Ty Coker 2011 Voice Acting Demo

[Ty Coker]

I'm new at the whole demo-reel-making-stuff, so instead of trying to come up with as many voices as possible, I just compiled clips of every voice acting role I played in 2011. There's not a crazy amount of difference in the voices, but at least it generally demonstrates what I can do.

I would love any feedback you guys have, and if you like anything and want me to voice act for something, just let me know.

Not bad, you've definitely got some experience in terms of emotions. Anyway, since you're new to the demo reel stuff, I'll give you a sort of template that I always keep in mind when making demo reels.

1: No rambling. If you want to put an introduction, keep it short, three seconds tops. Demo reels are meant to express your voice range, not who you are, what you've done etc.
2: Keep the reel 1 minute tops. While it may seem short, you can put in at least 8 different voice types in that one minute.
3: Keep the lines short and to the point of the emotion. If you're sad, start by crying. If you're angry, start by shouting etc.
4: Try to keep a variety of voices. Low pitched, High pitched, Angry, Sad, Happy, Insane, Screaming and so on.
5: Don't put multiple lines of the same emotion, that will just take up reel time.
6: When putting the demo reel together, try to put them in an order that contrast each other. IE: Insane, Happy, Angry, Sad, Obnoxious etc.
7: Put music that reflects the emotion. This will help get the idea across.

Thats all I can think of at the moment. Hope this helps!

Yes, thank you! I'll make sure to be better prepared next time I put one together. The only thing for me would be getting the various example lines to use. Maybe, with some luck, I'll have a better variety of voice work this year that will suffice!
The entire intro was just like: "Hey, I'm bad at this so here's everything I've done, K bye."
