Round 8: Dubs
Eight contestants were paired and assigned various animation dubs. Featuring: Actorman, Darkwolf, Merodi, MotlyFool, Russ, Ry-Guy and SonicMega (Ellie did not submit).
Round 9: Cold Reads
This round was done live, over Skype. The actors were paired and given a script which they had to read cold. They were then given some direction and allowed to work for 30 minutes before coming back to perform again: Actorman, Darkwolf, Merodi, MotlyFool, Ry-Guy and SonicMega participated.
Round 10 (Semifinals): Commercials
Each contestant was assigned two commercials: one to last 15 seconds and one 30 seconds. Contestants are: Actorman, Darkwolf, Merodi, MotlyFool, and Ry-Guy.
The finale didn't actually come off, this season. The three finalists were Actorman, Darkwolf, and Ry-Guy, and each was to submit a monologue plus play a role in an epic original radioplay written by the judges; unfortunately, Actorman didn't submit at all, and Darkworlf didn't submit his monologue, so Ry-Guy was declared the winner by default.
