Voice Acting Contest 7
Hey all you fine voice actors out there! Prove your skill and showcase your talent in Newground's 7th Voice Acting Contest! I know you all are probably wondering why FatKidWitAJetPak isn't starting this thread. Well, FatKid and Tom Fulp Have given me permission to take over the contest! So, the rules will be very similar, but even so, be sure to read the rules carefully for any minor changes. So... basically read the rules, check out how the judging works, and submit your awesomeness for prizes and recognition!
Contest Rules (PLEASE READ)
- Each entry needs to be a minimum of 2 minutes long and a maximum of 6 minutes long.
- Each entry must be about THE APOCALYPSE! Open your mind and think out of the box! Be creative! (It counts towards your score)
- Each entry must have at least 3 different voices.
- Each entry must be submitted by October 10th, 11:59PM EST
- Each entry can be any kind of genre.
- No one may help you with your entry. You must do everything by yourself.

- All entries must be sent to the NG audio portal. If you are banned, get a friend to submit it for you.
- Disobeying any rules will result in disqualification.
How To Submit
-All submissions MUST be submitted to the audio portal. As stated above, if you are banned, get someone else to submit it for you. (Note: If it is your first time submitting, there may be a delay for your skit to enter the portal so you might want to get that in early.)
-Once you have submitted the piece to the audio portal, copy the link and paste it into this thread. Once I see it, I will add it to the list.
-Please keep it between 2 and 6 minutes.
The Judging Process
Each entry will be judged per category. Each category has it's own point value. The total points will equal 100. After all points are added up, the more points you have, the higher place you will receive. (In case of a tie, I will break it). The categories are as follows:
Acting - The most important of all, YOUR ACTING! Your voice acting needs to sound like the character is actually in his or her situation. Try not to be monotone and dull. - 35 points
Range - How well each character sounds different from eachother - 20 points
Fit - How well each voice fits the character. *An old man would have a raspy voice and a big guy would have a deep voice, etc...* - 15 points
Originality - How original your skit was. Be creative! - 10 points
Mixing - Not all of us can afford a good mic, but please try to make your final production as high quality as possible! If your voice is fuzzy and staticy, the judges cant judge your voice as well. This also includes how you mix together your SFX and music. - 10
Writing- It's all good if you have great voice acting, but let's try and have your skit make sense! This doesn't mean you have to be another Hemmingway, but there should be some sort of structure to your skit. - 10

If you end up winning, here is what will happen!
1st Place - $60 Store Credit + Legendary Front Page!
2nd Place - $40 Store Credit + Freakin' Awesome Front Page!
