A voice for Tea Voice Audition

[zolen]

As I have given it plenty of time, with no reaction from Basser, I am forced to take it as her being to inactive to play her lines, so I ask anyone who believes they can be somewhat active to attempt the lines of Tea.

Any Auditions for the lines will turn to voting 3 days after the second submission, or stop as soon as up to 4 voices apply.

[Jay]

Hullo. I'd be willing to help out. I do not know how my voice sounds recorded (speaking, at least), but I'll give it a try. Where should I put the audition once I make it?

[GK Sierra]

Probably just host it on a site and post a link. If you want to stream it live you can use divshare. If you just want a copy people can download and listen to on their own computers, filedropper would probably be good.

Both are free, and only one makes you do registration longer than a minute or so.

[Jay]

haha oh sorry I should have been clearer. I know where I can host it and that, but should I just stick it in this thread or in the auditions thread or...?

[GK Sierra]

Stick it in whatever thread tickles your fancy. There are quite few posts in this half of the board nowadays, it shan't get lost.

[Jay]

Well I'm not sure what I was going for but here's something

Hope I pronounced things correctly and like I wrote in the description:
Here I am just speaking as if reciting for a class or informative show. If I need more inflections or emotion, please tell me.

[zolen]

It's marked as private :/

[GK Sierra]

That was very clear and precise, which strikes me as exactly Tea's style. I'm not a pro voice coach or anything, but I think if you could maintain that tone throughout all your lines it would be great.

I know when I'm reading long passages sometimes my voice gets a little monotone ala Robby the Robot, although it helps when you're reading something you're interested in.

edit: All I was able to listen to was a sample. Do you have the whole thing on there somewhere?

Here it is again. I'm not sure what happened last time. Also it was only the lines on this page

[zolen]

Hm, try to put a muffle around the mic if possible is my only really request, there is a heck of a lot of background noise in that.


If your interested in how I imagine Tea:
I always sort of imagined her like the happy go lucky voiced 3rd grade teacher trying to make basic or boring information as "fun" sounding as possible, though that is just a generic thought.

[Jay]

Alright. I recorded it on a laptop, but I can try to stick it in a pile of towels or something. I'm not sure where the mic is on it, but I'll fiddle around. Thank you for the input!

[zolen]

any luck

[Jay]

I'm not sure. Did you want another one up here with new attempts?

[zolen]

Yes, clean recording is nice

[Jay]

Well here is one where I stuck it in some towels and turned the recording volume down. I really see what you mean now with the noise. There is still some static I think, but I'm pretty sure the sound quality is better (not so sure if the rest is)

Okay I did not expect a auto reply, but as there is only one person applying for tea, I am tempted to just call this over and use jays attempt. So that I can get this started and over, Good with anyone who happens to look at this?

[Jay]

If I really am going to voice Tea, and this isn't just an audition, is that sample good enough? Is there anything I need to improve on?

Anyone else who wanted to, please come up! If you really want to, I think you should give it a try too. (I mean look at your competition :I)

[zolen]

Forgive me my internet was down, but I plan to start and finish sep 4th when my internet hopefully will be stable enough, so if you can get anything you think is a better try by then, then sure.
