    This is really annoying. x.X

    Unlike most auditions, I tell people to put their audition in one file per character. Saves a lot of time and space for me. But a lot of people tend to overlook that. >.>

    Here's mine: When people take multpile takes...and they all sound the same. What's the point if nothing's different in each take? Just a waste of my time.

    ;~; I feel like the problem is either people don't really have the time to cut out each take that sounds similar, or it's OCD setting in (ie; The inflection was a BIT different here). Often I do this, but I've been trying to limit myself to two takes per line, which usually helps.
    I'm usually okay with it, because I do it myself; but when I start getting 10+ takes, many which sound similar, then it starts to bother me.

    Yeah, it's probably my OCD. >.<

    I do that too, because it's both easier for the auditioner and myself to save and look through the files. x_x I also ask for the character name before the username when saving files because then it allows all the files for one character to be in one place. <-- sets files in alphabetic order. But then again, that one's not too big a deal. XD

    But it's really annoying when one-third of the people who audition don't do that. :/

    How is June 1st two weeks from today!? ><;;
    Ugh! I feel the same way, too! Yes, I tend to be forgetful, but when it comes down stuff like this, I can only blame myself.

    But, then again... R.L. things happen, right?

    I know this is crazy to say after 1500 posts, but I think I may actually have a new one here: getting recast in a production not because the producer dislikes your voice or your acting, or even because you missed a deadline, but because your voice is apparently harder to animate the lip flaps for.

    Don't ask me how that's possible. Maybe I have the world's lamest super-power. The world may never know.

    ...What? How is someone's voice harder to animate than another person's voice??

    They must just not be a very good animator...

    Travelling for most of the month, and then coming home to Jet Lag, which might just be the flu, so when a producer wants lines soon, I can't fucking do them because I'm too damn sick to do them.
