Never saw the WWII thing. Also had to do it anyway- Thanks for posting it Steve.

I did the world war II narration in American English -- w/o background music.
and here's my version of the retirement spot as well

..and by the way, Diane, the original version of the Chock Full O' Nuts coffee song ended with the words:
"better coffee Rockefeller's money can't buy."
That didn't last long, because the Rockefeller family objected.
So they went with millionaire. Now it's billionaire.
And there are no nuts anywhere in the brew!

Deby:

Couldn't get my delivery just right on the 'portionables' audition, so I left it alone. Your effort wasn't bad if it had come from somebody else, but I know the Magic Ms. Cedars has a better one in her. Wink

To all the WWII Video Game Guys:

That must have been a TOS lead. I never saw it here. It's a toughie to strike the right balance on that one. I was thinking if I had the chance on it, to make it sound like an old time radio transmission (weak, crackly) from overseas, a la Edward R Murrow or Walter Cronkite's delivery on "The 20th Century" (anybody remember that show?)

Anyway one came up today that's more my style for a couple of reasons. I've always loved trivia and a couple of years ago I actually made it on to the daytime version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire with Meredith Vieira. What a great experience that was. I'd encourage anybody interested to audition.

WoW guys...really nice stuff posted here!
COLIN: Loved your take on the WWII piece. Nice touch!
TRAVIS: Your version is great, too. Kinda sounds like the "NFL" VO
ROBERT: YOU are a KILLER! Great production too!
MICHAEL: Nice touch on the retirement spot. I should've used that 'big band' sound on mine. I like yours better...

My take on retirement (I got a 5 on it, but no word yet...)

OK... couldn't resist. WWII as a "War correspondent...."

Here's my Carls JR.

***side note** I wonder who does the voice for "GoodTimes", a hamburger place out here in Colorado that has been running some great TV ads lately.

An audition they didn't bargain for. When I get a hair....

This was the LA driving/cryogenics piece from tonight. I was in a mood so I did it up....

And you did it up just right Colin! I had to listen carefully to even recognize your voice. Excellent touch.

Great work from everyone so far. But I'm still stuck on the coffee jingles. Sorry, caffeine is my passion. Crying or Very sad

I post because mine couldn't be more different than yours, Colin.
16 million voice actors -- 16 million different takes.

..and my Carl's Junior trivia promo for good measure.

I guessed Montpelier. Do I get free Carls Jr burgers shipped to me on the east coast? Wink

Colin Campbell · Posted: Thu May 22, 2008, 06:08 (GMT) Post subject:

I got a 4 star out of an average of 4.5 on LA/Cryogenics.

I'm speechless. Not that I'm dissapointed but I truely don't know what to say about it. It's such a wild ride.

I shouted it out when I heard the question...

As Allison says, it is MOST DEFANITELY Montpelier.

Known it since I was a kid.

How about Wyoming?
