[Damaru]

Very nice. Everyone showed their stuff in this clip, especially ElliotSkywalker; very strong emotions! Nice mixing too. :3

Good job.

[Akumaryu]

Haruna Neikawa/ElliottSkywalker: You did a nice job here. If I had to be honest, I would say that I didn't quite feel as creeped out by this performance as I was in the original scene. Had I not seen the original, I would still say this was lacking a little something. Usually when I see someone with glowing eyes wielding a knife and threatening people, and that someone is a high-school girl, I would expect something a little more... creepy. Overall, like I said, you did a good job. I just think that if you would have given it a bit more, it could have been amazing. Something to really crazy her up a bit. I mean, she's nuts. XD The "Impossible" was really good!

Takashi Nasujima/Apatheria: You're all gaspy and stuff! No real lines here, but it was nice that you had a presence. I felt that his huge freaked-out yell could have been done a bit bigger (I mean, the man's mouth opens to the size of his head XD), but overall, not too bad.

Anri Sonohara/Lightofhope18: Not too many complaints here. I think you could definitely have played this a little more truthfully, as from an acting standpoint it seemed a little disconnected. But roles like this are hard, so don't feel disappointed. You did some nice work here. Watch your diction at the end there, as there's a word or two I couldn't really make out. Otherwise, nice!

Mixing: Seems a bit swampy, even in the downloaded version. I think maybe the sound is too "thick" for being outside. This might have something to do with the quality of microphones being used by the actors, but overall, it sounds more like the conversation is taking place in a room instead of an empty alleyway. One other thing: at the beginning, Takashi's heavy breathing seemed just a tad too loud. Since the important part here was Haruna's monologue, I'd turn down his breathing a smidgeon so the audience can focus on her words. Oh, and be careful with lip-flaps.

Scripting: It was a little awkward here and there, but nothing too terrible. I liked it.

Overall: I give this project a 4.1 out of 5.0. Acting was nice, and I think just a bit more on the actor's parts could have driven this up. Quality overall could have been a bit better (in terms of sound effects, music, line levels, etc.), but I didn't feel it detracted from the scene very much as it was consistent.

Nice!! =D

[ElliottSkywalker]

Yeah, actually, I could have made her sound more creepy. Somewhere during watching the clip and trying to follow the script, I got confused as to where the words were supposed to go. When Haruna said "(something something) SPREADING THE LOVE..." I thought that was when it looked like she was yelling, so that was the only part I made sound like she was yelling. Mess up on my part. Also, I heard some lines peak. When I sent my lines in, they didn't peak at all. But in the project, every word peaked. I don't know if that was my doing or part of the mixing. I just got a new mic and recorded a bunch of stuff with it and no lines ever peaked, so I'm kind of wondering if I really did accidentally send them in a little peak-ish. But thanks for the critiques. I'll work on my skillz. lol.

Overall, I thought everyone did a really superb job. Except for the breathing at the beginning. It made me turn down the volume a little. It was pretty loud. Other than that, awesome clip.

[Sukisho]

@Aku: Being too "Thick" is probably soothing to do with the mics XD but I don't really know what else to do there, cause I'd rather not have some kind of filter on it, then it'd sound weird (to me anyway) since there's nothing like that originally.

Yeah I notice now that Apa's breathing was kind of loud near the beginning >_<

As for the lips...this was just a pain scripting with the way they talked in the scene.


@Elliott: Hmm that's odd, I don't hear any peaking.

[Kennidy]

I liked it. (:

I can't say anything else, because I think other people have pointed it out for me, but I really loved ElliottSkywalker as Haruna and lightofhope18 as Anri. No love for pedo!teacher, though.

Aw, thank you! <3 And I do agree. LightofHope18 made a fantastic Anri!

[Sukisho]

Bump for new clip

[Glastonberry]

Wow, I'm glad to see this out! It's really nice to start voicing Masaomi again. I'll be sure to give a critique when I'm done watching ~

Critique time!

Cruc1f1x21 - Mikado Ryuugamine: To be honest, I felt like your performance was decent at best. Whenever you were actually talking to Masaomi, the emotion was executed in a great way, though here and there the performance lacked enthusiasm, especially when Mikado is happy to see Masaomi. The big problem I had was while you were narrating. The line's deliveries felt awkward and at some parts was borderline flat. Though, there were moments I really liked your performance, especially from the middle to the end of the clip.

InstraClassic - Masaomi Kida: I was pleasantly surprised how it all sounded in the end. Whenever I recorded, I felt like I did a good job, but nothing quite like the satisfaction of hearing what it all sounded like coming together. Like MissAck told me on Skype, I agree that some of my lines should've expressed a little more zany personality, but altogether, I think I did a pretty damn good job and it was really fun to voice Kida once again.

Sukisho - Mixing/Scripting: On the side of mixing, for what little there was, to be honest, was actually rather pleasing. It was balanced in music and audio altogether. Though, I felt as if the sound of Celty's motorcycle zooming past the camera was a bit anticlimactic and some footsteps in the crowds sounding too loud, but those are just little quarrels. As for the scripting, I felt it was very natural and I really had no problems repeating my lines, though some lines felt like they tried to drag themselves on to fit the lip-flaps.

This was a great clip, and I certainly can't wait for more, if more will happen.

[cruc1f1x21]

Woohoo! I didn't do too bad despite taking numerous takes trying to pronounce half of the words correctly >.>

I still think Instra's voice is too deep for Kida, but his emotion comes off really well, so I might just have to accept it

The mixing was just lovely, couldn't have done too much better myself and besides that I don't really have any complaints. I don't really have much to say because I don't like commenting on most people's performances, because everyone has their own interpretation. That's just my philosophy anyway.

Great job =)
