Konata’s 2010 Demo Reel

(but for some reason, 4shared added another 17 seconds of silence... lol.)

Uwaa, so after nearly two years of using the failtastic 2008 demo reel, I created a newer, more updated one. I will admit that it's definitely not my showcasing my best work, but this is the best I could do the only two days that I’m not going to be busy for a while. I really, really wanted to make this before a load of work piled on top of me, and this is what I came up with. Hopefully, when I’m not so busy, I’ll be able to make a better one with better mixing and better acting. @__@

Mixing—Konata, Sapphire (Umineko fan dub lines)
SFX—Soundsnap, VAA SFX Library, Umineko no Naku Koro ni VN
BGM—Saya no Uta OST, Toradora! Character Album, Toradora! OST, Umineko no Naku Koro ni OST, The Vanishment of Haruhi Suzumiya OST

I would like to give special thanks to Dabiu for helping me with this demo reel. She's probably irritated with me by now because of all the help I made her give me. I would also like to thank Sapphire for allowing me to use her mixing in the demo. Oh, and McTricky for allowing me to use a Mitsuru line in here, too. Thanks so much, you three. <3

You have great range and energy! I've never heard your low voices but they are very lovely; I hope you use them more often~! And of course, your cute, high range seems to be your trump and you do it well. :3

[Sapphire]

Wowie. I like your low voice a lot! I think you should have added more of those voices because a lot of your demo was just high-pitched, cute, energetic voices (or maybe rearrange the order of the voices). I couldn't really hear what you were saying in that scene with the girl crying/yelling, and I would really have loved to hear a little more range in this demo because you're obviously capable of bringing that. I was also kind of surprised that this demo was a minute and fifteen seconds long because I felt like I didn't hear enough in this demo (I guess that's explained in the above paragraph).

I really think you've improved since you joined here, and in such a short amount of time. I think if you push yourself even further, you'll have the potential to become a pro in the near future.

You're welcome Konata~

Now let's see here...

Asmodeus of Lust... - Not much to say here. Given the character, the voice worked well.

I totally owned that noob - The next time we play Brawl, you should talk in this voice if we're in a call xD It sounded pretty geeky~

We have no common goals.. - I totally love your low voice and this just goes to show amazing your range is.

Geez...that stupid... -

We're in the same class... - Great voice and all but I feel the voice didn't go with the line. You sounded like a 9 year old, and the line seems like something said by a 15 year old. But that's just me.

You can't die just yet... I saw this on your Skype PM and lol'd xD But GREAT emotion here~ But, watch out on that outburst at the end. Some words were slurred there.

Don't let your guard down - I thought I was hearing Mitsuru again. (I've been hearing that phrase a lot in P3). But another great low voice. It was lighter than the voice you used as Mitsuru, and it felt natural.

Where do you want me to pierce you - Calum/Kanon's grunts were distracting from your voice itself. But you know I what I think of this already xD

Thanks so much, Damaru! That means a lot coming from you! :3

This right here was definitely a pleasant surprise. It made me so unbelievably happy. *__*

The original scrap that I had for the demo did include a lot more medium-lower voices, but I was like, "nah", because they lacked the emotion and energy that the other takes had. Since I didn't feel like redoing them, I kind of left them out and put takes in from projects I've already recorded for, which just happened to be the higher, cutesy voices.

Now let's see here...

Thanks so much for the critique, McTricky.

I figured there would be some audio leveling problems within there somewhere. Since I mixed it, I already know what they're saying, but I won't ever really know if others will, too, so I just kind of left it as is. xD

Holy crap I could not tell it was you in the beginning. The 3rd voice was one I have never even imagined coming from you so I'm really, really pleasantly surprised. Your cuter voices are definitely fantastic, but now you have a great lower range!=o You've made leaps since your last demo and it really shows.8D One nitpick I have is in the 3rd voice it seemed like you seemed a biiit too much noise removal. In general you slurred a bit whenever you shouted while using a high voice. Small things, small things though.

Uber great job, Konata!<33

Uber great job, Konata!<33

I kind of feel bad for the third line, because I can't do that voice unless I'm sick, which really sucks. But I'm doing my best to try and find it again. I shouldn't have included it, but it was such a delicious-sounding line that I had to do it! D|

Thanks so much xSPADE! <3 It's glad to know I've improved a lot! :3

[Gonax]

uhhh I'm speechless in a goodway lol
great demo!

[Jefferz]

It's amazing how much your range and talent has grown over the past two years. There were some voices like the last siren warning voice that sounded so different from your normal range so kudos to that. Overall it was a solid and strong demo Konata, well done!

[mongtsatsa]

Listening to this! I will critique as soon as I get back~
