wow, going against some awesome reads from Kent and John. Great production too, John!
Something a little different for me, but gave it a shot.

OK... It's probably not important enough for anyone to comment on and I understand that, but this was a big deal to me.

Got an audition request from another source (indicated by the file name to the well initiated.)

They asked for the submitees to imitate the following link saying...

Lee....Yes thank goodness for Sissy....Here is another female announcer.
They asked for a sports type announcer.http://www.youtube.com/watch?

Very Happy

Here's another lead where they asked for a "male voice" They didn't have the instrumental downloadable so not many people auditioned for this Sammy Hagar jingle. I did though.

I'm pretty sure this is in A minor.....Am I right????

Colin - here is my attempt at the "sports featurett"- - Although the 60s spot has a lot of words and needs a much faster read - that would result in a loss of the sports cadence here... or copy edit... anyway - here tiz... Wink

Deby:

The chorus of "Why Can't This Be Love?" is in a Major key. It may be in A but I'm not sure. (If I had my keyboard out of the crate, I could tell you)

Your vocal certainly sounds like a Major key.

Okay, I'll play the "Jim Crawford" game.
Rather than throw out my opinions, I'd be interested in hearing from others which of us came closest to the YouTube announcer style.

OK, this is one I got yesterday. I asked Colin "Bat Ears" Campbell to critique my Wilma Flintstone and asked him if I was delusional to submit this. He told me to go for it. I don't like how I said "in the kitchen", and I also think Wilma's register is a bit lower--but, oh, well--it's too late now.

Lee, you are my best/worst critic-- so let's hear it!

Cira:

If you're going for the original voice of Wilma Flintstone (Jean Vander Ply) the one you have now is too sweet and inviting to my ear. The original was a lot more nasal and with much harder 'R's, almost breaking 'Fred' into two sylables. Add a little bit of Alice Cramden to what you've got now, and I think you'll have it. (The Flintstones was loosely based on The Honeymooners anyway)

Now that's if they want the original Wilma Flintstone. They might want something similar, only more appealing in a new voice for Wilma. But with such a pleasant voice as yours, Fred may never want to leave the cave! Wink
