[RegretfulExpert Voice Demo]

Righteous

I like this form of voice demo, it's a clever little setup. I mean, on a professional level it's probably wrong, but fuck it, I liked it.

Although admittedly, if you do have multiple voices, they definitely weren't given enough time in this piece. You should probably shoot for equal ratios of talking in each voice type that you do, even if that's only a few voices.

However, on a vocabulary score, you get 10/10 for using the word "sextastifabulicious". I seriously love that word.

Your talking voice is good, your RAAAGE voice, to my ears, does need more work, anger, and energy. I mean no offense by that, also I didn't really get to hear enough of it to feel like I could give an accurate opinion. But when you do go at it, be careful with your input volume so you don't accidentally cause audio clipping, that annoying crackled distortion.

Tough guy voice I also didn't get to listen to enough to tell if I liked it or not, but from the brief second I heard, it seemed decent.

This is all just my opinion though, I'm an amateur myself so I could be all wrong, but I figured I'd drop a review because they're pretty infrequent to get on here, and it's nice to at least have a glimpse of what other folks think of it.

RegretfulExpert responds:

Well, it's just a quick soliloquy i wrote in about 5 minutes. i was just trying to make a quick example. i intend on doing some narrations of some of my better reviews, (One of them uses sextastifabuliciorific, LOL).
for the voices, yea my "RAAAGE" voice usually has a bit more emotional fervor in it xD. these are all just short examples, and my library of voices isn't limited to those 2, just to say. my only real challenge with this was lack of subject. that script is an exact replay of what i did for 15 minutes before typing it up. LOL,
ANYWAY...
Thanks for the 8/10, and the 10/10 for the word

Ugh I love this so much. I think this is my favorite piece from you so far. It's a shame you don't have a higher quality mic, because I actually want to hear what it would sound like. I'm not saying go buy a better mic right now though, the stuff is fun to do but you gotta draw the line and be like "What, no, I'm not spending on it because I don't have the cash to spare right now, and this isn't actually going to generate cash for me, fun as it may be."

But if you DO get a better mic, I want you to record this again and submit it.

Your mic quality isn't so bad or anything, I mean honestly the quality of the mic is good enough to get you into parts, but I think I've gotten a few parts simply because my mic sounded better than some of the other auditions.

This is great though, seriously. Keep it up.

mrbipolar responds:

indeed... I needs money for a mic and since I mostly do not get paid for the stuff I do it is an impossiblity at the moment. Thanks for you feedback! I will most definitely record this again once I get a better quality mic.

[Distracted me]

Hah, this is pretty spot on a character actually. This also impresses me because it's drastically far off from your other submissions, which indicates awesome vocal range.

I'm taking a point off for a couple things, well of course you did this just for kicks so it's not like you put major effort into it, but anyway, here's my constructive nonsense.

Your mic, I think I already said that in another review though, the quality is actually decent but it's not quite on great. Not much you can do about that.

The words were kinda too fast, as though not enough pause between the lines.

But hah, major points for managing to pull of that whistling on the words, this would be great for some weird kind of character everyone loves to feel uncomfortable watching.

Actually it sounds just like Herbert from Family Guy, the pedophile. Maybe this is an actual quote from him and I failed to realize that. Whatever.

Good stuff man!

mrbipolar responds:

Yeh I have absolutely got to get me a new mic. This is not a direct quote of herbert though he is most definitely the inspiration for this voice. As far as the pauses I just talk fast by nature, once I get going kinda hard to stop myself. Thanks for the review man.

This is wicked, I need to get this to play out of the time clock at work when I punch in for my shift in the morning. Awesome tune. This would be great in a flash if used right, I hope it does someday.

LoneEagle responds:

Thanks for the review, it is much appreciated. Glad you like the song.

I like it, you're pretty good at conveying the emotion in the lines, which is a really important thing a lot of people forget about. Still room to improve on that though, sometimes it sounds like you got a little lost in the lines, but definitely good work.

Your voice itself is actually quite good, smooth and clear, went well with the story. Complimenting someone's natural voice is a pretty awkward experience, but I'll just go ahead and say yours was nice to listen to.

My biggest complaint is that honestly, it's too quiet. I'm not saying you need to talk louder, but perhaps use the Amplify feature to boost the volume or something. I'm no professional so that could be horrible advice, but that's the way I'd do it. I had to crank the volume to max and adorn my headphones just to hear you.

Also your mic has some static noise associated with it, of course I'm not gonna say to buck up and go buy a proper mic, but perhaps you should also toy with the Noise Removal feature to remove some of it.

Nice stuff though, it was definitely worth uploading!

anjidu responds:

thank you so much ^_^ (i will keep that in mind)

:3 thank you very much on that as well.

yea, when i amplify it gets even more static and noise. i still need to figure out how to make it decent quality. im working with a rock band mic so idk how much better it is going to get >.<. im trying to get some money to get a preamp converter bc apparently my dad has an old mic from the 70's or something (but i tend to be bad with money and spend it almost immediately after i get some TT.TT)

thank you so much. im happy you enjoyed :D and thank you for the constructive criticism. ^_^

[touch of boredom]

Your voice is actually pretty good, but unfortunately it sounds to my ears that your new mic is of questionable quality. That's going to be a big turn off for most listeners, but don't take too much personal offense because your actual voice is nice, it's just hard to tell that when the audio quality is taking a beating.

mrbipolar responds:

I agree with you on the quality. I am hoping that once I get the rest of my equipment together my quality shall improve. Here's hoping! Thanks for the review!

[Dr. Le' Quack hacked you!]

Righteous

Oh Seymour, you always upload stuff that doesn't seem to serve any purpose at all and yet is still fun to listen to.

PM-Seymour responds:

why thank you sir :D I aim to please

[Desknight VA Demo Reel]

Righteous

Whoa, are you really 14? I'd consider this work damn good even for like a 20 year old. I read you got the part as Archy, so that makes you my robot buddy.

I'm not gonna say your current work is godlike or anything, but man it's really good. So if you can do this good now, you'll really be killer at this as you age more.

Desknight responds:

Thank you! ^_^
"Did you get your eight hours of sleep sir?"

Yeah, maybe my voices would be more solid when my voice stops cracking -_-
Thank you for the words of niceness! :D

[Remorse Is For The Dead]

Righteous

Look, I'm not knowledgeable at all when it comes to music, so I can't really tell you if this song "excelled in technical execution" or something. But what I can definitely tell you is that I seriously loved this song. The kinda rough sound to it combined with the melody hit the mood for the title just right in my book.

Hexol94 responds:

Thanks a Bunch, It means a lot to hear that, I barely get any recognition here so I take what i get to heart, thanks a bunch man, I'm very glad you like it. Also thanks for the rating i Digg it.
