Flash series I am sick of volume 2.

Here's the original

1. Broken Saints: What's the big deal? This has been blown out of proportion to the point where it needs mentioning. Sure it has David Kaye and Scott McNeil, but there are better flash cartoons that they and the rest of the cast of this could be in. Seeing that it's nothing more than Clutch Cargo meets Alan Moore, but Moore's stuff was great reading.

2. Sonic Shorts: I avoid these cartoons for a good reason, maybe it's due to the fact they try too much to be like Skittles 'N Bitz.

3. Nin10Doh! (Both of them): The animation was excellent, but most of the sketches in them consist of jokes that were ripped out of various webcomics, 4chan, YTMND, and YouTube. Sure, Kirbopher/Neo-C is a great voice actor, but the voices in those two collabs were, quite frankly, annoying as hell. And this is coming from someone who enjoyed the Parody Rangers cartoons (except for the movie).

4. How to Succeed on NG: Even though I liked the jabs at Omahdon, Tomamoto, Rina-Chan, Egoraptor, and I think either Lucien Dodge or Tam Tu Bui. This deserves mentioning even though it is just two parts. It copies off of Portal Detour and NG Sticks, which preceeded it by eight years. And many of the jokes and the opinions expressed by Biff The Timid seem as if they were taken from I-Mockery.

5. Superhero Slayers: I'm sorry, but the only person who did enjoyable Marvel/DC-related cartoons is Wogoat. Episode Three was just generic, poorly paced, and boring to watch. Plus, the voice acting sucked...hard. If the other episodes are like the one I saw, I'll probably just end up hating on it.

6. Arfenhouse: I liked the first two cartoons, but the rest of them are too random to be funny. Plus, Misteroo and DL Neutrino are in no place to criticize any other flash cartoonist without looking like complete hypocrites because of how random and poorly-made the Arfenhouse cartoons are even though that was intended.

The only reason I didn't like Nin10doh is because of the pokeporn scenes.

Yeow. You're quite a tough one to please, even by my standards. But again, I do thank you for taking the time to watch through SHS3, despite not enjoying it. Though when I hear "suck hard" voice acting on NG, I tend to think of this site's typical unenthused reads, scratchy mic quality, and mis-cast VAs stumbling through characters and scenarios they don't have any grasp on; things I thought I did at least a... semi-decent job of having my cast avoid, as I was very picky.

Yours is really the only negative reception I've gotten to this episode's voicework so far, so I wouldn't mind knowing if any specific moment or overall performance stood out to you, be it good or bad. My only goal as director has been to deliver the best work possible, so I'm constantly looking for ways to push myself and the rest of the cast even harder than I already do.

I absolutely LOVE Wogoat's Marvel parody work, by the way. But that's an entirely different beast altogether.

Ooh... and kinda interesting to see Project Inthri on your previous list. It's so obscure and each game released nearly 2 years apart, so I'm surprised whenever someone actually knows of the series. Rhete worked really hard on redoing all the character art for PI3, though. It's not "omg crazy graffix!", but still a -huge- step up from the previous two.

JohnnyUtah was later supposed to head up a full graphical redesign of it, but unfortunately, never got any further than the little bit he showed here.

Dude, with the exception of your Green Lantern; Most of the voices were more annoying than believable. If you want to see voice acting in flash done right, check out Miss Dynamite 8 to 14, Evil Dave's stuff, Stick Slayer, the first two Parody Rangers cartoons, and Banned Slim Jim Ad. I hate having to give bad reviews to good cartoonists, but even they miss the mark from time to time.

LOL. i heard what you think about the top voice actors. man. theyre good, but its not fair that we dont get a chance. i have not been asked for one submission yet and i posted up my demo reel about a month ago. i entered a VA contest that i wont win LOL. propably because i dont have the fancy equipment. i work hard on my voices for 10 years and no one other than people i asked have checked out my stuff. man NG sucks for voice actors. never mind. i am bringing out my own submission, i hope that gets some peoples attention. it will be my first made animation. (LOL) and i hope it doesnt get blammed. :D:D:D i guess i am waffling about this because you appear to stand up for us lower guys. i just want to say thank you..... really.

thank you.

Hey, send me a link and I'll see what I can do. However, I have more ambition than animation and artistic skills, but I do have a few scripts written. Just because you don't have high end equipment does not affect your actual acting skills.

Stalagmite, it's not nearly as hard to get into voicing flash toons as you think, -especially- if you're naturally talented. But just like in the pro field, you need to know how best to market yourself, AND where to be on the lookout for new opportunities.

The people who are popular now, only got where they are by knowing these things. I'll PM you with more later, after I've listened through your work.
