I wouldn't necessarily agree with this. In the all-star world, YES- we all realize when someone steals a popular voiceover. But when a high school team is using parts of all-star mixes or voiceovers, I don't know that many people notice. All-star and high school are very separate in a lot of places.
that is very true
doesnt change the fact that its going to upset people. Dont use it if you know that somebody previously had it. But if they didnt know, its fine. Just either way people are gonna be upset
you're right it might upset some people, but it's a waste of time to be upset.... okay in the video that was posted earlier for instance. or even lets say if someone did use a voice over that said "don't get it twissteeed!!" yeah you might be upset about it. but like i said they did not just create that phrase by some grand stoke of genius. to be upset because someone else has a voice over saying the same thing is really just a lost cause.
it's a complete waste of time and to me it's one thing to take a completely original voice over from another piece of music and use it in your own and a whole 'nother story to use something as generic as "don't get it twisted" anyone could use that in their music at any time... chances are they won't have it sound the same as the MD Twisters voice over or some people could MAYBE argue that was "taken" from them, but unless they are going to copyright the use of that phrase in any way shape or form in music for a routine, which get's tricky with this kind of thing. there's nothing you can do about it. and if someone wants to do it.
they will.
end of story. if that "it's time to get twisted" or whatever it said upset someone... well it's not nearly the same voice over. two words in the whole thing are the same and it's not even the same voice. so get over it. things happen. i'm sure one has more important things to worry about than "someone use two words from our voice over!!"
i know i came across a mix this past season that had a v/o previously used by a well known team and no one cares...all that much. it's like "oh we used that two years ago.."
and i'm rambling now,but to use a completely original voice over as your own, for example: "you know. we're not done. cali smo-ed number o-o-one" and one used it in their music and just changed it to... idk some random team number one. that would be like. okay, no.
but "don't get it twisted"... come on now. i mean i will admit alot of times when i hear it i think of that program and it's only because they use it so much yeah they're known for theire use of said phrase, BUT it doesn't change the fact that it's not "theirs" exactly. one can't get "upset" with someone else for using it to. IMO
alright i'm done..
