I appreciate Critique!

[BrandonSparkman]

Ha, wow! I really like the emotion in each line. The pitch seems very consistent for each line. Pretty good range as well. :D

You've come a long way since you first started. Range is impressive, and your show of emotion has become very noticeable over the years. The demo reel clearly shows traits that many scouts look for in experienced voice acting. Clearly the work of an experienced voice actor. Maybe you could give me some tips? Keep at it!

DANTE!!!! Long time no see!

Yep, getting back into voice acting. Haven't done any serious work in about 4 years. Still trying to find roles here. And the search continues!

Bumping for critique....

PLEASE Critique!!!!!!

Here's what I got critique-wise. Keep in mind I'm assuming you want to do this professionally and that's how I'm personally judging it.

1. The music is overpowering the voices at times, which is a bad idea. They're there to hear your voice, not your sound design. It's a nice touch, but making all the music and sounds way quieter will bring more attention to your voice. I'd chill out on the voice effects as well. Once, again, they need to hear you more than anything else.

2. A typical professional demo reel is 30-60 seconds at most. Anything longer than a minute is too much.

And that's it, really. Your acting is very good and you seem to have a good range, you just need to fix your presentation.

I am IMPRESSED with your amount of ranges! One of your ranges remind me of Monica Rial (which is a compliment, since she is one of my favorite VA's ever!) and it's also amazing how you can make such womanly voices as well. It's obvious that you've had a lot of practice and experience before you put out this demo reel. You sound like you can be a real professional someday!

[Kisaka Toriama]

Really great Demo!! :'D I loved the range. It was very enjoyable to listen to! Great job!

I would've liked to hear a little less of that echo filter thing. But other than that, convincing acting and great range!

Sounds a little... Saliva-ee at some points. IF THAT HELPS LOL.

no, it doesnt.

[JazyXIII]

It's really hard for me to critique others, though I'm going to try a bit:

What I feel he meant when he said "Saliva-ee" was what I noticed in a few lines -- Like that noise people make when just open their mouths and they have too much saliva and the "wet" sound shows up in the recording. I don't know how to better explain it.

The only real problems that I could see have already been mentioned -- The music sometimes overpowers your voice, the echo is a little strong, etc. Your range is pretty amazing, and your pronunciation was clear and concise. You're really great with emotions, but near the end there were some lines you just seemed bored on. (Or was that what you were going for? lol...)

thaats... about all, actually. I can't think of anything else. :) Keep on practicing and I hope to hear more of you~

[Jorrich]

I agree with this^

[Reikku]

Bumping thisss!
