Rabs Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 I just finished uploading my new video... Its of me staining a guitar blue... Its fairly long (9:25) so I don't expect people to watch the whole thing.. Its really meant for anyone interested in doing it themselves... And the idea is if they see that they may look at some of my other vids etc...... So yeah, its my first time narrating a video... I HATE the sound of my own voice so I hope it doesn't drone too much, please feel free to tell me whatever you think... Here goes :)
kelly campbell Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Nice, I found that very interesting. I will be checking out your other video's as well I will be waiting to see the end result of this guitar.
Retired Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Very nice Rab. I've been following you on Facebook. It's like an Artist isn't it? keep working it till you get the result.
btoth76 Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Hello Rabs. Very nice job! Great video too! Bence.
kidblast Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 This is outstanding Rabs! you come a long way lad... a loooooooooooooooooong way!
deeman Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Cool video, i didn't think i'd watch the whole thing, but 9 minutes later here we are!
merciful-evans Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 That was genuinely interesting for me. I also watched it all. You speak at the right speed for me (meaning I digested it all), and your voice is relaxed without being soporific. The most impressive thing though, is the furious rate at which you can work, and do that commentary at the same time! Kudos man… ;)
daveinspain Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Nicely done Rabs… You have come a long way baby!
badbluesplayer Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Wow!! That's a great video - and a great job on that finish. Just beautiful. [thumbup]
Rabs Posted August 24, 2016 Author Posted August 24, 2016 Wow, such praise.. I thank you all... :) I was worried it would be a bit boring (even though I watch these vids all the time myself :))... So all this is good to hear.. And will make me want to do more
kidblast Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 nope Rabs. not boring, and nothing wrong with your voice either. your brit accent makes you sound way smarter than me!! :) (but I know, none of us really like hearing our voice... singing can be interesting when you're just starting out!!)

Ha, yeah ive always hated the sound of recordings of me.... So its good to know that its acceptable :)
daveinspain Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 So how are things going Rabs, are you selling your guitars?
Rabs Posted August 24, 2016 Author Posted August 24, 2016 So how are things going Rabs, are you selling your guitars? Sadly no not yet... No orders or even any enquires.... Really hard to break in to this... I have a web site, facebook and youtube page... Plus I took out an advert for three months in a national Guitar magazine... HOWEVER, I have a trade show coming up in October and another in February that im booked in to... I think that if I don't sell anything at either show I will probably have to give this up.... So we will see.... Id love to do this for a living but always knew it would be hard to break in to.... And at the end of it all if I cant make a living out of it.. At least now I know how to build a guitar from scratch which is what this was all about when I first started... So its all cool :)
Rabs Posted August 24, 2016 Author Posted August 24, 2016 The most impressive thing though, is the furious rate at which you can work, and do that commentary at the same time! Kudos man… ;) Haha, yeah.. I should have used the Benny Hill music :D
surfpup Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Hey, you're British! Always interesting to hear people's voices. We all hate our won speaking voices when we hear them on tape, btw. Yours works very well for voice-over I think.
Rabs Posted August 24, 2016 Author Posted August 24, 2016 Haha, yeah.. I should have used the Benny Hill music :D Actually I can do that... Heres a 1:37 version :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWrVD-9O6b0

surfpup Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Do we all sound the same to you in the US? :) No.
badbluesplayer Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Cheers, that's good to hear... I cant judge it impartially.... Do we all sound the same to you in the US? :) No. Not at all. Your voice is great. Really great. You could easily do voice-over work for advertising here in the US. In the States, your voice could convince people to buy anything because your particular accent implies a certain level of sophistication that is very attractive to Americans. Americans who try to have a fake british accents try to copy your particular way of talking. So maybe you could give classes to Americans who want to develop a british accent. We also have a kind of fake accent that is common among Hollywood types where they combine a sort of british accent with some other ways of speaking to make a kind of Kathryn Hepburn sounding voice.

Haha, good... So unlike RCT we don't all sound like Harry Potter to you then.... Or Di*k van Dyke (mind you, NO ONE ever sounded like that ;))
RevDavidLee Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Do we all sound the same to you in the US? :) No not at all. I watched the whole thing too. It looks like I'm the first to put a "like" on it so all you guys that watched it on here go back & watch it on you tube and give the bloke a "like" :) I enjoyed your voice Rabs - very relaxing - and yes the British accent definitely makes you sound more intellectual even though I'm quite certain you already are! Your video also taught me that I do not have the patience to go to all that work to make my own guitar so thank you in advance for saving me the time, money & expense of trying to make one even half as sharp looking as yours is. I appreciate your efforts my euro brother!
