I'm a fan of Iron Maiden. This is simply one of the first things that came into my head for a narrative as a voice acting sample. While it may not be the best impression of Vincent Price ever, I feel it is a decent statement of how I can perform when it comes to voice acting.

I know the volume is low on this piece - I failed to compensate for the difference between my recording facilities and the sounds output on Newgrounds. I'll play about with it later.

I have a range of voices, send me a PM if you want to hear some more of my works.

"Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea,
for the Devil sends the beast with wrath,
because he knows the time is short.
Let him who hath understanding,
reckon the number of the beast.
For it is a human number -
its number is six hundred and sixty six."

Nice voice acting. I see now why you suggested I use it in my flashes. This sounds very professional and could make a bad animation look pretty good with a little wind in the background and maybe a couple explosions. Not bad at all.

I'm glad you liked it - if you want me to give you some vocals, let me know and we can go from there. I'm not the world's best vocal artist, but we've all got to start somewhere.

Yeah, but this is the Vincent Price introduction to the popular Iron Maiden song "Number of the Beast" from the 1982 album of the same name.

The translation error was down to a translation of some obscure passage from a religious text (possibly the Bible) that has since been sourced to read that the number of the beast is in fact 616.

Well done! You have a great story telling voice. I might need you for one of my next pieces so I'll be sure to contact you! Also, I love the Iron Maiden song too ;) "666 IS THE NNUMMBAAAHH OF DA BEEAASSSTT!!"

Just for the record, the number of the beast is actually 616 - there was some sort of error in translation from a 9th century monk.

"Pretty good."

date: January 25, 2009

It came out quiet and some words were hard to hear. You had a good tone to your voice, and made it sound "convincing", I would like to hear this in context of a flash movie or something. Keep up the good work.

Kind regards -

I'll be getting a new program soon and will be experimenting more with what my voice is truly capable of. Thanks for the help.

Excellent voice acting. Next sample should be singing Dark Etneral Night by Dream Theater.
No one dared to
Speak of the terrible danger
The hideous ancient warnings
Forged in the void of night

He has risen up
Out of the blackness
Chaos
The last of the prophets
Sinister
A sickening monstrous sight

Through the stifling heat
Underneath the pale green moon

I burned with a thirst
To seek things not yet seen

Climbing endless stairs
Leading to the choking room

Eager to explore
His most shocking mysteries

Drifting beyond all time
Out of a churning sky
Drawn to the beckoning light
Of the dark eternal night

Black forces
Rage in the vortex,
Fighting
Waves of destruction
Swallowing
The echo of the universe

I am the last
Born of the blood of the pharaohs
The ultimate god of a rotting creation
Sent to unleash this curse

Restless crowds draw near
Nameless hooded forms appear

Amidst fallen ruins
Grotesque creatures battle

Shadowed on a screen
Yellow evil faces leer

Vacant monuments
Corpses of dead worlds left behind

Drifting beyond all time
Out of a churning sky
Drawn to the beckoning light
Of the dark eternal night

Trapped in a hellish dream
Spinning past worlds unseen
And frightfully vanishing
Into the dark eternal night

Drifting beyond all time
Out of a churning sky
Drawn to the beckoning light
Of the dark eternal night

Trapped in a hellish dream
Spinning past worlds unseen
And frightfully vanishing
Into the dark eternal night

You will start on Monday, I can't pay you in cash because this isn't a legitimate business but you will be paid generously in gay sex flavors by my sex slaves. Your work will consist of reading epics and poetry to me until I get a huge boner and are well satisfied.

So what sort of perks can you offer me? Good working hours? Star on my dressing room door? Vast quantities of Strawberry Milkshake?

I shall consider the terms, please speak to my agent in the meantime.
