Man Up! [Finished!]

[Andieluca]

The definition of a best friend is someone who you care and trust completely. No matter what, the best friend will stay at your side and support you. They will honestly tell you your flaws and make you a better person…When you’re down, they’ll come and stay by your side as long as you need.

But when your best friend is the opposite gender and you start having feelings towards them…what then? Would you tell them? And if they like someone else…what would you do? After all, you are…their best friend.

It’s an interesting question. It’s not uncommon, but people assume that for a boy and a girl to become best friends, they must have a relationship going on. Well…not always…

Man Up! is a short 3 episode radio play that centers around Chloe, a girl who happens to be a guy’s, Kevin, best friend. When a smart cute transfer student shows up, will this change their friendship?

the events in this story are purely fictional and any resemblances to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. XD

[TriPredRavage]

Wow... this radioplay is honestly like the radioplay adaptation of my college life... which only just ended two months ago! (with all genders swapped, that is...) ...kinda creepy...

Critique time!

Chloe: Sera Phia - I remember you putting up that video of you trying to record from this, lol. This was a really cool role to hear you play, Sera, for as many times as I've heard you play the "leading lady," I don't think I've ever heard you as the lead. So it was a crazy change of pace! I thought you nailed the part, I loved the crazy you delivered in the inner monologues. Excellent. Can't wait for more.

Kevin: JCTrance19 - Overall, good. Diction was good, you're well spoken, good good good. But, you need to put some more energy into your lines. Your character sounds either like he just doesn't care, or he's really tired, and I really thought it dragged down your performance. Kick it up a bit and you'll be great. I'm really looking forward to hearing what you pull off in the next part/chapters.

Gray: Notebookface - Ironic that the "super senior" has the username Notebookface... even though nobody really uses notebooks anymore, it's all about the laptop now... anyway! Very good performance. I liked your sarcastic delivery and thought you had a believable performance. Nice work.

Jessica: dragonknighttara - Good good good good good. No complaints. Gotta love the girl's best friend character. She's just there to say what we're all thinking anyway, lol. I look forward to any future appearances that your character may have!

Lydia: lightofhope18 - Good strong performance. Absolutely no complaints. If your character were a real person, she'd totally be somebody I would date. ...I don't know what that says about your performance, but good job! XD

Scott: ConVito - Another homerun, ConVito, even if it was just a few lines. Way to stick it, my friend!

Rick: Broly5 - "Taco Tuesdays!" That was hillarious. Very well done!

Jasmine: lightofhope18 - No complaints.

Professor: TheCheetoBandito - I always knew you were "easy." Now I have proof! Hate to say it, but you could have had a little bit more energy, too, my friend. I've had classes like that and the profs tend to have just a little bit more kick. Especially if the class is 3 hours long and it's the first day. You need to keep those kids awake! Otherwise, though, no complaints. Well done!

Everything Else: Andieluca - Lovely! Like I said, creeps me out a little bit because there are some HUGE parallels to my time in college going on here, but that doesn't detract from the quality of your production. I don't know how I'm going to get through listening to the whole thing because obviously we're gonna want whatever Chloe wants... but Lydia is my type of girl... so I don't know what I'm gonna want to happen in the end! @_@ Guess I'll just have to listen and decide along the way!

[dragonknighttara]

YES. So excited this is up :3

Chloe: Sera Phia - Your narrations sounded really natural and you really kept the pacing of this first part going strong. You've got the awkward nice girl tone down beautifully and you really fit this character well. There were a few times I think I caught a few minor delivery or enunciation errors that I think might have been subject to the take, but that's getting nitpicky. Nice freakouts though! They really built up well and you make for a lovely female lead =D

Kevin: JCTrance19 - I thought your "I didn't think you were an English major" randomly had a weird delivery on it, but over all you had a really consistent performance here. For most part this was very natural, if not a tad low key, but it worked for the character. Towards the end once you started talking to Lydia, you sounded especially good, so I"m sure you'll grow into this more as the story progresses. Nice work!

Gray: Notebookface - I've never heard you in anything I can recall, but I really liked what I've heard of you so far here. Once or twice it seemed kind of like you slid into a bit of an odd voice, but there were some really cool and very natural deliveries from you that I really enjoyed. Definitely looking forward to your scenes coming up!

Jessica: dragonknighttara - Yay self critique! Actually, I'm really happy listening back so far. Jessica was a blast to play and I'm glad to hear her in action =D

Lydia/Jasmine: lightofhope18 - Oh my gosh, you sound like me! Engineers FTW! ... sort of. Seriously though, I'm getting flashbacks to the Tech
college already. I think like JC you were just a tad low key vocally, but you had a great tone for this character and I think you nailed where she's coming from well. I really enjoyed listening to you here - definitely want to hear more!

Scott: ConVito - Love the energy here a lot. I hope you pop up more in future =D

Rick: Broly5 - Nice voice, but I did notice your mic quality was a bit off compared to everyone else. I did enjoy your energy though, so thank you for helping to provide interesting extras!

Professor: TheCheetoBandito - You sound very imperious so far. I think you could make your deliveries flow a tad bit more naturally, but you've really got the deeper mature tone down well. Keep up the good work!

Mixing/Writing: - This turned out SO well. Seriously, I'm so excited to be in this. Your leveling for all the characters sounded strong (though I was listening with speakers and not with headphones). The only weird thing I noticed was sometimes there were some weird rushing/shifting noises and I couldn't tell if it was characters moving/sitting down or a transition between Chloe's thoughts and actual events. Since it wasn't always consistent or very clear, it was difficult to make out and probably not necessary. Again, that's pretty nitpicky though. Oh! And I loved your music selections too - very well placed!

Writing was also really natural and a lot of fun. Nothing struck me as clunky, so I'm really impressed with this. Really really awesome - this is a great production and I want more please!

Well one day, I was pondering on another project, so I secretly stalked you? XD I’m kidding. Thank you for the comments/critiques!

Yay! ^^ Thank you so much! Yeah, I think I’m going to take out those whooshes…I got a bit irritated of them because of their lack of consistency. Haha. Thank you!

[Notebookface]

I was looking forward to hearing this for quite a while. Imagine the "OOooOOooh!" look on my face when I got the link in my e-mail today.

A note before we continue; I am actually a 24-year old super-senior, and I'm pretty much Gray incarnate. Except, even less of a ladies' man. And I'm allergic to parties. Don't be hatin'.

A commendable performance by everyone! Sera Phia's narration freak-outs had me lol'ing pretty hard.

There was some top-notch production work going on here, Andieluca, and I'm quite impressed. I'm gonna' have to buckle down and take the gloves off (and hide my copy of Dragon Quest IX) when I go to produce my own radio play. Excellent choice of music for the Chloe narration bits, I might add.

I can't wait until next week to hear Part B!





good gravy, do i really sound like that?

[McTricky]

Oooh, I like! I like this a lot! It was pretty entertaining and I got a few giggles and laughs out of it. The cast did exceptionally well, and the mic qualities and levels were pretty consistent.

Good job, Andie~

[lightofhope18]

If your character were a real person, she'd totally be somebody I would date. ...I don't know what that says about your performance, but good job! XD

...A-Are you hitting on me? XD

I must say, I really enjoyed listening to this first part. The characterization was dead-on to college life (Andie, I think you've been stalking me or something 'cause Lydia is basically me in a nutshell, except for her major -- ug.) Sera Phia made an awesome lead and I loved Tara's dreamy interpretation of the BFF role. JCTrance19 sounded a little bland at parts, but he started to light up a bit when talking to Lydia and I loved Notebookface's Gray -- Super Senior indeed.

I thought the mixing was well done and I liked the swooshes and whooshes for transitions. It helped me keep everything in order and whatnot. I cannot wait for the next part~!

Lydia!

I'm on to your takeover scheme, still!

You all did a pretty spot-on job! A few chuckles here and there to keep up the interest. And it is pretty amusing hearing Sera make emphasis on how Chloe has absolutely positively without fail, no feelings. So she says

[TriPredRavage]

Andie, I'm curious. Man Up! is going to be three episodes. Is part A the complete episode 1?

...A-Are you hitting on me? XD

...(Andie, I think you've been stalking me or something 'cause Lydia is basically me in a nutshell, except for her major -- ug.)...

Well, I wasn't hitting on you, but if what you say is true.... How you doin'?[/Joey from Friends] o.O

(Kidding kidding kidding, I swear!!)

Whatever are you talking about? >:3

(Kidding kidding kidding, I swear!!)

Haha, I was joking as well. :D I was wondering how you would react to that. ;D I'm pretty sure part A is the finished segment of scene 1 if I remember the scripting process correctly.
