Also I do think posting some fandubs on tiktok would be great! :D Would love to be a part of that if you're open ^-^
I like the delivery here! It captures Saki's stoic yet comedic personality really well! A couple of notes: in your first-line delivery, the energy feels a bit different; it keeps that monotone, deadpan delivery she has, while the other two lines have a bit more energy and pacing behind them. Not the end of the world; just try to match the pace you choose! Also, the track sounds a bit muffled and boxy. Again, not the end of the world, but this takes a bit more work to fix! A quiet recording space is crucial, but things like sound-dampening tiles or blankets on the wall can help stop sound from bouncing back into the microphone! Even a big, heavy blanket over you and the mic can help reduce some outside noise and echo. I'd also focus on adding a tiny bit of processing to the track. This is where things get technical, and you'll need to spend time researching and gaining experience. I'd recommend learning about EQ, compression, and either a noise gate or limiter. YouTube has great tutorials on both using those tools and setting up a nice space! These are the basics, but if you understand how to use them and apply them, you'll be way farther along than most! You've got a great voice, and I'm glad to hear you're interested in the fandubs! I will absolutely reach out when they get started. Great audition. Keep improving; trust me, you've got what it takes!
Thanks so much! The different delivery tones I just was copying the youtube video you provided and was trying to be as spot on as I can. I could free style it more next time and do my own interpretation instead of trying to mimic exactly what I hear! If you would like, I can redo them ofc! It being muffled sounding, I added quite a bit of noise reduction so that's my bad. I'll try to refine that better. I usually use my headphones or my speakers to listen to my audios and they sound different each time. I use my headphones the most to listen and then just refine it till it sounds the best with them. I definitely will go back to using a blanket or something to make everything more soundproof! I did that before with my other mic since it wasn't the best. I have a Rode NT1 5th Gen now so I stopped with the blanket since it sounds pretty good to me. But I'll go back to it, so it sounds even better and I don't have to put as much noise reduction on :D I also did put on some EQ filters, I'll do more research though to find out what the absolute best settings are and everything though.
Thanks again for the feedback! I appreciate it a ton <3
Of course, don't sweat it! And I appreciate the attention to detail in the video! I'm glad people could use it as a resource! As far as the project, I'm not allowing retakes since last time there were quite a lot, and it added a lot to my plate. I hope you understand! Yeah, headphones are very important! I'd recommend using headphones over speakers, since, as you said, audio from speakers can sound different. Unfortunately, I don't have a recommendation for headphones. I use the Sennheiser Consumer Audio HD 650s inside the studio and, outside of it, the Sennheiser HD 620s, but they are a bit pricey. I've enjoyed them and used them a ton, and I love 'em! Also, absolutely no problem with the feedback! I'm always happy to, and casting always gives me some great experience as a director and helps sharpen my ear!
Yeah no worries! I understand. I took your advice and my audio sounds a lot better now! Thanks again!! I wish the best of luck on all your future projects and more :D I'll be looking forward to hearing more from you on those fandubs once you get them started!!
That's wonderful to hear! And thanks so much for the kind words! I think for the next season/project, I may bring in a TON more voices, so that'll be super exciting, obviously, still a ways off lol! And of course, I'll work on some fandubs for fun while I begin developing the next project after this!
