Rocky Mountain Fur Con 2013 was VERY generous to me. This was the first time I had hosted two separate voice acting panels at a convention, and being that I didn't want to repeat myself, I decided to make the second panel something called "Advanced Voice Acting".
To be honest, I wasn't entirely certain what to do, so I made it up on the fly. :)
First, I actually held casting sessions with the audience deciding who sounded the best before we began to record. Then I asked a volunteer from the crowd not to voice act, but to run my recording equipment, so I could concentrate on listening and directing. The results were interesting. The first four recordings in this collection were done in this different style, with the voices being used approved by the audience. I took more time directing the talent, trying to get the best possible performance-- and I think you can hear it.
Also, the reason for two recordings of back-to-back Company Policy with the same actor playing Dale is because there were two voices for Grayson that everyone agreed sounded perfect-- just in totally different ways. You can hear for yourself with recordings #3 and #4, and see how the scene changes with the different actors playing the tyrannosaur.
After we'd done the four recordings in this new, "advanced" style, there were still attendees itching to do more-- and I had the room for another couple hours, so why not? We threw in a few more basic recordings, just letting everyone do what they wanted.
It was a great experience, and a ton of fun. A huge thanks to the staff of RMFC for giving me the space, the time, and the encouragement to keep branching out with my voice acting panels!
Oh, and one more thing... you can see there's a lot of "Unknown"s down there. I'm not sure why, but I did a terrible job keeping notes on who recorded what. :( I put in the names of the individuals I did write down, and those of voice that I personally recognize. But for the rest, if anyone can help me out and figure out who all is performing in these recordings, I'd really appreciate the help!

Re; Company Policy,
As the author, I loved both of these renditions. Were I to choose a favorite, I'd say the second one. The growly nature just fits a T-Rex better in my opinion. However, the first rendition is a fine alternative, dumping the stereotype on its ear.
Whoever played Dale did it perfectly, though. :) And great job on all the other entries here too! I hope you'll have enough time at Rainfurrest to do something similar.
