My attempt at Jack's Lament (Nightmare Before Christmas)

This is my attempt at doing "Jack's Lament" from the Tim Burton film "the Nightmare Before Christmas". I happen to be doing this as a molonogue for my audition into my university's acting program. Criticism is greatly appreciated.

Much thanks to LordJazor for giving me the confidence I need. I hope to become a professional voice actor much like him someday. More to come!

A few notes were a bit iffy but in overalness great job! Your energy is a bit too aggressive though, intensity doesn't just equal screaming but by several strong emotions. It's a lament so a bit more regret/sadness in your voice! I hear some perfect emotion in several lines so you definitly show much promise! =)

@VActorDreamer I can understand where you're getting at, and it's true. Sometimes it is overlooked by bits. Thanks very much for your constructive critique. I'm sure this will come to great use if I will do it again :)

Oh my! I totally LOVE the attitude in your voice!! You'd be great as a voice actor! 8D

@Magalink Thanks,that means a lot! I'll be sure to release more; hopefully you'll like it just as much :)

hey i noticed the youtube account that you got the instrumental from has been shut down, i was wondering if you still had the mp3 back track and would be able to send it to me?

[XionicXDemon]

@coldstreek Oh, I think I still may. It's in an mp4 file though. Care to send me your e-mail?

Wow that was awesome! Great job! :D Keep it up.

@LordJazor So it seems I have. Maybe I'll attempt to do it again aftewards. Thanks very much, sir! I appreciate the positive feedback.

It's not bad singing-wise, but I think you played the character as a bit more evil than he actually is. Makes it harder to sympathize with his plight in this song. But your voice is quite good, mate!
