You've got a nice voice, and I do believe there is a way for you to use it in a way that fits with what voice acting requires. What is something of a hindrance to you with character voice acting is that you have a prominent accent (I'm sure you get that a lot) and the language that you speak with that accent is affecting how your English lines could be delivered with natural rhythm and well-placed emphasis. My favorite line by you was "I knew it. You look just like her! / Yes, that girl. Platina." It had the least noticeable accent, and your delivery was pretty good. Again, it's not that you don't have a good voice or that your acting is atrocious (it's not), but your range of cast-worthy characters will unfortunately remain limited unless you can conceal your accent by being taught the basic American or European English accent. Other areas of voice acting like commercials or narration have way more flexibility with tonality, though still require honed acting. I encourage you to keep practicing voice acting and if you're serious about expanding your vocal fitting to look into a voice coach when you can. Don't ever think that there isn't a place for you in the voice acting community and I wish you well. =]

Thanks a lot for giving critiques to my work. Unfortunately I can't get a voice coach until a while because I'm only 16 and still live with my parents so until then I can't really get any voice coaching for voice acting and until that time all I can really do is keep on practicing by myself. You're right about English not being my native spoken language (Tagalog is my native language). English became natural to me along Tagalog when I was 11 but the one thing that pissed me off and could not conceal was my accent because people think I sound weird when I speak in English, especially with the hard d, t, r, s, o, and u sounds (especially hard t's and it sounds like a "z" when I say words with hard s sounds such as sounds) and I also have problems with my annunciation with words that have those sounds in them.

Here I thought that was bad. Whenever I speak in Japanese it's even worse than that but that's a completely different story.

Guess what? ANOTHER BUMP!

Lucian: CrowSama26 - I thought your take on this scene was pretty good. The voice you chose fit very well with the character in my opinion. Although I haven't played this Valkyrie game from the series, I do believe I could imagine the character's voice sounding like your performance. Other than that, your acting was good, the mixing was decent, and I really enjoyed this scene! Keep it up and I can't wait to see more from you! ^.^
