Voice Acting Demo Reel for Spring, this time I focused more on voices that would be more befitting for animes and video games, also worked on improving voices that seemed to have flopped from my last few takes on them.
Feedback would be appreciated : )
Thanks for listening~

Persona 4 OST
Guilty Royale OST

Good range and most of your lower voices were really nice. The emotional one (Give her back) could use a bit more energy though, it sounded like you were holding back a little bit. :)

I'm not too sure if digitalizing lines for a demo is very smart though (the demonic one at the end), although I liked how the last line kinda connected with it.

Wow, your really freak'in good. Your's is probably one of the most professional demos I've heard yet.

I agree with dream though. You might want to try to get your voice to shake, or sound more choked up, or even to get your voice to crack. Other wise great Job. Love the nerdy kid and the announcer guy.

Yea I will work on the desperation voice, thank you for the pointers, both of you. : )

Bump for a little more feedback : )

Nice one! You managed the range of both high and deep, comic and serious characters really well in this I thought. The line about Kuro was hillarious xD. Enunciation was clear, which is always important. Sound quality and mixing was generally good. The low voices seemed a little quiet, but that's no big problem. Well done =D.

Thank you very much Sarifus, Im glad you liked it ^^, and I will try to speak up more with the lower tones

I'd say chop your reel down to a minute (I started fading around the fourth sample), fiddle with the EQ and raise up the volume on your voice (the music was more aurally prominent than your acting) and add more intensity and energy all around to your performances.

I'm not sure if it was more projection that was required or that the volume levels were a bit off. In the very first voice (bar the intro) it was difficult to make out what you said when I listened to it the first time. Possibly just having the voice file louder/music quieter would have fixed that. I find as I'm often doing deeper voices that I occasionally just have to be careful with the mixing to make sure the voice isn't lost behind the other sounds, especially if the music/sfx consist of deep sounds (which they did here). Higher voices are less of a problem. Alternatively you could try projecting a bit more, but I quite liked the cold growly sort of effect you got from speaking quietly.

Alright, I'll give it another try later on in the future, thank you very much : )
