NEWGROUNDS! THE TIME HAS COME! THE VAC IS BACK - AND IT'S PACKING PUNCHES!
Some year and a half ago the last Voice Acting Contest was hosted by @Pingu, giving all Newgrounds voice actors - myself included - a chance to step up into the spotlight. And because of the amazing results, and the awesome opportunity for actors of any standing to prove their mettle, VAC14 is here for you to take up the glove and prove you gots what it takes!
The 14th Voice Acting Contest will be a three-round knock-out affair focusing primarily on acting skills. You will receive a transparent overview of the judging criteria, which besides acting will include second tier scoring categories in writing and audio quality, and tertiary categories in creativity. Submissions will be expected to be short and sweet, audio only, with team efforts allowed. Each round will have its own theme for the contestants to stick to, so to maximize your chances of winning, try and stick as close to that as possible. Feel free to enlist the aid of others to ensure a well-voiced cast, gripping writing and top notch production skills - it's up to you and your team to divide the winnings evenly should you make it to final three.
Round 1 will start on Friday April 1st, where all contestants will get one week to submit their best acting effort for a place in the second round. After the judges, chosen primarily from the NG VA Collab, have cast their vote, the first selection of candidates will be invited to participate in round 2 and we'll repeat the process for round 3. A full overview of the planning as well as the scoring criteria will be made available when the theme for the first round of vocal combat is announced!
Prize money is starting at a total of $175, with $100 going to the first place winner of the third round, $50 to second place and $25 to third place.
If you feel like taking a stab at this, use the time up until April 1st to gather your production team if you think you can use the help. If you want to contribute to the prize money - whether it's in cold hard cash or in other rewards - please get in touch with me, LuckyDee, directly.
Until round one starts, you will see this contest being publicized through any conceivable means to try and reach as many contestants as possible. If, like me, you want to see what this community has to offer, feel free to share this contest on whatever socials you are active on. Sure, it will mean competition will grow stiffer, but just imagine how good it will feel to show all those people who's boss and come out on top of the acting food chain!
Take this opportunity to start your preparations, stay tuned for further instructions and get ready to land some blows!
