Voice Acting Contest Final Results! :S

TOTAL:61 ***FINAL AVERAGED SCORE FROM ALL JUDGES***

LOL. This was a very original idea! I loved the way you implemented the perfect sounding background track with the perfect mood. The idea of a cartoonist going crazy and killing his boss... thats just hilarious man. I listened to this twice and couldnt stop chuckling at the ridiculous mood it set. However, the acting was not very good. You need to pause every time a line is spoken. A lot of the times you immediately switched to another character without pausing, and thus your voice cracked many times and it sounded like you were just talking into a microphone rather than setting up a scene. Either that or the scene was full of guys with stuttering problems. Just take your time with each line, you seem to have good ideas, now just take your time on each line and pause in between each one. Great mixing with the noises. I didnt like the way you used muffins, I was expecting him to barge into the bosses room, point a gun to his head, and say Hey... is that a muffin? If you give me that muffin I uhh... i wont kill youuu... or something crazy like that. Nice story, bad acting. keep it up you have great potential. -69

There was a good range but there were a few of the creations that really didn't fit very well and jarred, possibly from attempting too many voices. The CEO sounded far too similar to the cartoonist, but the whole piece was very well acted. The cartoonist's voice, which I'm gathering is your natural voice, was fantastically done. I showed a lot of real emotion and I was very impressed. The sfx, music and chanting characters worked very well but there were a lot strange abrupt cuts in the voice clips and music. Great story, but muffins was clearly just forced in, like an after-thought, which a slight disappointment. However, this piece showed some great acting abilities and I can see a lot of potential.

Where a nice array of characters was used, it somehow lacked personality. Despite that it was overall fairly entertaining.

*SPOILERS*

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS ADVICE! EMPHASISE THAT THEY ARE NOT ABUSE OR INSULTS! i only want to help you get better. please dont take it personally.

Admitedly this is a pretty unique idea. although execution of it requires a little more thought really. i laughed once at the beginning, the rest of it was a little samey. where you displayed a fair array of voices, the range of these voices was not so far apart... but luckily not to the point where they all just sounded the same. your vocal transitions are not realistic enough really.
When the cartoon guys turned evil and began hitting the main guy, well... you went.. "gah......." and that was it.. it wasnt sharp enough to simluate an actual experience of pain. in many respects your voices where not quite adventurous a they could have been... a little monotone for my liking.

none the less, i was absorbed into the story line and the mixing was quite good :D i am assuming you did ALL vocals including crowds. inwhich case you did a good job there :D script (referring to comedy aspect), requires more attention really. the chaarcters werent particularly fun enough to simulate there own comedy value... so it relies on the script to pick up the pace...

HOWEVER!!!
you spent some real time on this submission, and it shows. your skills are very good and the fact your ideas are so unique is what has pulled me into your work. you used some nice music and scene setting material, which certainly lent the submission an ambience appropriate to the feeling of the moment. it had a nice twist, despite the climax being a little tame, it was still very amusing.
i enjoyed listening to this very much.
if i could give you a tip, it would be to really express your self. its like your afraid someone will hear you. you dont express intense reaction or feeling. meaning you dont quite shout enough to be convincingly in the mood of anger/overjoyed ETC.....

nice work! very nice work indeed. good look with the competition and best of luck using your talenta in the future! :D

Interesting

In some places it seemed like you were trying to do a one take and I could tell when you were transitioning from one voice to another. Some of the voices sounded similar too each other and some of the lines seemed to rush at the end.

"You're not busy. . .

you're just a fat, big wimp!", Zuckyshow------>
I just LOVED the "cartoonist's mind" music in the background. It gave it a light feel. ALL of your characters were silly as Hell. *avoids listing them all and how funny they were, so people who haven't listened yet, won't be spoiled*
Hey and don't worry, you're not alone in this thought, Mr. Cartoonist, man. We have all thought of ________ our bosses too. The music that came on while he wa convincing himself to _______ his boss, was pretty dark. Great touch!
Best of luck to you on the contest, Zuckyshow!
This was cute and a bit different. Good idea, Mate.
Until they announce the winners. . .

..............Take care, be good and eat MUFFINS.period

Neato

It was a preety awsome story and you have quite a range of voices there.
The male prostitute kitten made me lul.
My only problem is it seemed that some of the voices needed a bit more refining, and seemed a bit ill-practiced.
Although, keep it up! I'd like to hear more like this.
