Lol at the *snap of the fingers = breaking of neck sound effect* Some of your kid voices sounded kind of odd. I couldn't really tell how old they were, but they sounded very cartoony so this would be good for an animation. Your acting is pretty good, although it is more centered around a comedy aspect rather than a serious aspect. Take in mind that just because its a comedy, doesn't mean the voices can't be serious. ACT like the characters are serious, even though it is a very non-serious atmosphere. For instance, you could really make the singing kid act a bit crazier, a lot more scared, and a lot more enthusiastic.

The snowman was a pretty funny character. You could have made him a mobster who believes he is a snowman, which is kind of what I was lead to believe there for a while. Your writing needs some improvement. In retrospect, it was just a snowman attacking kids and then arrested. You could have really built upon this idea by getting more into characters with everyone. This allows you to come up with ideas MUCH easier. You'd be surprised with how much improv work you can do by simply making a character and acting him to heart, or a close to heart as you can get to.

JanShinYa's Judgment:

Acting: 29/35
Fit: 22/25
Originality: 12/15
Range: 10/15
Mixing: 7/10
Final: 80/100

Comments:

The kids had very similar voices, which is the main reason for the loss of points in range. The other points from range were lost because the cop's voice was not too far away from the kids' either. The kids weren't nearly as scared or disturbed as they should have been with an insane, demonic snowman running around killing people. The cop (Who came out of nowhere), had a tone that sounded like he was landing a plae rather than firing a shotgun at a monster.

Also, with the lack of range in the cop's voice, there was a lack of fit. He wasn't as authoritative or tough as I would imagine. These were reasons points were lost in acting and fit. As for mixing, the bells and shotgun were a bit choppy and I didn't understand why there was a busy highway in the background. It didn't fit the scene well. Also, I didn't even realize Flakey was killing people until listening through again. Make that major event stand out.

Finally, originality took a hit because a murderous "Frosty" has been done before (An example being Ebolaworld's "Snowy") and in this contest I am really looking forward to skits done to a more general winter theme. The good points- I liked the voice of Flakey, overall sound quality was pretty good, and the short song at the end gave me a chuckle. There's a lot of really good voice acting potential if there was more effort getting into character.

Most of the voices are diverse and done really well, but some additional audio and music would have greatly improved this submission

EyesAdrift responds:

Thanks very much for the review. They were supposed to be in an alley way lol. Better score than I thought I would get for something I threw together in 30 minutes lol.

Nice work!

You have an impressive range and control of your voices.

EyesAdrift responds:

Thanks!

awesome!

The sounds were right on spot. Really good.

EyesAdrift responds:

:) Thank you.

Fantastic range and creative concept!

You have excellent command over your voice, and more than fulfilled the requirement of having distinctive voices. Sound quality was damn near perfect, acting was spot-on, and sound effects were appropriate and well-placed. As Nintendoart said, the absence of music was the only thing keeping this from a perfect score. Having some music in your next track will really spruce it up. Overall, excellent job and good luck in the competition!

EyesAdrift responds:

Thanks man I really appreciate the kind words. Yeah I couldn't find music and I kind of rushed it, but it was hella fun to make. Next time I'll take a few to find some music. Submit yours so that I can listen to it man!
