At that point, Scott, you'd then be "cold & fuzzy."
Sorry - I couldn't resist.

I find that things that are "up my alley" tend not to be appreciated. This one earned a score of "2 Stars".

| Travis....Did you audition for Rufus the swamp hog.....Don't get me wrong your way more dignified than Rufus.....but you naturally have a somewhat gruff older voice. I have to work really hard to sound like you do.

Travis, I loved your read on this. Maybe you got two stars because you only have one name. We gotta get you a last name. Then maybe it would double to at least 4 stars. A 'period' just isn't enough of a last name for someone as talented as you are!

Colin, unfortunately that lead with the sage story is now closed. Darn.

Hi Deby and Scott
Didn't audition for any swamp hogs. -If itwas for a videogame or animation, I tend to ignore those due to some previous bad experiences.
The "gruffness" is a put-on, the older sound is 'cause I'm older.
I'm glad you liked this Scott. The "Old Guy" character is one of several who I would like to see get more work.
The "one name" thing is something that happened many years ago. It's actually my last name. (A long and not-very-interesting story) It's how I'm registered with AFTRA and SAG.

I auditioned for that one as well and felt it was right up my alley as I proposed a Sam Ellioit delivery. "Sorry Sid.....you get 2 Stars just like Travis". Kinda pissed me off but I'm glad I'm not alone. It wasn't US Travis.....it's THEM.

Just curious guys... what was the average rating they gave?
