Manabi's 2009 Demo Reel

Definitely a big improvement from the last one. Good job! ^_^

Well that was fun.

Your first voice almost captured a kid I thought but I think it could've sounded a bit more innocent. Still I liked the portrayal.

Your Witch voice you sound very uncomfortable with in general (actually anything outside of the high range you sound pretty uncomfortable with). She just didn't sound sinister or natural enough but it was a nice attempt.

The two voices which were your definate strongest were the obnoxious short girl and the lost girl. One was bursting with energy and the other sounded quite frail so they were both enjoyable, nicely done.

Your other medium voice "do you do you?" was a bit overdrammatic and sounded slightly forced. I think you almost captured the scene but she needs to sounds more genuinely frustrated.

Your "which means your wrong" voice basically just needed to be goofier if you ask me.

The crying was pretty good overall, but it seemed like you kinda lost it half way. Still I definately felt something from it.

Anyway I enjoyed it overall, I would say the demo reel probably needs a bit more style to it or something so it flows a bit better.

TheNationMaker: Yay! Thank you!

hyperknees91: Thank you so much for going so indepth!!!! This will really help me on my next demo! I lack the range unfortunately to do much haha and although its a problem ive been trying to fix...its not very easy to actually fix XD. This was my first actual scripted demo reel and i did it myself off the top of my head so its definatly is lacking a bit of style.

Heh no one said it was easy. All that matters is the willingness to improve. Like I said you did a good job, but just more and more practice will go a long way.

Manabiiiii~~ You know I looove your voice!<33 I actually think that this demo doesn't showcase your range as much as your last one. Pitches were different, but there was nothing that seriously made them sound different. Try adding accents, a rasp voice, a sultry woman, and other stuff like that that strays away from the typical cute girl or teen. Your acting however is amazing! I agree with hyperknees91 lost it at the end, but the beginning was fantastic. Super super awesome job Manabi!<3
