[ - - - CALLING ALL VOICE ACTORS - - - ]
If you are a voice actor and want to try proving your skills here on Newgrounds, then you should totally join the 6th voice acting contest. We have had some really awesome talent show up in every contest, and had some real fun in the thread. In each contest I create a simple and specific list of rules that everyone must follow while creating their own voice acting skit. Read the rules below! I am sure you will be able to be really creative with the criteria.
[ - - - IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ENTER THIS CONTEST, READ THE RULES BELOW - - - ]
- Each entry needs to be a minimum of 2 minutes long and a maximum of 6 minutes long.
- Each entry must be about WINTER. This can be about Christmas, snowmen, a man going on a quest to capture the candycane princess, a depressed gingerbread man wishing he had more of a point in life that feeding people, and lots lots more. Be creative!
- Each entry must have at least 3 different voices.
- Each entry must be submitted by Janurary 10th, 11:59PM
- Each entry can be a comedy or a serious skit, but they must be your own material or a parody.
- No one may help you with your entry. You must do everything by yourself.
- All sounds effects and music must be royalty free. No copyright material is allowed.
- All entries must be sent to the NG audio portal. If you are banned, get a friend to submit it for you.
- Disobeying any rules will result in disqualification.
[ - - - NOW YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CREATE AN AWESOME VOICE ACTING SKIT! - - - ]
After reading these rules, you should know all you need to know... assuming you know how to voice act and everything lol. Remember, all entries must be based oaround something WINTERY. Like I said before, you can be real creative when it comes to the theme of WINTER. If I were entering this contest, I would make a skit about a man who has to suffer the holiday season, going to work acting all depressed and wishing he was dead. You can really stretch this theme into something creative.
We have had people send seperate MP3 files to download because they are either banned or are waiting for approval for submitting audio to the portal. THIS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED IN THIS CONTEST. These entries are usually lost, forgotten, or judged bitterly. We judges do not want to have to deal with that uggghhhhh. If you are entering this contest, PLEASE submit it to the audio portal. If you can't get a friend to do it.
When it comes to adding music and sound effects to your entry, please use non copyrighted material. Garageband has some wonderful sounds to use and most of the entries here use it. You can also use any sounds or music from the audio portal, but you must credit the author! Also, keep in mind that we usually love it when people make the sound effects with their mouthes... but sometimes this is simply not a good thing to do if a skit is trying to be serious. If you are making a comedy, however, mouth made sound effects can really spice things up IF DONE RIGHT. You don't have to make mouth made sound effects, but if you can by all means do!
[ - - - THIS IS HOW YOUR ENTRIES WILL BE JUDGED - - - ]
Each entry will be judged like so:
Acting - The most important of all, YOUR ACTING! Your voice acting needs to sound like the character is actually in his or her situation. Try not to be monotone and dull. - 35 points
Fit - How well each charecters voice fit with their being. *An old man would have a raspy voice and a big guy would have a deep voice. e.t.c.* - 25 points
Originality - How original your story was. Be creative! - 15 points
Range - How well each character sounds different from eachother - 15 points
Mixing - Not all of us can afford a good mic, but please try to make your final production as high quality as possible! If your voice is fuzzy and staticy, the judges cant judge your voice as well. - 10
[ - - - THESE ARE THE PRIZES - - - ]

Prizes are subject to go up by the way! If we get any donators, that'd be awesome! These prizes are most likely coming out of my own pocket because Tom Fulp is really busy this year. I will send him a PM and see where it goes. He has sponsored the previous contests and paid the prizes, so he deserves a break!
[ - - - IF YOU WANT TO JUDGE IN THE CONTEST READ THIS - - - ]
We ALWAYS need judges, preferably a maximum of 5. Any more judges and this contest would take a lot longer to... well judge. Please note that if you do want to be a judge, results will be expected in ONE WEEK. Any longer and you will be disqualified as a judge.
If you would like to judge, send me a wholesome PM and I will explain to you the simple step by step process.
[ - - - THANKS FOR READING! - - - ]
Thanks guys! I really hope to see a lot of you voice actors in this contest. These are always enjoyable, and the thread usually gets pretty quirky and hilarious. The last contest was turned into a 13 page voice acting loungue while waiting for the results lol. BUT, please try to keep that lounging to a minimum. We dont want a mod coming in here screaming at us, but then again non of the audio mods really give a shit. Sequenced will probably be in here posting random pictures before long. Man I love the audio forums.
Just to clarify, THE DEADLINE IS JANURARY 10th 11:59PM. No exceptions
Well guys, good luck. If you need any help feel free to PM me. Let's get this contest started!
