Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Voice Actor's Creed]

Good

I like that you put in a little "story" into your voice acting, this makes this submission more interesting to listen to.

Some of the voices sound like you are trying a bit too hard (for example that one at 0:16 and the one after that), but there are voices that are just awesome, like the one at 0:34 (I like that one especially because you put some emotions in there).

Overall, this is a very good advertising and I hope to hear your work in future flash submissions.

[VA Demo-Reel 2 (Regular Voice)]

Advertising is good

Yeah, if you want to voice act you need to advertise more. In the audio forums for example. Of course it's good to have actual demos of you voice acting in the audio portal so animators don't have to buy a pig in a poke.

Like Coop suggested, a link to your demos in your signature is a good start (maybe "Will voice act for food!" will work even better ;) ).

The ability of doing accents is also a good thing. Maybe you can make a demo with european accents? This would give your voice acting a special note, I think.

I am really happy that people keep making helpful suggestions, it means a lot. Thatnks for your kind and wise words, I will do my best!

Good range of voices

You have quite a good range of voices, but on some of them you just try too hard (for example the very first one). They do not sound like realistic voices, but more like you are mocking someone with that voice.

My favorite voice was that old sounding one at 0:39, this one sounds very realistic.

A few more accents would be nice to have, so that the voices are more distinguishable from each other.

Sairex responds:

Thanky ou very much for your review! As someone before you said, it seems that I am ''hurting'' myself while doing some of the voices, especially the first one. I don't remember any actual pain or struggle, I think I just didn't take a big enough of a breath before doing it so...no worries :D

Yes, everyone loves satanical old grannies, don't they?

I think I'm gonna make my next demo either with accents or maybe in Russian, can't decide yet.

Not enough Heavy Metal

I like 8-bit tunes.
I like Heavy Metal.

So this song is a pure win for me. But I like Heavy Metal more than 8-bit and this is filed under Heavy Metal. So I agree with some of the other reviewers who said that there should be more Metal in it.

The tune itself is very nice and I like the melodies and beats you created. I liked the second part (at 1:10) better, because the contrast of the heavy guitar and the kinda lightweight sounding 8-bit tunes is very interesting.

loansindi responds:

Thank you for the review.

I also am a fan of the second part, and when I get around to visiting this style again, that's the approach I'm going to take. Eventually the guitar will also take solos, they just need to be written.

[Big Red - Oh Noez!]

That was fast...

Good that you put the lyrics in the comments or else I wouldn't have understood a thing here.

The background beat could use some more melodies. Right now it seems as if it is just there so that you have something in the background, which is a bit of a let down for the song.

The rapping was nice and even though you rapped very fast all the words have been pronounced pretty clear, so... good job there. :)

BigRed responds:

Better speakers!! There's a baseline in there that I love! haha! Thanks for the review though!

[State of Flux (ft. Bracksta)]

Generic, but not bad

It sounds pretty generic, but maybe that's just because of the sounds you used. But the melody you created is very nice and pretty catchy. I got it stuck in my head, even though the song isn't playing anymore.

Nice work

Wow, this sounds beautiful. Nice use of the instruments here, they all fit together very nice and they play a great tune together.

Well, I tried hard to find something I could critizise... but I didn't find anything! Nice song!

BlazingDragon responds:

Thanks man! Review appreciated.

[(SoD)-Eternal Arcade]

Good

I like the video game tunes you put in. They fit in so nicely here that at first I thought you created those yourself. Then on second thought I was like "Huh? That was the sound from Pac Man wasn't it? Yes it was... nice."
What I'm trying to say is that I like how subtly you put those sounds in here.

I like how the song changes over the time. It keeps me interested in the song, because I really want to know how the song developes.

Great work!

Also: The score is far too low. Must've been some "zero bombers" at work there. :/

Thanks so much man, I agree.

[-_ You Fucking Win _-]

Nice tune

Reminds me a bit of the Final Fantasy fanfare when you won a battle; you managed to catch that feeling of the FF fanfare in your own tune, which is a good thing.

Also, it loops nice which is also a good thing. If an author decides to put this in his game he just can let the tune loop three or four times and then slowly fade it out.

Only bad thing is that it is pretty short. I think a few more seconds would be pretty nice to have here.

[Tom Fulp, Share Your Chicks!]

Nice one

It's a funny song with some good lyrics. Only problem I have with this is that sometimes the lines are too long to fit into the timing (ie you have to speak pretty fast sometimes to keep the vocals in time with the music). Also, the music itself is pretty generic. Kinda sounds like Blink 182, heh.

Now don't get me wrong, the song is amazing and I like many of Blink's songs as well. ;) It's just that the song doesn't really stick in my mind because it feels like I have listened to this at least 100 times before.

CountBoogie responds:

Thanks for the criticism, I think Blink 182 is alright too.
