I could really visualize the character and the scene in my head. However, I felt that you could have put a few more voices in your demo. All the voices in the demo were more cartoon like character voices. I think it would have been nice if you added in some normal everyday character voices. Other than that, I really can't say much. The demo kept me intrested. It had a great range of voices and characters; and emotion and delivery were all amazing. You did a great job tcars! Keep it up! =D


    Thanks so much for listening Sasuya! It makes me really happy that you could pictures all the scenes, I've done my job then 8D. I have to agree that I needed more voices... I always felt my demo was too short even though its actually on the longer side of normal demos XD. And yeah, I'll def put in more normal voices... but... they're just so BORING DX

    I love playing outlandish characters but yeah, for a demo you do need to show you are capable of any type of character. Thanks for the feedback!

    (first impressions mean a lot),

    The only thing that I can really suggest is to have a few more serious lines stuck in there, since this reel focuses a bit much on comedy lines and characters.

    Still, I could imagine you sticking in a more intellectual character or maybe even a little boy.

    Thanks so much for taking the time to comment Sera Phia!! I do have to agree, first impressions are EVERYTHING. I can hear a difference in the first two voices but that's just because that's my voice and I knew it was suppose to be different XD

    I can totally see what everyone is saying now though that the first two weren't different enough. As for boy voices, I SUCKKK at those. The crying kid with the evil guys was my best attempt that sounded somewhat natural lol. I really appreciate the feedback!

    Thanks so much shelene! ^^

    Okay, first off, love the intro~ Harmonies ftw, and it's a real attention grabber. And then the epic "SUMMER 2009" was a good way to start off showing off your range.

    I definitely lol'd with the whole love letter thing. XD If there's one thing about you, it's that you are definitely a genuinely funny guy. What I liked is that you set up the scene so perfectly that the listener could never be confused as to what was happening and you basically could get a sense of who the characters were. I agree that the voices sounded a bit like they were the same person, but it didn't really detract from the performance.

    The sad scene was SUCH a definite improvement over your last demo's. The mixing also helped to get the feel and atmosphere.

    I would have to agree though that I missed a lot of your work with accents in this demo! Those are some of your biggest strengths. But I will say that you are amazing at character voices and this demo featured them really well. Next time I would suggest putting some more normal voices, but other than that great job, T~

    Thanks so much for finally critiquing cake! 8D

    I'm glad the general consensus is that my sad scene got better, I tried really hard to make it believable. I'm thinking about like releasing just a short "silly demo reel" with accents and more crazy characters in short audio or something...

    Sorry to say, I feel you could have done a lot better than this.

    The intro was awesome, and it sounded really groovy, if I may be so bold. :O

    One complaint I have is the blending of voices. They were funny, no doubt, but you know that the whole purpose of a demo reel is to show off your range and pitch first and foremost- once you finish doing that, then you can set your priorities on comedy, but it looks like you did them both at the same time, y'know? If the same formula was used with either two different people or one person doing two clearly distinguishable voices, it would be flawless, but there's still an obvious similarity in the two voices you have. The dialogue was cute, though.
    The reason why I say this is mainly because, whenever I listen to a demo, if I hear one voice, I'm thinking 'Alright, this is good. I like his voice. The pitch is good, the emotion is good, he's great at enunciation,' and so forth. But once you pull a second character (that you may or may not be doing to show off range) it confuses me, especially considering how quickly you edited them talking over each other.

    The bulk of the voices you showed off sounded similarly gruff, and the emotion scene sounded kind of fake. The 'c'mon, man, this isn't funny!' part sounded believable, but the 'Wake UP!' part kind of lost me, because it sounded like you were a little hesitant to get fully in-character. It made me think less of someone emotional and more like someone getting a little upset and shoving off someone like 'C'mon, let go of me!'

    I really do like your voice, though. I can safely say you sound like a fun guy based on the way you made this. ;D

    No need to be sorry! Any feedback is good feedback ^^

    I really appreciate your critique Zeix, I was waiting for someone to nitpick it like you did 8D Sad lines really are my downfall XDD
