[FANBASED] The Yotsuba&! Radioplay!

[Sasuya]

Alright, it's finally out! =D The Yotsuba&! Radioplay. If you don't know what Yotsuba&! is, you can read it here.

Yotsuba&! is centered on Yotsuba Koiwai, a five-year-old adopted girl who is energetic, cheerful, curious, odd, and quirky—so odd and quirky that even her own father calls her strange. She is also initially ignorant about many things a child her age would be expected to know, among them doorbells, escalators, air conditioners, and even playground swings. This naiveté is the premise of humorous stories where she learns about, and frequently misunderstands, everyday things.

This was my first time mixing a full radioplay. I have to say, that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and I quite enjoyed it ^^

Everyone the cast worked really hard on this so all comments and critiques are appreciated! Thank you =D

[crono04]

YYYYEEEESSSS!!!!! Its here, its here, its here!

Sachi's Yotsuba sounds childish, silly and amazed without sounding stupid. And cute as hell.
i need a better mic so bad...sha-a-a-a-ame.
Bal's Jumbo makes me not as angry to have not gotten both parts.
Fuuka sounds about like i thought.
i like Ena's voice. Its a little aloof when dealing with Yotsuba but not bitchy.
i...couldn't hear girls 1 and 2. Heh-heh...heh...
Asagi is soundin' pretty good. Mature but not an adult.

The play works great being listened to over the manga. Mixing was generally great (the music got a bit loud over one of the conversations with Yotsuba and Fuuka). The sounds were right on and that music is some brand of awesome i've not encountered before but hope to again.

A great performance by all but me of one of the silliest mangas i know, and a pleasure to listen to.

It was amazing~!<3 I adore Yotsuba so this radioplay was fantastic to feed my crave as I wait for the anime (hopefully..;_; ). Great job to the cast and the mixing was really well done! Do more!

[Sasuya]

Yes, I really do wish they would come out with an anime for Yotsuba ;_;
Thanks for both of your comments ^^

Here are my critiques for the cast =D

Yotsuba - Sachibelle :: Kyaa X3 I thought your voice was absolutely adorable for Yotsuba! You gave her so much energy and life, I really loved your performance!

Koiwai - crono04 :: You definitely pulled off the fatherly type of voice for him well without losing his personality. The way you did your lines really made me chuckle, I would have never thought of doing them that way until you tried it out. =D

Jumbo - Bal :: I really liked that you did the part for Jumbo. I thought that your voice for Jumbo fit him well. You really had a gruff sounding voice for him to match his character, but still pulled off a good playful attitude when interacting with Yotsuba. You had great emotion in all, and it was just great working with you =]

Fuuka - Sachibelle :: Thanks for dealing with my constant switching of the parts o_O And doing all those lines must have been tiring ^^; But, thanks so much! Your voice really fit Fuuka perfectly! You really gave lots of Fuuka and really brought the character justice =] You successfully brought the voice in my head for Fuuka alive =D

Ena - YingFaStar :: I thought your voice was so adorable as well ^^ It really fit Ena very well =D I don't really know what to say, I just thought you sounded so cute X3

Asagi - Scarlotte :: You definitely gave Asagi the voice that I was looking for. Someone that had a good mature voice but, you could still tell that she was young.You also give Asagi that playful personality =]

Extras - Sasuya :: Lol... I somehow managed to give the neighbor a slight British accent XD I don't know how that happened o_o

Wow, this radioplay was excellent and after listening to it, I'm definitely going to start reading the manga! Everyone's performances were excellent, and the mixing was absolutely superb! I wish I had time to give everyone individual separate critiques, but I'll stick to the basics until I have time:

Yotsuba/Sachibelle: Wow, your voice fits the character perfectly! You're so energetic and your voice genuinely sounds like you're a young girl without that sort of forced feeling that you get from some voice actors voicing younger characters. "HEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEEE! D=" was my favorite.

Koiwai/crono04: I have to agree that you do have a very fatherly voice without sounding like an old man. The only critique that I have is that your mic quality isn't the same as the other actors. Other than that, you're great!

Jumbo/Bal: Your voice was excellent, and I really like the way you played the character! An excellent interpretation of the character!

Fuuka/Sachibelle: What a great performance! The chase scene in particular was absolutely hilarious! The fact that I couldn't tell at all that you were playing two different characters that were in the same scene was excellent; you're super talented!

Ena/YingFaStar: Wow, your performance was great, I can't wait to hear more from you! Out of all of the characters, I think that your voice fit the best!

Asagi/Scarlotte: I wish I could've heard more of your voice in this one, because I adore it, but the lines that you did have were excellent. "I'll finish her off for you! >D" was the best line in the radioplay. =D

Extras/Sasuya: I wish I could've heard more of you, because you were great! Cast yourself in a bigger role next time! =D

[YingFaStar]

Been meaning to put my comments up on this XD (and half bump it >>!...) Although, I think I'm just gonna repeat what everyone else has already said.

Yotsuba/Fuuka - Sachibelle: Don't you love how you had to chase after yourself? XD... I think you're one of the few people I know of who can sucessfully pull off two different characters enteracting in the same scene. Your Yotsuba was ADORABLE, and your Fuuka sounded awesome too.

Koiwai - crono04: There were a couple of times it was hard to hear you. You'd start out a line alright, and as it went along you would get softer. Some annunciation would help too. Otherwise, your performance was really funny xD You play the role of a father well, and you portrayed his personality nicely.

Jumbo - Bal: No complaints Your performance was great!

Extras - Sasuya: WHOOOOO.

Asagi - Scarlotte: You only had a few lines at the end XD but it was still great =Db Though, I think you could've sounded slightly more comical while you were "beating up" Fuuka.

Mixing: The music got too loud at one point, but other than that, the mixing was really well done!
