On this July 1, 2017, the sesquicentennial of the founding of Canada, MVO: The Voice-Over Guys wanted to check in with our resident Canadian voice talent PATRICK SWEENEY about a recent voiceover project he voiced.
1. Can you tell us about a recent voiceover project you’ve recently enjoyed working on? Who was it for?
For the past 6 years I have worked closely with the students of Sheridan College’s Animation program, whereby I donate my studio and voice for some of the student’s 4th year films. It’s a great opportunity to share a little of what I know about the voiceover industry and record a few character voices for their projects. The films are used as tools to find future jobs in the Animation Industry.
2. What was the project all about?
Perry Lin, a student at Sheridan College asked me to play a gentleman that was very excited about going on his first on-line date. I recently saw the film at Sheridan’s Industry day and it was voted one of the top films by the students and professors.
3. How did the project come to you? Agent? Website? Past client?
It’s an ongoing relationship I have with Sheridan College and came to me by contacting their Animation Department a few years ago.
4. What was the most interesting or enjoyable part of this project for you?
Just giving back and helping out the talented students with their films is payback for me. They really appreciate what I do for them and I enjoy giving my time to help out in a small way.
