In a separate thread I wanted to get feedback on the kid voices I've been trying out. vocaroo.com/i/s1xHC2z5OUIAvocaroo.com/i/s1geE12wYJ69I've been told that my voice could work really well for kids and I'm still working out the kinks here but I wanted to get outside opinions about where to improve. Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and help.

There's a lot of straining here. It doesn't sound natural. Kids can be excitable but you're pushing it too far. The first clip kinda sounds like you're constantly on the verge of tears or about to burst into laughter (as with the second clip, but in a more ambiguous way - the last delivery was better and gave a bit more personality). Also the line "I saw my mom get super excited... over a box of toffee... being on sale." sounded like you forgot to read the entire line rather than highlighting the absurdity which is what I'm going to assume was the intention. You also began to slip out of the voice a bit, but I tend to have that problem too.
The potential's there but you just don't sound comfortable in your voice. Boy voices don't need to be strained and rough, they just need to be a bit deeper and more boisterous. It might be worth stretching out your voice with voices you're actually comfortable with first, in order to reach parts of your range you wouldn't be able to get coming in fresh. As with anything, keep practising, and have a listen to the more quintessential "kid" voices out there for both male and female kids to see what kind of nuances you can pick up.

I'll try to listen to more children and work on making it sound more natural with out straining my range
