    That is not a homonym typo in the title ^^ Before I had a demo that was over 6 minutes long o.O But I finally took the time to shorten it to 1:30 minutes and added bg music! So this is my Real demo reel that I'll be showing off for the time being ^_~

    Please any critiques or feedback on the technicalities like order of voices or if I could only include 4, which would they be or any voices that are repetitive and are not needed. And if you hear any puffs...I have since solved that problem and don't have any puffs in my recordings anymore! =^^= But you may also comment about other things on my voice if you have anything constructive ^_~ So without further ado, here it is:

    I'll be working on another more recent demo soon with original voices and lines (no specific character voices) so I'd like to know what I can do better to put that one together. Thanks!

    I love your voice. It's actually very calm and soothing.

    Some suggestions for when you compile a new demo... Show some more range. The voices you used here where along the same medium-range and gave them a similar tone. Experiment with letting your voice go higher, squeakier, etc. Just don't strain yourself. You could also experiment with going even lower, if you're more comfortable in that range, and I bet if you worked at it, you could pull off some convincing young boy voices. :3

    Also, I'd like to hear some more peppy energy from you! You do great with sadness and anger, but I want to hear you spaz. XD It'd be great if you could try a line for Botan or (considering only if you've watched it) Ayumi from Spiral. I have a great feeling you could pull it off!

    Otherwise, I do like your voice and look forward to hearing another demo reel from you! Especially since you say you've fixed the puffs. :3 Take care!

    I have done Botan before ^^;;; but she was one of the voices I cut out of my 6 minute reel XD

    Thank you for your input. After hearing Crispin Freeman talk about the benifits of marketing a stalk character then when called upon to 'open your bag of tricks' and do other voices to impress people that way. My Random Kawaii voice is probably as high as I can comfortably go speaking wise (I can't get above a C w/o hurting my eardrums when singing). Anise was on the high end for me too, and Mr. Akashi the low for me...well I had a lower voice, but I didn't get casted in that role so I figured my man wasn't to convincing...I should try a Megumi Ogata in English with a Kurama line sometime XD

    I agree with Kage. Although I do like your voice, I'd like to see more of your range!

    The only thing I could give you a little critique on (because I'm not familiar with the English dubs of the other characters you voiced) is the Anise. I actually did her in my demo reel, and she has a REALLY high-pitched voice. Unless you wanted to do something different?

    Also, I felt you could've given more emotion to some of the lines. If I remember correctly, in your Tear voice, the emotion was flat.
