If you have five minutes to spare, which I’m quite certain most bloggers do, then you can listen to a character I created several weeks ago. Five minutes, now you can’t say I didn’t warn you about the length of the audio clip.
I’d like y’all to meet the one and only Havret. Please give him a warm welcome by lending an ear his way. I spent the better part of my Wednesday night fooling around with all the different audio formats. If this doesn’t work, maybe I need my next "why I’m not" post to be "why I’m not a computer programmer". My first take was about seven minutes long, but I’m totally guessing about the duration since since I foolishly forgot to hit the red record button before I started rambling.
Here’s a sample audio clip of Havret. (the full version resides in cyberspace somewhere)

People ask what my dream job would be and I’d have to say to do some sort of voiceover work. I guess you will all be the judge whether or not I’m fit for that line of work. It’s hard to get into character with a baby monitor echoeing in the background.

Oh, this wicked blogger is on the verge of having her first child. Wish her luck as Chase is about to make his grand arrival, if he hasn’t already.

EDIT: seems I really need to do the "Why I’m not a Computer Programmer" post since none of this audio is working as I’d like. I’m going to leave this post up anyways because I need something to show for three hours of computer time.
Very entertaining! Have you ever been to North Carolina? You’d find more than a few characters who sound like that!
Havret is hot.
He sounds familiar.
It’s not the destination it’s the trip. (Oh, I don’t know.)
out of everyone who reads this, i will probably be the one to least likely figure out how to listen to it. look at the huge issues i have with posting a simple picture.
i think you’d be fantastic at voiceover work. mmmhmm.
I was able to download the .aif format then play it through quicktime.
54 seconds wan’t enough the give a real critique – I need to see some character development first because sound is just a part of the total voice of a character.
I love youur ambition and look forward to more Havret.
Best,
Professor C. Daniele
I love it when you let your freak flag fly
Very inventive. I’m craaaap at voices though bro and I used to have our own ‘radio show’ back in the day where we’d do voices (all of them crap).
Why not give Odeo another try?
Or…use podcast.com. You can upload .mov files to it.
I got the aif file to work too. Ah…havret. Havret makes me giggle.
webtv? hahaha
I think you would be great at doing commercial voiceovers hacking products – infomercials as well.
Chase is a great name for a little boy, especially when he starts walking
I have a friend who does voice overs for King of the Hill and did for Beavis and Butthead. He seems to make decent money. A career change might be in order for you.
is havret from harry potter??
Hagrid is from Harry Potter. Not Havret. Havret is a southerner in need of some life insurance. And a dog killer.
Supposedly.
I’m still resting from the long journey to fruition that was la bebe Singe. I don’t know if I can get wrapped up in another pregnancy yet.
Well imagine my surprise when the file downloaded as 4:52 and stopped playing after twenty some seconds…
Diane Mandy – North Carolina is one of about ten or so states I haven’t been in.
Airam – what’s not to love about the guy, that’s what I’m saying.
Airam – has Havret dunk drialed you in the past?
Nessa – wrong blog? You got me with that one.
Brookem – voiceover work on my blog is the way to go. Now if I can just post audio files, we got it made. Then we need someone to “discover” me.
Chris – crap, that’s way too short. The story got better as time progresses. I can email you the full version when I get back home. Thanks boss.
Mez – I love that you love how I’m not afraid to wave my “freak flag” as you phrase it.
Sprizee – I had all sorts of issues with Odeo. My problem is privacy and that’s why I don’t link directly to the audio podcasts I’ve made on the MacBook.
Furiousball – yeah, they will hear that many many times I bet. Rumor has it they aren’t huge Chase Utley fans either. Maybe they like Garry Templeton instead.
Churlita – you sound like a fortune cookie in your last sentence.
Brookem – hells no, he’s running from the law.. not muggles.
Armalicious – Havret killed a dog? In the short sample audio clip, the folks didn’t get to hear that part of the story. I will check on podcast.com and see how that site works. Do you remember WebTV? It was supposed to rock the house.
Liv – why are we talking about babies on this post? I know it’s hard not to chat about kids and all so have at it. Were you responding to a comment of mine from the other post?
Justrun – I know, it really sucks ass. I have several more of them ready to go once I iron all the kinks out.
Interesting character. Please be careful that you don’t strain your voice…just sayin’
I can’t hear nofin.
I’ll try again later. Maybe I’m computer listeny stupid. Possible.
I used to work with a guy who had WebTV…he thought it was the shiznit. Poor dude.
Havret needs his own blog, me thinks.
I bet he would blog more often than you do…since he has WebTV and all.
He could entertain us with tales of running from the law
Multiples rule! Donde esta Candace? Où est le Candace?
Did my Mac translator do the French one right?
I thought your dream job was Speedo modeling. Egan, it’s like I don’t even know you anymore!
Lynn – actually, what do you mean by that? Like don’t sound like I’m too old?
TayRez – nah, it’s not your fault. It’s me and not having a mastery of my audio skills on my computer. I will get it all figured out.
Armalicious – WebTV really never did make it. I can surf the net on my tv via the Wii. It’s just like WebTV.
Armalicious – he probably could use a blog, but then the authorities might track him down. Havret has a price on his head for scamming insurance companies.
Armalicious – the translation was quite good. I think you’d phrase it “Où est Candace?”.
Pants – you got me there. I should start wearing my Speedo more often in public.
ding! ding!
I don’t know if I can listen to this with my kids around. What’s it about?
Does this guy figure into your Dreams?
Dream Big and in French.
What have you done to further your dreams today?
Am I annoying you yet?
I’ll keep trying.
I hope to make up in quantity what I lack in quality here.
Would you say I’m making any headway?
My dream is to annoy you today and make you fill my comments box with strange things.
I don’t believe you actually own a Speedo™. Have we ever seen phptgraphic evidence? Oh you mean the bike shorts looking things? What about a bikini? No? Humph.
I’m running out of things to say.
But this post looked lonely with less than 4,000 comments.
Yep Carpe Penguins.
I’m keeping up on BOTH ends here. (TWSS)
i need photographic evidence.
I think she meant “ou est le freak qui s’appelle Candace?” but I could be wrong. La pomme de terre est sous le lit.
So, like, sound is supposed to come out? Cuz it’s not.
Pants – I should consider a career change.
Tall Chick – alright, you’re too good at this game. I’m going to let you win this time around. I gave you a good run for your money on your blog.
Tall Chick – yes, I do own a couple Speedos. I didn’t have that many comments until your flurry, thanks. I added a podcast link in the left margin of my blog, MB Podcast. Go there and try to view/listen to them. You and that damn box.
