Critique a Custom Demo?

I seem to remember a forum where people could compare their demos with others for the same gig. In an effort to learn (and hopefully boost my visibility) I submit this demo for a recent educational program.

It's a pretty good paying gig and I got a custom invite; on the other hand so did 100 other folks. Oh well...

Here 'tis. Fire when ready.

Post that on Leads and Reads. The thread we're on now is more for Generic demos; Narration, Commercial, etc to get helpful critique.

As for your Whoniverse, that one was a little tough. Which way do you go with it? How do you do the voice of God and say words like 'teeny-tiny' at the same time?

The instructions said they wanted something like Nova and at the same time playful, like a kid's TV show. I think you might have gone too far both ways with your read. However, it's up to the seeker to decide that. Did you get a rating?

I didn't get an invite, but I did one just for practice and to be ready if I got a late invitation. Here's mine....

Thanks for the feedback, and the redirection....I'll head over there.
