[Ryusuke]

Wow, out already? Nice. I'll take a listen when I get back from school. Though, I'm not sure I'm too happy what I did here.

EDIT: Finished listening. Everyone (but me) did a pretty good job in their roles. Ryomasa's line was a bit hard to hear, but that's not really much of a problem. You (Refi-chan) did a good job narrating, and bringing your character to life. It's too early to comment on the story though, so I guess I'll give a full opinion of that as this goes on.

[Refi-chan]

Well Yay on getting this started...and in a timely manner too! Thank you actors for your punctuality to get this moving!

I tried out a little bit of music and sfx to see if it helps guide the mood/enhance the experience. (I also wanted less than half the credits with my name on them >.>')

I think Part C turned out louder than the others >.>''' that's what you get when you try to mix with a noisy furnace on I guess. I fixed the MAJOR problems it use to have (wouldn't you like to know?) so I hope the rest is still forgivable. I tried to get Kenzou (the mysterious man) to sound powerful/otherworldly, that's why his lines echoes a bit ^^

Yep, see what we can accomplish when deadlines are met? X3

I think everyone is their own hardest critic...but if you take that to learn for yourself and do better as you keep going, then there's nothing wrong with making mistakes here and there. (like me, I'm a bit self conscious on parts of the narration sounding choppy because I kept tripping on my tounge when recording...and perfect deliveries always had clicks so I couldn't use those XD-and then do I sound different enough as reading vs the character so people don't get confused? but both voices still need to sound natural-although Zeffy being a figment of imagination might be able to get away with not sounding natual, but I don't want her to annoy people's ears...too much...)

[mooglephish]

Woo! Quite a plot we got there, and you uploaded it so quickly! Nice work ^.^

[Refi-chan]

Ah, between lines getting in and play practice, we finally have world 2 up! ^.^
I do love the celtic-y music from FFCC ^^
*ahem* anyway, probably expect the next world near the end of May ^^
Anyone interested, there are still auditions for the Cinderella world, and dibs for later characters we'll meet along the way

[Seeshelle]

Great job on this!
World 2,
Thought there would be sfx, but I like the choice in music. I think it goes well with the story.

Thanks ^^
Well, there were a few *like 2* sound effects in the world...directly from the video games, for a bit of simple enhancement, as this is a "book on audio" vs a radio play ^^ (also why I keep in the 'he said' 'she said' so as not to confuse people following along lol)
Glad you're enjoying it still :3
