Xenosaga II: Rubedo & Sakura

[Damaru]

The first fandub I put together myself EVER! And it has such bad quality! XD This is a scene from Xenosaga II that I always thought was very sweet, so I voiced all the characters in the scene. The characters in this clip are Rubedo (Jr.), Juli, and Sakura. Very, very sorry for all the pops and fuzzes, and horrible video quality... I need to get some new programs and a pop filter ASAP. >_>

Anyway, please comment and critique!! I still have a lot to improve on in all areas, like mixing and voicing, so any feedback would be appreciated!

Wow you have a very nice voice. You fit all the characters extremely well, I'm impressed!

The audio quality was a bit meh with all the static but all you need is some noise removal for that (download audacity woo).

Julia's delivery was pretty good but not all of her words came out very clearly it felt like she was either trying to force an accent or her words would just kind of die out before she ended saying them. Try to make sure when your speaking that the words come out clear and flow well like you did with Sakura and Jr.

Sakura was really good. She had a calm and caring voice like she had in the original. Only some of her lines came out flat like "your a wonderful boy" could've been full of a bit more caring. Still a great job.

Jr. only had a few hiccups. Basically some of the lines were read a little uncomfortably but also for the most part it was fine. Just a little more emotion on a few of them and you'll probably be the perfect Jr.!

Anyway I really enjoyed your take on this scene. With a bit more practice (and extra software like you said) you'll be great.

Looking forward to more from you!

Wow, thank you so much for the critique! Doing a woman's voice is actually really difficult for me, and Juli came out kind of weird. XP Jr. too, so I need to work more on those.

I'll be sure to take those tips into account! :3

I am quite surprised at the range you have between Juli to Jr. and then Sakura. It's quite an impressive feat to get all three voices spot on.

Now, there were some times where the puffs hit the mic, but oh well, it happens. Personally, I love this fandub.

Juli's voice was very soothing, and the delivery made it feel as if I was watching the cutscene all over again. Makes me want to play Xenosaga II for the fourth time.

Sakura's voice was adorable, and caring, as someone has said before. Yet, there were some lines were tone needed some work. More sincerity in some of those lines.

Jr., of course, is my favorite character of all Xenosaga. And hearing you speak as him, was amazing because it reminded me of Mona Marshall exactly! That tomboy voice that doesn't exactly sound female at first, but then you realize it when you get used to it.

Not saying that's a bad thing, I find it rather awesome!

Great fandub, indeed!

Oh, thank you so much for the critique~! ^-^

I'll try to put more emotion into my voices. Jr. was difficult to do indeed, but he's good practice--I need to do more little boys... I mean their voices... not them... XP

By the way, Jr. was actually voiced by Brianne Siddall, although Mona Marshall is cast as little boys often too.
