Moves really well. I like the edit. You've got lots of character to your voice, too. Nice. Love your tongue-in-cheek announcer guy voice...very entertaining. Just my $.02.

You have a great sounding voice and clearly the all american, high energy, hard sell spots are your niche. I am a British VA so bear that in mind when you read this as I don't know your market so well.

If I was to be really picky, your voice sounds exactly the same in the first 4 or 5 spots, almost as if it were all one advert. You show a little more range in some of the spots towards the end where you do some character voices. Maybe consider moving a few to the front end of the demo to break it up a little?

I liked all the spots and the mixing and am secretly jealous of the energy you bring to your performances! My only concern would be your ability to voice other types of spot. I know some male VAs can do what you can do (perhaps not even as well) but can also do the more serious and sophisticated spots too. I guess it depends which school of thought you belong to... do you want someone who is an all rounder or someone who excels in one particular niche. If you are an agent I guess you want the former but the client probably wants the latter.
