Volunteer voices needed!
-
Anyone feel like recording several wave files of their voices saying specific - but not totally scripted things? You'll get a chance to sort of be actors. You'll get credited in the software - you might even become famous!!!!!!!! I am writing software to help users with the BowFlex system. They can pre-program their workout routines (excercises, weight to use, number of reps, number of sets, etc) and select a "trainer" (your voices). The trainer will then talk them through the exercises, counting the reps, telling them what excercise is next, what attachment to use, how to position the seat, etc. I want each trainer to have a very unique personality - like one would be a drill sergeant, one would be a kindly and motivating pal type, one would be a dominent beeyotch, etc, etc. The people could pick which trainer they would feel most motivated by.
Recorded phrases would include* Specifying the bench positions (place the bench in the 45 degree position)
- Specifying the attachment to use (This excercise uses the lat pulldown bar)
- Describing how to do each excercise
- Naming the excercise (Now for some bench presses)
- Counting to 50 - several different times
- Telling how much weight to put on each side - from 5 to 205 pounds in increments of 5
- Several motivational phrases consistent with the character being acted
I can not afford to pay actors for this. I am guessing the entire repertoire for each character would take less than a half hour to do. If you'd be interested then let me know!

Nope. The original quote used other names. I changed the names to those of Eddie and Richy from the BBC series Bottom.

Some of the stuff in the army was ok. But the damn exercises every damn morning was just annoying. Waking up somewhere in the middle of the forrest to mozquitos isn't very fun either. But the actual "service" I did, was kind pseudo-fun. It was all the grunt stuff that I loathed. I doubt I'll be able to put C4 on the enemy's truck better just because I can do 50 push ups in an instant in the morning. Military traditions exist just because the superiors had to endure them, not because of practical purposes. I'd rather run 10 miles in the woods and put the damn C4 on the truck and run back, than do silly push ups. Those who do push ups in an actual war will most likely be cannon fodder... -- Booohoo!

I'm sure you know that doing lots of varied excercises increases total body health, strenght, stamina, etc. Pushups build chest muscles, chest muscles allow you to push things. Also, the formal PT sessions teach everyone to do thinkgs as a group that they would never consider doing on their own (ie follow an order to drop down on the ground and do pushups when it is 5:30 in the morning and below freezing outside). I'm sure you can imagine how well an army would fight if it was made up of a bunch of people who never excercised and got up when they wanted to. Was your service compulsory? If so, would you have ever considered serving if it weren't and how does the average person view compulsory service there?
