least.

A quiet neighbourhood does wonders for the VOs from home. Happy house hunting! :)

Hi Mahmoud!

Welcome to Voiceover Universe! You'll meet some old friends and make some new ones around here!

I hope you'll check out and join a group that we started not too long ago called MARKETING FOR FUN AND PROFIT. It's a group dedicated to discussing ways we can market ourselves - what works; what doesn't. With your experience, you would be a tremendous resource! The link is: www.voiceoveruniverse.com/group/marketingforfunandprofit

Thanks for your time! I trust our paths will cross soon!

Best to ya!
