Hey Guys, I decided to make this role reveal video. I voice a detective (Samuel Anders) in the game. I got the role 5 days ago.

M'kay, since you posted this in critiques and whatnot... I'm gonna critique.
You sound drunk and unable to pronounce words correctly. "There is... lillerly something..." Pronounce your Ts. Pronounce all words properly. Diction is important - even characters with speech impediments such as lisps are clearly understandable, which this here isn't. There is absolutely no conviction in your lines. You are only reading. You're not acting. There is no vibe of "detective". I would not trust a detective who sounded like this, I would assume he was out of work and had fallen off the wagon. You need to have the feeling of a leader, someone intelligent and cunning. I'm not getting that. The pauses in what you said were unnatural (but frankly, the line itself is unnatural and poorly-written, which is not your fault). All the takes you included (well, including the half-take you accidentally cut off) sounded extremely similar, which is not the point of doing extra takes. They're to perform the same line with different emotions and inflections to try to match what the director has in mind.
Your recording set-up is not sufficient. I can hear one heck of a background echo, so you're clearly not using any soundproofing. Put up some sheets and stuff at the very least. Yeah, your Yeti is better than whatever podcasting nonsense you had before, but your area is almost as - if not just as - important as your mic.
If you want to be the overused VA you said you wanted to be, boy do you have a lot of work you need to put in. Improve your recording location, improve your diction, and improve your acting skills. You're confident, which is good, but right now it's unfounded. Go check out some real acting classes and drama performances, not stuff from your old school. As you are now, you need lots of real-world practice before you can think about getting into actual anime and game dubs. Yes, you got this role... but that is because you were "lillerly" the only one who auditioned.

Well, It was edited, after all.

That... doesn't really have anything to do with my critiques. Editing had no impact on those lines, aside from the last take being cut off. I hope you understood what I said?
