(Please read line contect in description!): “Huh? Man you seriously get on my nerves.”
Ok so.... This was a thing and a half to do. In the end I personally really the voice the way it fit with the video, And it was really fun to do... But this is the first time I've ever tried syncing up my dialogue to lips and all that. It was difficult and frustrating and.... I apologize for the mouse clicks in the background as the way I ended up doing it was I would just repeat the muted clip over and over until I got a few takes that I liked. I hope that it's something that would able to be edited around. I'm not sure my editing isn't quite what I'd call on point. Either way, I'm excited this was fun to do, and even in the event nothing comes out of it. It made for really good practice, which is good. Anyway.... as always any and all criticism is welcomed and appreciated. Thanks for the opportunity to audition for this. (Also apologies for the wall of text, I need to work on that)
Hey there, Arvil! No worries about sending a wall of text (as that's practically what I do every time I type XD)! To be honest I didn't even hear the mouse clicks you mentioned, but that could just be due to me listening to your audition on my TV soundbar and not on my good headphones (which I will do!). But for now, we won't worry about the mouse clicks since this is just and audition. When I match lip flap in any of my projects, I usually just do it within Adobe Premiere. That way I can dub in real time over the muted video. There are other ways to do it, such as with Adobe Audition, but honestly, I've never truly researched to find the best method as Adobe Premiere has always worked for me :) I did learn (the hard way) a long time ago that saying the lines without looking at the video and trying to "fix it in post" to match the lip flap is a nightmare. So, I always tell people that if you don't have a way to match lip flap in real time in a program, you can at least leave a program like Audacity running in the background and then play your video in another program and dub that way. It would just take up quite a lot of your time to edit >.< Aaaaanyway (see, I'm yakking for a paragraph X'D), thank you so much for your audition, you did a great job! I appreciate anyone who actively pursues a role by contacting me or simply saying they are open for feedback :) Thanks a million, ~Lan :D
