Well, some people actually get energy from being around other people. Maybe Bodie is one of those people. I feel like I’m a content middle ground. Being around people can be fun in small doses, but I also like having the time to focus on myself and my own projects.
Do you mind if I work on my agenda for the upcoming community meeting? I haven’t had a chance to, and I completely forgot before we left for the party.
...What about Beau? [Sigh] Sorry, I’m trying not to be like this. He just really pisses me off. I tried to be patient with him and give him time and space to grow, but he chose to hide in his castle with his rich prick friends and close himself off from everyone else. He’s only been here a little longer than I have - and by that, I mean, like, a few weeks - but he hasn’t participated in the community at all. Do you know what his job is? Stocks. Stocks in the human-dominated realm. That doesn’t benefit this community, it only benefits him and his expenditures in that space. Ugh. I just. Everyone works so hard and watching him blatantly walk all over everyone is just really upsetting for me.
I don’t really want to keep talking about him. Sorry, it’s just a lot for me right now.
Hey, Toby! Thank you so much for your audition. ^-^ Real quick notes; I think your audio is just a little quiet, and I am getting a bit of background noise, but I am able to hear and understand you well! It also sounded like you were having a lot of fun reading the lines, and I think that's really important. If you're at all nervous about reading, though, something I've suggested to another person was taking your time reading the lines and pausing for as long as you need to so you don't read them too fast or with a lot of nervousness. It's something I personally do when I'm recording, and it's helped me when I'm able to pause and take my time reading, and then going back and editing out the silence. Again, thank you very much for auditioning! I really appreciate your time and effort, and I'll keep you updated as the project develops. =)
Thank you and I really appreciate the feedback! I tend to think I’m talking loud enough but then when I go back and hear my audio, it sounds quieter than I thought. So that is something I do need to work on. I still appreciate the opportunity!
I feel like we're all learning more all the time, so I totally get it. I'm still figuring out how to use my microphone, personally (turns out I was not using the gain setting correctly, oops). No shame in learning and improving as you move forward! ^-^ I wish you the best of luck in your future auditions!
