Frog Raccoon Strawberry: The Animated Series
LukeTheVA for Josh Lotor
Josh is a good guy. He's the leader of a band called "Rugburn Samurai" and he's the on-again-off-again love interest of Strawberry Fields. He wants to win Strawberry's affection but fails to see that she only sees herself as a frog and not a raccoon. He can be a bit emotional and tends to cry at the slightest hint of rejection. Despite that, he's still a nice kid.
[You just found out that your best friend has been telling the girl that has a crush on you to stay away from you. You're borderline pissed off] "What was all that business about Strawberry having to stay away from me, Marco?"
[You just got rejected by a girl that you've had a crush on, on Valentine's day. You're trying to recuperate but the tears start to flow.] "Okay, Strawberry. Maybe Next Time. I've got to get back to band practice. We're an Emo band and I'm properly miserable now..."
[You just got through showing some demos to your band after being dumped twice by two different girls. The band loves the demos and asks for your secret. In a depressed tone, you give a straight answer] "Well... Ever since my luck with girls has gone so sour, I've been absolutely miserable, you see..."
Okay, there are a few bits of criticism that I hope you take to heart. First off, I noticed that you still have a bit of an accent with most of your lines. I understand how that can't be helped. Second, I think his voice is a bit too "high" for Josh. As for the reads on lines 2 and 3, I feel like they're a bit too soft and quiet. Also, I noticed some background noise in the recordings. I've mentioned this in another audition, but I highly recommend getting a Blue Yeti Microphone for clearer sound. I hope this helps.
I actually did the accent on purpose because I looked at the character design and thought "This guy should have a kinda a silly-ish voice but not too silly." So no, that is not how I sound in real life. As for the recording itself, I'm from a family with a not-so-great income, so this is the best you'll get until my situation changes and I didn't hear any background noise when I heard it. It could have been a vehicle going down the street since I recorded this in my room and there's a window next to it so that's what you may have heard. If you want me to try this again with a different voice, I'll gladly oblige! This was just how I thought the character should sound based on the character design.
