Nightmare Rising Voice Acting Info and Tryouts

[haruka]

~Tryouts will come later.

~IMPORTANT: We need everyone's characters' information up ASAP so we can start working on a script and then the storyboard.

1. Complete your character's bio, reference images, the meme, etc.
2. Describe your character's voice, appearance, and personality in this thread. We will then design a list of example lines each character would say, such as "Metamorphosis" or "Watch out!" or "Ribbon ___". [Of course there will also be the option of improvising lines during the tryout.]
3. Tryouts will open after we have all major characters' info in.
4. Tryouts for minor characters will open after the major characters' roles have been decided.
5. Script~
6. Storyboard~
7. Animation~
8. Voicing~
9. Music and sound effects~
10. Credits....and the episode is done!

Unfortunately, we are still stuck at task #1. We are missing info from everyone, including me. >.> Thank you to those of you who have submitted character info so far! It really is a big help. ^^ (Also the info helps me decide what type of songs to mix for each character.)

If there's anything I've forgotten to mention, mention it! XD Of course, the other thing would be YOUR personal info for the website credits page, but like I've said before, I'm not too concerned about getting that in until the first episode is out (or almost out), because a lot of the fields the form requires are currently not applicable (such as the seiyuu section, because we haven't held tryouts yet!). Anyway, I know everyone's busy with other things, and I'm sorry if I'm being pushy, but please try to get your info in ASAP! Thank you very, very, very much!!! >w<

I don't see anything missing at this point we just need all characters finalized....but we do need to come up with the minor characters for sure....I don't think we actually ave any as of right now....


EDIT// Also I don't know how to record my voice on my computer....need to look into how to do that....^^;

EDIT 2// I do now

[haruka]

Ehehe... I have several. >.>

You don't? Do you have a microphone or a built-in audio receiver/mic?

[ღ†Aokii†ღ]

oh...hm...^-^...are they written up somewhere? Did I miss that day? *giggles awkwardly* me wanna know!!!!!!! *looks at you egarly*

Hm, it might be build it...I don't know I should go look hu?

[haruka]

I made mention of Sumomo and Mizukira's friends and family in the other threads...

Yep, I guess you should! XD What type of computer do you have? Is it a PC, Mac, ...? I have a built-in mic on my Mac laptop as well as built-in speakers... I use my Rosetta Stone headphone/mic set for recording and playing back audio on my Windows XP desktop PC. It records unbelievably clearly, but the audio becomes quiet when exported as a .wma file. :/ It's quite loud in Windows Movie Maker, though, which is nice for mixing purposes. XD

[ღ†Aokii†ღ]

my voice on movie maker = HIDEOUS!!! There has to be a way to touch up a voice...;~; I sound like an old witch....

[haruka]

Oh no! What microphone are you using?

[ღ†Aokii†ღ]

The build in one on my computer...it's AWFUL! and there's so much noise! *runs around*

[haruka]

Oh my! Well, for one thing, don't get too close to it or it picks up your breathing...but don't get too far away or it won't pick you up at all. If there's any way to eliminate background noise, try to do that. If you've still got messed up noise, check your microphone settings. (Also, handheld computer microphones have to be tilted away from your mouth. If you speak into it like you would a regular microphone, you get all sorts of unwanted extra noise... )

[ღ†Aokii†ღ]

kk I'll try that out! I made sure not to be to close...but I should check the settings for sure! ...If I can find them XDDD Yea I'm use to a Mac mic not a PC mic! PC's are so temperamental it's almost intolerable! Xp

[haruka]

Maybe you can send me a screenshot or something and I'll see if I can help you out with that. Yes, I totally understand about the PC vs Mac....... As far as touching-up a voice goes...I only know of Garageband as the solution to that...but I do have some links and other info that will be of great use. HOWEVER, I'm not going to post it until we have all of our characters in!! So come on, everyone, let's get our charries finished!!

[ღ†Aokii†ღ]

Actually it's with the volume controls...in that folder thing...man Vista is a pain in the butt XDDD AH HA Haruka-tan is holding out XDD *pounce snuggle* alrighty then lets hound everyone for info -including me Xp-

[haruka]

Oh......it's a Vista. That explains EVERYTHING. XD; But yes...the volume controls...oy vey. You can just play with them until they work, I guess. XD
Yes! I am holding out on everyone! >:3 Bwahaha...I am working on my characters right now~ ^^ *is pounced*

^.^ If you have a PC, download Audicity. Its a really nice voice editing program that really helps it sound professional(used in graphics last year) >o< I use the mike that came with Rosette Stone..... And I got the newest version of Garage Band ('09) with my computer, and so far its given everything I've recorded with my voice a very professional sound (even with the computer's built in mike)
*needs to work on her own charris badly.....* ^.^ Just ask if you need anything Haru/Ooka-chans!!!!

[haruka]

Audacity -> audacity.sourceforge.net/about/screenshots
Hmm...maybe I should try to use my Rosetta Stone mic with my Mac...that way I wouldn't have to worry about the playback audio while recording (for songs at least). Maybe. owo

Here's the stuff I/we still need from everyone: tmmpowerrpg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=mewmewdiscussion&action=display&thread=116&page=17
And the form for the characters' info: tmmpowerrpg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=mewmewdiscussion&action=display&thread=116&page=19
Look through all the NR threads to make sure you've got all the forms/memes/examples/etc. Thank you!!!!!!!!
