Newest Clip: soundcloud.com/user-735320952/avelder - Submitted October 1st, posted on October 18th. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that the role's been cast in the thread I tried out for, it should be okay to put up my take on the character I auditioned for. I combined all three clips together this time around, so there's only the one ten-second link to go to. vocaroo.com/i/s17ea3cwHQ09 - Line deliveries are supposed to be normal (#1), concerned/irritated (#2), and sickly/shaky (#3). I got some nice feedback from the one that's handling the project, but I'd like some more if possible. Critiquing me would be a big help for me here, both in terms of the delivery and audio quality itself. I was so nervous when it came to that second line because of not being used to trying to combine two emotions like that together. I'm sure you can hear how it's quieter than the other two lines in the clip even after noise reduction and normalizing it to the same -3dB range I did with the other two clips. I'm going to try for a couple of other projects later this week, but let's see where I can improve before I go rushing into them first.

I listened to it a few times to try to give honest feedback...I think, for me, the second line "This doesn't look like nothing, Scarlet." seemed like you held back a bit (possibly because you were nervous) I could tell you were going for concerned/irritated, but I think there could be more emotion. I definitely got "sickly" for the last one. The first line kind of reminded me of the 'angsty teen' voice from FNAF: Sister Location. Was this for a video game?

Yes. I'm sorry for not linking to it the first time around. Here it is. The character was supposed to be an older teenage boy that was a bit blunt but still caring towards his female friend. I agree with you on the held too much back line for the second one. I've found that one of my biggest struggles is when it comes to raising my voice and retaining emotion so far. Thanks for the opinion. Working on my confidence behind the mic and just with my voice in general is my main goal right now, so I'm trying to challenge myself here and figure things out as I go!

I agree with what Waitinginadream said, I could hear some wavering in the second line. On top of that, I have two additional notes to add. Next time try taking it a bit slower when you're reading the lines and try adding just a little more emphasis in your speech, especially at the end and the start of your sentences (Instead of going up in, try going down). Nonetheless, good take, hope my feedback helps. ^^;

Yes, your feedback does help. I think I was talking through those lines faster because I was afraid of losing my tone and reverting back into my regular monotone voice. That and delivering believable emotion have been my two biggest hurdles so far. I get over them sometimes, and I crash right to the ground on others... sometimes on different lines in the same audition! That's kind of what happened on line two in this one.
But it gives me an idea of what I can or can't do yet and where I need to improve. Thank you!

soundcloud.com/user-735320952/avelderWhen I saw that Arzu Venture thread with everyone posting auditions a few weeks back, I wanted to give it an honest shot. The character I felt okay enough sending in an audition for was an elderly wise man (dog). There are five lines and three takes of each one in this 90 sec. clip. I felt the best about the first take on each line, but that last line tripped me up way too much since the description was the character was always calm yet here he is delivering an emotional statement. This was the audition where my anxiety behind the mic started to go away a bit as I just wanted to have fun here, but I don't know if the actual result sounds any good. I'd rather embarrass myself by putting my tryout up publicly and asking for feedback.
