Audio Audition
IF YOU POST YOUR AUDITION TO A SITE SUCH AS YOUTUBE OR VIMEO, PLEASE MAKE IT PRIVATE SO THAT OTHER CANDIDATES CANNOT VIEW YOUR WORK.
At the end of YOU DON'T KNOW JACK, Jellyvision Games (our sister company) plays fake commercials while the credits run. Here are a few of those fake commercials so you can get a sense of what they sound like.
Daily Meditation:
The Shield:
Press 8 To Donate:
We'd like to hear what you'd do if you were producing one of these commercials. No, it's not what you'd be doing on the job, but it should give us an idea of what you're capable of making happen with sound.
YOUR TASK: There's a script below for you to record, add in SFX (and music if you think it helps), and mix down. What are we looking for? Your ability to select and direct voice talent (which can include you, if you've got that going on), timing, selection of sounds, bringing out the humor, etc.
Show us your Audio Kung Fu.
The Omnitool
[add SFX where you feel they'll enhance the humor of the commercial]
It's collapsible, it's expandable, it fits in your pocket, it fits in your mouth! The Omnitool has it all!
It's a shovel! It's an ironing board! It's a bug zapper! It's a radon detector!
It slices through glass and dissolves metal!
Don't just buy one!
It's a tampon! It's a broadcasting tower! It's a war memorial! It's a Spanish dictionary!
Replace 10,000 clumsy tools with one Omnitool!
It's an air conditioner! It's flattering pants! It's a bomb shelter! It's a healthy alternative to bacon!
Plus, the Omnitool is 100% edible and fits comfortably in your pocket!
It's a covered wagon! It's the face of God! It's a hand painted pasta platter! It's a particle accelerator!
Operators are standing by! Get yours today!
It's a toy, it's a rifle, it's a walrus diaper, it's a lemon zester (fade out)
When you're finished, please reply to the email that you got asking you to undertake this audition with a link to what you've done, or include it as an attachment.
We're excited to see what you come up with. Thank you again for taking the time to go through this application process with us.
