Hey all,

I've been making lots of content for a new website that I'm having designed and have chopped all my characters and accents into one reel. All thoughts are appreciated. Smile

Hi Darren,
I LIKE IT! Your second character was a bit muddled though, a tiny bit hard for me to understand and seemed a bit similar to the first character you started off with.
For contrast you might consider placing the very last two characters at the end of your reel as the number 2 and 3 position.
Other than that I really like it. (Have to admit at first I thought, "Well he certainly is doing a lot of British stuff..." Then I looked to see that you're in the UK!) D'oh!
Anyway...thats my two cents! I have more, but they're in the sofa cushions...
Scott

I just re-listened to your reel...what was I talking about? Your second character wasn't anything like the first. But my brain told me that. Hmmm...maybe it was the growly in both voices. Or perhaps the second one was so lower in volume it was hard to adjust. Don't know. But just thought I'd share my re-evaluation!

I like it too.... A good character reel can open the imagination of potential clients to the versatility you have, allowing them to see you in a different light. Nicely done. It should represent you well.

Great sound. I love that low-end of the third voice. I'm no pro at listening to demos, but pretty damned good, I'd hire you, did you make it yourself?

Many thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. I wrote and produced all the characters except the first, which was taken from an ad I voiced. Much appreciated.
