    Diction. I mumble like crazy in real life. Hell, my friends swear my clan has created our own language made up solely of mumbles and grunts. I do keep it on my mind all the time, but when I'm on a roll and getting really excited I'll sometimes forget to put more effort into being understandable and speed up XD

    Accents and any voice above medium, range in general I'm poor at.

    The actual acting. :X

    And screaming. I can do it if a character is supposed to be angry, but it sounds terrible if I'm supposed to be scared or something.

    There are so many ><

    1) Accents. Seriously, I have an okay british and some demented almost Russian thing, and that's about it. I live and the south and can't even manage a southern accent. How bad is that? XD

    2) My jaw - TMJ is the bane of my existence, and its been worse lately. Lower voices especially cause my jaw to lock up to the point where I can barely even open my mouth.

    3) Consistency/focus - I freak out all the time that my voices are never as consistent as I would like them to be, especially if I record separate scripts at different times. Also, giving a consistent and focused performance, especially when I'm working with other people or recording in real time/cold reads. I get easily distracted and think about everything except what I need to. Probably from lack of experience... need to fix this.

    My main VA weakness is just lack of emotion. I can't seem to find the right emotion for characters, and I see this written in every review of every project I'm in. I just can't seem to do it for some reason.

    Listening to myself and Consistency. Sometimes my voice reverts when I stay too deep or high for too long.

    Diction, acting, and consistency. My voice sometimes ends up falling out of character at times, I'm a big mumbler in real life, and it's sometimes hard for me to get into the moment whenever acting. Then, there's also energy. I'm not a very active person in real life, so...yeah....

    2.) Listening to myself, I am my worst critic, 3 minutes worth of lines leads up to taking 2-3 hours of my time.

    Enunciating is hard for me to do and I would always try to pronounce every word clearly whenever I get new roles. And doing an old man voice is so hard for me to do. I just can't sound like an old man for the life of me. Yelling in a deep voice is also hard. Whenever I yell, my voice gets higher. I need to work on yelling for deep-voiced characters. xD

    A very nasally voice for me. No matter what, I always sound so nasally. But, I'm gonna keep trying until I sound better!
