Tom VanDickwinkle while in his old age looks back on his days of being an astronaut and remembers his friend, Steve Stummer and how he past away on that fateful day.

It gets loud in a few places (my bad) because of the the new audio recording program I'm trying out (it is awful). So turn down your volume.

Anyway this was just something I put together within 40 minutes for the voice acting competition. I just wish I could of added some music and dramatic echo effects to get you in the mood, but hey try to enjoy this joke of a submission.

"__REVIEW FROM CONTEST__"

date: August 11, 2009

FINAL SCORE - 68 *averaged from all judges*

The plot wasnt very interesting because your acting wasnt very good. It was far too monotone and it sounded like you were talking to yourself. Plus, the characters didnt sound very different from eachother. Technically you only had two, but one of them you tried to sound as a younger version of himself correct? So I guess that counts as three. The originality was alright, but you know zombies in space doesnt make any sense whatsoever, which I knew you were going for but.. it was just to weird. Your character didnt really have that much of a physical or mental disorder, and you cant count the zombies as that character because you never said any lines with the zombies or even tried to make it seem as if they were there. Im sorry but I just didnt see much effort put into this audio, if you want to improve then develoep your characters more efficiently by thinking of how big they are and what they might sound like in real life. Try then to SOUND like they actually are talking in real life instead of just you breathing into a microphone. - 59

Thanks for entering the competition! *read below to see what the other judges said*

COMMENTS: Only two voices and not three. The narrator is Tom and the gun making a Pew-Pew sound doesn't count. No mixing.

There wasn't much variation between the two astronauts, they sounded very much the same and the emotion was there, it just seemed forced. I didn't feel like they were two people actually experiencing the entire thing, more like a guy sitting in a chair reading off his lines... I wasn't convinced. Nevertheless, I LOVED the story, it was cliché but you made it your own and "PEW PEW." Tee-hee! Now, about the ending, again, Steve sounded too forced in his dying but I think that was part of the idea so I loved it, even the sound he made as he died. Sweet prince, marvelous!!! Interesting that his introspective voice is much deeper than his speaking voice too. Subtle but worthy of being noticed.

"Good Night, sweet Prince. . ."

Steve taught us ALL about life and death, MAXL5------>
I don't think you could ask for much MORE than, Astro Fighters, inefficient gun sounds, panic attacks and SPACE ZOMBIES!
*giggles at the --pyoo--pyoo-- sound of the space gun*
This was short, sweet, manly, action filled (with Space Adventures, no less), and touches the subtle human drama that comes in hand when travelling with another man alone for God knows how long they WERE out there. Heh heh heh
I'm wishing you the best of luck, Man, in the contest.

................Take care, be good and share your likes BEFORE you die.period

"This Space Journey Could Pew-Pew It's Way to 2nd"

date: June 15, 2009

This brave space journey strangely reminds of Gears of War....in space.
Requirements: Met; Contest-Eligible.

Acting: Like I said the voice acting reminds me of Gears of War with Steve as Marcus and Tom as Dom while old Tom sounding like Zeus from Greek Mythology. Score: 8/10
Fit: Astronauts aren't very stereotypical but big manly men are, and the peace fits them up perfectly, but the panic-attacks and screaming weren't really exclaimed as disorders in this segment. I would've screamed too if space zombies came and ate my limbs. The gun sound however, is beyond me. Honestly if that gun sound wasn't explained as a joke, I would've criticized it.
Score: 7/10
Originality: It's a tale of astronauts, space zombies (real orignal name there. atleast it's better than aliens) , and a fallen friend. Nothing really original here. Score: 5/10
Range: The difference of voices is really good, therefore should receive a good score. Score: 9/10.
Mixing: Mixing is professionally done, just the way it should be. Score: 10/10

Author's Response:

That was a very well done and detailed review. This submission was just something I put together very quickly and I thought it would be a good test for the new audio recording program I was using.

Acting: I agree.
Fit: The disorders were forgotten until 2 minutes before I finished.
Originality: You are right, it wasn't very original. In the original script, the astronauts were dick warriors from the planet Vagion, fighting against clones of Patrick Swayze and Adam Sandler, but I thought it would be too different for people, so I changed the idea.
Range: Thank you.
Mixing: And another thank you.
