"__FINAL REVIEW FROM CONTEST__"
FINAL SCORE: 66/100
A very original story indeed! The acting for the insane man was superb and sounded like he actually was insane from whatever he experienced BACK THERE. Of course he could sound a bit better, but you convinced me. The ending was hilarious and I cant believe I didnt see it coming since it was required that the entries say turtles at the end. Great job in distracting me from that! The only thing I found wrong was that the three characters sounded very similar to each-other, but with slightly different accents. You should improve on doing different characters by simply raising or lowering the pitches. Experiment with different voices by twisting and turning your throat in different and awkward ways. Even if it hurts to do some voices, drink some water to make each voice sound fresh. I gave you a 77 for my opinion.
Thanks for entering the contest. ***Continue reading below to see why your score is the way it is***

COMMENTS: No noticeable mixing. Chris sounded like the narrator and hat is why range got dinged. Good ending to bring the word turtles into the story.

It Sounds like Golem putting on heirs at the Meldwin tea party. :D your Voice acting is superb and unusual, it seems to come naturally to you! However your story didn't move in any direction. Not enough interaction for me.

First off, the stuttering was not very convincing at all and every single character had an accent which normally wouldn't matter except that means every single voice sounded like it came from the same person! The story wasn't very interesting at all since it was just a telling instead of a showing. Since this is a voice-acting shtick, I would have maybe actually done the whole, you know, "let's go back and see how it really went down" sorta thing... Didn't happen here, sadly. The character's were not convincing either, especially the doctor/scientist: too calm and didn't seem to give a shit about anything. And the idol (singular) looked like turtles? Didn't like the ending.

Here's a response to each individual review:
Fatkid: Thanks for the compliments! Your not the only one who didn't see the turtles coming, other reviews I've received have mentioned this too and I like that you thought that Christopher sounded mad, he was a very fun character to voice. Regarding my lack of range, well, I don't really have much range in terms of pitch, sadly, but I'll try your other suggestion (twisting my throat around) to see if I can't make different sounding voices, which has always been my biggest problem when I voice act. Thanks again for organizing the contest and for the review!
NAXSTER: Again, my range is really poor, so I make no excuses. When I do voice acting work, I can only play one character because of this, really. Glad you also liked the ending. Concerning the mixing, well, I didn't do much mixing work, for sure, but I did record the voices separately and mix them, but I guess that's basic enough that it doesn't really count. Thanks for the review!
STALAGMITE: What a weird and wonderful comparison! I guess I do sound somewhat like Golem, but it hadn't occurred to me until you pointed it out. =] Thanks too for the compliments concerning the acting, it's a confidence booster. I agree with you that the story didn't have much interaction, but I guess I wanted to avoid making it even more evident how similar the voices were, so I tried to give each character long dialogues. Thanks for the review!
SCRIBBLER: A pretty tough review, maybe a bit too harsh, but with some valid criticisms and good suggestions, which makes for a good review.
I disagree with you all the characters had accents, in fact, Christopher's voice is actually my normal voice, barring the crazy-stuttering-whines. I guess that because my normal voice has an English accent, that you thought I was actually trying to do one, which is understandable. But I make no excuses towards my lack of range, I agree completely.
Concerning the story, you've made an excellent suggestion, I could have taken the action to the mountain itself, as it would have made it all that much more interesting. However, I disagree with you concerning the doctor (he's actually meant to be a shrink), he was meant to sound calm and detached, which is how I remember these sorts of guys tended to act read in old horror stories (like Lovecraft), so as to contrast with the madness, which means I actually succeed. Thanks for the review!

THAT WAS REALLY GOOD! Better than i thought a beatboxing thing would be. Everything was mixed together very well and I was surprised that everything was made by your mouth, Xelu.
Very very nice.. YOU GOT SKILZ DOG.

This is your best so far man. You are slowly getting better and better at this. There are a couple of things that are bad about this song but also a coupld of good things about it!
__GOOD__
The tempo was very nice and I could groove to it.
The made up synths were pretty cool, especially the tune at 1:02.
The technoish sounding of it was great, everything fit well together in a sort of bytish enviroment.
__BAD__
Then synths were a bit to high pitched, make them more enjoyable to listen to. If you made a different synth for that tune you made, it could be REALLY nice. Its like making a piano tune and playing it on a tuba. Same tune, different instrument, and a different effect.
There was not enough beats and bass. It was just a long drawn out tunw with some occasional things going on in the background with some pads. Make a beat to the song along with some bass and things.
Its a bit repetitive...i almost think you looped it.
So all in all, oyur getting better man! KEEP IT UP! :D :D

I was thinking this was going to be some generic song made by a 14 year old that wasnt very good at all... instead i heard a very enjoying song with a great build up synth that had me addicted from the start. Then you added in a build up beat, which was a very professional thing to do. You even added onto the synth as the beat came in. THEN added another build up beat that ended with a nice KICK. And then with a sort of solo synth with a soothing pad in the background.
The only thing I would recommend doing is adding more synths to make things interesting. Try making some more of your own synths like you did in the background near the 2 minute marker.
If you wanted to make this an actual rave song, you should have continued it with one of your own home made synths except with its pitch going in and out. Like a huge solo with different beats and.. well its hard to explain.
Listen to AH.FM in Itunes radio under the elctronic station if you want to hear what im talking about.
Cheers, and good luck! :) *your better than me at making music BTW, using garageband with pre-set loops inst very talented. :/*

Wow, a long review! I was trying to stay away from generic, and I guess I did :). The song was a little bland at some parts, I must agree with you. I need to develop more on some sections of the song. I'll be sure to check out that station ;)
AND DON'T FORGET THIS IS A COLLAB, CHECK OUT KALAPSIA :)
Thanks for the review,

well if it wasnt for the... lryics this song would be fantastic. Insulting the listener like that just isnt called for. I would recommend choosing different lyrics.

Ive never heard of that lol. Well anyway...
GOOD
- The tune is pretty awesome, but you didnt come up with it. :P
- Nice sounds
- Good job on the complicated drum work and synth work
BAD
-Not original
- Repetitive
- Not very eargasmic, if you know what I mean.
So anyway man, you should make YOUR OWN tune and play that using less generic sounds! once you do that, people will vote better on your song since it is more original.
