So You Think You Can Voice Act? - YouTube Contest

Project Overview

This is something silly that I decided to do, but this is going to be a pretty cool contest.  Basically, there are different categories and it's your job to give me the best audition you've got!  All through the video, I'll give you tips and hints as to what directors want, and even if you don't think you can voice act, it's all worth the shot.  I'd love for you to audition!


The winner from each category will get a free commission found under octohobbit's Fiverr or her deviantART.
