The prize winner will be judged as having a combination of the highest quality recording meaning no background noise or music (75%), and a good voice (25%). Don't worry about your accent, just say it with style.
Pro tip: Make consecutively louder recordings (raise your microphone gain each time) until you hear digital distortion (will sound scratchy and bad) when speaking or an annoying audible background noise. Then lower your gain so that you have maximized your "headroom" without clipping the digital signal.
Your main goal here is to MAXIMIZE the audio signal to background noise ratio without clipping the signal
Bonus upvote rewards will be given for those who help others in this process, and for submissions in different languages. You can check out the original post for translations that you can dictate into your microphone:
https://steemit.com/steemjet/@dimimp/steemjet-captain-contest
Each contest entry must have a VOICE RECORDING saying:
"Welcome aboard steemjet. This is your captain speaking. Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for takeoff. STEEMJET - on the wings of superstars, we are words and steem"
And that's it. You are entered in the competition with the grand prize of $2000
OK, we really need to concentrate on this audio competition because our graphic design department is completely staffed and we have no need for new graphic artists.
We DO, however, need a steemjet captain, and a NARRATOR for our audiobook "Olivia and the Superstar" (contest to be announced soon)
I am listing all sumbitted entries for the steemjet captain competition. If your link does not play, then it might have been removed. I hear that D-Tube works for steemit. I will be upvoting anyone who can help others learn how to post audio or video content.
If your submission is not included here, then please let me know.
This contest will last until June 30, and the winner receives $2000 in upvotes

@omowumi has made many versions but I can't get the links to work. It is a shame that I have not had time to even listen to most of these submissions because the 3 art contests kicked off soon after we posted this contest and of course the kids book detour. Now our major focus is back on this audio competition, and I want to catalogue the entries. This is somewhat new to me technically, but I will keep you posted on the progress, and know that this audio competition will always be posted prominently until it completes.

respect to mbj:
Many links don't work because maybe they were free posting links? It has been over a month since uploading and maybe the host site took them down. I am sorry I was not able to get the link to work, but I will be focusing more on audio going forward. And tips are appreciated.
I am seeking to download audio files in highest quality audio format, and need to learn how to do this next (audio ripper download apps etc). I will keep you posted on my progress, again, any assistance is appreciated.
Once I have the files downloaded, then I can compare the signal to noise ratios digitally to help qualtify the leader board. I know how to do this already, it is the downloading in top audio quality format that I will need to learn now.
If i did not comment on your entry it is becasue I could not get the link to work. I am dim, so most likely the problem is on my end.
this is amazing, so many languages in one place. This is one of the best ways of reach a lot of people, just say it with their native language. good job @dimimp and to all my friends in this community that are in this with me.
89/211
i just made it 90/210
Yeah, except that my voice scares me lol.. Just kidding though.
It's a nice way to promote unity.
Thanks @dimimp
Voice Note Loading.
@deandaniel same here man!
Hello boss..
Here's my entry...
Please listen on D-sound..
https://steemit.com/dsound/@deandaniel/20180426t093114339z-steemjet-audio-contest-for-captain
Helo sir, this is my link to the contest. Hope you would like it.
https://steemit.com/steemjet/@cherylsonty/my-entry-for-the-audio-captain-contest-by-dimimp
It's lovely dear
I wish to withdraw my entry, I'll post a new one with a better noise cancellation so the background will be clear.
Now, I noticed that most of the file were missing or could not play. So this is a step by step guide on into make your audio and submit it here in the best format.
Using Soundcloud
Get the soundcloud app from your play store for best experience. You can also use the web version but the app is way cooler.
Open an account, verify your email, then click your profile to add a recording.
Make your recording and save it with the right name you want to use.
Note this is where it gets tricky. Please use a laptop for this or pc for this not your phone. Only use an embed code to give you the best result.
To get an embed code for your track, click the 'Share' button below the waveform and an overlay will appear. Click on the embed tab to view what options you have to embed your player.
Copy-paste the embed code from 'Code & preview'. Next, copy the code and paste it into the comment editor section of this post. Good luck.
If you still have issue, contact me on discord or telegram with your link and I'll get you the embed code especially for those who do not have a laptop.
@dimimp about downloading the files, you might consider checking https://savefrom.net
I do request for a permission
To edit this comment later and submit the link to my own upload.
I don't want to give out a double comment to avoid congestion.
Thank you

Hello @dimimp, how are you faring today? I hope you're getting much better healthwise, I'm concerned about your health also as the dreams of steemjet and steemjetitians may be affected if you're not physically fit or sound.
However, thank you for giving non graphic artists like us an opportunity to also make meaningful contributions to Steemjet through our voice. I am delighted about this contest and I'm submitting my entry soon
Great one @ dimimp

HAhaHahA... Thanks... I'm considering it. 😉
I wont be surprised if you do
Nice lettering
Really nice voice. Good Luck.
How do we participate when links have already been sidelined on this particular post. If I do make an entry, will it also be imprinted on the post or will it just be an entry?
I already tried to explain this to you in a response of another comment... I hope it helps you.
Drop a comment here of your audio recordings @dimimp would definitely see it
Don't worry just post the entry
Hello @dimimp, I just made my entry for the captain voice contest. I'm thinking of posting it too on your recent post so incase you don't get to see this. The link below...

Hi @dimimp here is my other entry for 'TIME' contest in girly style:
https://steemit.com/steemjet/@matytan/graphic-design-contest-1-of-3-time-2-girl-style
YOU ARE GOOD AT THIS ... KEEP IT UP!!!
When you say we have no need for graphic artist, my heart skipped a bit. Does this mean we don't get scored on our previous designs?
Concerned citizen of steemjetville 😃
I don't think so, that's more on the path of that, at the time, they are already a lot of contest for desings and he need another kind of contribution for the community.
The previous contest are still open and on the run for the winner, if you subbmited something to those one you are in the run, just that the deadline of those is not over yet.
Well, it's only logical cos they has been a lot of designs already, it doesn't mean we don't deserve some kind of attention though
I'm also worried about this cos I just dropped a design I painstakingly made for the steemjet community
We will. Lannister will always pay his debts as @dimimp always says. He just meant that there is no need for more designers because there are plenty of them already
I wonder am I one of the designers who still participate or I am the one with the rest onlookers behind the glass door.
I'd love to try another logo contest it was super fun to make them. I've got a tonne of experience and still praying to get something in return, probably won't happen though lmao.
You might've participated too late but I don't know
Too late before the 30'ths of June.
Damn. Have to accept the truth, seems I'm a slow turtle :(
Anyway, I'll pray to buddha and SpongeBob that I'll get there.
At least with Elvis Contest, Lord Lanister said something about 500$ to all great contestants.
Did you post it in the comments?
Yeah, @dimimp has put that at the top of the comment section.
Btw, I should check when the new season of Game Of Thrones. I'm kinda missing it already.
I'm sure the lanister would keep to his words
Good luck guys, wish your voices of steemjet to sound like thunder and clear like a dew.
you are right dear.
