How does this not have any comments?

This is awesome. I'm a big Gaiman fan, so I definitely appreciate this (although I've never read this before (is this from a novel of his, or is it a book of poems or...?). I think the impact of the last lines is supported by the fact that you read the whole thing deadpan, even while the subject matter seems a bit silly at first.

And the way it just ENDS, letting the music fade away and leaving you to your thoughts. As for the poem itself it's certainly unique structurally. It's a very roundabout way of making a simple point that I'm not sure how I feel about (whether I agree with the point itself, or how it was presented, etc.). But I ain't hear to critique the British dude, this is a review of your voice acting. Which is awesome here, the perfect "solemn narrator." And great use of that music too, by the way.

RicePirate responds:

Thanks so much! I'm a big NG fan, too. Didn't know a whole lot about his poetry though ... I was brought to this by a friend who wanted a reading for xmas. The music most certainly helped out A LOT :P Glad you enjoyed it!

Pretty damn good

The second to last voice was awesome.

I've always had a lot of respect for voice actors. You sound like you have a lot of potential, man. I'm not that smart on the subject so I can't give you an in-depth critique, but, keep it up.

Hi there,
Thanks for stopping by and giving your thoughts! :) I appreciate the kind words man, so don't worry about not being able to do an in depth critique.

Take care!

Great lyrics

And some good rythym too. Was it a conscious decision to not have a beat?

Huh

Makes me think of Castle Crashers. It's got that epic fight/march feeling going on.

NemesisTheory responds:

Thanks for that! I really love David's music, so to see that comparison really makes me smile. :)

Really cool

I love how while the beat stays the same, the music around it progresses throughout the song, giving someone something else to listen to besides the lyrics of the would-be rapper.

Yeah

I could hear Kook Keith rapping over this. Weird thing is, I don't know which of his personas he'd be using.

kurotoko responds:

Kool Keith eh? i gotta check that guy out! Thanks for the review brodie!

I write a variety of stuff, short stories, raps, other things. And now I'm arting a lil bit.
