Does anybody know of any English women between the ages of 30-35 that would like to do some sound dubbing?

The dubbing will be for a museum in Warsaw.

If you know of somebody or if you are the somebody, please message me.

I'm in shock that they allow such open "age discrimination" in this day and age.

Why does it matter whether the woman is between 30 and 35 as long as her voice is good? Am I missing something?

[lundjstuart]

Maybe because it's due to the fact of voice maturity. They don't want the voice to sound young and juvenile but also not like an old lady's scratchy voice.

If you think outside of the box sometimes, you wouldn't need to ask this question in the first place!

Political correctness isn't applicable in many situations

Although in a practical sense, I don't think there is any real distinction in women's voices between 30 and 45 - the age range seems unnecessarily limited.

Off topic:

I see adverts all the time
- "We're looking for a woman to work behind the counter."
- "We're looking for a man to work in the bakery."

Would never get away with that kind of thing back in PC Blighty.

Eh, I like the Poles' upfrontness about it all, they like to do what the Pommies etc. can only think nowadays

Actually in general I find people in English speaking countries to be passive agressive back-stabbing two-faced mindfucks after Poland. The Poles wear their emotions and opinions on their sleeves and it can be grating at times, but at least you know where you stand with them.

I work at a sound dubbing studio, the owner asked me if I knew anybody that will fit the profile. The first sitting is a sound test, they will take that sound test and send it to the museum and they will give the yea or nea! I didn't make the restrictions, I just follow them.

Think about it, it's for SOUND DUBBING!!! They will use the voice, not the face of the person!! If they need a kids voice that is about 10 years old, they aren't going to look for somebody that is 30 to do the voice but rather somebody that is about 10 years old!! Appearantly you don't think outside of the box because you would've thought about this too!!

Yeah it's good that way in Poland. I think psychologically it's a lot healthier than bottling everything up and masking annoyance or anger, which is par for the course at least in Australia.

I dunno, with back-stabbers from English speaking countries I can really get sucked in thinking we get along fine, only later to be shocked to discover the other person completely has it in for me.

With most Poles I have never experienced that level of convincing deceit, usually I can tell if something's not clicking in the relationship. Curiously enough the Poles who can pull it off well are the ones who've spent some time in the USA or UK and liked it a lot, adopting the accent and culture to boot.

The difference is that with Poles a disagreement tends to get resolved then and there. There may be some harsh words, but afterwords generally you can trust the person.

English natives tend to pretend to make up, even go out of their way to make the other person think it's all water under the bridge - and THEN wait for an opportune moment to completely f**k the other person over.

More than a few times I've gone to meet a Polish person after a disagreement preparing myself for an ambush and been surprised (and relieved) to find none come.

This is when I begin plotting the poor Polish chump's utter demise.

[hrvatski]

Yes we do have a competitive advantage over Poles in that regard
