Haha sounds good buddy. I've actually been stupidly busy this weekend, voicing scripts and spending time with the woman whenever she nags, tomorrow I should have plenty of time to check out more of your show. I've got to voice one more character on monday. It's a WoW Machinima Defenders of Azeroth, I started out just auditioning for 3 parts... I got 6 of them lol.

I can't believe the Grammy still means anything. Bunch of dicksucking pigs only interested in sucking their own dicks. Pigdicks.

Anyway, I think you just gave that Eye kid a heart-attack.

This is where I tell you all that results don't actually exists, this competition was nothing but a ruse, a fake, and a scam.

You just were all trolled.

OR, maybe it IS real... and maybe results will be in here in about 2 days... MAYBE.

HO SNAP! THE RESULTS ARE IN BIZITCHES!!! Oh wait... that joke was already done...

No but seriously, I sent mine in.

With that said, Great job all around! Without pointing out anyone, here are some general issues I came across:
-MIXING MIXING MIXING... more specifically puffs, pops, dead air, but a bunch of you were relying on music and SFX wayyy too much.
-Another thing is range. This is probably the hardest thing to improve. It's something that I and most VA's have issues with. It's really something that just needs practiced and a lot of voice exercises.
-Writing... a bunch of recordings I was totally lost in because I had no idea what the hell was happening. Part of that was voices being similar to each other, part was do to too much music/SFX, but also because of the writing. Remember, this is audio only. You might be able to see the scene in your head, but the rest of us can't. Try to make it so we can follow along with audio only.
-One last thing I'd like to mention are these "Whisper yells/screams". It's something I have trouble with if I'm recording from home. I realize it's a self-conscious thing, but if your character's going to scream, them scream. If it clips, work on your mixing skills or get better equipment. If you can't do that or you just flat out HAVE to be quiet, find a way to cut out the scream and make the skit work.

On the other hand:
-I LOVED how many very original ideas there were. Especially when they were out of the Christmas mind-set.
-Generally speaking, the acting was great. Everyone has an area to work in, but it was mostly high quality stuff and I would be personally happy to scout most of you for my series, and other things.
-There were several skits that were funny as hell and even though that's not a judging point, you still deserve props!

Once the results are given and you see my comments, scores, etc..., feel free to PM me for more details, advice or what have you. :)

WOOO!

Awesome advice JaShinYa. So how many more reviews do we need before the results go up?


Need a voice actor? Give me a call! I've got 8 years of experience and great vocal range.

I think Fatkid said 2 more people before JaShinYa finished, so one more? That and I think FatKid said on his profile that he won't be on that much because of school.
