rejection..not mature enough
hi...i'm new to voicebunny and i thought i'd just get some more feedback to try and learn faster :)
this rejection said:
Rejection reason: If you listen to the presentation they attached, the voice is more serious, mature. This sounds like a young person trying to fake sounding older. Too much "announcer" voice. It's not natural sounding.
i'd love to share the sample.. but i don't know how! lol :)

Hey Aaron!
I'd be happy to give it a listen, but from what the QA Team said, it sounds like you should shoot for "young adult male" projects and don't try to force your voice to sound older. Many newcomers try to imitate guys like Don LaFontaine or those guys with big, deep, epic voices. Yeah, those guys are great, but it's only a small fraction of the voice over work out there. Most of our clients want a natural, conversational, "non-announcer" type of read. So work on finding out what type of projects you're best suited for. Read a lot of stuff and get feedback from other voice actors. If you want, you can upload the sample to dropbox or google drive and post the link here. :)
