On the Way to a Smile Audiobooks

Also "Ket-Shee" FTW

I originally did this Old-Snake type sort of voice for Dyne, but it sounded like his voice had gone through an angle grinder (which happened to me I guess with the cold I had over the weekend =/) so I've put in a bit of a different voice with an accent.

Also Kilmister is such a wierdo

 

[Strangelove]

I wanted to be Kilmister, but then I realised I can't do a decent old guy voice or any for that matter

 

[Winter]

I was going to do Yuffie, but my life got in the way.

Is it still open? THERE SEEMS TO BE QUESTION MARKS.

 

[Pixel]

Im trying to get in contact with her, but she hasnt replied. I'll give it another week, then i'll just recast it. Its a shame, because she's great as Yuffie.

 

[Hisako]

Kilmister is pronounced, like, 'kill'-'mistur' amirite

 

[Pixel]

I think so, I'll go with whatever way Ryu pronounces it

My Rufus VA pronounced it kil-meister, but he said he misread that. Im pretty sure its kil-mister.

btw, just send over any voices you try for Dyne and i'll decide what would work. I just need to get all of the characters recorded for Maiden, so I can get it editted and start work on the score

Hey, hito, record something random so i can hear your voice and mic quality. There are plenty of male extra roles, so im sure I can find someting for you.

 

[Hisako]

Yeah I used to pronounce it kil-meister as well, but then I changed after like 5 recordings

EDIT: The old-snake recording has been savaged by crappy use of noise reduction. It's pretty much unusable but I'll send it over anyway because the original recording still exists if you want to use it

 

[Pixel]

Dont worry about any noise reduction. Ive pretty much perfected that art now, so leave that to me

 

[ForceStealer]

Ryu: Was "may-ko" on first reference an accident, or are both pronunciations in there to satisfy everybody?

Though I'm used to it now, may-ko is still so much better

 

[Strangelove]

Kilmister is pronounced, like, 'kill'-'mistur' amirite

'Kill-mister/mistur', at least going on the Japanese pronunciation

I might try to put something together later on. Then listen back to it and decide not to

Oh.


O WELL

 

[Pixel]

Hey, just got to listening to your lines. Kilmister was perfect. Could you use that voice for old man Sakaki in Case of Barret? I think that would really work. I didnt want to go with a stereotypical old man voice for that role.

Just be careful of mouse clicking while speaking. The mic is picking that up.

Your voice as Dyne in the second version, think the file was EXMIC090211001.mp3, was great, but theres a shit tonne of distortion on the audio that i dont think i can fix. If you'd be able to rerecord that and leave any cleanup to me, it would be awesome.

How come the quality is so different between the recordings?

 

[Hisako]

The second Dyne voice was done on a bad day, and when I mean bad day I mean the mp3 had to be charged on the laptop, and I was sitting on the table half-dead with a cold that wrecked my throat, which is how I could get my voice so gravelly-sounding. I took advantage of the opportunity


Unfortunately that means any rerecording is going to sound very very different. However, I do have the original, barely-altered (altered to get rid of the disgusting sniffling noises I made during the recording ) recording, so I guess I can send that to you. The poor distortion was a result of my crappy noise-removal but after a bit more practice the results improved much more and I believe the source file is quite serviceable. Although like you want, I'll leave it up to you this time, and there's probably a bit more for you to mix and match as well (I usually end up cutting/pasting/replacing words and syllables in sentences to make them sound better, part of the reason why I repeat lines so many times)

The main source of distortion comes from whenever the mp3 is plugged into a power source. Apart from that, though, the external mike is at least 10 years old, although for me it still works wonders and did so for uni lectures.

Sasaki, huh... I remember reading a bit of his stuff. I'll try something similar, just to change the voice a tiny bit just in case you're actually going to use Kilmister's lines

EDIT: I'll probably upload everything I need to send at the same time, so you might not get anything for a few days D;

 

[haichinamie]

Wow Ryu's voice fucking sucks!

 

[Dashell]

Does it swallow?

 

[Strangelove]

Gross.

The poor distortion was a result of my crappy noise-removal but after a bit more practice the results improved much more and I believe the source file is quite serviceable.

Maybe a bit of distortion could be used for the dead people in Maiden? They are supposed to be not as whole or stable as Aerith is, so maybe some kind of effect on the audio could help emphasise that.

 

[Pixel]

Yeah, im using some reverb effects to give it an ecco-y sound, like when we hear Aerith's voice in AC

 

[ForceStealer]

So do we wanna frontpage any of this soon?

 

[Pixel]

Wait until I have a trailer. I just need a yuffie line for it. Hopefully ill have something to put up by the start of April. Maybe April 1st

 

[ForceStealer]

Cool

A suspicious auspicious day.

 

[Pixel]

muahahaha I just met with a composer called Roy Todd here in belfast, so i'll be using some of his music along with a few other composers. This is going to be EPIC!!!! Ive also found a song for the end credits for the youtube version.

 

[Baldy]

Yes to the non-April Fools joke. Everybody sounds great - Tifa and Marlene are PERFECT MY GOD, and Cloud's shitload of pauses are magnificently IC. It's great to hear that you'll be able to use music other than recycled tunes from FFVII. I can't wait to hear that trailer!

 

[Hisako]

Internet isn't working properly on my side, so I've been set back until the Easter holidays until I can get Sakaki from CoB uploaded. Hope this won't make too much of a dent in your plans dude. =/
