Read lacks energy?
My audition is the last rejected one at http://voicebunny.com/projects/1-soul-hunters
I went for a non-movie-trailer sound with this one to give the client a different option. I don't think it has any less energy than the accepted submissions. Am I missing something, or does "energy" really mean "movie trailer sound" in this case?

HI Frasier,
I have to agree with the QA team on this one. Your read did not make me feel excited to play the video game. You sounded like you didn't really care if I liked the game at all. It's not about having that typical "movie trailer" sound, it's about using your voice in a way that's engaging and exciting. Maybe this video can shed some light on the topic: http://bit.ly/1uH7mbo. Have you done any improv or acting classes?
I see what you're saying—I guess I put myself in the mindset of a narrator instead of the gamer, and it didn't come out quite right. Did you listen to all the accepted ones, though? Some of them don't sound exciting either.
