What's this? A male voice actor?

[Miss Rigi]

Welcome to the forum C: Mic quality is definitely something to look into, whether it be looking up audio software to clean your recordings or investing in a new one. As for your acting itself, I can tell you're a step above many for your reciting techniques already, so I don't hear any of that monotone Kartan's pegged. I just hear you being quiet.

For more samples, I'd recommend cycling through the extremes of emotions; try furious, try weeping, try excited, etc. After all, those are the most fun.

Are you familiar with voice acting or has your past experience just been Shakespearean/stagework?
