@redtie Alright. It was a bit rough, but I liked it. One thing I'm going to note (because I did it too for my first couple attempts) is that between words you often click your tongue against your teeth, creating a popping sound on the track. It's not to hard to avoid so long as you're aware of it, so I just thought I would make a note of it. As for the characterization of Lighthooves; cranking the evil factor up to 11 would not be a good idea. Lighthooves is sinister, yet subtle. He is indirect, and keeps his motives hidden until the very last moment. That's all I got

@tenmihara thanks. I'll keep an eye out for the tongue clicking thing. Never event thought about that. is there any part of my recording that sounded just right for him?
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 04:22:08 UTC from web-
@redtie I'll have to listen again, but I don't think there was any particular part that stood out from the rest. You were pretty consistent
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 04:22:51 UTC from web-
@tenmihara I'll take that as a good thing. I really wanted to play that subtle-evil, snake like kind of voice. hmm...maybe i should also try Deus..unless someone has dibs on that.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 04:24:11 UTC from web-
@redtie I was expecting to have to do Deus myself, since he's there right from the beginning. Plus the thought of yelling bananas' at ridiculous volume amuses me XD
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 04:24:58 UTC from web-
@tenmihara alright. I'll leave that to you. Iam not sure i can do any female voices (unless you have some pointers for that, since iam assuming your doing blackjack.) I have no idea how to voice act for female chaarcters.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 04:26:20 UTC from web-
@redtie According to @thatonepony my voice is appropriate for doing female voices (imperfect, but as good as a male can manage). I had a big discussion with him last night where I provided sample voices for the Macintosh Marauders =D
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 04:27:47 UTC from web-
@tenmihara also just finished Chapter 22, mind=blown. So what do you do to help do these voices? Any mental strategies or tricks.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 04:29:46 UTC from web-
@redtie I just adjust my voice to the closest match I can make for what I think they should sound like. Not really a good explanation, but I'm not sure how else to put it
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 04:32:56 UTC from web-
@tenmihara its okay, its was an odd question anyway. i haven't done any voice acting besides that one clip i sent you, but for that I tried to picture a sleazy businessman.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 04:35:16 UTC from web -
@tenmihara got some good advice from thatonepony. gonna send a better version tomorrow. What males characters aren't taken? Since i'll have the time I should try to attempt some others.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:15:09 UTC from web-
@redtie I listened to it myself as a curiosity. Sound advice he is capable of providing lol. As for additional characters, I'm not entirely sure. I still haven't figured out how to splice other audio clips in yet, so we've got time to sort it out XD
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:17:40 UTC from web-
@tenmihara alright. if its not all worked out then maybe we should just go right ahead and try to get the first chapter done. with it done and other people listening to it we'll all hear what went well and what went wrong.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:19:32 UTC from web-
@redtie I still gotta check and see if Somber's done his revisions yet. He said he was interested, but didn't want anything being done until he had polished the earlier parts up
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:20:56 UTC from web-
@tenmihara thats understandable. since there is this hold up we should prob focus on just getting better at voice acting. and by us, I mean me. since Iam a new-foal at it.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:22:50 UTC from web-
@redtie No worries. I still need practice too. I can do a great many different voices, but lots of them strain my throat, so them ore I do them the easier it should get
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:24:42 UTC from web-
@tenmihara unrelated to the actual attempt of voice acting, what's your fav character and favorite moment in the story (also Iam only half way through chapter 23 so no spoilers please)
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:26:26 UTC from web-
@redtie Rampage, and the Macintosh Marauder's Memory Orb sequence. The Drunken Museum Ambush is a close second
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:27:11 UTC from web-
@tenmihara man the museum scene was pretty sweet. But i still love the scene early on when P-21 said "if I have a gun I will shoot you" or something like that. I think the whole of chapter 22 really got to me as just very powerful and so much like the fallout games in "grim dark stuff" also I kinda squee'd at Morning glory falling for blackjack.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:29:02 UTC from web-
@redtie I was planning on doing the Marauder scene by itself and sending it to Somber to show off my vocal range and get proper approval for the project
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:36:23 UTC from web-
@tenmihara oh kiwi, if you can do all those voices that would be pretty awesome man. that was a pretty cool scene.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:38:36 UTC from web-
@redtie Ask @thatonepony =P He knows what I can do
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:40:28 UTC from web-
@tenmihara so how broad is your voice acting range tenmihara? is it something that comes naturally or do you have to struggle to get so many different voices?
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:41:55 UTC from web-
@redtie fairly broad I reckon; I have a fair number of stock voices, but if I fiddle with little things I can make more distinctions. At least, that's what it feels like. @thatonepony seemed to think my variation was pretty good anyways

@tenmihara sorry i thought my other reply would also go to thatonepony. still not quite used to the RBDN message system.

@tenmihara have you always been into voice acting or is this a new interest and if so what got you into such a thing?

@tenmihara you should also give thatonepony dude my audio clip or any new ones i make so i can get their opinion about it.

@thatonepony its a rough attempt and i can happily redo it when i get the time to do so.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 04:36:32 UTC from web -
@thatonepony I'll fish the link, 1 sec

@thatonepony lol thank you for the help. Voice acting is a new thing to me so any adviceand help is a good thing. I hope that i can help make this project pretty sweet.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 04:48:06 UTC from web -
@thatonepony In case he forgot to mention; he was trying for Lighthooves
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 04:52:51 UTC from web -
@thatonepony okie dokie lokie
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 04:53:43 UTC from web -
@thatonepony uploading my clip was the first time i have used drop box. is it that bad?
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 04:58:24 UTC from web -
@thatonepony listening now.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:03:40 UTC from web -
@thatonepony just finished listening to the advice and I comepletely get what you mean by trying to sound trusting. Tomorrow i'll do another, better version and try to take in what i have learned from this. Also, considering that lack of male characters in this story and my want to be a part of this project, do you have any pointers for attempting a female voice? or is that something i should forget about for my kind of voice?
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:09:08 UTC from web -
@thatonepony good idea. i'll keep to the male characters. Maybe i could do U-21, although he only gets what, 10 lines? unless thats got dibs on it.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:11:14 UTC from web -
@thatonepony Which would be me, as we discussed XD
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:13:22 UTC from web -
@thatonepony @tenmihara do either of you have any tips for someone like myself trying to train myself to have several voices. Something like that might help this project. Might also come in handy if i want to do impressions of people.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:45:57 UTC from web-
@redtie I honestly don't know how I could explain how I do it. I just kinda do it. It seems to work for me though; right @thatonepony ? XD

@thatonepony Okay sir, I'M READY.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:48:53 UTC from web -
@thatonepony alright thanks. is there more people working on this project? or is it just @tenmihara who is voicing stuff and @thatonepony who is editing stuff?
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:49:30 UTC from web-
@redtie I should stop calling him editor; he's really more of a critic, but that word has some unfortunate connotations XD Other than that, it's just me and you it looks like. Scorch does most of FoE himself; Atticus only voices Steelhooves
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:50:36 UTC from web-
@tenmihara steelhooves was my favorite character. shame he went that way... but i did love how he dished out justice in the memory orb flashbacks.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:51:47 UTC from web-
@redtie Pity about Zecora though

@tenmihara why is it that in a fandom that was first just for girls there doesn't seem to be alot of chicks in the MLP FIM fanbase?
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:54:13 UTC from web-
@redtie Reverse Sexism I think. People were willing to check the show out when word got around on the internet, but it's possible that girls who are used to the typically low quality of cartoons directed at them would be skeptical
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:55:43 UTC from web-
@tenmihara good point. I am fascinated by the change in demographic in the MLP fanbase because of this show (although to be fair I was never a fan before the show and knew nothing of MLP except that it exsisted)

@redtie I've heard that the term "brony" seems exclusively male. I've also heard that females stick to the MLP fandom at large, while males are more in the FiM fandom. But, heck, what do I know?
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:59:24 UTC from web-
@scribusthehomicidalmaniac I've heard the term Pegasister, but then again i kinda feel the term brony can apply to both sexes since its more like /b/rony.
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 06:02:10 UTC from web-
@redtie Yeah, I dunno. I'm from Southern California, so I use "dude" as a unisex term (and sometimes even call females "man") so my view is askew. :p
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 06:03:35 UTC from web-
@scribusthehomicidalmaniac i kind of do the same thing up here in vancouver.

@thatonepony drewdlekins
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:49:45 UTC from web -
@thatonepony You haven't really been clear on who you wanted to voice
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:53:23 UTC from web -
@thatonepony Let's see... I've got The main party, Deus, The Marauders, any and all minor characters (for the sake of ease), Watcher, DJ P0N-3 and @redtie is going for Lighthooves. That leaves Sanguine, the Male Zodiac agents... probably a few others
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:58:42 UTC from web-
@tenmihara has Sanguine even had a line yet? Does this character show up in any of the chapters out that I haven't read yet?
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 05:59:39 UTC from web-
@redtie Dunno; only just finish ch20

@ponydude2143 i did get my younger brother and his gf into it though. She ran up to me shouting "We have the thing at the Place!"
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 06:04:48 UTC from web -
@thatonepony But I wanna do Deus and DJ *pout* Shall I have to demonstrate my DJ voice as well?
Tuesday, 18-Oct-11 06:05:37 UTC from web -
@thatonepony I'm only saying this for the sake of simplicity. The more voices I do, the easier it is to do the project as a whole, as it will minimize splicing (which I don't even know how to do yet)
