[FINAL EPISODE] Another Crazy World

[ProjectTrinity]

Oh look, another completed project and series. Whatever were the odds. c=

Episode I (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvNg_SVmxTk)
Episode II (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqispi8yvHE)
Episode III (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A52pov2yORU)
Episode IV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8JB6kvQduA&feature=youtu.be)

Another Crazy World is a prequel and side story to my rather dark novel "This Crazy World". Depending on how well this goes (either on Youtube or here on VAA), I'll be releasing more episodes (Though not with the same characters). The only premise you need to know for this episode is: THIS is why you don't mess with mothers.

Rated PG-13 for strong language and chances of triggering icky imagination. Also, orange peeling.

[Yineth]

Oh dear god... I better listen now.

[Listening]

[After Listening]

Deuuhhhhh... 0___0;;

I'm still creeped out by the end. While my voice needs some work on being "mom-ish", I am not going to underestimate the combination of your script and mixing!

[Still creeped.]

..I'm sorry, Cydonia xP

[Kauritsuo]

W.O.W!!!


This was CREEPY! I loveeeed it!! I hope to do something like this some day!

Yin: You gave me shivers~
Cyd: LOVED the actingggg!!

Mixing was lovely! definitely a great listen!

[Cydonia]

God I love freaking out. XD
I love this. You know that well enough already, Jonathan. You did a fantastic job with this, and it gave me a chance to use a different acting style which seems to be a hit with everyone who has heard it so far! So I thank you for giving me this opportunity, and it was very lovely to work with Yineth, considering that I have never worked with her before! She surprised me too. I think we both really complimented each other in this. Neither of us over powered each other acting wise. We were both solid which made this a fantastic listen. I still love it. <3

[Anime-Eye]

This was good, the only issue i seen with it is slight pronouncation errors (2:03-2:05 "those") and both of your
accents kept showing in random area's ex: 1:00 "what do you want with me!", 2:03-2:05
"Your really going to tell me that to my face" and 2:47-2:48 and 3:34-3:42. and a mixing issue during 3:47, its
lower then the rest of the clips. other then that everything was great, it really did give me the goosebumps!

[Yineth]

@Anime-Eye: I don't think technically have an accent, but thanks for thinking I do xD

More creepiness >: D

[And I was just trying to sound like a mom D: I'm sorry it sounded more like I had an accent!]

[ProjectTrinity]

ProjectTrinity: The only jerkwad that gives minimal information upon scouting and then fills in the (truer) difficulty upon accepting said scout. >D That said, I appreciate the fact you two accepted your roles and did such a fine job. It gave me the confidence to go ahead and release some of my more darker works onto VAA. The only time my scripting ability shines best. => I had some nitpicks about my mixing and directing abilities, but~ seeing that things came together oh so well for a first attempt, I won't beat myself over it. Now if you two will excuse me, I'm going to:

A) Try and distinguish the difference between ripping skin and peeling oranges. ' -'
B) Pretend Cyo's muffle sounds aren't creepy-pasta
C) Pretend that Yineth's singing isn't horribly twisted for the scene. Hey, she made the tune up, not me! I just do lyrics and sounds, guyz!


W.O.W!!!This was CREEPY! I loveeeed it!! I hope to do something like this some day!

Everyone on my Skype (who's interested) usually ends up doing something in due time. And the whacky Vindili family *does* have an elaborately twisted and expansive cast of characters~ :3 (Though if we were to bring Cyo into future installments, she'd have to be another person....for some reason....yeah. Some reason.)

Can I like... be a ghost or something? :B

[ProjectTrinity]

Can I like... be a ghost or something? :B

I already used that trick for The Perjurer. xD BUT, considering your natural voice, I could very easily fit you into the Vindili family somewhere. You can talk to Yineth again....on happier terms! 8D

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Okie. :3

[TriPredRavage]

I had the privelage of listening to this unsettling masterpiece yesterday and I was very impressed! The voice and delivery that Cydonia used is very different from her usual performance and was a real treat to listen to. I'm not overly familiar with Yineth's prior work (I think she was in the Shattered Heaven audioplay?), but I was very impressed by her here. I really felt that her portrayal of a mother who's lost it all was believable and enjoyable. ...or unenjoyable... depending on how you look at it, I guess! XD The mixing was quite solid. What I really liked about it was that it did well to add to the acting rather than function as a third element, if that makes sense. It wasn't something that really called attention to itself, but it didn't skimp in the areas that it needed to be there.

Over all, an enjoyable little short, a successful experiment. Well done, all!

[ProjectTrinity]

^ Yeah, Yineth was one of the characters in Shattered Heaven. =D And thank you very much! They were fun to work with and to listen to them be creepy-pasta. I thought adding the wind last-second was sort of gambly, but I'm glad it paid off. ="3

[QAN]

How very Saw-lite of you -_-

You get a B from good execution and minimal cheese.

Yineth sounded very motherly, especially at the end. Although I am going to have fun with you from now on about "(th)does". It's an inside joke you reminded me of. Thanks!

Cydonia did a good job of playing the 'write-off' character. You faded in and out of your accent, but it might have worked better if you kept it.

You both seemed to have way too much fun with the scenario. Creatively, this isn't a bad thing. Execution-wise, it keeps you from staying on-task to keep your audience hooked that this is 'reality'.

But enough of my musings... carry on...

[ProjectTrinity]

^ Ironically, I never watched the Saw movies for that very reason. 8D Thanks much for the feedback~ =D

[Yineth]

You both seemed to have way too much fun with the scenario.

>_>;;

Actually, I had a shitty challenging time recording for this project. 'Fun' wasn't really on my mind XD

[But it was still fun in the end? O_o]

[ProjectTrinity]

^ Shhh! You'll scare the other potential fresh bloods away! D<

A bump to get the critiques and/or comments from one of the hundred viewers... or the few who watched it over and over?

[XTREEMMAK]

I listened to this a couple days ago. I was actually listening to this while I was about to go to bed. Not a good idea lol. It came across well! You made me see the horror around the entire scene. Well done!

[ProjectTrinity]

^ Thanks a bunch! :"3

[AnimosityAsphyxiating]

Oh wow!:shock: that kinda scared the hell outta me a bit(considering I'm a huge chicken LoL) but it was really good! I think both VA's portrayed the characters really well, you guys did an awesome job:razz: And I look forward to watching--whoops hearing, more from this particular project:)

[ProjectTrinity]

^ Why thank you! We certainly did try. ='3

Massive bumping because The Perjurer is done! >D

[ProjectTrinity]

Final bump before I finally leave this thread alone until episode 2 =>

So if you have some lingering feedback that you haven't gotten to................please? =>

[11linda]

Ahh why not you are practically begging for feedback and I never gave you any. Listening to this is what got me to try out for your audition in the first place. It tied together really well and was full of life even though it was picture less. I happen to of enjoyed it better than a lot of the others I have listened too... Even ones that have had animation and/or pictures because it was more suspenseful and real (Though the others were more anime related so it makes since that this one would be more real). Anyway I enjoy the thought of something twisted and loved imagining it in my head play out (the nice thing about not having pictures to disappoint you) anyway those are my two cents, and I hope to be working with you in it and if not I still want to see more. I hope your novel does well as well!

Anyway that was just my two cents I am hope that helps xD

[ProjectTrinity]

Realistic scripting is certainly a developing skill I hope to master. >3 Because I suck at that whole anime-scripting thing

So thank you! I think it's awesome you became an active member here thanks to this episode. <3 XD

Well yes it is what got me on it xD. but actually I am a person that checks things all the time and the messages telling me there are new replies help as well xD

[ProjectTrinity]

Warning: Kind of gritty final episode. =d

Special thanks to Seymour, Crazyfangirl101, Annie, and River K for their assistance in this final episode.

Still sucks that every single visual artist for this flaked out. This is *not* going to make me view them any better.

[ProjectTrinity]

Bumped before bed. :'<

[Viridiane]

Hah, I honestly think this site is more for people who create their works than those that like to watch what others have created :P If you want more recognition, I think you should post them works on forums more consumption oriented than creation ones :)

And have a hug to your counter /hug.

[ProjectTrinity]

Thanks for the hug. :"3

I'll probably have to make some long journey to find said forums, but I totally will; you all did quite a bit of work and I'd like it recognized. :<

[ProjectTrinity]

Bumped again, though should probably give up at some point. x'D

[Adam]

Not really. This forum is a community based on voice acting and doing something with said voice. This is the place to get comments and such. It used to be a lot more active. Projects were completed more and people waited to see them released. The completed section is a mix of a place where voice actors can see the works they've participated in finished and for others to hear specific voice actors work as well as see which producers actually finish their works.

The VAA isn't simply just a place to create something, it's to share and learn.

Anyway I'll give you the full review when I'm out of work.

[Lightning Cross]

This isn't rated PG-13 its rated R. Your only allowed to say "fuck" once in something thats rated PG-13. If you say "fuck" more then once then it's rated R or higher.

[ProjectTrinity]

Bumping the thread!

Adam, what I think she meant is that people here, naturally, are interested in VAing -- namely, creating works that would require VAing, because people here usually are people who VA. While people who are interested in VAing are also interested in viewing, that's more of a tag-along interest rather than the main reason people would actually come here, which is to look for auditions for VAing opportunities and for VAs see what their VAs friends have been up to in terms of VAing. People do not come here mainly for viewing entertainment; they go to communities that have the topic of entertainment and shows of interest, rather than someplace like the VAA. The VAA is, by nature and definition, a forum made for creators.

Mmm, that's not actually a rule set in stone from what I've read; if your mentioning of this is questioning whether this project's appropriate for this forum or not, then as far as I can see it as a mod, it's perfectly acceptable, considering it does warn for strong language in the post. Technicalities as to exactly how many times it's used seem to me just that, technicalities. (It's not like it's used in like every other sentence)

100% what I meant :D

Also, I find those ratings pretty silly, tbh. I mean, there's a kid for whom the rating is made. So the kid can hear "fuck" once every clip they watch but they can't hear it, let's say, 3 times per clip? Because what will happen if those two more fucks happen? If the kid shouldn't hear swearing, then the kid shouldn't hear any swearing. The logic eludes me :P

[ProjectTrinity]

And now is the best time to bump. =>

You weren't here when this forum was extremely active. From 2006-2009. The point of this original section is for those who are a part of this community to see when a project is finished. People used to wait on things being released. Naturally since you guys weren't here for that you don't expect it and it's easy to pass off the forum's inactivity with the mindset of "The VAA is merely just for creators". It's supposed to be more than that. It's turned into a simple resource forum to talk about fandubs and such. Nothing wrong with that, but at the same time, if you're a community you should be paying attention to producers and what they put out. That's the way you learn about which producers are reliable, what kind of quality they put out and the same with voice actors. Tons of voice actors got scouted just because of the projects they were a part of. I'm not saying this forum is where you go to get unknown viewership, this is the place where your cast and those you know and are involved in the project should be posting. But 9/10 times that never happens. But the competed section is also to keep everything in order so that those who want to VA can look to find projects that may be interested in voicing in.

The point is that there's tons of projects here that should be listened to or watched. And a lot of them have links to main sites like youtube or newgrounds that host the actual content. The point of the VAA is to create a community that works together and is also a resource for creators. People come together and network and share, that is the point of this forum. It's not a black and white answer.

I, and the other person I was clarifying, were talking about what it is realistically, not what it should be ideally. i.e. You're preaching to the choir here. XP

[ProjectTrinity]

And now, reviews for the Audioplay! 8D

Or at least an awesome mix of both.

[Adam]

I know. I'm saying what it ideally should be is what the reality of the forum used to be. Which makes the transition to this much more frustrating. But that has to do with a lot of those who thought that way moving on to professional work and leaving the forum.

Yeah, it's a good audio play. That fits that required content. Seriously, I'll write out something thorough at some point
>

[rebelcheese]

I'm writing my review on a Word doc, and I'll copy/paste it sometime this weekend. It's been a ride.

[ProjectTrinity]

Keep on bumping on, yo!

[rebelcheese]

Well, this was a ride. SPOILERS being openly mentioned below, read at your own risk.

A bit shorter and less fantastical than your usual work, I like that you tried to do something different and a bit more grounded. However, the names of the characters are out of fantasyland in most cases which was a curious choice. You seem to be shooting for a more realistic veneer here but the names of the characters are decidedly uncommon at best and definitely out of sci-fi or fantasy lore at worst. It makes me wonder if this story truly does take place on Earth, which seems to be your intention but you don't openly say so in any of the characters' dialogue.

That aside, this story twisted and turned all over the place. I get a sense of a Fight Club or The Ruins, how one simple decision gradually unravels everything and there is always one wrong choice made by a character that makes the situation gradually spiral out of control more and more, setting up one heck of a closing scene. The closing scene also throws a sense of deception and that the situation could further worsen, as what you had hinted, it seemed that Barbra should have been the character shot by the sniper, not Xypher. It seems very likely that Christian lied to the sniper and ordered Xypher shot to inflict the biggest amount of emotional damage to the Vindili family. Of course, if I'm right, this will make character interactions in the novel very tense, and could set Barbra off a dangerous, death-wishing rampage . . . and probably make internal Vindili relations very stressed if it was supposed to be Barbra who was shot. It's a very interesting ending here and I wish there was more but I understand you leaving the answers for the actual novel and instead leaving us to guess the truth.

The voice acting in general was very good and more than got the job done. Even voice actors with smaller roles like River and Jin were professional and there is no quality dip from mains to extras like there often is in amateur audio productions. It really gives a sense of a complete whole, with no inconsistency. SageHalo was great as Huron, Kamuro's cheerful psychotic Xypher was a standout, and the casual madness of Barbra courtesy of Mippa was the most memorable of all the characters . . . besides the evil, smarmy Christian portrayed by Seymour. Christian seems to me like he could very well be the main villain of the novel, and may not be a simple contractor, but a character with designs of his own. It will be interesting to see how the story progresses from this point.

While I wish there was a bit more world-building (or heck, world establishment) this was an intense, noir-esque yarn about two psychotic families on a crash course with each other. Your little storytelling experiment then was a fun one and I hope to see you further experiment with genres and types of conflicts beyond what you've done here. I guess what nitpicks I do have are comparatively minor in the grand scheme of things, as the novel will undoubtedly answer all of the questions I have.

Hope there is a next time from you.

[ProjectTrinity]

Well look who's finally back from PT-vacation

^ Why thank you for the helpful review! As of now, setting up background information on the world is my greatest weakness as a writer. (Or I'm just absurdly lazy) Either ways, that's an unpardonable flaw that's a work in progress. To answer questions without ranting incessantly: It's literally an alternative Earth. It's called "Earth", but the events/history/characters are slightly different from our own. I do also have to be a jerk and say that the 4 completed novels I worked on for this universe do not take place directly or even near the events that take place in this audio series. The story's continuation won't resume until I eventually start on "Our Crazy World", which is the bridge between audioplay and novels. ...Didn't want you to pick up the novel thinking you'd see some more Christian anytime soon.

Overall, thank you muchly for taking the time giving us feedback! As you can tell, the thread's post rate when we aren't waving our veteran cane around is quite depressing. lol I'm not sure I'll be making any audioplays anytime soon (Thank you, VAA), but it's nice to know that someone found our work enjoyable. Very much appreciated. = )

[ProjectTrinity]

Bump - le' bump.
