D-Mac: Ah, that probably took a bit more time to write than necessary. :-P I'm just posting this message occasionally so that if people want good solid work they have some place to go to. If they're not interested in said solid work then.... Well, they can stick around this very dead thread.

Does no one actually read the posts I make, or are you all just being willfully ignorant?

To reiterate once again in all-caps: IF YOU WANT VOICE ACTING HELP OR WANT TO JOIN THE VOICE ACTING CLUB, GO TO THE FOLLOWING MESSAGEBOARDS TO DO IT. YOU WON'T FIND MUCH HELP HERE ANY MORE BECAUSE ALL THE COMPETENT VAS HAVE MIGRATED TO THOSE BOARDS:

http://voiceacting.p..ards62.com/index.cgi

http://voiceactingal...com/board/index.php

On the otherhand, I guess it'll be a test for intelligence if they actually make an effort to notice messages not 5 posts before theirs.

Wow, people are still posting in this thread? That's pretty frickin' unbelievable thar!

Anyway, for people posting for help or wanting to join where the club has actually migrated to now, you might want to post on the VAC boards over here:

There's also another place called the Voice Acting Alliance:

I really, need to make up new clips. The ones towards the bottom are getting pretty old, and the ones up top aren't really samplers so much as audioplays just starring me:

Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy Excerpt
This was for a competition of sorts where people took a section from the original BBC HHGTTG radioplay and mixed together their take on the material. This was what I did, for the heck of it. Heavily surreal, rather creepy and slightly odd.

Seishirou's Monologue from Tokyo Babylon Volume 7
3 minute or so long sustained monologue with vaguely evil overtones. For those who care, SPOILERS TO TOKYO BABYLON. For those who don't, you might be marginally creeped out to know that the monologue is spoken to a young man. Ah, yaoi. Is there no man you CAN'T creep out the first time they hear about it?

Metal Gear WTF
Yeah, like.... I watched one too many Metal Gear Solid 3 trailers and I decided "*I* want to make something that sounds like a trailer that suggests that there are 6 gajillion story threads going at once and you really don't know what is going on, but it all sounds awesome and cool anyway". This was the result.

Random Sampler
Really old, should be retired, but this clip is basically mixed up with clips I'd done for other people's productions. It's a handy sort of benchmark for how I should improve on making samplers in the future.

Urgh.

The search option is there for a reason, yanno.

Ah, this talk of a VAC VA-related competition typesque thing kinda reminds me of the VA Jam we had recently over on the Voice Acting Alliance:

http://www.voiceacti..howthread.php?t=8174

And man.... I thought we escaped from all the drama and now it's back again in full force. Ah, internet drama. When shall we escape from your expansive bosom? I've absolutely mellowed out ever since I stopped posting megaposts too. So mellooooooooooow....

In other news, I'd say I've been in a bit of a slump voice acting wise, too. Except I can't say that now, because I've just appeared in two flashes in quick succession recently:

PALADIN episode 3
Detective Hearst Case 01

Nothing for a month and then BOOM! Two at once. Strange. O.o

You didn't leave an email to send the lines to, so here are my tryouts for the lines:

http://homepages.ihu..sunleashedep2aud.zip

Happy 300th page people! Boy, that's quite a bit. Man, 100 pages ago... I was still actively posting and creating huge megaposts that nobody read but amused myself with its sarcastic content and passable wit. Man, when did I get the time to sit down and do those, anyway?

Anyway, here's to 300 pages and many more to come!

Fired off an email in your general direction with my samples!

It ain't a megapost, just a mini one.

GrantM: Honestly, you should know the answer to this without asking. Weren't you saying before about how much your samples sucked and how much people thought your samples sucked? And now suddenly you're back to this clueless state again. Are you acting this oblivious on purpose or is it simply a knack you've picked up from somewhere?

In any case.... People are being praised for those clips because they're doing those clips for fun and have a natural exuberance which is infectiously entertaining. Your clips are still very much within the formative stages, where people will politely (perhaps) critique and tell you what's wrong, but nobody's going to break out into song over having heard your samples.

Here are some of the highlights (or lowlights if you will): You don't have particularly interesting scenarios in your samples, you have a one-note tone to your voice, your attempts at acting are shallow and obvious, you have a strange pattern of breathing that breaks up your sentences giving rise to..... strange..... pau.... s.... es where there should be none (all of this have been mentioned before and many times). You'll need to do a lot more work on your articulation and all of the aforementioned problems before people will listen to your samples out of anything but morbid curiousity and misguided pity.

Please read Elliair's advice on page 288, it's certainly one of the least sarcastic reviews of your samples you'll ever receive. Consider her words CAREFULLY and then act upon them. Listening to advice is one thing. Actively following that advice and improving yourself is another thing completely. Don't get the two confused. There might be hope for you yet, but the way you keep trying to jump the gun seems a little too needy. Stop making a fool of yourself with these random, inane posts, put your nose to the grindstone and get to work. Complaining about how things aren't going your way gets you nowhere.

-MinimaN-: Not sure if the hag role is an open one, but if it is, here's my audition:

If it isn't simply disregard!

I feel like adding the extension to that saying by Terry Pratchett: "Most people forget that there are steps after that", which I believe is applicable somewhat to GrantM. Although like you say, maybe he's more mindful about those steps than the first one. Like trying to build a highrise from the top floor down. XD

You know you're visiting this thread for all the wrong reasons when all you want to see is GrantM pulling the next GrantMism out of his earhole. I mean, seriously. This is Schadenfreude at its finest.
