VA Pet Peeves

[Sera Phia]

I really don't know why this is bugging me so much, seeing as I'm not really affected because I'm not a producer, but...

Peeve: People who don't follow directions... Everyone has to audition the same way... If they'd actually read the first post of any thread they'd see that... It makes me feel like they think they're superior to everyone else so they don't need to audition the same way or something... >_<

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. :/

Facepalming at myself here producer-wise, but I have to say...

Severely messing up the due date for lines for an production by a large margin... And then jamming a fist into your head once someone contacts you about it. God, I'm an idiot...

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...

"Hey I'm holding an audition! E-mail me for the script!"

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.
