    To start off in a mean way, the "backround" music is too loud and your lines are way too quiet, and the reel doesn't flow well because there's so much silence between the different parts. Also, a demo should rather be one minute long.

    Intro: Your voice is so cute, hehe!
    First voice: The line is too long and you maxed out a lot of the "enemies", please watch out for that. Nice emotion, maybe a bit forced. Again, I can't hear you through the music.
    Second voice: That seems like a cute and convincing little girl. Try to make all lines more equal in length, though.
    Third voice: Really great! I love this voice and emotion.
    Fourth voice: A cute voice that would definitely fit a lot of anime girls.
    Fifth voice: Is it just me or does this one sound drunk?
    Sixth voice: The voice is pretty but the delivery needs a bit more power, especially at the end.
    Seventh voice: Sounds forced, even for a cartoony character. It's best to only include your strong voices.
    Eigth voice: Very nice! But it sounds the same as the third and sixth voices.

    I hope that this doesn't come off as an attack. You're good, it's just that this demo isn't as good. Here's some threads on demo reels: 1 2
    Hmm, I was sure there were a lot more helpful ones. In any case, good luck to you in the future! You have a really nice voice.

    Alrighty this is your first demo reel and as such will be critiqued as one! (this will basically be focusing on what you can do to make the next one better, instead of judged on it's own merits.)

    Technical aspects.

    1. Your music is playing much louder than your voice, which is a common occurrence when it comes down to it it's always better to have your music nothing more than bg filler just to be on the safe side.
    2. Your reel is too long. Most reels should be a minute and a half at the most. Any longer can turn some people off from watching your reel.
    3. Your mic was picking up a lot of dead air. This can be alleviated with proper noise removal or perhaps you have your gain up too high.

    Vocal aspects.

    1. You seem most comfortable with young cutesy voices, they seem the most natural sounding. I'd also recommend trying out more cartoony characters you'd probably excel at it.
    2. Really, really work on your enunciation and watch your slurring. This was really the main issue I had with your voice acting.
    3. Acting wasn't shabby although some parts had me unconvinced (usually these moments where when you weren't in the go-lucky happy attitude) work on these other emotions more and you'll be gold.

    All in all it wasn't bad, most of the issues you suffered from nearly all first demo's suffer from. You've got lots of potential and I can't wait to hear how your future demos sound.
    Making monster voices since 1969.
