Topic: Which audition would you pick:

These are two auditions from a site that is not BiM and to my knowledge do not belong to anyone here - or is known by anyone here - at BiM.  In other words, these are completely anonymous.

I asked for auditions for a spanish/latino police detective.  The lines are short which makes it tricky.  Which would you choose?

I know context is thin.  If you had to listen to a 5 minute flick - which voice would you prefer?  Thx.

I know this may not be the reply you're looking for, but it's the best advice I can give with this much information...

(By the way, I'm new to posting on BiM, so if this post doesn't fit the way the community generally works, please let me know. I want to learn to fit in.)

It depends on what the character is supposed to be like.

The first voice has the characteristics of an older man, tough, and is better suited to an emotional character/film/scene.

The second sounds younger, more intellectual, and skeptical. His sentiments to the heart attack victim don't sound very sympathetic or emotional, but more out of basic respect for the value of human life.
