Weird Test Assignment

My first test assignment was normal but it didn't give enough information about noise-floor requirements so I failed because I didn't have that technical requirement. As I said in another post, I narrate audiobooks so what VB calls hiss or noise, we call room tone and it's normal - it's mostly undetectable as long as it's consistent.

So I asked for reconsideration, thinking I'll just lower the noise floor, remove all breaths and nail it.

Only this time they added a new wrinkle. It's an IVR that's supposed to sound like a child. Why? I did put child on my profile because I narrated a first-person present tense memoir with an 11-year-old boy as protagonist. It sells and gets good reviews, so I thought, I can do that. But IVR? Seriously? If it were a real assignment I'd reject it because it's just strange.

Also, "child is anywhere from 2 years old to a teenager - a huge range. How can I know what they were going for or if I achieved it? Why would you want a toddler recording your IVR?

For what it's worth, here it is:

I don't even know what age it sounds like or more importantly what age it's supposed to sound like, just young, childish.

Anyway, FAILED again.

I'm getting very skeptical and annoyed with this process, as I'm sure you can tell.

Again, VB could raise the success rate way above 2% by giving better technical requirements and normal assignments that make sense. And again, then they couldn't claim to be super selective, rejecting 98%, so that won't happen.

Here is a context in which I would perform as a child - when it's called for as the age of a character in a story. I'm a voice actor, I can approximate many ages genders and even some accents, but I don't do impersonations. I'm not trying to fool anyone. Listeners already know it's one actor doing all the voices.  I wouldn't take a job calling for a young kid's voice in a promo or whatever.  If that's what's called for, then get a kid actor or a woman, like Bart Simpson.

I don't have time to waste on unclear, vague or bizarre tests. At this point, I would need to be shown that Voicebunny.com has more respect for my time before I'd consider working with them.
