Nanashi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Best Voice Actress Evar Tips!!]

I'm almost crying right now

Yes. Dear god yes. Please attempt to extract some of your common sense and inject it into others. I've worked with a lot of VAs over the years, many of them very talented, and may more who do all the things you've parodied here.

But even if this was a kind of rant of yours, it speaks to your talent. The recording is very crisp, and you demonstrate a great range, even if you are trying to mock the methods used. Now that I've heard the 'wrong way' to do all these things, I'm very curious to here you do them the 'right way.'

[Ambient.Break]

Kew!

I quite like the theme, feel and mood of this song, but I agree that the drums kinda kick the songs ass. It may be as simple as turning down their volume.

Right as they kick in at the start they just jump right on top of the melody that I'd like to hear. Fix that and add some changes to the overall theme as it progresses and I think you've got a winner.

[My Shattered Kingdom [Piano]]

Impressive stuff!

This is crazy good for newgrounds, though I'm seeing more and more good stuff here.

I currently use "WST25FStein_00Sep22." That's the actual file name, so you should be able to google it. I don't remember the actual name.

I hope to see more of this stuff, and a weee bit longer.

PianoFortress responds:

thanks, I'll check it out.

[My Morning Fantasy]

Ambient indeed!

I actually quite liked this. At first I was unhappy to hear the beat come in, but it turns out it works, especially with the slicing you've done.

I'd like to see a solo or change up in the middle, and some sort of real ending (fading out is sooo 90's :P) but I'm happy enough to look at more of your stuff.

HungarianSupermarket responds:

Yeaahhhh, cheesy tasteless fade-ins and outs I know. But I figured I better get some feedback before I completely wreck this. And speaking of which, thankyou for that!

[Run, Charlotte, Run!]

I'm likeing this.

I like the feel of this song. Its more opinion than critique, but I feel the drums and piano need some sort of reverb or something to soften them up. They ride a little high on top of the smoothness underneath.

Usernamemyarse responds:

I cant disagree there, But i didnt have much of a choice since the garageband reverb sucks...
Thanks for reviewing!

[The En(tropyoftheuniverse)d]

Um...

Sorry, but if the goal was to produce something both physically and literally painful to listen to, you've achieved it.

This literally reminded me of the songs they loop over and over during SERE school to 'torture' detainees. The majority of the song consists of what I can only assume is an audio clip used without permission from the owner.

LeftHandPunk responds:

Thank you for the 'constructive' criticism. This was a collaborative effort by the author of the poem and I. I'm well aware it is not for eveyone and I am sorry it wasn't for you. Maybe I could work out a Dave Matthews cover to win your heart. Cool anime icon by the way, bro!

[My concept]

Wow!

Don't get me wrong, I love newgrounds, but this is far too good for a place like this. I don't know the first thing about music composition (see my work, you'll see what I mean) but I can spot good music when I hear it.

Impressive work here!

[One Last Sunset]

Fantastic!

This work is inspiring! And its true, I hear James Horner ALL OVER it, but that's not a bad thing at all. I was originally blown away by James Horner's work on Titanic, and Brave Heart, and hadn't been truly satisfied with his work until Avatar.

I'm curious though. What software are you using, and what plugin or Sound Font do you use for the Stargate SG-1 like chore I hear in this?

Setu-Firestorm responds:

I use the host program Nuendo, but the VSTi's I use for my orchestral work is Edirol Orchestral and EastWest Symphonic Orchestra (mostly for the choir patches and any heavy percussion).

[Andre's Anime Demo 2009]

Congratulations!

You've just won the "Best Male VA I've ever heard on Newgounds.com as far as I can remember off the top of my head, but probably so." Award!
FLAWLESS heartfelt delivery, CRYSTAL clear audio recording EVEN WHILE YELLING! I don't know how you do it, but DAMN son, that's some good work.

I'm bookmarking your page for future projects. Thanks for the demo ^_^

industrialplayground responds:

Thanks man

[Voice Acting Practice Demo]

Holy CRAP!

Your mic isn't pro, but its very clear, and your skills are great! Maybe its a unfair 10, but I'm a huge FMP fan, and you sound a LOT like Luci Christian, the English voice actor for Kaname Chidori! I'm sure you've heard that before, but wow. I mean, wow.

snowfender responds:

aw hey thanks for the comment! actually, i've never heard that before =) but thanks again haha
