Audition/Line Critique Thread « Thread Started on Sept 30, 2009, 12:04am »
I came up with this idea today as I was checking my PM box and realizing how many people ask me for critique on auditions or ask where they can get some. So this thread will be a place for anyone who wishes to post their auditions and get feedback from others on what they should fix for a retake.
Please help keep this thread going by taking a moment to post a critique for someone else when you post your own auditions. Also, please be respectful!
I just wanna know how this would work, just so I know for the future, so just a question...Would we have to send a link or make some sort of reference on what projects we are auditioning for? you know, so that some members who are critiquing aren't confused on who they are supposed to be auditioning for (unless it's some popular character for a fandub or something, then I guess you'd only have to say the character's name and the show lol)

Some information is gonna be required of course... The character, the type of production, what type of voice did the producer asked for you to do, etc.
If you just give us the link and except a critique, you're gonna get ignored.
Don't even REPLY to that person, just ignore him/her.

I've been working on something similar in another thread (actually just released last night), but I think the fact that "Gordon Ramsey" is in the thread scared them off. Please critique the red and blue lines. :3

I suppose I will be the first to employ this thread.
Here is my audition for the character Spead the Hedgehog. He is an upcoming character in Smashtasm, the machinima. I thought I did a pretty good job on this audition despite the fact that I wasn't casted. I suppose since Smashtasm is a famous machinima, there was probably an auditioner who was simply better than me, but I really feel the need to get someone else's opinion on this. Maybe I'm deluding myself. XD http://www.box.net/shared/modg2cq12i Spead was supposed to be a pretty bizarre character, and I think Shippiddge described him as having a high-pithced voice as well.
And these are two of my auditions for a currently casting machinima entitled "NPC". http://www.box.net/shared/57ektvh9z7 The first character is supposed to be a young boy who is a pokemon trainer. The second is supposed to be your typical psychotic villain. When I sent these lines in, the director told me they were lacking in emotion. I couldn't really see what he meant (although maybe a bit for one line). This isn't usually a problem I have, so if anyone else can illuminate me, it'd be sweet. This audition is still up, so I'll probably be sending in redos, meaning feedback here would be especially appreciated!
...And we're talking uber-appreciation here. I can take any heat you throw at me, just tell me something.

LordoftheMorning: I dunno. I thought you did pretty good. I was laughing on the inside when I listened to the first one. The "yeahyeahyeahyeah" line really got to me.

That's EXATLY what he told me when I sent my audition in for it. xD

Well, what did you think about it? You should post yours up so I can hear it. =D
@afro: I'll just critique you so you can get some sort of feedback:
I don't know how Godot is really supposed to sound, and I haven't played Pheonix Wright, but I always pictured him being a little more gruff and sarcastic. If that were to be the case, you would want some of the lines to sound a little more contemptuous or joking. Of course, if the producer told you to be more smooth and shadowy, then who cares what I think. Again, I don't really know how Godot is supposed to sound, so I could be totally wrong about that. =P
Umm, I like how you paced yourself and didn't rush any lines, although some lines might have been only slightly too slow. I'd say it's a good audition, though. If you didn't get the part it'd be because the producer was just looking for a different type of voice.

That was... pleasantly insightful.
Thanks for the words. I'll talk to the producer and see what she thinks.
But before that, I think I should repay the favor and review your stuff. First, I have to say that your rhythm is nice and briskly paced. Neither rushed or sluggish, you found the perfect niche in speed. Your voice is quite fitting for the spastic Spead, the generic Pokeman trainer and that evil dude, and you have a good enough range to pull them all off distinctly.
I think my only gripe comes up with the pokeman trainer, but it's nothing major. I think maybe he's a little too reserved for someone who's lines make him sound like an obsessive tweaker. You've put in a lot of enthusiasm for him, but maybe even more would help?
Aaaaaaaannnnndddd... that's about it. Nothing else to say except that you're pretty damn good. Or "darn" good, if you might prefer.

Here are my audition lines for Hojo in a Final Fantasy Dub. I did more auditions, but Hojo is the character I really hope I land. I'm aware he's around fifty years old, so I'm not sure if I got the right voice type for it. I did three takes for each of the three lines, in a medium to high voice as asked. I realize I should have used a more "I'm an expert." tone for the first line... which is something I will work on. I think I did the more insane lines all right. I'm rather fond of the third take in the second line.
