Apparently Taeshi thinks i should try out as Sue or something. *shrugs*

DO IT BRIDGEY for us

Perfect timing. I desperately need lines from the remaining girls. XXD

But what I need even more is Jasmine's lines to kick start the audio recording - which comprises of half of the project - animating the whole thing can be done later.

So yeah I'm more than happy to hear what you can offer. I'll be online for the next 5 hours working on this.

Amen to that! I can feel the love coming. X3

And I can't believe how ignorant I was regarding Commie's reply very early on Page 01. I somehow missed out on the part: "I'll be doing all of the girls voices"... How the hell did I miss that one?? XXD

I'm going to beg her to do Daisy, apparent she's top notch for her voice from a comment I saw whilst browsing through the forums. And heck if she's got the energy I'll throw in Jasmine and Rachel too.... Actually... Just for kicks I should give Rachel a shot... Yeaaaah XX3 *SHOT*

Oh dear... what have i done? ... I guess i can give it a try. But i'm not sure how well i do. I'm only good at acting in song.....

Bridgeotto, on 26 May 2011 - 02:05 PM, said:

What?? You do performing arts/singing performances?? Geez that's more than enough skill to dish out a recording.

I don't know man, just go for your natural voice. = ) What I love about this project is being able to hear a diverse range of voices and if the voice sinks
in to what I've interpreted in the series than bang you would have nailed a spot. But then again under these desperate circumstances I'm more than happy
to take any volunteers!

Pass me the lines via darkspeeds@hotmail.com as an attachment if you can please. ^^

Heya Bridgeotto!

That was great! I had to listen to it three times to get it into my head.

Surprisingly I was expecting a more energetic voice but instead I got an elegant mature sounding voice! LOL!

And based on the accent I had a feeling you were Australian. I guess that as I listened to it more your voice fits for Sue.
I can see her in the position of taking the election seriously - your mature voice reflects this. The elegant tone adds a nice feminine touch to Sue's voice I had
in mind - well done. = )

I guess the next stage is for proper recording. Let me send this message first so that you get a heads up on the fact that you got her role. Brb with the next set
of instructions!

Kind regards,

Elson 'Darkspeeds' Wong

Elson..erm, not o sound rude or anything, but after the crit from last page, I was thinking, maybe putting David's voice up for somebody who's got that thing to act as light-hearted and constantly cheerful.

But that's just my opinion. ^^;

This post has been edited by Jshadow: 26 May 2011 - 04:11 PM

He Dark if I am going to audition for McCain, I'm not quite confident that McCain makes very often background sounds. He seems to be the more quiet type and will only make a sound when he speaks...

Jshadow, on 26 May 2011 - 04:09 PM, said:

Cheers for sharing your opinion. I'm still going to stick to doing David.

RedJack, on 26 May 2011 - 04:49 PM, said:

Well you'll be competing for a spot with Jshadow who's just above ya on this reply. In addition to that someone by the name of Arnas Baubkus is giving a shot too. Send it in, it won't hurt to try.

Yeah Arnas is my friend. And from now on my Rival ಠ_ರೃ

Btw Recordings made and sound alright not much background noises though.. (as in for the video)

RedJack, on 26 May 2011 - 05:27 PM, said:

You 2 both. =P

Well a decision has been made for the person to voice act as McCain. And that person is Jshadow. Honourable mentions go to Arnas Baubkus & RedJack for their participation. I really appreciate your input and unfortunately you won't be picked for the role this time.

I actually had fun listening to each of your auditions. I wasn't easy to pick the voice that I had envisioned for this series. = ) In this instance I thought that maybe it'd be cool to try a variant on McCain's voice by having it sound slightly foreign/latin. I don't know why but that's just what my gut tells me, McCain can sound unique this way and Jshadow managed to pull it off. On top of that his recording had the highest in clarity too.

Again thanks to the both of you for participating, I really appreciate your time and effort submitting your auditions. Nevertheless I got one thing to announce...


4 MORE CHARACTERS TO GO!!! Which of you girls are willing to take the spot? = )


[Available!] [VA Load = 30%]

[Available!] [VA Load = 30%]

[Available!] [VA Load = 15%]

[Available!] [VA Load = 5%]


I desperately need Jasmine's lines now since she's the one who starts off with Paulo, and the sooner I get Jasmine's earlier lines the earlier I can begin the audio recording/editing process for the first few pages.

My plan of action is to hopefully get Commie to voice act as Daisy and Jasmine. I'll try and see if I can get someone to help do Lucy and Rachel's lines at the same time.
Worse comes to worse I can fill in for Rachel and increase the pitch to make it sound a little more feminine... XXXD Ah well let's see how this goes. Oh and for encouragement Sue would like to say something:

WOHO! I'm IN!
Thanks a bunch, Elson-boy.^^

BTW, AWESOME remake of the Sue&McCain intro. =D
just...*grin* her pinky seems bit oversized X)

What I love most is the added shadowing

And well done Shadow. Grats on your pick.

Darkspeeds, on 26 May 2011 - 01:35 PM, said:

I could understand the whole last resort. But trust me, if I were to be Lucy. It would be because this is a parody where i would give her a funny accent. Maybe even manly like. And I'll think about doing it for ze giggle fits of fun-ness ;P

I tried to get Grass to direct his Lucy voice-actress to you because she's honestly the best one I've heard AND NOBODY IS BETTER.

Voice filters are interesting things... tweak it enough and I sound just like Jasmine, at least that's how I feel...
ANYWAY, if you can't get enough voice actors in time, I'd be glad to help in that respect

I would absolutely love to volunteer for Jasmine, i have a mic, and i have a lap top, and if the recording is not good enough on there, i have a friend who is a computer sciences student who built his own 2k computer and has an even better mic, so i know i have a place to get a good recording.

I've done plenty of acting, like dinner theaters and small performances, so i feel confident i can do it, i've also competed vocally (poetry readings, musical theater and just plain singing) at arts festivals.
and if you need me to play a second character, like a small part, like Rachels lines, i may be able to change things up and do that.

i am at work right now, but i will try to lay it down tonight, before i go away to my volunteering position.
I will be unavailable after that for feed back until tomorrow afternoon.

While I can't do any voices (no mic or anything! ;A;) how do you think you're covered on sound effects? I have a file of sound effects that were ripped from a game, so... ask if you're interested...? 8D;;

Besides that, I'm curious to see how this will play out.

Jshadow, on 26 May 2011 - 07:00 PM, said:

Jaka, get your lines in when you get the chance. Don't forget to anticipate any 'reactionary sounds' for McCain on each page. Cheers!

RedJack, on 26 May 2011 - 07:40 PM, said:

Thanks again RedJack for sending in your audition clip. It's been fun listening and comparing to all three of yas for a spot.

Kurokan, on 27 May 2011 - 06:34 AM, said:

Lol! XXD Well apparently under your comment is a response from Taeshilh herself suggesting someone from the BSCB community to voice role Lucy. I'm looking forward to her submission if she's up for it. ^^

Nevertheless send me a clip of what you'd think you'd sound like as Lucy, I'd love to hear it for kicks. XXD (darkspeeds@hotmail.com)

Taeshi, on 27 May 2011 - 07:00 AM, said:

You better get her to do it damnamit! XXD You suggestion for Sue was a good one. I'll be checking my inbox as soon as I get back home from work (which is in a few hours...). I'll be home by 6AM... I won't be sleeping till 12PM, I'm going to use those hours to dedicate to the project.

Dr Noyd, on 27 May 2011 - 07:34 AM, said:

No probs man, thanks for offering some assist to the project should things don't go according to plan in the voice acting department. ^_~

Tabris, on 27 May 2011 - 04:54 PM, said:

Awwwwww man! You've GOT to be joking. ;__; Why did your comment come in so late?! XXD I got an e-mail from the Voice Acting Alliance group, a girl picked up the thread I posted and sent me a sample already. The moment I heard it I got her in to play as Jasmine and Daisy.

We'll see how that goes, it still doesn't hurt to get some samples from you! I'd love to hear them (and thanks for helping out!)

Toffee, on 27 May 2011 - 05:36 PM, said:

Amazing, I was spending a couple of hours on YouTube watching Ranma 1/2 episodes to record SFX live from that series. I have a feeling those SFX will be useful for the project, after all there is a similar link to the genres portrayed in BSCB and Ranma 1/2. X3

So what kind of SFX do you have? Which game would that be? I've got a folder dedicated to sound effects - both downloaded and custom recorded. Just send it in anyway - it'll be a great help to recieve more samples Toffee!

This post has been edited by Darkspeeds: 27 May 2011 - 09:32 PM

i will definitely do that, makes me wish i went on the internet more, and had seen this earlier.
oh well, i will be happy to submit both Jasmine and Rachel anyways, thank you for still wanting to listen to them, that's very encouraging ^_^

Gosh, I totally wish I could help out. I loooove reading webcomics out loud, and this would be so much fun. But I don't have a quality mic. Or a PC. I really hope this works out though, I'm sure it'll be just as fun to watch as it is to read. So, good luck. ^^

Sorry but no. My english might screw the whole animation, lol

I got kicked in the nuts when trying to form part of the wall for defending a cornerkick at a pick-up soccer game today. They haven't quite descended back into position, so I could probably manage a Rachel.

Tabris, on 27 May 2011 - 07:37 PM, said:

No probs! That's what I love about making animated adaptations - listening to how fans portray characters to their favourite series! It's especially rewarding when the final product comes out well - it will be something that both myself and fans will be proud of. It'll be even cooler if the creators enjoyed the video! ^^

JoyBear, on 27 May 2011 - 08:18 PM, said:

Well your enthusiasm is a reflection of mine when it comes to reading out webcomics out loud - it is a lot of fun. = ) I learned a lot and had tremendous entertainmet making those DREAMKEEPERS video tributes/animated adaptations.

Nevertheless thanks for sharing your encouragement, we'll do our best to make this work. ^_~

Knux-the-Killer, on 27 May 2011 - 08:19 PM, said:

Lol! I got Jaka to do McCain, it'll add a foreign flavour to the characters accent which I'm lookng foward to portrating in the video.

Purin, on 27 May 2011 - 08:29 PM, said:

Oooo... Ouch. O.<;; Sorry to hear what happened but if that was part of a joke then you got me. XXXD



TO EVERYONE

Boy, there is something I've been finding quite a real challenge for this project so far... And that's the kind of BGM used for this chapter/series. I haven't animated something that is teen drama/romance orietated. It's been fun trying to think up of the right music for the right moments in the chapter... I've been thinking about it for days, even during my sleep!

I hope to get it right man... It's really a make or break situation sometimes because music can play a huge part in an animation. Though I'm anticipating quite a lot of silence in this chapter, I still have to coordinate the right tracks to fit in the mood or situation.

I wonder what you guys and gals think - what kind of music comes to play in your head when you're reading Bittersweet Candy Bowl? Maybe listening to some suggestions might give me some ideas/inspiration.

This post has been edited by Darkspeeds: 27 May 2011 - 09:46 PM

"3door cinema club" Is what I hear while reading BCB.

Darkspeeds, on 27 May 2011 - 07:23 PM, said:

Haha yea I saw that. Though I wouldn't doubt Grass's source is pretty good. I mean if Taeshi says that someone is the best at Lucy, seeing as she said once that she doesn't think that anyone could do a good Lucy. Then you better damn well know that person is a good Lucy.

Btw. Sent that thar thing to ya.

I just notced after sending it that there is in fact a lot a static in the background... Good thing I'm not really trying to get the part

I'd love to participate in this but it seems all the male places have been taken.
Well, from what I said, you can now see I'm not a female LOL (Don't ask why)
Well, I hope this project goes well and the voices are really good!
Good luck!!

This just in.

As I was walking to the carpark at my workplace when I finished my shift - looking forward to going home and working on the project, look what happened to the window wipers to my car?





Bloody drunken bastards... Or otherwise patrons pissed off at where I parked. I was late for work and parked my car by the kerb, everyone does it in late nights and in two years I never had a problem - until now.

Sorry to break the news but I'll have to give my car insurance a call and find out if this kind of incident is insured. Due to this I may have to delay the project but I'll still continue to work on it where possible, I ain't gonna let some shitty incident get in the way. Life's a bitch and it's about time I get some random shit happen to me for once... I live too happy of a life... So yeah thanks for the messages and for submitting your auditions! I'll have a listen when I'm done with the insurance thing - and getting both window wipers fixed. I probably wont' be able to drive the car till it's fixed cuz it'll be too dangerous to drive in rainy conditions. X_x;

This post has been edited by Darkspeeds: 27 May 2011 - 11:49 PM

Dude that sucks! At least the bastards didn't have enough sense to take the car keys sitting on the windshield after breaking off the wipers. Anyways, hopefully you have full-coverage, but even then you might have to pay a pricey deductible. Good luck, hopefully it works out.

Technically it wouldn't be as dangerous if it were the other window wiper as the one that is still working is on your side making you still able to see through your window.

Purin, on 28 May 2011 - 12:03 AM, said:

My excess will cost my $500 AUD, not worth it. I did a little research online and it's possible to get the window arm wiper to be replaced. I'll go to my Toyota service centre and get a quote from there. At least it should be half the price to get it fixed.

Oh those photos were taken at home. If those car keys were left at the car park lot (who the hell would do that?? XXD) god knows what will happen next - take my car for a joy ride? I wouldn't mind if they crashed and died, they deserve to - we got too many senseless drivers here and it's no surprise if they were drunk in the process.

RedJack, on 28 May 2011 - 12:05 AM, said:

Good point but surprisingly the window wiper that is still intact is bent upwards - making it not possible to wipe or touch the windscreen. It sucks but yeah I learn something new about my car at least...


Anyways since it's the weekends I'll have to call my Toyota service centre during the weekday. Therefore time to get back to the project... *listens to more auditions and edits the page artwork*


Also....

@ Kurokan - After listening to that clip twice... I was almost in tears laughing... XXXXXXXD Funniest shite ever (BSCB related). How did you adjust that last part? What filter did you use to sound like you sucked lots of helium? Or did you really suck some air/helium to do that voice towards the end? XXD

This post has been edited by Darkspeeds: 28 May 2011 - 01:37 AM

At least he didn't break the window.

Maybe Taeshi could do Lucy. She's her creator, after all.

Kurokan, on 28 May 2011 - 01:35 AM, said:

At least I didn't get smacked to the ground by those drunken jerks, who knows, they may be hiding and do a jump-in when I get to my car. Luckily that didn't happen.

TheX400096, on 28 May 2011 - 03:07 AM, said:

Believe my friend I tried, she will refuse to. I honestly believe I can somewhat convince her to voice role even one line with Suitcase in the BG crowd. Just one line will do, the fans will love it, this is a great way to pay tribute to creators since nobody has ever done something like this for them - yet.

Anyways I tried and hope that she'll accept later down the track. Maybe McCain can convince her...





Ooh! And to everyone else. I've been receiving LOADS of auditions and just minutes ago I got audition lines of Daisy & Jasmine from someone named Mippa. I was BLOWN AWAY from her auditions but I can't disregard the task yet since someone's already doing those lines for me (I'm waiting for her to send those files to me this week). *sigh* If only I've been more patient and waited a little longer. ;___;

Ah well, we'll see how it goes. ^^

Damn! Getting your car vandalized in the middle of the night, that's gotta suck big time.
I swear if I ever found out who did it to my car, I'd beat the $h1t out of him.
But than again, I don't own a car, since I don't go anywherefar often to begin with.

OH and do I have to do that ^--- voice of McCain as well?

This post has been edited by Jshadow: 28 May 2011 - 08:55 AM

Well there is a small strategy you could work with to deal with such things Dark. Just put a deadline on when you want voices. It doesn't have to be short and it cannot be long or else you will be flooded with auditions..

Darkspeeds, on 28 May 2011 - 12:55 AM, said:

Ok I don't know how i missed this. To put it simply. I used no filters and no helium. That's something I can do naturally. Though its mostly used just to say squishy as that's where I started using it in high school.

RedJack, on 28 May 2011 - 09:51 AM, said:

Thanks for pointing that out, I was just about to make the annoucnement.
I'm at work again so it'll be another 8 hours before I get home to continue with the process of editing the scens and listening to auditions.

I'll make a note about the closing of auditions at the VAA forums too. Thanks again!

Kurokan, on 28 May 2011 - 10:46 AM, said:

How interesting. It's just one of those hidden talents when you learn as a kid/teen. I had a good laugh, thanks for the entertainment nevertheless!



So far I've completed the first 4 pages of scenes. Man it's quite a massive task since I got another 14 more to go. X_X; It's been fun and I'm looking forward to the recording session when I get all the voices I need for the chapter.

So far the only person who was able to give me the complete set of lines is James (aka voice of Abbey). I got some extras from him too and I'm really pleased with his recording - top notch performance I say. *thumbs up*

This post has been edited by Darkspeeds: 28 May 2011 - 02:03 PM

Seeing there's recorded voices in this (congrats to the people who were picked), wouldn't it be better if there was music in it?

Darkspeeds, on 28 May 2011 - 02:01 PM, said:

Elson, I'm pretty sure I gave you a full recording of all McCain lines.

Jshadow, on 28 May 2011 - 04:17 PM, said:

I need you to re-record again. Do it the best you can and try to throw in some 'reactionary sounds' were you see fit for each page. The more content I have, the more content I can play with to give a convincing feel to each scene.

Sent. Hope it's good.

Hey, DarkSpeeds, what kind of toyota do you drive?
The interior kind of looks like a Corolla, and a recent one, judging from the "magnetic grey" exterior colour.

What i mean is, I drive a 2010 matrix, in that colour and i love it, but before that, i had a 2010 corolla in that colour, and i'm kind of hoping we're car budies
good luck with your car!

no

Tabris, on 28 May 2011 - 08:17 PM, said:

Lol! I'm not really into cars, since I only treat them as a tool to drive from A to B. But yeah I got a Toyota Corolla 2010 Hatchback model - Metallic Ash. I'm taking it to Auto Masters tomorrow to see what kind of quote I can get to get it all fixed up.

Taeshi, on 29 May 2011 - 08:45 AM, said:

Darn it! I won't give up till I get you to do some lines! For the fans man! For the fans! XXXXXXD



Also...

Bridgeotto's lines for Sue have been submitted and confirmed! Her recordings made my day, it was the funniest thing I've heard regarding auditions because it's just loaded with unanticipated moments and bloopers. It seems like you had some fun doing this! I really thoroughly enjoyed listening to her recordings of Sue - it went for 10 minutes! XXD I honestly feel that her voice fits in-character, it's what I've envisioned in my mind and I'm sure there will be fans out there who might think otherwise but who cares, each to their own you know?

So Briget, James and Jaka thank you so kindly for submitting in your lines for Sue, Abbey & McCain! You guys did an excellent job. I'm looking forward to implementing those lines into the animation - I'll make sure that your recordings was worth all the effort!


Right now I'm 20% complete with the project. It's a lot of work but I'm sure I can bring it up a notch by tomorrow morning! *Elson continues to work on the editing of scenes*

Oh and one last thing! I should consider the project to be 25% complete officially because I now know exactly what tracks to put into the animated adaptation! I can't wait to show it off, I won't tell you from what series but it's from hand-picked RPGs that I know and love.

This post has been edited by Darkspeeds: 29 May 2011 - 05:30 PM

Wowww~ 25% completion!!
I can't wait for the animation to come out! It's going to be brilliant!!
Good luck on the project as well!!

BonBonToro, on 31 May 2011 - 12:27 AM, said:

Yeah it's about 40% complete now! = ) We're almost through with PART 01 BonBonToro! X3

Anyways to everyone who have been following this idea:


I've just posted a 'behind-the-scenes' video for the production of this project so far! You guys and gals have been fantastic with your contributions in terms of voice auditions and recordings! Here's my way of saying thanks and also to give insight to everyone who will be watching the animated adaptation of Chapter 62: Feline Filibuster!


Click on the image below to watch the video!

Man, I love you!! (No, not in that private way LOL)
I watched the whole video with my face stuck to the screen.
Now I REALLY can't wait for it!!! You da man!! (okay, I don't normally talk like this)
I salute to you cool guy, also I noticed as well, you're asian too desu~
