The rules are easy. Record this text using only your own voice. The winner will be decided by vote.
This round's text is a transcript from the Princess Bride, the movie.
You only read the dialogue (in BOLD), not the descriptions.
This may be a very challenging part to read, (a female voice will make it interesting,) so just make your own interpretation and it'll be fine!
For the ITALICIZED text you can use SoundFX if you like. ;D
Transcript
Westley and Buttercup finally exit the fire swamp, tired and worn.
Buttercup: [triumphantly] We did it!
Westley: Now, was that so terrible?
Out of nowhere, the galloping of horses.
Humperdink: Surrender!
Westley: You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well then, I accept.
Humperdink: I give you full marks for bravery. Don't make yourself a fool.
Westley: Ah, but how will you capture us? We know the secrets of the fire swamp.We can live there happily for some time, so whenever you feel like dying, feel free to visit.
Humperdinck's men surround Westley and Buttercup with crossbows.
Humperdink: I tell you once again, surrender!
Westley: It will not happen! Westley draws his sword
Humperdink: [shouting] For the last time, surrender!
Westley: Death first!
Buttercup: [interrupting] Will you promise not to hurt him?
Humperdink: What was that?
Westley: What was that?
The deadline is one week. Present your recordings with .ogg or .mp3.
Apart from the female part (I've got a fairly deep voice) this one kicks ass. Excellent choice, sir.
Nice script indeed.
Also, we might change the rules so instead of a popular vote, the thread-starter elects the winner.
That's apparently how Rharpe interpreted it :)
Hm, I think I'll participate in this one.
Me again...
The first entry again...

I hope I don't sound like a rap singer in this one.
CoolBlue-Gord10: You sound a bit robotic, but I enjoyed it immensley. (The voice of Buttercup is priceless!) With a little more variation in your voice, I think that could improve your voice over.
Also, thanks for putting soundFX in it, it really adds to the whole listening experience.
I don't think you sound like a rap singer at all. :D (...and that's a compliment.)
Thanks for the compliment :) I always thought my English wasn't so fluent before entering this competition (I'm Turkish; my main language isn't English).
There isn't any else entry? Did I win? (Yay, how I would feel prouded if I won as it was the only entry ._. )
CoolBlue-Gord10: The 11th day of September, here in the US, is the last day for entries. If no one else submits an entry by 11:59pm... you will win by default and start the next Voice Acting Contest.
It's currently 8:40pm.
Bah. Did one, couldn't overcome the previous problems with quality (in fact, in some ways worse) and scrapped it. Really liked this script too, I'll just have to do it on my own for my own edification.
Definitely liked your version of it CoolBlue, Buttercup rocked.
CoolBlue-Gord10: By process of elimination the decision was unanimous... You are the winner of this comp! Congrats!!! ;D (Great job with the Buttercup voice! The soundFX were awsome too.)
YAY! I won! *Cries in the Halle Berry way* Now I will think for a good theme for the next comp.
oh cursed fate :'( my microphone broke on the eve of this contest!
(moans, then searches for a NEW microphone)
hope to enter the next one
