Demo of the day thread 2/12 - 2/18

Freddie Molina

Because you asked for it.....every week we´ll be creating a new Demo of the day thread where you can post and listen to other talents demo submissions. This way it´ll be much easier to track the samples for future reference.

Oh... I don't know what the others think but I would say it's not a big deal. Just neat for historical reasons.

Thanks Guys,

This is definitely a real nice way to look at how different voices saw and read the script. I luv it!!!

So since nary a soul has bothered to post one here yet this week, I'll post one of today's auditions..........

Wow Scott-
That was a really good read. These G8 people had something else up here not long ago. I wonder if anyone here got that one.

Anyway, here is mine....

Scott-
I have been trying to edit that little snippet for days and I can't get it to sound right.

I think I am going to just put it up dry. I know it is way to long.

Scott.
Can you tell me the purpose of a slate, some VO use them and some don't?

Thanks
Lynne

OK, from "that other site," I concentrated on this quite a bit only to realize the slave labor budget, but I tried hard and I'd apreaciate any commnets since it is a "non-radio" audio book novel read and I'd really like to improve those skills.

Colin-
Well, here are my thoughts.

One, your slate rocks! Now I want to copy you instead of Scott...I know, I am shallow.

On the read, your pace is slow a lot and you drop you voice on the last word of nearly every short sentence.

You have a couple of longer sentences where you pace speeds up and is much more compelling.

Two I can think of are the prejudice one and the last one you end on.

I think you have the perfect voice for reading things like mysteries and thrillers....you might want to stay away from bodice rippers..... Wink

I just wasn't feeling this one but thought I'd give it a try..

I must say that I found it as funny as you did.

You should submit it and demand 2500.00 to do the job.

Thanks for the laugh.
