HYEEES!

Now that everyone else is doing new demos, I thought I'd join in on the trend! ;D

I remember being proud of my last reel when I released it, but listening to it again was almost painful. UGH >_<;; So! Here's a new Pawtalicious reel, in which I tried to include more of my higher register (I'm aware that it's still fairly limited, but I'm working on it! ;D) and some more emotional variety.

All lines are original, but some have taken inspiration from certain shows and games.

BGM: Sean Beeson (http://www.seanbeeson.com/music.html), Bayonetta OST, Tales of Legendia ~Voice of character quest~, Dawn of War OST, Tekken 6 OST
Mixing: The Pawt |3

Special Thanks to: VH chat and Team Cepheus for helping out with pointers and critiques while this was still a WIP!

So, give it a listen and critique to your heart's content! 8'D

Morning bump!

Not bad at all. The only thing I can critique on is you sound a bit tense when doing the voices. Some of it may be intentional, but otherwise that's all I can say. The acting and energy you give is pretty decent.

Tense? I'm not quite sure I know exactly what you mean, but thanks for taking the time to listen through it and give your opinion on it.

Bump for more critique!

Well i think you deserve some more critiques =D

Your low range seems to be the highlight of your demo reel and they're really great ^^
And your ability to yell and be quite dark is highlighted well, though missing some more emotional lines such as crying or extreme anger types.

But it's a really good demo ^^ though the majority of your voices were dark low or comedic types.
I enjoyed your demo reel ^^

Much improved from your last demo reel, everything seemed well acted so good job there. Well if I had one nitpick it would be your more forceful low voice towards the middle, almost intimidating enough but not quite (still nice job on it).

Basically I would just try and work yourself into a higher range as well as aim for some younger voices, but other than that nice job~

Thanks for the feedback! ;'D

As for crying lines, I'm confident in the fact that my crying just doesn't sound believable as of now, and including fail crying in my reel just wouldn't make sense since, well, there shouldn't be fail things in a reel xD That's why I had the "When I'm gone..." line to act as a sad line as replacement for a crying line. Extreme anger... I really don't know why I didn't include such a line. For my next reel, I'll make sure to have a bit more extreme emotions as well ;D

Glad to hear that I've improved!

Forceful low voice near the middle..? The "You'll just have to excuse me then"-line? If that's the one you were referring to, then, uh, I never really meant it to be intimidating in the first place >_>;;

And yeah, I'll keep working on my higher range and those younger voices! They might be really limited for me now, but I'll try my best to improve! :'D

Bump for more critique~

[The Pawt]

Aaaaaand another bump!

[The Pawt]

Still bumping. I REALLY want more critique on this, guys! D:

[xxidioteque]

Well, I just seem like a gigantic creeper, don't I? Hah, first the TTGL clip, now this. Alright. Time for some more mature critiquing.

I do think you have established a nice, higher-pitched voice, but now that you have it, I think it needs to be expanded upon. With the exception of the more psychotic sounding voice, your higher range is used exclusively with a slightly awkward tone, like a geeky teenage boy (your first voice, I believe). From there, I'd recommend applying that voice to different personalities. Once you take that base and you're able to mold it to fit most any personality type, you will have a better balance between the lower and higher pitches, I think. If you were able to make any sense of that, I applaud you, good sir.

The only other problem that I had, personally, was that the second voice on the reel was difficult to understand. The voice itself sounds good, but I couldn't hear any distinct consonant sounds, which do tend to get lost in really deep voices.

Other than those, I wasn't displeased at all. Each voice was unique and the reel displayed your abilities nicely. My personal favorite was the psychotic voice I had previously mentioned. I thought it was a very daring, very effective line to use.


Also, bonus points for Tales of Legendia music. Hope I helped just a little bit!

That actually does make sense! ;D And yeah, so far I've only really used my high voice for psychotic and comedic voices/characters, but I'm working on expanding it and trying to make it feel more natural so I can use it in more serious roles.

Ah, yes, I tend to slur my words a bit in my normal voice, and since this voice is fairly challenging for me I guess I forgot to keep check on enunciation. I'll definitely keep this in mind since it's a fun voice to do, and enunciation is something I have to work on in general as well.

Yay! Thanks! :'D I love doing those kinds of psychotic voices, so I really had to put one in the reel. The line itself... I wasn't as sure of, since it doesn't really go anywhere except for being creepy and perverted xD

Thanks again! I'll keep your pointers in mind for the future!

OMG THAT WAS SO FUCKING GREAT, Your Voice Is So Great, I Loved The Range, I Loved The Emotion, I-I-I JUST LOVED THIS, Their Was Not A Single Thing That I Saw Wrong, This Is Great And You Have A Lot Of Potential


Daglot Alta: APPROVES

[ElliottSkywalker]

This is great! I even burst out laughing at a few of the lines. "SUCK ON THAT, DOUCHEBAGS!" made me LOL so hard! All the emotions were spot on! Not to mention the accents were smexy and well presented! I did hear some of the lines peak, when you screamed or performed really loud voices, darn quality, (brings me down as well x.x) But overall this was really epic! I loved your low voices the most, they sounded more natural for you.

ElliottSkywalker.... totally approves! :razz:

Yes, peaking is a horrible thing D: *punches that damned peaking* But I'm learning how to handle it better with methods other than just turning the volume down |D

Thanks for the critique! I'm glad you liked it!



...Aaaaaand a final bump for this bad boy! ;D

[The Pawt]

Since I keep getting mails all the time about people previewing this on box.net, but I'm not seeing anyone commenting on it, I thought I'd give this a little bump for more critiques and opinions!

[The Pawt]

Shinkuu... HADOUBUMP!

[RachelMichelle]

Hmmm, your demos not bad, but it could use some work.

For one thing, your mic peeked a few times, not exactualy ideal for a perfect demo.

Secondly, a few of your voice slurred words, i couldn't understand alot of what you said because of it, so please work on pronouncing words in accents or such before you record.

Other than that it was good ^^
