Same two as Colin's above. The Mario & Sons asked for an Italian accent, if possible (but not required). I'm not sure mine's any good but that's what I gave them.

The one for the ATV store had W-A-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y too much copy. I gave them two reads, the faster of which ran 6 seconds long. Here's the better read. It's 17 seconds over.

Lee - Probably shouldn't have gone with the accent.
You probably do a great Dracula though. Wink

Hail Wilson

I got this lead from V123 for Rocket City Power Sports. The client wants the lead to build to a quick pace, and in 60 seconds. They only way I managed this was to use the samplimg effect and leave out the last three words; READY..SET..RIDE!

Hail, that Rocket City Power Sports is just begging for fancy, over the top, engineering to make it a true Hard Sell. I think some volume in your voice at certain times would have helped as well. I wonder if Simon auditioned for this one.

And now for something completely different, and mislabeled Confused

Not sure how others' approaches to this have gone, but knowing that Maricopa County is the home of the (in)famous Sheriff Joe, they all seem to be tough on crime across the board, so I tried to reflect that. I don't usually "produce" auditions (or spots for that matter, as my library is limited at the moment) but thought I'd give this one a go.
