Envisage Productions~(Fairuza & Klaymen1):FFXIII Clips

[fairuza]

Hello everybodys. I've been anticipating with making a few Final Fantasy XIII clips and after watching VoiceActingNinja's clips,I think that really inspired me to want to make a few clips of my own with Lightning and Sazh.I also figured,while I wait for my Black Lagoon project to get underway soon,I decided to get back into mixing again and this was the perfect practice test. I'll have to admit that making these clips was a very huge challenge but very worthwhile in the long run. I'd like to thank all of the actors for their cooperation and for lending out their great voices for these clips. Much love to you all!

Hope you all enjoy. Feel free to leave any feedback! Critiques and comments are always great!

P.s: I'd like to give out a big thank you to VoiceActingNinja for helping me out with his great advice and tips as well as to Klay for also
being a big help in helping me mix this baby down and for being a great and supportive ear of awesome advice!<3

Nice to hear another interpretation!

The scripting sounds familiar though...
Hmmmm...

Klaymen1: You need to tone down the "token-ness" a little bit. It's Sazh, not Barry White. And take the characters' situation into account... if Lightning and Sazh just got their train car knocked off track and a giant robot scorpion tail nearly punctured through their heads, Sazh isn't going to be CALM about it! Remember, throughout a lot of the trailer, he's comic relief and a worrywart.

Fairuza: Nice vocal choice for Lightning, even though she doesn't talk much (sucks, doesn't it). Only quibble I have: put some more "umph" into those non-verbal fighting SFX. It really sells the scene!

Overall, great effort and (hopefully) another step toward mastering the voices you already own! Good work!

Thank you very much,Lucas.
Yeah...I kinda took your script. My apologies. I hope you don't mind. I told myself I wouldn't after I did a full search of a script for this online but,I broke my promise there.XD; I really appreciate your critique for both characters. I thought your advice was very insightful. I will agree with you that that my non fighting noises might've been more solid with more emotion behind them. Thank you again,I would love to thank you for helping me out with your mixing tips and words of advice.^^
I'm very glad you enjoyed this!

I assume you can still remember what I said over Skype. Varying the volumes on the grunts so it doesn't sound like she's jumping on the spot if I were to close my eyes.

I enjoyed this, and I showed my friend today, and he thought it was awesome. Great work, here.

I do recall your advice on the varying volumes on the jumping clip. I attempted to try and lower the volume for Lightning's grunts but instead,as I was doing so the volume for the rest of the clip went a bit low in volume making the bgm very quiet. I guess I should've took more time with that part before I finalized.^^;

But I'd love to thank you as well for commenting on this. I'm glad you and your friend liked this!

Beautiful job! *hug* The mixing was great. I really love your voice for Lightning. Just perfect. I NEED to do a clip with you. It's been so long T^T

[fairuza]

Aww,thank you muchly,li'l sis!<33
I agree,we MUST do a clip together very soon. It would be truly outrageous!

[Y. Chang]

Oh my gosh, this looks so cool! I only wish it was a more dialogue heavy clip so I could hear more of fairuza...do more!

[fairuza]

I agree,I wish there was more dialogue between these two.^^
We're thinking of doing a FFXIII Versus clip fairly soonish!

This sounds like a backhanded compliment more than anything else. I would like to know what is "token-ness" about my performance as all I did was use Tadanobu Asano's inflections with a Louisianian accent (go rent Tokyo Zombie.) I also tried to match the grunts and folly of the original vo so that after a long battle my character was in, it would sound painful for him to stand up. I think I did a decent job with the comedic portions as well, unless you were expecting Steve Urkel. We cant all be high pitched and nasally. Be more constructive with your critics in the future as this one just sounded bitter.
