[Burning Bush Radio episode 1]

Nice work! Also Night Vale <3

DisgruntledSkeleton responds:

Thank you!! Yeah Night Vale is amazing.

[TokyoDream Voiceover Demotape]

Hey man, welcome to the club, seems you're off to a decent start. A little boost to the overall volume of your track would be good, but other than that you're sounding great. Let's see what else you'll be bringing to the table. Good luck!

TokyoDream responds:

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I bought a new Yamaha mixing board for my Shure mic so I'm still working out the kinks. Once I've gotten a few gigs under my belt I plan to do a new demotape. Really appreciate the feedback!

[Look Within]

Great work once more, my sweet potato

ZaazNG responds:

Thank you so much, pumpkin <3

[Homecoming]

Damn, this story is amazing, and the slightly monotone voice in which you tell it - which may or may not be a conscious decision to apply - works really well with it. The production could use some loving: the volume is kinda low, some EQ and a minute touch of reverb would add some sparkle to your voice and the background noise is an undefined rumble - either try to get rid of it or make sure it has definition. As for the storytelling itself, I don't think you need to actively put on another voice for your different characters, but if you don't, slightly longer pauses between their lines would help differentiate between them.

If you ever have another story like this one and polish it up like that, you'll have certified grade A material on your hands. Keep 'em coming!

Bleak-Creep responds:

Thanks! Yeah, the production was a rush job so that I could get it out right away and I know I’m probably not the best narrator either, but I might have to do something else with the story at some point or another. :)

I have some animations that are similar in the writing style, but they’re usually written as more of poems too. Thanks for the pointers! And thanks for listening too!

[The Boyahs - Jail - Episode 1]

Hey man, nice going, I think you're on to something here! The length of these skits is pretty daunting though, so I'll need to sit down and give them a good listen, but what I hear so far sounds like it could use some more sound effects or maybe a bit of music to spice it up further. And assuming you're not making heavy use of it yet, some EQ to clean up the voices. Feel free to hit me up if you want to know more. Either way, keep up the good work!

Risible responds:

About time I've received feedback on these things. I appreciate the helpful words!

[A Therapeudic Nightcap]

Nice work Tom, and a great casting on the bartender too <3

Tommytomtom619 responds:

Thanks Lucky! I've been wanting to collab with Eltrain for a long while now.

[lost winter]

So I promised you an official NGADM judge review and by gods will I stick to my promise - but having read through the reviews below, you're not going appreciate what I have to say. So I'll run with this:

I can't deny your track is very well made. I could go into technical details on this, but everything's already been said and it appears my skills in this respect mark me as the last person in this merry band to say something sensible about this.

But with all the feedback you're getting, all you do is complain and deny whatever criticism is thrown your way. You're basically bringing a knife to a gunfight to then start telling the judges they're doing it wrong and the competition is flawed. The music you choose to make is great for the dance floor, but in just about any competition you're doing yourself an enormous disservice by submitting something long and monotonous (compared to 99% of the other submissions). That's not the competition's fault.

Congratulations on your place in the finals - which you have definitely earned. A little self-reflection would suit you.

Sequenced responds:

I'm making music I enjoy doing, sorry.

[The Beast]

Hey the acting on this is pretty damn solid! Work those production skills a little - the overall volume of the track is very low, creating a number of other challenges - and you'll be making amazing stuff.

ImDennisMenace responds:

Noted my man, thank you for the feedback! Genuinely appreciate it! I think I still have the project file saved so I can actually fix it this time.
