Bwahaha. I finished it. This was for a school project, actually... ^^;; Meh. But I actually like how it turned out.

Yeah, it's geocities, and it sucks. Sorry. ARGH! Why won't it work!! Someone help me!!!! EDIT: I don't know how I did it, but it should work, now... Right click, save as for Windows, ctrl+click or click and hold for MAC.

Other stuff:

Nanaka: Kaylene
Rika: Hakushina
Yumihiko: MissCar (Heh, you were it afterall!)
Reichi: Blue, my hero.
Waitress: MissCar

BGM: Es Dur no Piano-sen (by Yoshiki, played and mixed by me, hideko)

Yah.... I know there are some things wrong with it, but hey, for a first time doing a radioplay, I think it turned out well. :p C&C still appreciated.

I desperately want to download this, but the link doesn't work! :(

[hideko_dahlia]

Argh!! *runs off to fix*

EDIT I think it's fixed.

OK, the acting is great, and the mixing for the most part is great too, but it became hard to hear many of the characters over your music and SFX, and some characters were louder than others.

All in all, I think its good, but there's room for improvement where mixing is concerned.

[Sukisho]

That was nicely done but there was one person that kinda sounded lower then the rest. Other then that I liked it.

[Aeris_angel_21]

I always thought Polaris had a high voice, but I like the voice you chose. I like it. :grin:

[hideko_dahlia]

Eh. She just looked to me like she would have a lower voice. She didn't seem the uber-girly anime type. (I mean, a gothic-lolita sounding like a squeaky toy?! I think not!)

[Haushinka]

You did a good job mixing this! I'm happy that I could be part of the cast.

ps why was my character louder than the others? O_o

[Velvy]

Great excerpt! Aside from Polaris being a bit too low, I also found her voice to be too unemotional, almost monotone. I think it would've worked better if she was a bit more passionate and coniving when she talked of blowing up the school. She never struck me as the one to talk all dry, stale and monotone. Maybe in her school uniform, but she was more shy and timid than dry and monotone. But regular Polaris does have a bit more vocal variety in her voice I would imagine. Rika, Mr. Money, and Jangalian all had extremely fitting voices.

X-Day is my favorite manga, so it's very rewarding to hear it having been mixed. I'd like to hear more of it! If you work on tweaking those areas, mainly balancing out the volume of the voices.

Oh! And the BGM, WELL CHOSEN! ^_^

[Haushinka]

Rika, Mr. Money, and Jangalian all had extremely fitting voices.

Thank you :love:

[Margo]

Whoa, I love X-Day, lol...

I did not really think the voices matched the characters all that much, buuuut...ignore that, heehee, I'm dumb -.- Don't get me wrong, o_O I really thought it was good, just....arrrgghh.. I'm not meaning to sound mean or anything @_@ It was good!!! Just...it was good @_@ Okay, I'll shut up now.

[hideko_dahlia]

Oo;; Comments. Whoa. Anywho.

Like I said-- it was my first time mixing with that program. >.> And this was the only part of X-Day that I had read at that point. So if the voices didn't fit the characters-- it is completely my fault. I just went with how I thought the characters would sound based on what I had in the excerpt.

It was a school project thingy- so yeah. I did get an A on it, though. <3 you guys for it, too.

Aaah!! No!!! I didn't mean you did a bad job choosing them. They had cool voices. I just imagine things really differently than other people ^^; It's fine. Sorry.

[Jing]

I liked this.

[hideko_dahlia]

Thanks. ^^

Margo-- Oh! I didn't take it that way, honest. I was just explaining why the voices were the way they were, because some other people had been talking about it earlier, too. ^^; No need to apologise.

[Autumn]

Tsk tsk. Why am I just getting around to listening to this? And WHY didn't I audition? Shame on me. xD

Anywhoo... I've never heard of X-Day. What is it? Well, anywho, I liked it, but didn't understand it. xD I didn't like how it seemed that Car's and Kaylene's mics were a bit lower than everyone else's. It was distracting and confusing. o.O Wow, that sounded harsh. Sorry! ^__^;
