Welcome to the August 2009 RAP CD! We get things started with audio from this month's interview subject, Ty Ford. Track one features a couple of his current demos for commercial VO and narration. Track 2 is audio for Dave Foxx's Production 212 column. Commercials fill out tracks 3 through 14, including a five second commercial from Buzz Calhoun on track 13, which has got to be the shortest commercial we've featured on the RAP CD in quite some time, if not the shortest ever. And it's an effective spot as well!
Promos are on tracks 14 through 26. Track 26 from Vaughn Jones has a back-story as Vaughn notes: "We endured a huge cyclonic storm here the day after Christmas. This is a major tourist strip, so thousands of people had their holidays ruined. Beaches were closed, NYE celebrations cancelled etc. You literally could not go outside; it was awful. Anyway, it was finally forecast to clear one weekend, and I made this promo to capitalize on it.". Track 27 is a Michael Jackson tribute all the way from South Africa. We get some fun stuff on tracks 28 and 29, and Chadd Pierce submits a Memorial Day Tribute on track 30.{nmap}html5|475|230|files/archives/2009/aug/cd|||||||7|1|95%|160px|60%{/nmap}
