    The winner did a great job but

    NOT EVEN A SINGLE FEMALE WON! THAT'S BS.

    I'm sorry but if you are going to have a contest you need to not just decide that the voice should be male or female and then ONLY allow those folks to win. Certainly a deep growling voice is what I would have picked for a commercial, but to have that ON EVERY SINGLE CONTEST WINNER?

    Not good, not good at all.

    However congrats to all who won anyway.

    I was hoping the winners would have more emotion. This was my entry for those that are curious.

    After a bit of thought I realized I was being too harsh. Its not like the contest judges are professionals at voice acting either. That doesn't excuse what happened, but I understand a bit. They wouldn't necessarily know the importance of allowing different voice types in.

    Actually, I don't think it was harsh. You were voicing your opinion and some of us happen to agree with it. But *shrugs*

    what I am curious about is if they really listened to all our submissions.

    They said over 200 submissions, so thats a few hours listening to the same lines over and over.. lol

    My mind is blown by the incredible quality of the dubs.
    My personal favourites are:

    Aqualin Riversong - Excalibur [Old man voice ftw!]
    Shuichi Shadowstar - Ridill [So much expression in the voice!]

    It depends on how the ladies decided to voice it their dub. Forcing the judges to pick ladies to be in the runner up just because we need both gender to be represented is BS, it would not be fair to begin with. It happens sometimes that a gender dominate, don't try to read sexism into it.

    I agree, I find that very sexist I'm am sure the female ones didn't sound like squeaky dolls. Not even one....

    I can see where they were going for their wanted voices.
    I had multiple ones recorded but I stuck with my "casual guy" voice.

    Or maybe I submitted my raspy war vet voice. I actually can't even remember.

    I knew I should have gone with my Movie Phone voice.

    I liked Aqualin's the best.

    It felt like it should have started with "Stay awhile, and listen..."
