I did a fandub! MYSELF?!

[tomoyoichijouji]

So yeah, here is another fandub that I'm in -- only there's something different about it: I mixed all the sound effects, music, and voices myself!! Meaning, I personally synced all the sounds, obtained from sources other than the source movie, to the video, and adjusted volume, etc. =D I voiced Chihiro as well. And I did all of this last night

ALL RIGHT WELL. MY OPINION, I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU.

Your voice acting was pretty amazing. You got that plucky girl feel down quite nicely. And your "wtf I'm see-through!!" voice was adorable.

The mixing for the water was spectacular, not a splash out of place. (Except for the initial entry, which was more of a plop, and better suited for a large, round, solid object.) I am impressed.

The SFX when she was beating at her head, trying to wake up, and the flip of her hair came across as a little too conspicuous. Subtle sounds like that should be felt rather than heard.

BUT I AM A TOTAL NOOB AT MIXING SO IDEK. I LIKED IT. GOOD JOB. 8D

Heheh, actually you said the exact same things as another person who is an experienced mixer, so you've got good ears. =3 I really appreciate it! Things like this are kinda hard for me to pick out, as I think my ears aren't discerning enough yet.

...Actually, while we're on that...in the future, for one project I'm currently cobbling together, would you be willing to have a sneak peek at it and just tell me the kinds of things you did just now? The things that you mentioned are very easily fixable once I actually *know* about them, it's just lowering the volume on those SFX and upping the pitch on the splash (yes, that makes the splash smaller and shallower =P nifty, eh?) -- I'd love it if I could have a sort of "second ear" for that big project of mine before I release stuff, because once it's released, well...it's released and it's awkward to go back and fix things ^^;; NOT THAT I'M PRESSURING YOU OR ANYTHING. Just if you think looking at stuff before everybody else sounds exciting or not. 9_9

Um. I'd be super happy to, because it's basically allowing me to nitpick soundtracks and get thanks for it? (I love nitpicking sounds. Hearing! Yay! Thank you God/Earth/Mother/my DNA for allowing me to hear things. <3) But I mean...you don't want someone with a bit more experience? Either way, I'd be more than willing to listen to it and tell you what I think works/doesn't work, but I'd recommend in advance that you bring a shaker of salt. >_>

Yes it does sound exciting, very much so =DDD

Oops, response a week later. 8D;;

Seriously, just having a second ear will help a lot -- often someone can spot if "something's too loud" more than someone who's been working on it for hours. =P And since you caught pretty much everything that someone who was very experienced also pointed out to me, I think you have a discerning enough ear that I shan't worry about getting wayward advice. =3

If you're wondering what you might be looking at in the future, I'm on my way to creating a manga video for this webcomic here: No Rest for the Wicked; still waiting for a critiquer to get back with me on a visual test run I did, but I'm scripting and gathering SFX, so...=D And oh yes, I have the audition page all prettily formatted and ready to copy-paste onto the VAA forums. I hope people will admire the pretty; I worked really hard to make it visually appealing. ^o^ (As to whether I succeeded, that remains to be seen, but at least I made it spick and span organized and clean.)

Sent ya a PM regarding stuff to look at a few days ago! Didya get it? (Just wanted to make sure XP )
