[Bell45's VA demo]

Ok, you did a . . .

GREAT job on karthon's "shape collab" skit, Bell45---------->
I mean, I couldn't tell that you voiced both of those at all. You DID, didn't you? I recognized the whole black man voice there too! Heh heh heh Personally I think your mic sounds wonderful, but it's your mixing down that might need some tweaking on. OR maybe you could just rubber band a sock to the end of it. Not getting VERY close to the mic and simply adjusting your projection volume helps too. My set up is beyond ghetto though. Literally, I have the cut out finger of a glove, over my gaming headset mic. Don't get me wrong, I am by NO MEANS a recognizable voice actress or anything. I'll be the first to admit that, BUT I know you've got more in ya than THIS! C'mon! Let your schitzophrenia shine through, Man. Go wild with it. Cram as many personalities as you can think of in there. If you're only gonna have a demo reel under a minute, you gotta maximize your coverage, ya know? Let those animators out there, who've clicked on your reel, KNOW what a Master of Voices you are! Wail 'em out. Pump out some more of those bad boys. You know?
Eh, what am I talking about? I don't even HAVE a demo reel out. Good for you! Keep it up. Best of luck and fine wishes to your future work too, Man.

..........Take care, be good and voice act.period

[Cookies! [Voice-Acting]]

*thinks of Cookie Monster riddled with addiction*

Yeah, Box-Killa------>
I agree with the prior reviewer (TheBackupCrew) in the fact that this reminds me of the Cookie Monster. Although, I moreso think of like, his crackhead cousin or something. Maybe he's having a bad dream, where everyone around him are eating cookies and no one will give any to him. Poor little fella.
I also agree with the guy right before me who said, "I can't understand shit". I can get a bit of what you're saying but for the most part, it IS muffled and way echoed out. Sounds cool, mind you, dreamy sounding, but it's not easy at all to decipher what the Hell is going on, dialogue wise. Heh heh heh I know you didn't work uber hard on this or anything, so I don't feel bad for tossing you and 8! :) You seem to have a real want for a flash to be made with your voice, Man. You should come up with like, a 2 minute skit and ask a few of your favorite animators if any of them will give it a shot. You never know. The two of you might work really well together! Best of luck in your newly found VA ventures, Mate. Oh and keep on making music too! You're a champ at it, BK!
Until I hear from you next (you strange little cookie, you). . .

.............Take care, be good and eat cookies.period
:(Gaia:)

Box-Killa responds:

OH man It's tottally because I made it with headphones on, I should have taken them off and seen how it sounds, can understand shiiiitt..... If you have headphones on you can hear it clearlly... but yea

Well I'm not going to make that mistake again!

:D Thanks

haha cookie monster riddled with addiction!

[<PS> Emotions-Wonder WIP]

So my first question, is. . . .

does the title of this song, mean that the emotion played here, PenguinSam------>
is representative of wonder, itself? Because, to be quite honest with you, friend, I hear moreso, melancholy towards the beginning. I hear a reflective sadness. Maybe of a loved one lost or choices made in the past leading us not to what we had expected. I hear a simple song, reminding me of what may come but mainly, what has already passed between my fingers.
A proud loss of something dear to me.
Then, around 2:23 or so, things change up a bit. There is a certain sound I pick up on, of the future and what it could bring. The light things seen in happiness and joy. A change of heart about something, maybe? A move towards making better and more productive choices. Daring, to live positively even though, it's harder than simply choosing hate.
Who knows, maybe I just drank too much coffee this morning. Either way, you have the start of a beautiful song here, PenguinSam. I can't wait to hear the rest of it! Feel free to drop me a line and let me know when it is finished. I'd love to hear the finished product. That goes for the series too, not just this song, friend. Thanks again and waiting to hear from you next.

................Take care, be good and wonder, always.period
:(Gaia:)

PenguinSam responds:

Ah, such is the power of wonder!! That is more or less what I hear as well! The change to happiness that you see is actually where the chord changes put emphasis on certain major chords that were originally minor or diminished.

What you are describing is what I see as something very deep, and part of wonder. Wonder is both positive and negative. This is also the finale to the entire symphony, so a blend of different emotions is perfect, yes? Wonder about wonder, and you will see it is different, but I think you already found that!

Thank you for the review and I will definitely tell you when it is finished!

<PS>

[MML2 Jazz Title]

Holy Smoked Mega Man Sausages. . .

Werner von Bluecher couldn't have done this better himself, Drew------!
I mean, not that I was a huge MM fan or player, for that matter, but I know the song. Now, to hear it all jazzed out, as if I were in the Capcom Elevator, awaiting a meeting with future developers or even, on the phone with customer service for them or something! Ha ha ha ha. It's cool to hear such a classic VG song in such a different sense. There IS quite a Muzak feel to it, though. Maybe, if anyone does a toon where there's someone, on hold for Capcom or something, they'll use this. Hell, even YOU could do it! You animating, man you! Thanks again for another song to enjoy and remind us of younger days and simpler times.
Hope you and your bro had an awesome Halloween and the Devil didn't get his claws too deep in your soul this year. Until your next release. . .

................Take care, be good and eat some candy.period

[Billy jean Mixup!]

*wipes away the tears. . .

with the Beaver Skin Tissues*
Oh mah feckin' Garsh, STAG-racer---------->
This is by FAR, the best collab (with yourself, mind you) that I've EVER heard, Man! I mean, c'mon, anyone who can insert a Jefferson Airplane song in a recent day mesh of songs has MAD talent in my opinion. And no, I'm not saying you have angry talent. I'm saying you are, as I have ALWAYS said, since I've known you, simply finding a way to share the extent of your talents with everyone else who isn't residing inside your head. This song, lets us all taste, what it must be like, in a diluted sense, to live in that noggin of yours, Lovey! You Sir, are truly an amazing man that deserves monetary compensation for all your shitzophrenic adventures you give to us to enjoy! There aren't any words, that I've learned thus far, that can really express to you, the respect, love and joy in my heart, I have for you. Thanks again for yet another amazing Stagsterpiece, to sit, listen and reflect on (ALL made with your mouth).
*bows down to you humbly* Can't wait to hear what else you've got floating around in that infinitely entertaining head of yours.
Until that glorious day arises. . .

.................Take care, be good keep on musically mixing.period

[Whales [Box-Killa]]

Whales you say, eh. . . .

Box-Killa-----------?
Ok, so up until like, 0:27 it sounds like it's gonna be a slow and non moving piece, right? Then, afterwards, it takes on this strange ass, nostalgic sound. I can't quite place my finger on it, but it leaves me with a sense of missing some show, or movie, or something of the sort, from when I was a little kid. It's not even necessarily the effects (the whale sounds and such) that does it, either. I think it's just the overall melody that starts around 0:27 and afterwards (particularly 0:42 and so on).
You know, this would be fitting for a lot of toons. I mean, those broken parts would be, at least. This is an interesting piece you got going on here, BK. There's always something intriguing about a musician that doesn't even have a specific sound about them. You know, the fact that you can break out and perform DIFFERENT genres of sounds (and otherwise, seeing as how I couldn't even begin to think of a category to put this in. Sometimes, it's like ambient, is just used as a dumping ground for seemingly talented things, deserving their OWN categories.). So yeah, good job on a wierd ass song. Heh heh heh It's different, it does have a feel to it and it's not just random chaotic, bullshit. At 2:32 and so on, my speakers DID rattle a bit. That COULD just be my speakers though. Just giving you a heads up, Man. That's all. :)
Until you next release a little something for us all to chew on. . .

...............Take care, be good and eat dolphin safe tuna.period
:(Gaia:)

Box-Killa responds:

Yeah I know what you mean about the genre thing, but I don't really care about genre. I suppose ambient is closer to the top then misc, so its easier to click, lol. Man I laugh at my own jokes quite a bit.

Anyway... I think it is the slowness and the "Distance" of the leading synths that give it the whale sound, but I that's just me. Yeah and I chucked quite a bit of FREAKN WIERDO SYNTHS in there lol. It makes me happy, because people on newgrounds use nexus and other mainstream kinda synths so much, so its good to use something wierd and wonderful to make funny sounds :D Yeah.

I was going to say it is just your speakers that shake, but my headphones shake a bit too. Ehh who cares

Well thanks for um... displaying your super duper writing skills :D

and personally, I like a bit of a dolphin "tang" to my tuna.... lol

:D

(AHHH I HAVE EXAMS AND I SHOULD BE STUDYING GAAHHHH)

[Spanish_Guitar [Box-Killa]]

So let me. . . .

get this straight, Box-Killa---------->
This was all just a random bit, to show your friend what all a scale can do? Seriously? Hell, I thought this was like, a stand alone piece. Hehe Naw, really. It was quite good. Oh, and just to hear someone using a REAL guitar, that you play, NOT a midi file was EXCELLENT, in itself. Not that I think people who do play midi files are any less of musicians or anything. I guess I'm just old school when it comes to certain things.
You know, I'm not VERY familiar with all your work, but from what I've heard, it's mainly synthesized. It's so good to hear you physically playing a git fiddle, Man. Shit, you're rippin' shit up and taking names too. Heh heh heh
0:00-0:26 was nice. Very thorough sound.
I could see that being worked into something cool as well.
1:22-2:01 would be nice mixed in it, too.
Those are just my fave 2 spots though.
So, yeah, let me know if you're buddy came up with anything to showcase HIS usage of that same scale, eh? I mean, if you don't mind.
I can't wait to hear from you again and see what you have up your sleeve, BK.
Until that day comes. . .

............Take care, be good and improv.period
:(Gaia:)

Box-Killa responds:

Wow my stupid brother used all the bandwidth and I couldn't get on newgrounds. :( . So sorry for the late reply! Yep just a bit of randomness :D I like to rip things :D No he doesn't like this scale lol, read his review lol! Yeah I have exams soon so I don't know if I should make anything for a while :D

Thanks for the review.period

:(Box-Killa:)

[The_Dark_King [Voice Acting]]

Wow, Man. If scary as f*ck sounding, . .

is what you were going for, Box-Killa---------->
You achieved it. Ha! Really. I mean, don't get me wrong, I can't really understand what exactly he's saying and it sounds like there might be a TV or something playing faintly in the BG towards the end. Other than that, it's FABulous!!! I can hear the mic click, right when you start, but your quality is freakin' epic! (I feel like a bitch, leaving criticisms, when my mixing quality is just shit, but you asked for it! ha!) What are you running? The effects chosen are superb for the feel I think you were after.
Was this just a random bit of Highlands Throne babbling sheit, or what? You working on something, here? Eh? I'd love to hear more of this stuff and see where it's going. You know? Well, if you put anything else out, let me know.
I'd love to come give it a listen. Until then. . . .

.............Take care, be good and reside in Thrones of the Highlands.period
:(Gaia:)

Oh yeah, and Happy Early Halloween, BK!

Box-Killa responds:

HAHAH thanks :D This was an audition for a flash movie :D I kinda just wrote some quick script down lol, just some random stuff any scary sort of dark king would say :D I ran it through FL studio and added some nasty effects and stuff :D Your stuff is amazing though :D

[Some of my voices]

Godzilla's Gay Cousin?!?!?!

HEATHbar---------->
You Sir, are FAR more high-larious than I ever knew! You've got a great range going on here. My personal fave, is the Australian. Your "Oyrish" ain't too bad either! heh heh heh Oh, and did I hear a ya'll, slip out, when you were introducing yourself? :) So, this was all just, off the tip or what? If so, this was really good stuff. Your mic quality's not too shabby. You really have a good collection of dialects started up here. Hell, I wish I could animate just so I could give you a flash to voice. Keep it up, Man. Before you know it, you'll have flash plastered all over your page soon. Thanks again for finally submitting some stuff here. You should, if you find yourself bored enough, make another one of these reels, Heath. Hope this makes others smile, as much as it did for me.
Until I hear from you again HeathBar. . .

.................Take care, be good and Trick or Treat.period
<3:(Gaia:)

Heathwillkillyou responds:

Always sweet words Gaia. Thank you very much.

[Shogun Braker!!!!]

I don't even know what to say. . .

to you, Druids-Warcry---------->
That could let you in, on just HOW much I love this song, Man. The samples in the BG (all Asian-ed out, ha ha ha sorry for any PC people reading this) are MAGnificent! Also, there's this subtle hissing, wicked noise as well every once and awhile in there. That's awesome too.
I know it wasn't your goal to just up and impress me with this track, B-U-T you did. Thanks for sharing this with everyone here at NG, especially me, Man. There's just something about a beat that's consistent, banging and hoppin'. The slowed down part, at the end, just brings it all back together. Nice work Druid! Oh, and what's this? That's REAL visceral scratchin' I hear? None of this pre-sampled bollocks for you, Pal. Sweet. Fuckin' sweet indeed, my friend.
Thanks again for another track, to keep my head bobbin'.
Until the next time, you BEAT me up. . .

............Take care, be good salute %u5E55%u5E9C.period
:(Gaia:)

Druids-Warcry responds:

hehe thanks! yeah i did the scratchin my self and glitched looped it! haha but i think i over did it! :) yeah the effects where iffy on my part, not sure if i like all of them. but yeah i put a lot of work and im really glad you gave this a long review of kind words and praises
