Well, after receiving a lot of feedback on whether to have actual kids try out for V123 jobs, I received a re-invitation for a job this morning that was looking for kids... so I had two of mine try it out. What do you think?

Dave, cute, CUTE, CUTE!!!! Personally, I liked the sound of the kids' voices. They both sounded like they were reading, of course, as kids are wont to do, but the first kid sounded quite a bit more natural. There was a very noticeable hum that came in behind kid 2. What was that?

I just submitted this over on voices-dot-com. It's a reading for Edgar Allen Poe's "Cask of Amontillado". I DEVOURED Poe as a kid and this would be a 'dream gig' for me.

You know, Colin, I actually typed the word at first as 'wont' but was afraid people might think I meant won't, so I just changed it to want, not thinking anyone would even notice.

But you're exactly right!

P.S. Just changed it.

Man, you guys get all the great shots! I'd KILL to do Poe!

After teaching English lit for many years, I have an in depth knowledge of dear old tormented Poe. Great job, Thom, just the right tone with the edge of cold, creepy, calculating insanity needed for that tale.

I know you really didn't mean it that way, but your voice was very LOW in that read. The complete opposite of Michael Jackson. Laughing
