Round 1 - Theme: Scooby Doo

Wow, have to say, it felt like I just watched an episode of Scooby Doo. Each line you delivered showcased Velma intelligent, curiosity and concern perfectly. The variation between both "Jinkies" was icing on the cake.

Phenomenal! The highlight was by far ‘signed…the Phantom Shadow’ EXACTLY what I was looking for in this character. Your final line fell short in my opinion when stacked up against your first two but you should sail through either way!

This was one of my favorite takes this round among others. It had vibes of the original but more importantly I could absolutely hear this in a future Scooby Cartoon. It reminded me of the younger Pup Named Scooby Doo version of Velma. AWESOME!

Great work on sounding like the Shaggy we're all familiar with. However, I felt like the voice permanently stayed in the high range, and it seemed to restrict you from getting any real emotion and acting out.

One of the most dead-on impersonations of the actual Shaggy voice here, so congrats on that. You may have spent a little too much time debating the voice quality and not really capturing the emotion behind the lines. The third line was flat to me.

I heard here almost spot on Shaggy. Great work! There were many points in the lines that seemed to drop emotionally. Voice was a good part but the emotions/inflections are what are needed for the sale.

You had solid acting and sufficient emotion and energy to sell the character. But many parts were very slow in pace, which didn't seem to fit Shaggy's character. The beginning of Line 2 was the best part for me.

Watch the mic skills as like a few other contestants there were audible ‘puffs’ and the like. Your third line was better than most who chose that line but something about the performance overall just didn’t work for me. Wish I could tell you why though.

I noticed some puffing in the mic. Try standing back. Some of the inflections are a bit off at the end of sentences. I liked it seemed to lack in areas as far as overall performance.

Can't help but think I just listened to the real Shaggy. Getting the spot on voice is one thing, but to carry it with the fluid acting is another. The crescendo towards the high broken voice "out of a cartoon" was pure gold.

So this must be why you are getting so many votes as the finalist to win this whole thing! LOVED the way you ended the second line, the switch in octave for the voice was perfect. My only nitpick was the last line as it seemed to trail off a bit.

Simply Put, AMAZING! I liked the vibes, acting, inflections and emotions presented here. It was close to the original but not trying to hit the actual cords but has your own vocal spin to it. Overall great job.

Superb acting. Really brought out Daphne's personality with her energy and spunk. However, I felt some inconsistency in the voices. Line 1 sounded older than the others. And Line 3 sounded like it was recorded further away.

The first line was perfect in my opinion. However, it seemed that all three lines were using slightly different voices here especially if you compare the first with the third. I think both are spot on but maybe some inconsistency here between them.

I had gotten enough of the emotions and vibes from it to say it was close in feeling of the character. It was a little inconsistent in areas between lines as far as the voice however.

You varied your acting really well to bring out Shaggy's personality. The voice was a nice mixture of old and new. If I'm going to give any advice, maybe you could up the energy and liven up the character even moreso.

There was really nothing wrong with any of these lines but there was also nothing that made me stop and say to myself “He nailed it with that line”. Again a unique take and natural delivery but I don’t agree with all your inflection choices here.

Nice original take on the character. Some of the inflections were a little off. I think it seemed like you were almost slipping out of character at points mostly in the 2nd line. But I enjoyed the different approach.

The voice totally fit Velma. I felt Line 3 captured her personality the best. The others could've had more confidence, since that come from her intelligence. Also, quicker in the delivery wouldn've been good.

Voice may have been actually easier to associate with the character than Shleepers but there were parts of each of your lines where I feel you fell a little flat. The second line was perfect for example until the last four words. Still very good overall.

Had a much closer voice for this role, sounded more like Velma with the meek/shy nature of her character. However some of the lines felt a little emotionless and flat. Not bad overall.

Not sure if it's a side effect of you being sick, but the nasally young voice helped bring Velma to life. Line 3 had the most spunk, energy and variation, which I think could've made the other lines better.

Voice may have better suited a Daphne. Good pacing overall. Third line was the best overall with good inflections and emotion. There were however some ‘mic’ errors with breating/puffs in to the mic etc. I think you have some potential though.

It had a nice nerdy sound to it as well as good emotion and acting. BTW Couldn't tell you were sick so good job in that! I did hear some puffs / mic issues though.
