				| You are a terrific actor.  I don't know the UK market at all, so my 2 cents comes from the US.  It's a pinch long.  The demo starts to really draw me in about the 33 second mark.  If you email me an MP3 of it, I can edit my thoughts, which might make my point better.  bob@bobbergen.com |  |

				| Performance is too large!  Great for Street Theatre but not voice acting in games. 
 YOU - "I SHALL VANQUISH YOU AS YOU ARE MY FOE!"
 
 FOE - "And deafen me! Calm down, Bro'"

 I will bow to Philip's UK expertise here.  As I mentioned, I do not know the UK market or what they demand from game actors.  But get thee to the US and your acting is extremely completive and relevant.
 
 But the most important one to please is your agent, if you have one.  If they like it, that's all that counts.

				| Thanks Bob and Philip appreciate the feedback! 
 Philip -  completely understand where you're coming from, do you have any UK videogame reels that you'd recommend as a reference? Would be great to hear the difference if possible!
 
 Bob, I also agree regarding the current order of the pieces - I'd love to hear any other thoughts you had. The mp3 should be downloadable from the 2nd link!
