The words just jumped to my ears one by one and clearly. Love the engery of the 2nd version~~
Great job recording so many auditions! That is the crux of this class, practicing while learning so that it can permanently stay in your mind and in your voice. I love how many different voices and how many different styles you brought to the table here, but I would recommend avoiding submitting so many takes for other auditions out in the VO field. If a director sees an audition file that is way longer than the others they are checking out, they may feel discouraged to listen to your entire file. For us though, we love it! If you're going to do accents or voices, make sure you aren't sacrificing your articulation or clarity in exchange. You did a great job!
I totally agree with your feedback on the number of auditioning takes; I too limit myself to at most, 3 takes for my auditions. I just figured that since the purpose of the whole exercise is to apply the lessons we learned, nothing beats actually doing it and might as well push the limits so that one can grow and even discover something new. While taking note of the clarity of the reads, which was the point of that week's lesson, I wanted to see how much clarity I can put into the different accents and styles I know. I really tried to pay a lot of attention to my words in those different accents, re-taking anything that doesn't sound clear enough to me (in my head anyways).
