We Dub Winners

[Punainen]

Well, deep voices seem to fit overall narrative. A female voice would be pretty good if the trailer had been told from the perspective of a female character. Or as part of a compilation of quotes from different characters to represent different perspectives. Context is also important.

If there was a lot of time left for them to do so, I'd suggest that SE make a trailer from the perspective of each of the three leaders of the grand companies. Then you can get character variety and give more people the chance to share their talent.

PS: Almost forgot. Congrats to the winner and runners up. Good entries.

I understand that completely, and even agree...but it still means I didn't stand a chance.

You clearly don't know what sexism is. Quit trolling

I want to congratulate the winners and thank all the participants. Wish I had the guts to do the same. Special congrats to Aniero Grigori from the Gamer Escape crew on his runner up position. Glad there was someone who made the cut who had some verifiable experience in VO.

Congrats to the winners. the grand prize winner is impressive. It have my respection. Yes respection.

OP, I totally agree with you only because I listened to all of the entires that were posted beforehand and the only ones REMOTELY good were female. I supposed that there were many more talented entries sent in that were not posted to the discussion thread. WHOOPS! I was so wrong. The winners were announced and they were from among the worst sounding entries previously posted. They said they had a hard time judging and obviously the approach they used to judge was "copy the horrible sounding trailer as close as possible" so there you go. No treats for the rep team animals!

I think I remember your entry. It was twice as good as the grating sound of male rednecks imitating an Eorzean pirate.

EDIT: Nay, thrice as good.

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't stand a chance either, as my voice is nowhere near adequate for that type of narration.

I remember one person commenting that someone's dub almost made them cry because of being close to tears. and yes it was frankly terrible. I know mine wasn't great and again I never expected to win but I did expect a variety of different people.

If someone isn't deemed good enough, it isn't sexist...

[Neptune]

I'm just going to come out and say that I think it would've been interesting if the criteria for choosing was "what makes an interesting sounding trailer" rather than something that would only sound pleasing to the ears after beer 19 at a monster truck rally.
