1. Can you tell us about a recent voiceover project you’ve recently enjoyed working on? Who was it for?

I recently completed work on an interesting project for international Fashion Designer, Masih Zad, who counts celebrities such as Antonio Banderas, Johnny Depp, and Keanu Reeves among his clientele.

2. What was the project all about?

It entailed helping to craft a distinctive yet contemporary narrative approach that would work for a three-spot campaign highlighting the unique nature, current posture and Persian history of the premium Masih Zad brand.

3. How did the project come to you? Agent? Website? Past client?

Well it actually appears that Mr. Zad himself and his production team found me on the MVO: THE VOICE-OVER GUYS site after a Google Search on a few keywords! They researched my MVO profile, visited my website to learn more about my work and Mr. Zad himself then reached out to me to discuss the concepts for the campaign.

4. What was the most interesting or enjoyable part of this project for you?

A few things: Mr Zad spends part of the year in his native Iran. Other times of the year he is stateside in Beverly Hills working with celebrity and executive clients. As a creator or both traditional and contemporary fashion, Mr. Zad and his team approached the crafting of a marketing campaign with the same attention to detail that they do on the Masih Zad clothing line. They have a very particular and discriminating clientele that they serve, and the scripting, production values and overall presentation had to do that standard justice. Beyond that, working with Mr. Zad and his team remotely (they were in Tehran at the time) meant phone conversations and messages where we had to work around a time difference of 9 hours and 30 minutes. Tehran time is ahead of me..so one could say I was “lagging behind” even as we worked together to put the best foot “forward”. It was an interesting project and represented a new client sector for my Voiceover efforts. A “tailor made” collaboration for sure.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Stanley Cup (and oh what fun you’ve been missing), here taken from NHL.com is a brief history of the NHL’s highest prize:

It all started on March 18, 1892, at a dinner of the Ottawa Amateur Athletic Association. Lord Kilcoursie, a player on the Ottawa Rebels hockey club from Government House, delivered the following message on behalf of Lord Stanley, the Earl of Preston and Governor General of Canada:

“I have for some time been thinking that it would be a good thing if there were a challenge cup which should be held from year to year by the champion hockey team in the Dominion (of Canada).

“There does not appear to be any such outward sign of a championship at present, and considering the general interest which matches now elicit, and the importance of having the game played fairly and under rules generally recognized, I am willing to give a cup which shall be held from year to year by the winning team.”

Shortly thereafter, Lord Stanley purchased a silver cup measuring 7 ½ inches high by 11 ½ inches across for the sum of 10 guineas (approximately $50); appointed two Ottawa gentlemen, Sheriff John Sweetland and Philip D. Ross, as trustees of that cup; and set the following preliminary conditions to govern the annual competition:

• – The winners to return the Cup in good order when required by the trustees in order that it may be handed over to any other team which may win it.
• – Each winning team to have the club name and year engraved on a silver ring fitted on the Cup.
• – The Cup to remain a challenge competition and not the property of any one team, even if won more than once.
• – The trustees to maintain absolute authority in all situations or disputes over the winner of the Cup.
• – A substitute trustee to be named in the event that one of the existing trustees drops out.

The first winner of the Stanley Cup was the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association (AAA) hockey club, champions of the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada for 1893. Ironically, Lord Stanley never witnessed a championship game nor attended a presentation of his trophy, having returned to his native England in the midst of the 1893 season. Nevertheless, the quest for his trophy has become one of the world’s most prestigious sporting competitions.
