My first attempt at voice acting.

[Retro Wolf]

I've toyed with the idea of having a go at acting before, but I am shy! So why not do some voice acting?
I've had no training, the microphone I used is not the best (though I could borrow/steal one off of my Dad if I wanted to do more). I also have problems speaking my "FF's" and "TH's" sometimes.

Any feedback is appreciated.

It's not a friend point-of-view. It's an observer's point of view:

Very nice. Especially for the first time. Your voice resembles and reminded of the Don of The Godfather (the game). I've always admired his accent and voice and tried to mimic him.

You, on the other hand, pull it off very nicely.

Good stuff! Most of the voices were distinct enough that I don't think they would be obviously by the same person if used in a game.

Being a guy who casts a lot of voice actors, my first reaction to hearing that is "What does his voice actually SOUND like?" All the characters in the reel are cartoonish caricatures, each with their own forced fake accent. Which one is you? It's good that you have variety, but you don't need put on an accent to make the characters different. Emotional ranges (sad, excited, flirty) are all just as important. When I listen to a reel, I want to hear the actor, you know, act.

I have wondered about some of those points myself Dave. None of these voices are my real voice, I just enjoy doing funny ones. I have never done this before, but thank you for the input.

Funny voices are fine, but it's also good to hear your "normal voice" in order to get a better idea of your range. Most actors have a commercial reel as well as a character reel, which show off both. A good example of this is the VO reel of Sarah Elmaleh (who played Anna in Resonance!). Her character reel is mostly funny voices, but her commercial reel is more natural and you get a much better impression of what she can do.
