"__REVIEW FROM CONTEST__"

date: August 11, 2009

FINAL SCORE - 80 *averaged from all judges scores*

As soon as I entered this page on the audio portal, I said WOW because of how well you did the truckers voice. The length was juuusstt right because I started to not pay attention after the last second. I was laughing at every turn, especially at the part where he said he was a sandwhich. Thats original as hell. The story was interesting as well and it made me want to see this made into a flash cartoon. I thought you did a great job on making everyone sound different, but at some points I could tell that you still had the cops accent in you when you were trying to do the sandwhich. What I do to prevent this is record all the lines separately and then mix them together after I write out the story. Make sure to always pause after each line, or else you will make an accent mistake more often. A noticable error in this entry was that you needed a pop filter to prevent PBT sounds. Look up on google how to make a home made one, works every time. Faved.

COMMENTS: Like the main character being a sandwich. No noticeable mixing. Pronounced your P's to close to the microphone.

Original, that's the word I'm going to use to describe the overall feel of this one. The characters all sounded very different which made it even more interesting to listen to and even the title itself is clever. Something a couple of the other contestants didn't do that you did well was showing instead of simply telling. The introspection worked and your implementation of turtles is one of my favorites so far. The ending felt a little rushed but it worked because you ended with the word "turtle."

like an olive on a toothpick, AMTRAX91------>
You're a funny guy and your voice skills are excellent!
You made me laugh out loud SEVERAL times, Man.
This idea was COMPLETELY original. I mean, I've NEVER heard a story told by a freakin' sammich! The way you could just switch it back and forth was immaculate. Was that done in different clips or was that all-in-one? *pats you on the back for an amazing entry* I wish you the best of luck in the contest, AMTRAX91!

"This Trucker's Tale Has The Potential To Win..."

date: June 15, 2009

Despite he doesn't get eaten. Alright let's judge this thing.
Requirements: Met; Contest-eligible.

Acting: The acting was indeed superb although sometimes, I couldn't tell which cop was talking due to some monotone phases you had. Score: 9/10
Fit: The trucker did indeed sound like a stereotypical trucker (despite being a sandwhich). And the cops sounded like cops before they started to giggle and whinny like little school girls when they were allowed to see the turtles. Score: 9/10.
Range: Each voice was different, but like mentioned above some lines featured the cops to sound too similiar to distinguish. Score: 7/10
Originality: This story was indeed original and random (like it was pulled out of a penguin's ass kind of random), nevertheless priceless. Score: 10/10
Mixing: No sound except for your breathing was included in this storytime. just the way it should be. Score: 10/10.
