Help - my voice - I don't know what to do

[Sollar Eclipse 22]

I only would like to made a fandub of an episode of season 3. I searched for voice-actors in Brazil, but no one had a good voice for Spike. So, I tried to do myself, the problem is that I don't know if is good or not. Some people say that it is and other people say that is too mature for him. But I can't understand I do everything to make his voice like a child. Also, my throat bleeds when I do a very high pitch because my voice is too deep.

Here the voice that I make:

Assuming I know what you were saying, as a completely neutral and un-biased 3rd party, I'd like to give you some feedback on your VA.

I thought the voice itself was a little too full, and a little too low to really capture spike.  I think we can all agree that Spike would be very difficult to capture anyways.  After trying numerous attempts myself, I can't even get anywhere as close as where you are.

 

However, the biggest thing that stuck out for me, was the lack of emotion in your voice, I would have liked to hear you explore different pitches and levels of excitement.  I find your voice stays in the same pitch nearly the whole time, and the same volume.  Have some fun with it!!!  If you're not having fun, then we're not having fun!

Not sure if this helps or not, seeing as I'm not a VA, but I thought I'd leave this here anyways.

I second Level's comment about how you need to express more emotion in the voice. I also think it should be higher to be an accurate Spike. However, it's better than many other attempts at Spike that I've heard. Not bad. If you kept it in the fandub, I wouldn't notice any problem, but if you really wanna be accurate, you're probably going to need a female or a man with a naturally high voice.

I will try to search, but is kind sad to don't make Spike anymore... I worked so hard on his voice... Many months praticing... And... It's really hard for me to say goodbye.

   Yeah, I can make a lot of voices, they are high and deep. The my natural voice is mix of high and deep. So, I'm able to get a high pitch or a deep pitch easly. But is a not a thing in a day. I really need to act better with that voice but is so hard to make that voice.

Look the evolution of my Spike voice in months:
