Voice Acting Contest Final Results! >:)
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

Comments
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.
