PTE AV Studio Promo

[Igor]

I asked Barry Beckham create a new Promo video about PTE AV Studio 10.

Please rate this video and add comments on YouTube to help me promote PTE AV Studio on YouTube.

C'est fait Igor

I think that the video presents PTE AV Studio 10 very well. The video is presented simply, professionally whilst demonstrating the ability of the program.

Regards,

The demo slideshow is great. The only thing that might make it sell better in North America is a more regional voice. Barry has what I consider to be an Australian accent which is probably great for sales in Australia and the UK. I know game developers hire professional voice actors, but I don't know how much they cost.

I hope this comment does not offend Barry or other Australians. I just would like to see PTE  become more common in the United States. I'm sure a Mac version will help too.

Thanks,
Tom

Tom,

No worries, I understand your concern about U.S. users. Thanks.

I would prefer to keep Barry's voice for PTE 10.

Hi Tom, 

I am sure that Barry will also find your comment about his accent as amusing as I do.

Those who know him will tell you that he has lost very little of his original accent during his "brief" stay in Australia.

LOL. I'm not a world traveler, that's for sure. I'm about 1,000 km away from my nearest neighbors Canada and Mexico and just know a few words in Spanish.

I am not an English speaking person, but I very easily understand Barry's voice. I think it's important for potential PTE users who live in many countries.

Honestly, when I watch US or British movies without translations (or the most terrible case - TV news) I can understand only about 10% of speech

P.S. Queen's English

No, I’m not offended, but this thread has amused me quite a bit and I can use a bit of amusement right now, so thanks for that. An Aussie accent? I don’t think so  The Aussies here pick up in an instant that I’m not born and bred from these parts and ask me where I’m from. The Brits living here also pick up my accent instantly and many will guess pretty close what part of the UK I’m from.

For the American market I could make sure I use the words awesome and cool into every sentence, but then that infuriates me. I have been told by some ladies that they take me to bed some nights on their laptop (tutorials) and fall asleep at the sound of my voice. I’m not sure if I should be flattered, or offended that I send them to sleep

Hi Barry or perhaps Gday mate!

Some ladies might take you bed Barry but I don't.  I meet you for a coffee and a chat at your bungalow  or at Chancellor Park Coffee Club  when I am over there in Buderim but that's about it.

I remember Eric and Ernie in bed together and nobody said anything then but nowadays............Hmmmm??

Also Barry Beckham Australian??? That too is amusing.

Hi Barry,

If I close my eyes and hear your voice I think of Paul Hogan, not Paul Hollywood.  

I'm glad people think my post is amusing. People should laugh more often to stay healthy. 

Fyi, awesome and cool are proper Californian dialect.

Thanks,
Tom

LOL - Barry's the "Mate" with the British "Bloke's" accent !!!  Actually, he does such a great job of speaking that about anyone who speaks English can easily understand him. 

I can't speak well at all after my stroke - one never misses the water until the well goes dry they say. Even when I could speak normally (for me), my voice wasn't well suited for making tutorials. I've always been amazed with the fact that Barry doesn't need any "fillers" (uh, ummm, etc.) and doesn't stumble over his words like the majority of us.

Best regards,

Lin

[Barry Beckham]

Oh yes I do stumble over words and my wife has often said I should post some bloopers, but I’m not sure everyone is ready for my cursing

Tutorials with your voice - a sign of the company PTE AV. I am not an English-speaking person, but I understand good English. And I understand your speech. I like the timbre of your voice, it is calming. 

Lin Evans

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. And I understand your speech well too.

Thanks

Aleina.
