By Gully, that was fun! 09/05/2011
 Gully (and boredom) inspired artwork I recently found out that Edge Studio holds a weekly contest to keep voiceover artists on their toes. They post a script from some area of v/o - commercial, audiobook, industrial, etc - and submission guidelines. Then they listen to all the submissions, provide general feedback and select a few winners (awarding prizes such as free classes and coachings!) Anyway, I decided to jump in and give it a try this past week. It was a fun little animation script, and although I have little (ok, zero.) animation experience I have logged many hours watching cartoons and reading aloud a variety of children's books (occupational hazard) ... so I decided to give it a shot. Well, as beginners luck would have it, I came in 4th place out of quite a few a few talented submissions! (even get a sweet little prize) Thought I would share my submission. Hopefully this is a good sign of more fun animation things to come! Here are the directors notes and my submission. Please excuse the ad at the beginning, it's a small price to pay for free audio hosting. We're casting the voice of Gully the Seagull, for a new Saturday morning cartoon on Discovery Kids. Gully is very interesting: Gully has a huge attitude and is always getting into trouble with other birds at the beach. The other birds would describe Gully as bossy, overly confident and as impatient as they come. But while Gully may be rude, Gully is also fun and knows how to have a good time! 1 Comment |
