TOTAL: 131/150
Additional Comments: There was some background hiss.There were some pops in the mic as well. There was pretty good range in here though Steve and a couple fo the reporters were pretty close. At times it seemed as if you were reading so work on sounding more natural. The villain was not very original. Since he's bitchface man, work on making him more flamboyant. He's a character worthy to overact. I enjoyed this skit. Good job writing it!

Ragemar responds:

Thanks a mint for taking the time to write out a review. It's going to be extremely helpful, as I think I may have gotten myself hooked on doing this sort of thing. Expect more.

Additional Comments: The SFX could be taken down a notch. a good range between characters. pretty original. Maybe a little more emotion from the interviewer.

[TDK1987 Super Hero Sketch]

TOTAL: 138/150
Additional Comments:I like the voices. The store clerk and superhero were a little hard to seperate at times and the superhero's voice slipped a couple of times from the sound you were trying to give him. This was an original script. I think a bit more emotion would have been awesome, but overall this was a really good job!

SingingmuteStuff responds:

Thanks :)

Additional Comments: You had good range with your voices and good mixing. The whole skit wasn't very original but it was well written and wasn't bad by any means.I would have liked mrore enthusiasm throughout the skit. The villain's voice had the best acting and sound overall. Definitely build on that.

StomachBug responds:

Thanks JaShinYa, I had a load of fun doing this bit for the contest. I'm actually surprised you rated it so well, there was so much hefty competish in this one that's for sure! Literally bursting to enter the next one, hope it's to do with guys who are about to pee themselves

[Department of Heroics]

TOTAL: 142/150
Additional Comments:This is probably one of the most original submitted for this contest. Maybe overact just a bit, even with the clerk even though he is the most normal character. Really good humor and continuity. Good range, though i wouldn't have put "The Rusty Queen" and "skat man" in the same skit due to the similar voice. Great job mixing!

mrbipolar responds:

you're too kind. Thank you for your honest critique!

[NG Voice Acting Contest 8]

TOTAL: 142/150
Additional Comments: Great job mixing for the most part, you had a clear range of voices and excellent enthusiasm. I did get lost during the script at one point when a bunch of voices just started flying around.I'm not sure if there was supposed to be someone speaking on a phone or something like that a couple of times during some of the long pauses. If there was, i could barely hear it. I like the idea of the 4chan characteristics for superheros.

PM-Seymour responds:

Yea towards at the end I was literally scrambling for something to do, and it just...tumbled. lol

[mother/daughter]

THIS SUCKS!

OMFG DIS SOOKS SO MOUCH!!! I CANNT BELEVE YOU DID VOYCES SO CREPPY!

I love you.

(For real, good stuff. I like the mother's Jewish voice. Maybe just add a bit more texture to the mother's voice to make it sound more old. Great job overall!)

BrickMcRunfast responds:

hahaha, thanks man!! i have another "new yorker" type voice that's more like a heavy smoker, but it's much deeper so I didn't want to use it.

no but seriously it does suck........ i'll do better next time...... PLEASE DON'T HIT ME AGAIN!!

[To save the world you kno]

VAC7 Comments

Josh:
First, I have to take points off for the pitch manipulation. Also, the demons and the imp didn't really give a lot for me to judge on. Especially the demons as it was just jibberish. On the other hand, this was a really cool idea. I really wish you could have expanded on this.

Andrew:
I really like this as a concept. Just putting on your headphones and closing your eyes makes this skit really fun to listen to. That being said it really doesn't work for this competition. I can't judge you on range cause all your voices have some kind of filter or alteration to them. Your acting was very good but I really can only judge your acting of the one voice. Very original and I think the concept is friggin' awesome. Story was a bit lacking but that is kind of due to the time limit on a skit like this. I would love to see more work like this from you!

Bryson:
None

SimCorder:
holy #%@# your demon impression was freaking creepy. Although your voices and impressions are extremely diffrent from one another. the guardian kind of hogs a majority of the screen time though. Interesting approach to the apocalypse theme, a spirtual being protecting the savior of the world, although a somwhat common concept has never been done in this perspective before. Your tuning and music put you into a sort of trance, its relaxing dispite the horror elements of this submission. This feels like something out of that exmortis game, except you got this relaxing trance along with it.

Rabidssquirrel responds:

Josh: I had been working on a project before I realized the time constraint. I had a half-hour of something completely different. Then I saw the time constraints. Shame on me for only briefly skimming the rules. lol. You're completely right. I thought I thought I was going to get straight up disqualified for unequal parts. I'm sure I could win a Hypnosis/ Journey contest, though ;D Thanks!

Andrew: You're right and such was another reason I was afraid of not even being considered for it. That being said, it was experimental and I decided to take the risk. As for range, I have one, just not in the six hours I had to write and mix this after scraping my original project. Because it's been mentioned before, I may make longer types of things like this. I have a love for hypnotic mind-fucks. Huge thanks for the review!

Bryson: o___o

SimCorder: Why thank you! :D The overall concept was initially to bring the listener into an FPS-like trance, assuming most of the listeners would adapt to the visualizations in their first person view. The gaurdian was that guy over the coms telling the mute protagonist where to go :) Something like that. A hog, yes. Couldn't figure out how to ween other characters in within the amount of time I had left. And I <3 exmortis and am so happy to be related to it :) Thx!
