"Final REsults For Voice Acting Contest! :P"

submission: Keepers Of Hell

date: November 1, 2009

FINAL SCORE AVERAGED FROM ALL JUDGES - 63

Personally, I loved LOVED this. Why? Well, because of the strange mixing that you did where you can barely hear the voices of the characters, and the mix of the strangSo 10 for originallity, but 5 for acting. The guy who woke up didn't sound like he was to freaked out when he said "oh my god". He just said it so forcefully. Plus, the characters talked a bit to dull. They didnt sound like they were really talking, rather that they were being forced to talked by some director. In other words, your forcing your voices to much. Try to think like YOu are the character so that YOU just simple talk like him and like you are really there. the mixing was bad because i couldnt hear the characters to well, make sure to lower the volume on the layer where the music is by about 30%. By the way, that ending where you purposely blew into the microphone and said lalal was just fabulous for the muffin ending. I loved it. -80

The acting was ok, but it was very difficult to understand what the characters were saying. The use of music and sfx was good but at the beginning it was smothering the voices so much it made it even more difficult to hear the characters. I had bit of a hard time understanding what was going on but it was quite an original tale. The voices did fit quite well but it was let down a lot by the lack of clarity.

submission: Out Of Control TV Programmes

date: November 1, 2009

IMPORTANT: Disqualified for being under 2 minutes long! The minimum requirement was 2 minutes long. Its not fair for it to be so short because it gets rated higher, because there is less to rate. Its like saying one line very well and getting 35/35 for acting, but someone who has 4 lines says two of those lines badly and gets 17/35. I am very sorry and hope that you understand. Also, you were supposed to talk about someone working in their jobs. I see that it was about someone tired of working for such a crappy TV station, but you should have started it out with him coming to work and slowly growing insane over the horrible programs coming on. This way you would have made it to at least 3 minutes long and have it a story that could be altered into this random style you have going.

FINAL SCORE AVERAGED FROM ALL JUDGES - 75

You have a very funny range of voices. A lot of them sound similar because they have that high pitched nasally sound, but thats not bad because you are perfect for that sort of character. There are TOONNSSS of characters like that so your good to go for that. You have a nice old voice and I thought your jokes were preety funny. Lol, all the pigs are dead. The ending with the mystery gang didnt sound anything like them, but I thought it was still funny. The mixing was great with good background noises and good equalizing. There was some peaking, make sure to pay attention to how loud your crazy voices are. Its hard to sound low when you have such a crazy character to do, so make sure to lower the mic volume a little for the crazy characters. nice Job overall, your a good voice actor with this crazy style you have! Sorry you didnt meet the requirements. :( -81

Comes in short of 2 minutes so not sure this fully qualifies but here goes: Superbly acted. I'm surprised there's a room that can contain you for very long with the amount of bouncing on the walls that you do. It was very well produced with great use of music. My only real negative points were that the TV Shows bit for voice acting is a little overdone and the Scooby-Doo scene was a bit weakly voiced (although Shaggy was excellent). Plus the keyword "muffin" felt a little forced in the end there. Either way, you're clearly a pro!

A nice little compilation of random scenes, but lacks holding a plot and something fluent to follow, and to allow the listener to really absorb the characters. Also lacking in diction in some places.

date: November 1, 2009

FINAL AVERAGED SCORE FROM ALL JUDGES - 41

I thought this was kind of funny because it was just so silly, but you were extremely monotone for all of your characters. It didnt sound like they were any developed character at all. Plus, each one sounded the same. They all just sounded like sarcastic teenagers with the exact same voice talking to theirselves. The only way I could tell characters apart was by knowing how slowly or fast they talked. Try experimenting with different characters by sort of moving your throat and talking to form differeet and unique voices. Instead of talking in slower of faster ways with your normal voice, try tightening the grip on your throtr, twirl it around, lower and higher the pitch, e.t.c. You will form some pretty cool characters this way and you can continue to develop on them from that. For example, if you find a high pitch character that sounds kind of crazy you can begin acting with him and form him into a non-monotone mad scientist, a homeless man, a strange carnival owner, a hospital guy, an old man, e.t.c. If you dont you will just have... your own voice trying to be a monotone homeless man. You have good potential man and some nice ideas, just work a bit harder on that acting and range abilities! - 32

Hmm... with the corny acting, I couldn't really tell if you were acting bad on purpose or not. A bit oddball to say the least but showed a lot of enthusiasm. However, all the characters sounded so similar to one another it was hard to tell them all apart or tell what was going on. The mixing wasn't great and there was a lot of puffing and generally didn't sound very well put together. It didn't feel like you spent a great deal of time on this piece which is a shame since you seem to have a lot of energy.

Final Averaged Score From All Judges - 74

The acting was well done, but it didnt sound like they were speaking to eachother because it was a bit monotone. The range was great, because the spanish guy was very well done. THe comic relief guy sounded ridiculous. just as he was supposed to. The chef, however, didnt really match his character. He kept pausing like that guy in star trek lol. It was an original character, I didnt really understand just exactly who he was hehe. I laughed when you kept using the same loop for each character and then immediately switching to another loop that matched the current character talking. Good mixing skills. HOWEVER for some reason each character was either in the right speaker or in the left speaker. This made the listening annoying. You should always make all voices throught the lfet AND right speakers for listening pleasure.

Keep it up, you have great potential! - 74

This is a peculiar one! The Spanish/Latino voice was fantastic and the doctor's voice was very funny. The comic relief was a bit odd and a little misplaced but overall, this piece was very well done and displayed a good range. Great story, very original and brilliant use of sfx and music with each character having their own theme song. Great work!

IMPORTANT: Disqualified for using Microsoft Sam!

FINAL SCORE AVERAGED FROM ALL JUDGES - 30

I couldnt tell if you were being serious or not on this. The acting was very bad. it sounded like you just accidently hit record on your computers recording program while reading the voice acting contest thread. So then you decided to half ass your way through some random skit. You kept breathing into the microphone and pausing for unnecessary amounts of time that completely through my attention off of the story. You used microsoft Sam as the robot, which sounded better than your acting. Sorry to be harsh, its just that you really need to put forth more time and effort in this. Take a deep breath AWAY from the microphone, then say the best line you can for the character you are voicing. For this you rushed every line and it sounded crappy. The doctor was alright, I liked his voice. The german ruler sounded alright, the cyborg sounded horrible. The story was decent, I thought it was interesting that the man was being taken over by some strange experiment. You didn't use muffins in the way i was expecting, you just randomly said it. Thats not very original.

If you want to improve, simply take time away from the microphone to develop your characters. Try saying some random lines to yourself in their voice. Practice practice practice the lines. Then when you think you are ready, go up to the mic, and say the line to the best of your abillity. Make sure to turn your head away from the mic when breathing. Good luck. I hope to see another piece in the next contest. -31

The acting wasn't great. There were some scenes of drama that could have been done a lot better, such as the "state your directives" scene which just sounded dull, but then other scenes when the main character got angry showed some improvement. The evil scientists voices didn't work very well as I couldn't tell if they were supposed to be comical or serious and the story was quite poor. The use of a machine generated voice was disappointing and possibly against the rules? Regardless, not a great range. The mixing wasn't very good either as there were lots of pauses and moments of silence (i.e. right at the start), some of the sfx were bad and there was a lot of puffing on the microphone proving far too much a distraction. A lot of improvement required but with more practice your skills may improve.

I sense a potential talent. Its wasn't very fresh or unique, but it was fairly charming and easy to listen too., but if you wanted a Microsoft sam voice you should have impersonated one.

LOL. This was a very original idea! I loved the way you implemented the perfect sounding background track with the perfect mood. The idea of a cartoonist going crazy and killing his boss... thats just hilarious man. I listened to this twice and couldnt stop chuckling at the ridiculous mood it set. However, the acting was not very good. You need to pause every time a line is spoken. A lot of the times you immediately switched to another character without pausing, and thus your voice cracked many times and it sounded like you were just talking into a microphone rather than setting up a scene. Either that or the scene was full of guys with stuttering problems. Just take your time with each line, you seem to have good ideas, now just take your time on each line and pause in between each one. Great mixing with the noises. I didnt like the way you used muffins, I was expecting him to barge into the bosses room, point a gun to his head, and say Hey... is that a muffin? If you give me that muffin I uhh... i wont kill youuu... or something crazy like that. Nice story, bad acting. keep it up you have great potential. -69

There was a good range but there were a few of the creations that really didn't fit very well and jarred, possibly from attempting too many voices. The CEO sounded far too similar to the cartoonist, but the whole piece was very well acted. The cartoonist's voice, which I'm gathering is your natural voice, was fantastically done. I showed a lot of real emotion and I was very impressed. The sfx, music and chanting characters worked very well but there were a lot strange abrupt cuts in the voice clips and music. Great story, but muffins was clearly just forced in, like an after-thought, which a slight disappointment. However, this piece showed some great acting abilities and I can see a lot of potential.

TOTAL SCORE AVERAGED FROM ALL JUDGES: 46

Well first off, the mixing was pretty bad. You didnt include any background sounds other than you saying "flashback" in order to indicate that there was a flashback. That was pretty funny though. The sound quality was bad and it really did hurt my ears. As for the acting, I think you need to come up with your own original characters and work a bit harder on them rather than just making one based off of something that youve seen online. *metal gear* The story was alright, it could have been done a bit better and built upon more but the idea itself was good. I didnt like the way you use muffins though, you should have perhaps had the guy write a childrens story and cleverly end the story with the word MUFFIN instead of just randomly throwing it in there. The range of all the voices was ok, but It sounded like you just did this all in one take and you didnt try and emphasize a different voice for each character. Try taking a deep breath, and recording the first line as best as you can with a character you developed, three or two times. Then choose the best take and repeat with the other lines. Make sure you sound good! Please get abetter mic. That white noise killed me. -65

Ow! Loud! Very loud! And slightly distorted, perhaps from being too loud! Acting was good, the angry guy was definitely angry, (I can sense a heavy egoraptor influence there) but the supporting characters were quite weak. Not a great range or mixing but it was well acted and fit pretty nicely.

"You said cum daddy" That just made me crack up. You have agreat sense of voice style, a good range. I LOVED THE ENDING. Those sound effects were fantastic! As for the acting, you were a bit monotone and boring at some parts. It was a bit dry. You can easily fix this by adding some nice background music that doesnt mess up the voice. Also act a bit more energetic when acting. LOL PRAIRE DOG HAHAHA. xD I couldnt stop laughing at that. Hmm... thats odd... your blood smells like muffins!!! - 87

There were some very good voices but I felt the son's voice let the piece down. Whilst I gathered he was meant to be intentionally irritating, I just felt it wasn't as strong a voice as the other characters. Excellent use of sfx and with the echoey flashback scenes, but there were a lot long pauses between dialogue and microphone pops. A very interesting story but was very slow paced ended being a bit predictable. Overall, great acting, all fit very well and with a great range.

Its raining over a large mountain. Camera zooms over mountains and trees, it is foggy and hard to see. Suddenly a large tribe is shown dancing around a fire in the rain. They dance and clap and chant while drinking and talking. The party ends and they retire back to their homes. It continues raining. In their sleeps, a spaceship arrives and they wake up to see an alien emerge from the spaceship. An overwhelming feeling of terror and amazement washes over their bodies. The alien says for them to come forth, and they do so.

The tribe boards the ship and the ship floats into the air, then flies off into space from where it came. It flies past stars and planets of all sorts of color. Yellow, red, black, blue, green, violet, pink, every color of the spectrum they see mixed in the universe. Finally the ship enters a blackhole and nothing can be heard. Time slows down and the black hole collapses on itself. The ship is in between time and the universe, reality and fiction, in between dimmensions. The tribe gazes out the window in awe as the black space turns to white. They see a large planet, larger than any of the planets or suns that they passed. The spaceship lands on this planet on a large tree in the middle of a city made entirely out of a forest.

They get out and the alien begins to show them all the wonders the aliens have created. Buildings as tall as mountains made out of trees and roots stand before them, reaching towards the skys. Then it all abruptly ends. They got one small glimpse and then a young boy awakes to stare out into the rain outside his hut. He turns over again and falls asleep.
