Stalagmite's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Story time with Grandma]

review whilst i listen. :D

the old womans voice in my opinion needs a little more gravel... they tend to twitter (mainly if you are going for a stereotype lol, which is more easily reckognise)
I like the theme you have chosen... dark and epic story. dragons gods. lol.
the little boy is good, but sounds alot like the little girl. very anime though.
i think more emotions could have been portrayed here. you have supplied us with an epic story, and lovable characters to connect with. but you could certainly played with their emotions so much more... I am not saying your acting is any way bad...their is always room for improvement... for any voice actors... i am just stating what i think could be improved. :D:D:D
Your story is truly enchanting. you must be a gifted writer.
and ROFLMAO at the explosion.. its hard to take any ones vocal explosions seriously LOL.
thanks for this... favourited as an actress :D:D:D also your mic quality was brilliant.

Nakoruru responds:

Thanks for the feedback. I actually wouldn't have put such an explosion but it was a requirement. I made this for a voice acting contest I saw on the forums and they wanted an explosion done with your own voice. lol

I'm pretty sure if I had written everything out before hand it might have turned out smoother but it was all improv on the spot. And I'm not a fan of my little boy voice either, it's one that need practice along with my little girl voice...ok children in general.

But thanks for listening and giving me some things to think about it. :)

[Just Friends Beat(DEMO)]

hmmm.

what do you get if you cross EPICLY BRILLIANT piano riffs, with a dreamy arpeggiated electro synth.... add a deep thumping heart paced beat that makes the portal shake. and then add an annoying pizzicato string....
hmm.... i am so sorry buddy. i LOVE this entire freaking concept. really fricking brilliant! SERIOUSLY! but the FTW pizzicatos just cheese it out. pleaase remove them, for maximum chillaxation. OR replace them with subtle bells...or even gently plucked harp. it is an excellent concept. and i want you to PM me with the next version please. thanks. and hope you got the criticisms you wanted :D:D:D take care matey.

AEPfx responds:

thx man really appreciate the feedback

[Halo Master Techno Remix]

hmm...

i have waited a !!!!!LONG!!!!!!!!! time to find a desent remix of halo. and i am still yet to find it.
however i am sure i have found its composer. you have the ideas and the melodies set straight... however your ability to create appropriate rhythms that would be best suited to such an epic composition is not found yet. first. you dont need the original samples. make them yourself. the synth... that could improve, maybe add some staccato or some excitement... you see, i gave it thirty seconds... and waited about 3.41 mins for it to kick in... then it stopped.
it has no impact. because it lacks structure, style and atmosphere.
I am NOT reviewing this as an ass hole with issues against you... or just to be a high and mighty dick head acting as though i know more than you. (i propably DONT!)
i genuinely want to help you. because i am waiting for you to make the awesome remix.
if you would like to learn how to make the real improved version then either PM me or respond to this review ASAP. i will get back to you with info.
if you arent interested then thanks anyway. and good luck in the future. :D:D:D

[.::Reunion::.]

you are evil.

you are evil. because i will be telling everyone i spoke to you whilst you before you where famous.. and no one will believe me.
you voice... "winey"? suffice i was to say. WTF... although i heavily disagree with the harmonic vocals at the end, they are not climactic in the way i would have prefered, the harmonies are quite hard... and not quite subtle enough for me. also.. i like your piano sound.. you are good at compositions.. however i dislike the immediate string introduction.. then vocals immediately after..
i think your piano breaths beautifully, and then your strings overpower and take over to rapidly... then voice comes in and the piano is gone...

Okay... now... i love your voice acting. your ASTOUNDING at singing. your highest harmonic note right at the end was beautifully balanced and well projected. i think agani the piano is brilliant. the strings are excellent, although they lack texture and subtlety. try some gentle plucking, harps? also addition instraments to replace the piano.
i am giving you what i think is a constructive review. only because i respect you enough to care about helping you improve towards your stardom! lol.
as i have already said... you touched my soul with your animation. and your voice is excellent. i think this is worthy of 10 definately in terms of effort.
i wish i could get the accepella of you singing. nudge nudge. :D:D:D
brilliant work... deep... dark.. but true and beautiful.
i am sensing you are a christian :D:D:D god bless you and your work :D:D:D

Jessismith responds:

You sir, know how to give a good quality review. :D I think you have it all down pretty good. Yeah, the honest truth is that I made this song when I was just starting to learn how to record music, and I left it all on the first take, all played straight from my old digital piano. I added a lot of reverb effects to get a good sound on the piano, so I'm glad that worked out. :) Yeah, later on, I can see a lot of the flaws in the song....maybe I shouldn't have cut off the piano so soon. One day, I'm going to do a remake of it. I'll remake all of my songs someday. Why thank you. It's so encouraging when I hear that people like my voice. It always inspires me to make better stuff. Just to be completely honest though, I adjusted the volume on that last note. xP I'm better at projecting now, so it is easier for me to make the higher note louder. I'm glad that was effective. You are very attentive, which is good. I adjusted a few things in this song to make is sound better. Harps sound like a good idea. I do love harps so much. :)
Yep, that's perfectly fine. Your critique was absolutely perfect. I feel so honored, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to make such a decent review. Not many do that. Thank you so much. *gives you a hug* Alright. Maybe I'll send you an accapella recording, just because your review means so much to me. :) I don't have any good recordings of me singing, and I don't have a good mic anymore, but I can come up with something. xD You are the best. You've made my whole day....really. Yes, I am a Christian. Thank you, and God Bless you too. :)

[Bell45's VA demo]

first review! FRESH MAN!

okay Dood. your laugh is deliciously evil LOL. your voices... now i need HONESTNESSNESS man! your lower voices... are they really that low... or are they played through a pitch effect?
well it is very good either way... I think you captured some nice emotions, although try some REALLY angry ones... extremely happy ones... try going Over the top excessive to some subtle tones too. keep practising your ranges aswell! i hope to here another submission with your higher voices :D:D:D
I think your definately talented with voice acting.. but i can sense a little unconfidence in you.. do NOT! fear being loud and absolutely crazy... infact.. it is always the crazy voices we remember the most. next time you submit... go as mental as you ever have gone... go wacky hilarious crazy bonkers... LOL. well, that is my preference HAHA.
none the less. i am impressed. your voices are refreshing, original and some are also very well defined.
I should take a leaf out of your low-range book LOL. thanks for this... it has been an entertainingn and educational experience for me.
take care and enjoy voice acting! :D:D:D

Bell45 responds:

*sniff* thanks for being so nice and literal at the same time

i can do more voices and i probably will next month for a new submission in the thread

and all the low voices no effects necessary i mean that's how i did the manslaughter voice from twisted metal black

thanks for the review and i will consider going crazy go bonkers next time i do this

[One Sided Argument...]

you know what!

you have ENORMOUS potential. i can hear it. your voice appears to be so durable. i think if you practiced, you could easily immitate rex the dinosaur from toy story.
EASILY. it is wel within your capabilities! smart. this is good VA. very good.
also its very funny. Did youo write it? or was you given the script.
thanks bro! :D:D:D AND THANKS FOR FAVOURITNG ME! :D:D:D HAHAHAHA

ForNoReason responds:

WOW! Thanks a lot. Unfortunately I did not write this. Its from a flash artist who is making a movie. Ill give that Rex thing a try. Sounds like it would be fun. Thanks again man I am glad to know I have at least one person out there that kicks ass and supports me lol.

[Doing my cop thing...]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

this is really good! you remind me of the robotic cop from futurama.
i think if you went a little lower, you could do a brilliant black cop aswell!. you should give it a go aswell.
Your voice is really good and your comedic timing is brilliant to. and can i ask, WTF is a "tater tot"? i am english lol so i have no idea.
Smart man. :D:D:D i hope your submitting to the VA contest. :D:D:D i think you could be in for a better chance of winning this time. well take care!

ForNoReason responds:

Thanks for all your support man! Ill give some of that stuff a try and see what comes out. Also, a tater tot is a fried potato snack. Kinda like a mix of a french fry and a hash brown. Anyway, Thanks again!
