Here's some lousy writing for a voices.com job:

"*****DeskFrame business PC IS designed to be the best PC for business computing, designed to take full advantages of Intel Vpro processor technology, this system enables PC with hardware based proactive security, manageability and energy efficient performance, it starts with ****** Pro Manage solution, which enables remote manageability regardless of system state, and bi-directional intrusion detection with automated quarantine capabilities.
a trusted platform module is also integrated to provide further protection and advanced authentication.
support for Intel Matrix Storage Technology enables continuous data protection for data stored on hard drives.
compatibility with the latest Intel core 2 duo and core 2 quad processors provides you with great responsiveness for advanced business applications, multitasking and the latest operating system along with industry leading energy efficiency.
Intel quiet system technology intelligently manages system fan speeds to reduce system noise and improve energy efficiency.
you also get dual independent display support and great graphics performance as well as high speed memory support and rich connectivity options for networking and peripherals.
bundled software includes a suite of industry leading security applications and hard drive performance enhancement utilities.
and the Intel system defense utility that lets you take full advantage of the proactive security and remote manageability features of Intel AMT.
AND THose are just a few of the reasons why ****** Deskframe PC are the ideal choice for business computing"

This is just plain odd: they seem to be able to write well, but just can't be bothered to put any effort into it.
I substituted the company same with asterisks. I don't want to give these buffoons any visibility. Needless to say, I didn't submit an audition.

well, they certainly didn't spend the budget on a writer...

as a writer I get pretty tired of hearing the old line "Oh,anybody can write... " when proffering copy that surely does look like anybody wrote it... no care taken to weed out repetitive words, tongue-twisting copy, and so on. I have some museum clients who like to let scientists write copy...

I audition for this one this morning. It was more of a struggle than it needed to be.
