  1. #1 Ahoy! 
    Hi everyone, another new recruit

    I'm just a hobbyist with a mic at the moment, but my goal is to develop my skill and see how far I can get!

    I particularly love playing villains, because they are usually the most interesting, fleshed-out characters

    If you want to check out my stuff I've started uploading demo clips on YouTube - have a look!

    Thanks for the tip! Yeah they're all totally raw...however as a terminal procrastinator I have set myself a task of putting something on YouTube at least once a week. Then in a couple of months' time I will have loads of clips to put together a more polished demo reel.

    That's the plan anyway!

    I think many of us start off as hobbyists with a mic! At least your honest

    The last clip you posted (the one I am quoting) is a great improvement on the first two samples in so much as it sounds more polished with respect to production values. (Less 'puffs' or drawing in air against the mic). There will be times where a sharp intake of air or a sigh will be in character, but over all, heavy breathing against a microphone is not generally your best friend... I don't know what kind of microphone you have, but pop filters can do wonders in cleaning up even 'raw' recordings. As far as the actual delivery, I think the voice was good and clear in the last recording so far as diction, and you had some variety of pacing but not a whole lot of variation in emotional tone or pitch. One could argue that for a narrator you might desire more objective qualities in a voice, though, so long as it doesn't come off as too flat.

    Just my two cents. If anything I'm honest, but I don't mean to bombard you with any vicious kind of critique and I sincerely hope to see you learn, grow, and participate in upcoming projects here at VAA.com, or elsewhere!
