Actually Scott... it was a French accent! And they asked me to deliberately tone down the accent so that it was barely perceptible on the 2nd read.. so you're right - I did stray... deliberately!

Hmm... that blanket comment sounds awfully familiar... Grandpappy? Jeez Scott, he's not that old! LOL
Congrats on the gig btw! Well done!

Outstanding stuff, Brad; glad you're posting some lately, since I'd kind'a forgotten how skilled a voice actor you are.
The Jobs was a dead-on, enthusiastically-nerdy podium presenter, and the Drug-Test displayed astonishing range. You do us proud.
And - of course - fuzzily warm and comfortable, Gramps Wilkins.
T'was fine, fine Sunday morning listening.
Wow On!

| That script and your read made coupon cutting sound like and exciting adventure. As someone who cuts coupons I've always thought of it as a mundane borring chore that I have to do in order to save 10 cents on box of herbal tea.......Great job....and I image your cheaper than William Shatner. lol

Brad - The stoner characterization was excellent - sounded a bit older than high school to me - but super job on the voicing! The background was a bit distracting - - I know you were going for a school hall - but seems too much "public space" activity for their "in confidence" conversation to each other - mentally pulling me away from your very good interpretation of "their scene."
RE- Fluent - Excellent and believable read on Jobs... Just the right enthusiasm - Echo is very tricky to do though - making you sound in an empty hall vs a full auditorium - try cutting the echo back by 50% and add a little pre-delay to the wet mix if your plug-in has that capability.
Both - excellent reads Brad.

Robert, Colin, Thom...thank you. Coming from you guys, that makes me feel like I've done a really good job.
Too bad that they've already given the Jobs deal to Scott. Oh well. Couldn't have been given to a nicer or more talented guy. 
You all see that usually I give nothing but dry reads, but considering that I produce stuff rarely makes me feel even better about how I did. I should've enveloped the hallway back a bit more, and I should've tweaked the Jobs read a little more...I just threw in a full auditorium preset and went with it, since I only have an hour to finish once I decide to do it. Although the Jobs think was a first take.
Thank you all again.
Colin, those were very good. Not pitiful. I'm the one not getting work... Keep plugging!
