Final Fantasy Monolgues/Audition: Villains

A trio of monologues performed by myself. Just stretching my voice acting skills in the event that at the convention Otakon the chance to show them may arise. The set is Kuja, The Emperor and Kefka. I re-worked some of the lines to make them into workable monologue. Please be sure to comment and chose which you think was best. Also, feel free to critique, please!

Then again, people who play Final Fantasy have to look out for each other, right?

@kefka151 Meh, I'm a stage actor, I'm used to criticism. And I agree, Kuja is definitely my weakest. Thing is, this Kefka was kinda sedated. I -do- live with others so I really couldn't let loose the way I wanted too. Maybe I'll do it again but go someplace I go really go nuts. And thanks. That cackle was like, spur of the moment so I should probably practice it a bit more ^^;

Well... I'd like to say this was awesome, but it wasn't. The Emperor was lackluster, though you really nailed his cackle. You didn't really follow the guidelines in the spoken text in Dissidia for Kefka, though that had some good parts. You should have emphasized "Destruction Incarnate!" a bit more. And... Kuja... I am so sorry. I love Kuja. He is my favorite villain, but you did not sound like him. I would stick to the Emperor or, to a lesser extent, Kefka

@kefka151 That's fine, that's why I put this up. The Kuja one was more or less a fluke since I needed to have back-ups. The Kefka one is my own interpretation and I really didn't want to go with the one from Dissidia, not precisely anyway. It defeats the purpose if I match his voice. The same for the Emperor though it's funny since you're the first to say he was my strongest.

Oh, by the way, did I mention that acting is cool? Oh, I did? Ok, cool... There I go again?

[kefka151]

Cool that you're a live actor. I actually perform Shakespeare with a group of 15-17 year olds. Acting really is cool. You meet a lot of great people and it's really cool. Back to the video, though, I especially liked it when you said "Insects may swarm but they are insects nonetheless." That was epic!

[kefka151]

So I'm sorry for the harshness of my first comment. And thank you for not responding over defensively and cursing me out like some people do.

[kefka151]

I can't believe that I am the first to say that the emperor is the best of your voice acting skills. I loved your evil cackle. It sent chills down my spine. And you actually did a rather admirable job on Kefka. Despite lacking some expression in parts, I was really impressed. But don't waste your time with Kuja. Your voice isn't naturally high enough.

[kefka151]

The emperor was your strongest. Listening to your Kefka monolgue again, I actually would like to revise my earlier comment. Kefka was performed admirably. Despite lacking some of the smaller details in expression, you give Kefka a good voice. And yes, sorry, but Kuja was a fluke.

[kefka151]

Watching the video again, I must say that you butchered Kuja's "Peace is but a shadow" monologue.And that's really too bad, considering that it is one of the best Final fantasy monologue. That's ok though. Kuja is one of the hardest characters to voice. You really have to be like Kuja to voice him. I say that you should continue voice acting.
