Community Team Samples (we aren’t shy, so you shouldn’t be either!):

Listen to Bayohne’s sample – “I realize I pronounced Garleans wrong. I hope the Localization guys don’t listen to this.”
Listen to Camate’s sample – “I feel like my “Until now!” part was a bit too anti-climatic. I was so excited, then got to that part and I dunno what happened… “
Listen to Rukkirii’s sample – “Maybe my voice can be pulled off as a Miqo’te→ Just pretend that it can. “
Listen to Okipuit’s sample – “Clearly, I have never done voice acting… UNTIL NOW.”

Prizes
The Community Team will select one grand prize winner and four runners-up.

The Community Team will be mixing the winning voice-overs into the trailer once they are chosen! Don’t worry too much about timing the audio perfectly with the trailer, though!
