Robert... so as not to cheat you out of a review since you have the 'honor' of having the last demo posted on the previous week's thread, I'm listening to your 'millions and millions' as I type. This is a good fit for you. Maybe one of the best I've heard from you. Your somber approach is really appropriate for what they were looking for, and I heard almost none of the accent that we often hear on your reads. VERY well done. Kudos.

Robert your read on the 'millions' script litterally gave me chills...wow!

Lisa, I wasn't going to do the awards script but since I don't speak Hawwaiin, Thai, Spanish or have an Italian accent, the pickings have been pretty slim...here's my attempt...after I sent it I realized the word Energetic was in the directions..I think I missed the boat...Marilyn

Robert,

That was indeed a great read. You are the Voice of the Day. At least for me.

Here's one from this morning from the 'other' site. They wanted a voice to emulate this spot for BMW:

And here's my take. I'm not trying to impersonate the guy; merely capture the mood.

Marilyn....

I'm not wild about your slate. Sounds kind of.... well.... weak.

And that's a tough demo to critique since it's so short. You kind of reverted back to your smiley bouncy voice, but something like that, where you're introducing award winners, almost requires a borderline phoney prototypical read. So in this instance, it may work well.

Marily....when I saw that I lead, I thought..."oh THIS should be easy." It really wasn't. I wasn't sure what to do with it....Hard sell? a Don LaFontain power delivery? Sexy & Sultry? Like I said...I did several takes, and nothing sounded "right" to me.

Time to put myself up for review:

The counterintelligence script from the other site.
