Hi and thanks for auditioning! You have a year of voice acting under your belt and I think it’s a great reflection of your abilities of this moment! The more we act, and continue to improve, we can only get better, right? :) Keep going! —— 1. As for the audition line 1, the second take was closer to what I was looking for. The first take felt like someone giving advice to someone younger or in an inferior position, as told by the confidence and the tone you used. Inversely, the character is talking to his boss, and I would expect a much less confident, and more respectful empathy in the delivery rather than confidence. The second take, which had slightly less energy (perfect) and the tonality coming from a subordinate. The only note I would give you to correct would be hitting the “IS” too hard. I know that it’s capitalized in the script, but you’re hitting it just a bit too hard - just enough to make it sound slightly less natural than where I’d like it. —— 2. There’s so much space between the takes. I know you’re trying to separate out the audition lines, but I felt that it was a bit too excessive. I’m sure different directors vary in their preferences - I, for one, only want around 0.5 sec of pause in-between deliveries. I just don’t want to have to wait a full 2 seconds for the next line. I don’t need that much time. :) How can you know that? You can’t. xD haha —— 3. In terms of audition line 2, I’d combine the EH from the second take with the rest of the sentence from the first take. The EH is a narrative device used often in anime/manga and it needs to be delivered in a certain way. Your 2nd take reflects that closer than your first. Also, the *YOU* is being hit too hard in your second take, which is why I’d prefer the first one. :) But I love the energy you’re bringing, though it could be a tad bit more. —— 4. As for the 3rd audition line, I absolutely despised the first take. It’s too cartoony and caricaturistic. That cadence, tone, and delivery might be fine for cartoons and animated characters, but I wouldn’t use that for real people in projects like these. Being able to portray an animated character in cartoons is a great tool to have - just not appropriate for a character like this. :) With that said, the second take was more human, but I’d say there’s too much aggression in the ARE YOU A LITTLE GIRL. I was looking for more of a disbelief, rather than accusal, perhaps? At least that’s what I heard. Then it switches to tragedy…? Not sure about the context of the rest of the sentence, but it felts quite disjointed. I’d probably direct you to continue the energy and intent from the 2nd audition line and try to carry it to the 3rd, slightly elevating the energy level, but playing in the same arena of context. —— I hope these comments are helpful to you. Good luck! :)
