    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.
    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

    I may have only gotten runner-up, but thanks to everyone who seems to think I did a good job.
