Your tone is pretty good on your line delivery; just watch out in terms of your pauses, since you want to sound natural when you're delivering the line instead of as if you're reading from a script. As for the singing, you've got a good sense of the rhythm and tone, though there appears to be a bit of audio desync when Big Band comes in with the melody? I assume that's a quirk with Audacity and other recording programs. Pay attention to the rhythm in the scratch as well; the syncopation in the vocals is pretty essential to the characterization of Big Band, as syncopation (basically accents on the up-beats) is an important basic tenet of jazz music. Thank you very much for auditioning!

(From the Skullgirls Wiki)

"Ben Birdland, aka 'Big Band', is an observant detective who is committed to using his abilities to stop Skullgirls. When he was working as a police cop, he was one of the few (another being his former partner Irvin) who follows the rules and regulations while the others were corrupt. While he maintains himself to be calm and collected and prefers to talk things out, he will not hesitate to fight back when he has to. He is also fatherly towards the younger members of the Anti-Skullgirl Labs and shows consideration to others, such as Painwheel. Another example of his consideration is when he refused to kill Marie, who is carrying a part of the Medici Tower, under orders from Brain Drain since it will cause major damage to the area."

I need an African-American bass-baritone who is comfortable with jazz-style singing.

The sides they read from:

  • These days, I walk a different beat. The Skullgirls. They play by a whole different set of rules, and they'll keep on coming, until we put an end to the source of their power: the Skull Heart. That's my job. If I can do that, we don't have to worry -- for a while.

  • Big talk, but you ain't ready to walk that talk. We'll track her down and take her out together.

  • Sing the sample song found here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tIMhUXUufoFd7Lq13QXAyotXRBnQDc_CgVZdXAqs0E4/edit?usp=sharing)
