If you're as prone to blunders as I am, you can understand the motivation that led me to develop "The Goof Stomper." Over the decades, I've tried all the usual stuff: finger snaps, hand claps, clickers, jabbing at the keyboard to drop markers at each boo-boo...even stopping, going back, and fixing mess-ups as I went (commonly called "punch and roll") The latter technique really breaks the rhythm of the read and slows everything down. I felt there HAD to be an approach that would be less distracting and would allow me to focus completely on my read, without ever taking my eyes off the script. That led me to the development of "The Goof Stomper," which solves the problem, 100%.
A Major Lifestyle ImprovementVoiceover people try all kinds of hacks to mark their errors. Finger snaps, hand claps, even Halloween clickers. Now, there's a much more effective method that lets you keep your mind on the read without those annoying distractions. With the Goof Stomper, gentle taps on a quiet foot pedal will drop "goof markers" into your recording, so you can easily find and fix your outtakes afterwards. The Goof Stomper approach is especially great for long-form voiceovers, where the number of outtakes is correspondingly larger. Things like audiobooks, and scripts for those long YouTube and eLearning voiceovers are a lot less of a hassle when you aren't clutching a clicker the whole time, clapping your hands until they're raw, or losing track of where you are in the script while re-finding the right spot on the keyboard to signal your software you just goofed. |
Goof Stomper's foot pedal is so sensitive that you can drop a marker with a nudge of your big toe, yet is engineered to send only one signal per tap, with no stutters or repeats. Its rubber feet keep it from scooting away, even on smooth floors. And its ergonomic design is comfortable and natural, so it quickly becomes like a part of your body, making its use as instinctive as breathing. That lets you keep your creative mind engaged with the read rather than becoming distracted by harsh sounds or the jarring breaks required to do punch-and-roll corrections.
The other day I needed to do some recording for our local radio station. For this project I used your Goof Stomper, (which) made the project go so much easier…Thank you for coming up with the idea and for making it available to me. I love it!
