I'm seeking audition recordings for the part below. A full explanation can be found at this topic.



Gossiper
147th Cheesemonger was happily strolling along. He was distracted, you see, because the night before, 98th Negotiator had said -
and you realize, of course, that she was a terrible gossip... In fact, when she was young, people used to joke they'd have to start a new job, Gossiper, just for her.

One pepperpot voice coming up! And if you don't know what I mean by pepperpot, then you, sir, have been tragically deprived of Monty Python. I weep for your soul.

Actually, I had to crank the volume up a lot so I could hear anything... (that's not much of a problem *unless* I forget to crank it down afterwards as I'm wont to do, especially late at night - where blasting music two or three times as loud as normal might upset the neighbours just a bit... )

May I suggest either adjusting your recording levels, moving closer to the mike or at least making use of your recording software's "normalize" function after recording?

Other than that, not bad - although I wonder if some of the sounds you can hear in the background couldn't/shouldn't have been avoided...

I guess I could dig up my headset that came with UT2004 and give it a try as well...

Could you please compress? That is bigger than all three Odd Jobs put together!

Actually, if you don't compress, then you can't qualify. So I suggest putting that in a .zip

I see you're ignoring all advice Briareos gave you and Erik included in the rules for posting voices.

Specifically,

ErikH2000 wrote:
You can also use WAV if you put the file in a ZIP or RAR archive so people can download it easily.

and Briareos' note to add file extensions to the files. Makes opening them easier...

Hehe. But that's only 5 decibels...no one will mind

...or did you mean x3 decibels?

Well, I was going with the old "(sample values * 2) == +6 dB" audio software metric, which would probably make that 6*(1+sqrt(2)) dB - which should be somewhere around 10 dB (aka 1 bel) unless I botched it...

But then again I'm no audio engineer or the like...

Here's my take. I'm only doing this to show off different parts of my voice (I don't honestly expect to get this role, obv).

Okeydokes...I've got three versions to post. Here's the first, I'm calling it "Coffee Tawk Lady."

I'm using a $10 mic and I'm pretty much in the clueless experimental stage, so if the quality is below par, please let me know and I'll see if I can do better. Thanks!

And finally...the old "Clothes-pin-on-the-nose" gimmick. I think I might have been a bit too close to the mic on this one...

I hope my lame attempts at using a mic are go over better than say, a tone deaf person in a karaoke bar...

I plan to come back to this one with a male voice, since the only female voice I can do is a Screaming Olive Oil.
