Apatheria's 2nd Demo Reel

Being unsatisfied with my first reel, and having purchased a new microphone since, I have finished a new reel with more voices. Some are dramatic, some are comedic. A few are imitations (couldn't help but use my Burns/Smithers imitation again), and most are original voices.

Thanks to The Kinda Mad for his feedback and support while I was putting this together.

Critique is welcome.

Fantastic demo. Very much a huge improvement over your first one (which was also good).

My favorite voice on here would be Mo-Ron. You just nailed that voice perfectly. And the coward line was another good one, very dramtic and believable.

And I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but your madhouse line sounded alot like The Joker. A potential voice? I believe so.

Great demo dude!

Wow, there are a lot of characters in there! You seem to stay within the same range for most of them, but it's really interesting how many different voices you can come up with. Just judging from this, I'd say variety and getting into different characters is your biggest strength. Great job!

Well, the line was inspired by a Marquis de Sade (Geoffrey Rush) line in Quills (one of my all-time favorite films), but I spiced it up to make it sound more sinister. I guess if it reminded you of The Joker than I must have done something right!

Thanks for the kind words, dude.

Aye, I've been blessed/cursed with a naturally low voice. But I'm pleased to hear that my variety is good!

Indeed, your variety and ability to get into characters is gold.

Mr. Burns and Mr. Smithers: Epic! I love those guys.

Second voice: Nice energy!

Third Voice: Your Otto/Surfer dude voice is classic.

Fourth voice: Way to go on the low and scratchy voice!

Fifth voice: Nice gruff voice!

Sixth voice: That evil laugh is gold. Very natural.

Seventh voice: Mo-Ron! What a goofy, and comical voice. Very nice!

Eighth voice: Epic!

Ninth voice: Nice energy! Very rat or Moe like.

Tenth voice: Ah, that mad scientist one was one of my favorites. Top notch on being crazy, and insane.

Good work! Highly captivating. I would love to hear a crying scene next time, or something that involved a screaming scene. Other than that, it's all goooood.

Noted. I'll keep that in mind for next time!

Hmm much better and more balanced than your first one for sure. Your strength definately lies with the more energetic/crazier sounding characters.

However the others could use some more work.

"Let loose the gods of wars." You kinda lost your voice on loose. Also this voice needs some more power to it. It has nice energy but you really need to get into the character and sound like your about the let loose the gods of war.

"Like the coward you are." I'm not sure what you were going for in this voice, but it sounds like you need to be a bit more mocking. Also you sorta lose some energy while doing it as his voice becomes pretty cracked by the end.

"I do admire your courage." Good laugh but you probably want to sound a little more amused with yourself during your lines. Also he kinda gets quiet by the end of the line so watch out for that.

"In the name of my country." Has pretty much the same problem as the god of war voice. Also this one sounds a little forced so try and make it a little more natural.

"Welcome to our little mad house." Excellent, your laugh could've sounded more evil but it was still a well done character overall.

The goofy voices are all much better this time around and I didn't have a problem with them. Overall a fun demo reel, maybe put a sad scene in your next one. Keep up the good work!

Noted. Thanks for the honest critique, Hyperknees. Once again, I'll keep all your pointers in mind.
