Thanks! This review is extremely generous.

Thank you. To be honest I've been doing this stuff for a couple of years, and while I sure as shit wouldn't call it mastered, I have significantly improved at this voice type over time. It's not quite how I talk all the time, but it is relatively close to my normal speaking voice, more than it should be I guess considering a voice actor should be skilled in acting in many different voice types, and not just acting while a microphone happens to be in front of him. But whatever, keep trying I suppose.

Thanks!

Wait, which ten seconds was it? Heh, kidding.

I once asked a local blues musician by the name of Ernie Southern some tips about being a vocalist. He said "Ya gotta do whatcha can."

Don't try to be someone else, let your voice be itself and your personal touch shine through. Training yourself to go lower is probably fine, but as far as I'm concerned you shouldn't worry too much if you can only go so far, at least for now. It's more about the material. The acting, the writing, the singing technical skill, whatever it is. Besides, I'm a one trick pony. I'll look into your stuff sometime when I'm not drunk and going to bed.

Also thanks a bunch for the compliments. Max Payne is so amazing. I know people want the next RDR, and I do too, but what I REALLY want is more Max Payne. I can only play these missions I've memorized so many times, and the in-depth multiplayer is mostly dead. And fucking Quantum Break is on a console, so until it gets PC ported, I can't even experience more of Sam Lake's wonderful writing goddamn it.

Hm, I did struggle a bit with getting the volume proper. I think you're right, though. The original Max Payne theme is actually my ringtone, and this interpretation was very wonderfully crafted, so it is absolutely a crime to not give it proper spotlight.

I'm alright, I'm in a little battle with what was diagnosed as chronic rhinosinusitis that's lasted me a few months now, but it seems to be getting better, and even if not, I clearly have bursts in time when I'm able to record regardless. Although it does make it a bit more of a pain in the ass for me.

Thanks for the review!

EDIT: In light of your words I did go and change the file to replace the current one so that the music would be cranked a tad, I think I did but Newgrounds doesn't seem to update the file immediately. That or it does, and I've failed.
