Thetageist's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[I'll Narrate!]

The dialogue sometimes comes across as written a bit stiffly, but the delivery and voices are fun, and I love the way the premise gets played with in ridiculous ways.

If you're still trying to find free music and sounds for the background, try Pixabay's audio section, Incompetech, FreePD, and the legacy tracks from MachinimaSound.

Plasmarift responds:

Thanks for the review! It's hard to believe it's been so long since I made this one.

I've since gotten better at finding music and sounds (I've been using Freesound). I'd heard of Incompetech though the others are new to me. I'll keep them in mind for the future! Thank you for telling me about them!

[Woody's Roundup - Ragtime]

Oh Lord, the lyrics! The unenthused delivery with an accent, combined with harmonizing. Sounds like a great parody song to me! The piano playing is on point too!

ZaazNG responds:

Thank you so much! This was a blast to work on, and Tim's lyrics are brilliant lol
Glad that you enjoyed it! :D

[Literature Reading Sample]

I think I can hear a little bit of your voice reflecting off of something, but that's not really a big issue. Very good narration and cadence for the excerpt's tone.

[Newgrounds Voice Acting Collaboration 2022 - Sample Lines]

Hello! I happened to find you via the Creepypasta collab thread. I might need some voice actors soon for a project, so I made a list of the voice actors who added to the thread to start off.

This is really clean audio and great delivery, with a wide range of tones of voice/inflections to convey different characterizations!

Plasmarift responds:

Thank you very much! I was actually embarrassed to find out I submitted this audition after the collaboration had closed (in my defense, the announcement that it was closed was in a reply to the original post). Still, I'm glad you liked it!

I'm honored that you are considering me for a project. I'd be interested in hearing about it. Even if I'm ultimately not chosen for it, I wish you luck with it!

[Wiggle Arms Space Force]

Love the retro video game vibe with the punchy chords and percussion! This is so much fun!

[With Gun & Burger]

*off key* nanananana na nanananana na nanananana na nanananana na

Now that I listened to the original for context, I get the humor of this and I absolutely love it. The juxtaposition of epic rock/orchestral and Latin choir with banjo, guns, and an occasional "YEEEEEEHAW!" or "AAAH!" thrown in is just top notch. Very silly, very hillbilly/overall "Murica" humor, very great.

[With Gun & Crucifix]

So I listened to this first to understand the context of Waterflame's "With Gun and Burger", and this is genuinely amazing! It fits together pretty coherently as a cinematic piece, and it has a catchy melody as well. It's definitely not orchestrated in the way somebody with classical training might do, but it supports itself well enough that it doesn't need to.

[SPACE ROBOT BATTLE!!]

It's not quite my taste in boss themes, but I'm giving it 5 stars anyway because of just how well-executed it is. I love the different synth instruments you used and how they all fit together really well in the mix!

Hmm, after I beat the space robot, I scavenged as much material as I could from its body and made some cool inventions! The best prize is the one that allows you an opportunity to create.

[Rob Boss [Olive's Art-Venture OST]]

I never got to play the game, since I don't own a drawing tablet, but I happened to see this pop up and got curious. Love the way this sounds, with the distorted Bob Ross voice clips and overall electronic sound of it combined with the chiptune synths and distorted rock guitars. It all just fits really well together, very coherently. I also say that the methods you used to distort the Bob Ross clips are just spot on for a creepy electronic vibe. Love it overall!

Edit: And it also doesn't get old after listening to it on loop many times. An important thing for video game music!
