 Posted: Fri May 24, 2013 1:10 pm Post subject: Ella Whittam's first audiobook narration test |
 |
|
Ella's four years old now, so I figured we'd give VO another go now that she has a better attention span and impulse control. Other than the obvious "cute factor", and a few words dropped or not fully enunciated here and there, I think this might be a good start. It took about 10 minutes to record and 15 to edit and cleanup.
What do you guys think?

1) She's so adorable it should be against the law.
2) Her voice is the second cutest thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
3) She's ridiculously adorable.
4) I had to work pretty hard to understand a lot of what she's saying because... well.... because she's 4 years old
5) She's insanely adorable
6) She's actually ridiculously GOOD for a 4 year old! And better than some 40 year olds I've heard on some of the P2P sites!
7) Did I mention how adorable she is?

Get that girl working -- there's college to pay for, for cripe's sake!
She truly is adorable, and Ryleigh did her first few VO jobs when she was 4 (...I remember her first one was just giggling, and I had to stand next to her in the booth, poking her in the ribs and saying, "Scoooooooby Doooby DOOOOOO!" over and over...)

Damn. Seriously? Cutest thing I think I've ever heard.

Well, I hope you've built that into your session fee...

LOVE IT! I have my oldest's first demo from when she was 3. I wish I had had her read the same demo every year. Do that because the voice and pronunciation change so much as they get older.

"Uh-oh. Pete is stuck!" That to me sounds like she had fun right there
Pretty good reading for 4! And Mandy is right, what a great way to chronicle her growing up!

Not mine. I still sound pretty much as I did when I was 3.

Oh my! She is beyond adorable!!!!!!! I agree with the others -- I think you should have her continue to read the same copy every year... or every other year.
It must be fun to let her experiment with VO.
