Minor Project - Voice Actor Development

I have been in discussion with a few voice actors and I have received some files back from them. 

The first one which I received back was my least favourite one, as I feel as if the actors voice doesn't fit the role. But by using this person its shown me what type of voice I don't want in the animation. Narrowing down my voice actors to choose from to make it easier.

The second and third recording are coming from the same person, but at different speeds with slightly different pronunciations.

I feel as if the narration in test number 2 would be the best suited for the animation. I like the pace in which the actor read the poem, as well as his upbeat sound. 

As always any feedback will be greatly appreciated. 

Minor Project - Voice Actor Research

I have been listening to many different voice actors and the type of work they have completed in the past. I have narrowed down the long list I have listened to, to a few voice actors who I feel will work well as the reader of my poem and the narrator or the animation.

I would greatly appreciate feedback to help put me in the right direction of which voice actor or actors in which I should contact in regards to reading my poem. Unfortunately I am unable to post the video of their  recordings so will have to have a link to their voice actor profile.
