This was created for a friend's short film, Blooming Orchids. My friend and I both come from Indian Army families whose fathers have dedicated their lives to protecting our borders. As proud children, we felt compelled to share a narrative about the valour and courage of many heroes who will never be known.

Battle field Voice over.mp3

One evening of disagreements with my girl, had left me completely stressed. I needed some silence to introspect about what actually happened. That’s when the silence led me to pen my thoughts and to my surprise they turned out poetic. I recorded the poem in my own voice thinking it could convey my pain and thoughts with emotions and a friend added a tune to my voice. The disagreements still existed but we found a way to agree to disagree. She really loved the poem though and has since coaxed me do voice overs.

This is my first attempt at doing voice overs; I found the language light and easy and read the paragraph from this pulpy paperback that was lying around as a fun experiment.

New Recording 33

Another variation of the recording 33, a little more dramatic; it was great to experiment with accents. I hope you like listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.
