Terry,

Thanks. If this were the actual submission would you read the entire commercial or just a part of it as you did here? What’s your take on watermarking your auditions?

Cheers.

I like the idea of three different deliveries, but will the average client listen to all three?

  Hi Peter,
  
  From my experience, clients prefer more than one take.

This may come off as a wee bit unpopular but the reads you exampled, though varied all seemed deadpan and probably wouldn’t land a gig. The concept was great but how about reading like it was a real audition? For a young voice actor (as in new, not age) tehy may get the imppression that the reads you exampled would be sufficient. In my years in the military we were taught “train as you fight, fight as you train”. Everything is as it was for real, no dress rehersals. Just my humble opinion.

I was always taught, train how you fight– US Army. This may seem unpopular but the examples you gave will probabbly have the cliaent pass to the next canidate. The reads were mundane and ig we are training future talent every read should be a job winner, despite changes in delivery. A young artist (new) might think the reads were fine, and be misled. When you are teaching, everything is relevant. The teacher must be aware of everyone in the audience and i think that particular mark was missed.
