Sent from agent today... looking for :

Male. 30-60. Would like to keep age open for now because I’m not sure exactly what we want yet. We’re building a personality for the brand that is fun, but a bit quirky. Whether it’s his voice, his cadence, or something else, we’re hoping the Anncr can match the spots and the brand personality. HOWEVER, these should not be read in a “whacky” voice. They should be read straight and any personality should come through subtly.

I love directions.

[Jodi Krangle]

Love your stuff, Chadd. That's no exception. Considering that somewhat contradictory direction, you did awesome.

[JoeActor]

Nice read Chadd...

I got that one too - liked the Husband roles!

Off,

Dunno yet, but I'm hoping for the Koala one (posted below).

Also below is a new one from Voices for "Red Bed".

Seems like forever since I posted!

Chad -- Nice relaxed read. You're really getting that real guy sound down. Well done.

Joe -- Great reads as always. You can really feel the emotion in the first read and the second was fun to listen to. I could visualize you playing with a dog. Cool stuff.

Here are a couple of items from me. The first one was an audition for Hollywood Video where they were looking for an impression of Yoda from Star Wars. I took the advice from Pat Fraley and added the R2-D2 sound FX and voiced the Ryan character just to give them an idea of what my Yoda might sound like in the spot. Just listen the first part since the second part of the aud is only the Yoda voice. The second audio is something that has become sort of a tradition with me. Each year I record the Birthday song for my wife using different characters. Last year I did my bad impression of Homer and this year I gathered some of my own character voices to sing the song. I take the audio and use it as the login sound for my wife's computer so when she starts it up she will hear this. I thought you all might get a kick out of it. Sorry for the long message.

Cool B'day idea Jon!

Very creative...,
Joe

Very cool Jon. Nice job. I like your character stuff.

Here is one I did last night. They wanted a rough edge, rugged, masculine, deep voice.

No sense in complimenting any individual demos I've heard in this thread so far. Every one has been a winner!

Here's my version of the Red Bed spot.

While I'm at it, I'll also post a couple more from Voices.com. One is for Bada Ding Body Shop, which I did two ways; the first one was "normal" and the second take was the way I thought a business with that name ought to be promoted.

And finally, two different characters for some wierd cartoon project. The fist chracter is a grizzled, middle-aged man and the second one is an apparently gay snake.
