Sent in the new Peri files, and a friend's audition for Grace's assistant.

EDIT: I might try for Old Leela--and are there any female Movellans?

Don't get me wrong, I was really impressed by your audition. But the Mentor's voice sounded a bit too... gargly, I suppose? Send me another audition, if you like.

Just answered you in email form to that.

There's a female Movellan on pages 144 and 171.

OK, I'll record him again and lose the gargle. Should I also raise the voice pitch a touch as well?

Just a smidge. I recall he had this screechy quality to his voice; a bit of a rasp. Anyone care to help me out here?

I just remember him as gargley <g> but when he yelled he got higher pitched as sort of a scream - I think all he does is yell in the comic. I guess the gargles would make him hard to understand in the version not hooked up with the video.

Having watched all of Trial of a Time Lord recently, i can say that the Thoros Betans, were an odd bunch of voices... Sil does have a gurgley quality to his voice, whereas the older Mentor had a raspy quality (the actor went on to play Sontaran General Staal in New Who)

so i reckon it could be somewhere in the middle...

Incidentally: Arraitchgee, can you give me some feedback on my Sontaran audition?

Oh yes, sorry! I had forgotten about the Sontaran. I like it, but not for General Hazyx. For Hazyx I was leaning towards a General Staal impression. However I do think it will work for the lower-down members of the Sontaran military, so if you could shoot me another audition reading some of their lines? Thanks.

I can work on a Staal impression aye, just thought id give it something different. Ill have a crack at that and some other Sontarans.

Here we go, second crack at the Mentor ambassador. Less gargle, more rant. Two versions; 'natural' voice and one with the pitched raised a little.

I've never seen that particular alien, but i like the second voice. By the way, does anyone know of a good freeware voice changer/ ring modulator?

I use Audacity, its free from what i recall (d/l'd it yonks ago), and has tons of features.

Not that I'm in any way involved in the project (even if I weren't chicken, I don't really know how to record on my computer - and my British accent is probably not the best...), but I concur with Cleverest Name that the second one sounds closer (and I have seen the Thoros Betans/Mentors :wink:

). You have skillz, my friend.

More fun with voices; I decided to have a go at recording the exchange between Sabalom Glitz and Mel during their arrival at Terminus in Chapter Two. I like the way this turned out.

grrr... i wish i wasnt at work so i could listen to these new tracks!!

I wish so too- they are fun to listen to!

(also like the 2nd try - raised voice - best for Mentor, if you're looking for 3rd-4th opinions <g>)

I thought your Glitz and Mel bit was fun - obviously you're not auditioning for the Nyssa or Terminus operator bit, as that was blurred beyond recognition. I thought it was Linus's teacher there for minute
