Public Lead - 8130017 - Male voice over with the tone and attitude of Josh Lyman
8130017
I am looking for voice talent to record at least six three-minute scripts for flash animations and possibly some one-minute spots for radio and television. Ideally, we want someone with the tone and attitude of Josh Lyman (Bradley Whitford) on The West Wing: witty, wry, politically astute, earnest, softspoken, direct, trustworthy, smart.
I'm attaching one of the six scripts for audition purposes; it would be helpful if we could hear your delivery in a sample I could share with the creative team and client.
Be sure to let me know how you prefer to work with clients and what you would charge for the work! Mar 17, 2006 16:26:07 (GMT -05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) Mar 24, 2006 00:00:00 (GMT -05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) No (click here to learn more about

Nobody ever said life was fair.
If you’re like me, you’ve heard that line too many times. But what does it really mean? Does it mean that
life’s gonna get you no matter what you do?
(So why bother getting out of bed in the morning?)
Or does it mean that we decide what’s fair and
how to etch it upon the randomness of life?
(So kick off the bunny slippers and get going.)
I prefer answer number two. But feel free to disagree.
I, for one, believe disagreeing is one of the things
we Americans do best. It’s one of the fundamental tenets of democracy, presidential debates, and reality TV.
But there are, my friends, a few things on which most of us can agree -- and fair play is one of them. We ask it of ourselves and we expect it of others.
Another thing most of us agree about is that the Founding Fathers – guys like Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Ben Franklin – knew a thing or two about liberty and justice. Those guys got it. They got how to launch a country because they got what drives human minds and hearts – toward vice as well as virtue.
Their deep understanding of what makes people and governments tick resulted in some pretty useful roadmaps in the form of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They gave us some very clever checks and balances that prevent any branch of government from becoming too powerful or too prone to corruption. And they gave us a very cool compass to always point us toward due north (that’s fair play, my friends) – even when we are noisily disagreeing like good Americans.
That compass, by the way, is our civil justice system. That’s right, you heard me. Now, I know civil justice isn’t something most of us spend any time thinking about – unless (knock on wood) we’re slapped with a lawsuit, divorce, or child custody battle. But if you can turn your mind to civil justice for just a second, think about this: the American civil justice system is the only one like it in the world. Some people gripe about the high cost of litigation, but they never tell you compared to what? I’ll bet you didn’t know that American taxpayers spend less than half on civil legal services than citizens in countries like England, France, Germany, or even Canada.
Justice for all is a beautiful thing.
And I don’t know about you, but I can’t imagine a guy like Thomas Jefferson saying to a fellow patriot: “Quit your bitching; nobody ever said life was fair.”
