So after a million years, I finally released the 1st of 3 clips.;o; Oh boy. Please give critiques, the cast deserves a pat on the back just for the wait.>D;; Fixed SFX issues and I messed with some frames to fit in lip flaps (the really obvious ones...xD) and fixed volume lvls. Never again will I release something at 3AM in the morning.

[Hokage Titan]

Nice job everyone! *thumbs up* Even if I was asked to do the randoms last minute, I'm still glad to have helped a little. =P
There we a couple moments of low or higher volume levels but nothing too bad =P

[ichigo_m]

Tsukasa ~ LittleStar: WOW you make an adorable Tsukasa. I don't really have any complaints about this.

Konata ~ Konata: Konata's second line (the super fast one) was super fast, and that made it kinda hard to understand. A few of your other lines were also hard to understand, but it could just be mixing. Other than that Excellent as usuall.

Kagami ~ xSPADEofHEART: I really like the tone you Used for Kagami. A few lines seemed a little lound/blunt. (it's kinda hard to explain) but I really loved it~

Miyuki ~ Jaela: You've got those soft charaters down pat. That's was great~

Misao ~ Kage-Ichihashi: You've got the energy Misao needs, but I think the pitch could have beena bit high, really that's just a nitpick though XD Great job~

Ayano ~ xSPADEofHEART: One liner? Very cute none the less.

Extra Dudes ~ Hokage Titan and xSPADEofHEART: I love how in lucky star all the extra charaters are voiced by guys, you two kept that comidic point quite well.

Mixing: Your Swoosh effects in the beginning really caught me off guard.They were so much louder than the voices. Also Kagami's "it's just luck it's just luck" line was very loud among all the other noises. The first BGm sound was really loud. It almost made it hard to understand Misao, and I couldn't understand Konata's first line. Alot of your SFX cut off at the end as well, making it kinda choppy.

[Kage-Ichihashi]

Thanks, ichigo_m, for the comment. Since I've never actually watched Lucky Star, I wasn't too sure where to go with the voice for Misao. I had the clip to go off of, but it still wasn't enough for me to have a good idea of what to do for her. ^^; I recorded the lines in two different tones - one higher than the other, and this was the one Spade picked as a producer.

LittleStar as Tsukasa - Your performance of this character is just as adorable as anything else I've ever heard you in. X3 You did a fantastic job.

Konata as Konata - I felt you did a fantastic job here. My only complaint is something I've noticed from you quite a lot. While your performance is stunning, the louder you get, your audio blares and distorts the quality of your line. It's a mic issue, so you're probably unable to go about fixing it right now, but it's something to keep in mind. Otherwise, wonderful work here!

xSPADEofHEART as Kagami - I don't hear much from you, but you did a great job here! I might not watch Lucky Star, but I know the four main girls pretty well, like most people. I felt that you captured her personality very well! Nice work!

Jaela as Miyuki - I haven't heard from you in forever! Yet another fantastic performance! I really enjoyed it!

Myself as Misao - I can definitely see where I could use some improvement. Perhaps I should have gone with a higher pitch for her, like ichigo_m said. And I personally feel like I could have been a tad more energetic. I'll be keeping this in mind for anything else I do in the future.

Extras (including Ayano) - Awww~ You two were so cute! Great work!

Mixing - Well, it's already been pointed out, but you've got a lot to work on in the leveling department. Between BGM, SFX, and lines, the volumes variated quite a bit and distracted from the whole of the clip. Everything was paced really well - it was just the leveling issues that really bugged me.

Also, a few of the lip-flaps were a bit off. Konata's first line, for example, seems to start a bit late, and her other line "She sure has the potential" is too short for the animation, it would seem. Try to watch out for these things in the future. I'm going to take a guess and say that you didn't want to ask for redos because of how long this project was taking. Don't let that be the case, if it was. Your voice actors should be willing to get back to you to make the project as awesome as possible. :3

Otherwise, I really enjoyed being a part of this clip. Thank you so much for the opportunity! Awesome work, everyone!

BAAAH. ;_________; Old lines are super incredibly old. And everyone, I'm sooooo sorry for my horrible scripting. T_T;

LittleStar as Tsukasa - LittleStar, you were amazing. Your Tsukasa is so adorable. Emotion was spot on and your performance was very enjoyable.

Konata as Konata - OLD LINES ARE SO OLD. If I had every opprotunity, I would redo them. I lack emotion here, and like ichigo_m said, it was very hard to understand me on some lines. XD; Hopefully in the next few clips, I'd have improved... maybe? xD;

xSPADEofHEART as Kagami - DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO BELIEVE THIS WAS YOU? The last line, though, had me convinced. You captured her well. XD;

Jaela as Miyuki - Aah.... *_* I love your Miyuki a lot. There's not really much to say because she's a one-liner in this clip, but I thought it was amazing.

Kage-Ichihashi as Misao - You did a rather nice job; I just think you should be more energetic, because that's the character Misao is. <3

Hokage Titan and xSPADEofHEART as Extras and Ayano - Uwaa, great job, you two!

Mixing - FIRST OF ALL. THE MESSED UP LIP-FLAPS ARE NOT %100 PERCENT HER FAULT -- give me some credit too. XD; Uh... yeah. Basically, everyone pointed out what I wanted to say. XD;

Thanks so much for including me. It was really fun working with the cast.

(Ugh, and I know what you're talking about, Kage... I really don't know how to fix the peaking problem... even if I turn my microphone down, it still peaks... and I really don't wanna hide my emotion...)

[xSPADEofHEART]

lol sorry about all the mixing troubles. I mixed all the SFX such a long time ago and I swear it would have taken me another million years to remix them. Audio lvls are always my biggest problem.;_; -BASHES WMM- I promise the next 2 clips will be better! I need to go get Sony Vegas soon.Dx

Thanks for all the comments guys!<3

edit: waah I can't stand it.;_; I'll put up a version 2 when I'm done fixing some issues.

-BASHES WMM- I promise the next 2 clips will be better! I need to go get Sony Vegas soon.Dx

Thanks for all the comments guys!<3

I would help you get Vegas =P It might through downloading it and using keygen and all that though =X

Nya~! This version isn't that bad =P But if you put a version 2 it'll double the awesome. XD

[tomatocars]

First of all, was a dude voicing one of the girls? XDD

Anyway, overall this was a cute clip. However, for the majority of the time I could barely here any of the voices either due to the SFX or the BGM being too loud. One suggestion that might help is mixing while wearing headphones 8D It traps all the sound to your ears so you can have a better idea of what is too loud or too soft ^^

Keep these coming! The cast was great!

[xSPADEofHEART]

Arghhh!;_; Don't look at ver 1! I'm so embarrassed.

Version 2 up, hopefully sound problems are fixed this time.Dx

[Kage-Ichihashi]

Quite a bit better! :3 There are still a few SFX that are a smidge too loud, and I think you might have lowered the BGM a bit too much towards the end, but it's definitely much better than the first version. Nice work on sprucing it up!

Geh...but I wish I had done better with my lines... I sound so flat. T^T
