Heya! First of all GREAT submission. of those I've listened to so far, you're the closest for what I feel this character would sound like.
First thing's first, make sure you're reading all instructions. A lot of people miss the Slate, which is where you state your name or handle at the start of an audition. The reason it's so important isn't necessarily that I NEED the name and all, but if I put instructions in the prompt and someone doesn't follow them, it makes me think that the actor may not follow instructions well. And I know you said you were already aware that the audition is "a bit of a mess", but that's important too. If I think you're going to submit stuff that in your own eyes is "meh good enough", then that would make me as the producer think it might be worth giving the gig to someone else who will be giving it their all. Food for thought.
LOVED the performance overall, you have a great sound for a little character like this. I especially appreciated some of the extra efforts you did, like the electric 'Bttthphp!' Haha! Sounded great and showed really good character!
Last thing I'd probably say is I'd like to hear you in a slightly better recording environment and to have you edit out some of the extra booth noises. We all move around when we perform or bump the mic stand, lick our chops, catch our breath all that. But before turning it in, it's best to clip those bits out so the producer is only hearing exactly what you want them to~
THANK you for the submission! If I was casting for the game, you'd at the VERY least be shortlisted for sure.
