Lee, Nice work this week. First time hearing your urban/italian-type/youg thing. Very Nice. That lottery spot would be a sweet one also. Your Straight man was unbeatable.

Thanks Colin,
Well I'm glad you didn't think it was an utterly mess...(like my personal life is) LOL

Life is much simpler than all of that.

Look for what makes you happy and gravitate toward it.

(OK, I'm trying to do that myself so don't take my words as gospel.)

This was a really cool audition. For TOS. Inspirational stories. I liked this one story. After all, who likes the power or words more than a VO. I bet you were all over this audition Scott. Up your alley.

You guessed correctly, sir. I did jump on this and would LOVE to get it. Not only is it 'up my alley', but there were - what? - about 68 stories or so? Interesting that you and I picked the same one to submit, Colin! Nice read on your part, btw. Nice, soothing tones to it. And although I've pretty much quit submitting on the L&R thread (although I love to visit and hear others' stuff) here 'tis.........

I was hoping you'd post that. Trying to stir the pot a little here.

Nice "historical" sound on the characters. If I tried that, they would have sounded British.

Yes, on the face of it, it looks like a terrific gig but I fear it's a "promise of more work to come" scenario.

Scott's warm and fuzzy sage voice beats Colin's in your face sage voice. Take your time Colin...There is really no need to rush it. It's not a commercial that you have to fit into a 30 second spot.

Scott nice job....the only thing that I would be careful about is to make the sage and the angry man very different from each other. Think about how the characters are different. Picture a real person as the angry man...perhaps Bob Dole....(I know its funny but I'm actually being serious). He's not just a generic angry man. He is a unique person as all characters are. Also what does the sage look like? Jesus? Buddha? Your grandfather?.....Maybe Wayne Dyer? I find that this sort of in depth visualization affects my reads.

Excellent points, Deby. After I submitted it and relistened to it I did realize that the angry man and sage sounded way too similar. But thanks for the tips and for the kind comments. I said it in another forum; I intend to hang on to my 'warm and fuzzy' title until they pry it from my cold, dead hands!
