Color me impressed! This is your first demo? It's pretty darn good! (IMHO)

You offer a great selection of voices & each character is clearly defined. The pacing is excellent...timing is just about perfect. The beginning is the only spot where I would make changes. Start with a brief intro, in your natural voice, with your name & "Character Voice Demo". I'd consider using a stronger choice for your first character too. Maybe switch places with your 2nd voice, though you might want to consider changing out the footsteps foley, if possible. Currently it sounds more like a big guy stomping off, or someone banging their fist on a wall.

So, that bit of nitpicking aside, your demo is awesome! I can't help but compare you with Tara Strong. I also subscribed to you YouTube channel...I want to know when you do your next production. Keep up the great work!

[Jilly Bean]

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll be sure to add a slate next time and to put a stronger voice first. I'll also try to find some lighter sounding footstep foley.

Thank you! ^^ And I absolutely love Tara Strong. It's so flattering to be compared to her.

i have to say i loved it! and if you don't mind me asking where did you find the background music, i'm trying to make my own and i'm having a heck of a time finding some :sweat

[Jilly Bean]

Thanks! ^^ The background music I used (in order) is:

Pavan for Piano and Orchestra (Ouran High School Host Club)
Selenic Soul (Soul Eater)
Tranquillezza for String (Ouran High School Host Club)
Tracks 16, 5, and 13 (Hanamaru Kindergarten)
Naname-jo o aruke (DuRaRaRa!!)

The tracks for the Hanamaru Kingergarten OST are all in Japanese, so I hope track numbers are okay. ^^;

Very nice work! You definitely excel in certain types of voices, but all of it's great fun to listen to. :D
