"Will Work For Legos"

Once again, my children have outshined me... and I'm so proud! It's a spot for the Philadelphia Zoo (from TOS). I auditioned and so did two of my kids... they got the gig... but not Daddy-o! Laughing

My boy (who already knows what lego set he wants to get with the money) had 2 lines and my daughter (who is likely to add to her growing Webkinz collection) had 1. Not sure which takes they'll use, but here's what we sent...

I like the way they gave each take a little variation. There are some grown-up voice over peple who can't do that. Cool

I hope your kids are paid-up Voice123 members with their own premium accounts. Apparently Voice123 frowns on "3rd party" auditions. Evil or Very Mad

My nephew, who has been a Lego fanatic for years, is now 13 and probably at an age that he would no longer be impressed that his uncle did a VO for Lego a couple of weeks ago. (I did one for them about 5 years ago and my nephew watched the tape over and over again). Fortunately, they pay in cash, not plastic building blocks. Smile

Congrats to your kids, Dave!! I actually auditioned for that gig, I think... but no one does it better than an actual child!!

What better way to get new Legos and Webkinz???

Yes, congrats to your VO-kins!

And it is a good thing that was a Voices lead, too. As Lee mentioned, we get wrist-slapped here for such brazen use of our accounts!

And they just reposted the grandmother role for that gig there -- guess they didn't get the genuine 60ish sound they wanted. From their direction, they wanted real, real, and more real for this. I suppose they didn't like the canned grandma Tweety bird voice I'll bet they got lots of.

Treat those little treasures well now; they may be able to help you out some day. They already have!

I thank you and my kids thank you!

Lee - They take direction ver well.. but only for a limited time... gotta catch 'em in the right mood. Very Happy

Allison - Let me know if you hear it.

John - Right back atcha!

Caryn - I'm sure you were the next best thing to actual kids! Did you try the mom role or announcer role?

Diane - Help me out someday? They're helping me RIGHT NOW! Laughing

Those toys can be spendy!

Those "grandparent" roles are tough unless they want the cartoon stereotype.

Thanks again everyone!!!
