Applications

Amongst some of the voice work done, Alistair has provided speech for computer-based public kiosk systems. Below are two examples of his work.

The first example is from Colorama Pharmaceuticals' DAWN (Delivery Assured Weekday Next-day) shopping kiosk, which is in some of the pharmacies that use their delivery network in the UK. The specification was to provide an informative introduction to each screen that appeared on the touch-screen monitor, guiding the customer through the options. The voice was supposed to be calming, no-nonsense and formal.

The second example is for a theoretical ticket kiosk that would be found in a cinema, as an automated ticket booking system. Because of the situation and the average clientelle, this is a more informal, "excited" presentation that fits the environment that the kiosk would be in.
