Very nice! I greatly enjoyed everyone's performance. I especially liked Seymour's performance; you should do these types of roles more often. :3 And Actorman was so awesomely evil and sophisticated here! Squeee~! X3 I quite enjoyed this, good job gathering a great cast and putting this together, Bree!

[Seymour]

My god...that was..amazing. And everyone was damn right perfect for their roles, my personal faves out of the pack were Actorman, TriPredRavage, and Erica as Ken, dead-on accurate.
Bree you put together an amazing cast, and I really hope you continue on with Persona clips, whether Shinjiro will be in them or not, I know I will keep on watching

[hyperknees91]

Bahhh persona 3, another game that it's so hard to be not too biased about...but I'll do my best!

Fuuka- Nice and soft, I think you played her character quite well. It might be a bit too mature for her but overall I think you did well.

Junpei- I see where you were going sorta, like the voice seems around the right age and such. But really I think you acted him out a bit too much like a cool guy, Junpei is not very subtle about his emotions and always expresses himself with alot of life to it. You came off chill which was good, but really he's gotta have alot of energy to his character otherwise he just comes out dull.

Aigis- Really good shudo, very nice robotic delivery and the tone was very good. You're voice isn't very deep for Aigis but it still worked well.

Yukari- I think you were going in the right direction with your deliveries, the energy was good and the power was good. But really I found the tone a bit off, she was a bit too soft and her voice was a bit too thin (which makes her sound childish). Basically she just needs to sound a bit more mature and outgoing, here you sounded a bit too much like a pure girl (which she really isn't).

Akihiko- Not many lines but they seemed to be delivered well, voice was a bit overly breathy though which made him sound a little silly. Still I'm sure you could play akihiko with a very nice tone from the sound of it.

Mitsuru- Very cool, mature and smooth just like she needs to be. I do think at times you might have kept you're tone a bit more consistent then you needed to be (mainly when she comes to a realization), but really you had the right thing going all the way around. Very nice job.

Ken- Omfg you have the best boy voice ever. I really liked your delivery for the most part, very natural and realistic. Still your louder lines lacked force and power, I think especially when yelling at shinjiro you needed to be more in his face about it, just seemed a bit too weak hearted. Though I still thought you fit your character best of all here so very nice for matching the right tone and voice all around.

Shinjiro- Cool beans you did marvelous here seymour. Right tone right voice everything was good. I do feel like a bit of your first few lines were a bit too straightforward for the character but really you did a great job, really enjoyed your performance and it's something to be proud of.

Takaya- Awesome voice and great tone. Really actorman you made this guy creepy and it really worked here, definitely a character that puts fear into others. Still there was one thing, I think you delivered your lines in a rather slowish fashion for the most part, which was great on alot of lines but when you do it on most he seemed a bit static and could grow to be a bit dull. I think what would've really helped is just a making a few more of his lines delivered a bit more smooth rather than creepy. But thats minor and probably just me being stupid, really really great job~

[TriPredRavage]

Junpei- I see where you were going sorta, like the voice seems around the right age and such. But really I think you acted him out a bit too much like a cool guy, Junpei is not very subtle about his emotions and always expresses himself with alot of life to it. You came off chill which was good, but really he's gotta have alot of energy to his character otherwise he just comes out dull.

Well, I appologize that you found my performance dull, but to be honest, I accomplished what I set out for, which I don't think you know what that was. In this entire clip, I have six lines. I don't play Persona, and I don't think I ever will, so what I went off of for my character was Bree's character description and the reference clip of the official dub. In that clip, Vic Mignogna's acting is very poor. I'm not usually one to dislike Mignogna, but I was really disappointed in his performance here, so I set out for a more natural and believeable delivery and I think I accomplished that. So again, I appologize that you found me boring, but you did openly admit that you are biased, so I don't much care. I do, however, thank you for the critique.

[Seymour]

juuustuh a friendly bump up for this.

[Bree]

Giving this a morning bump!

[Actorman]

Takaya- Awesome voice and great tone. Really actorman you made this guy creepy and it really worked here, definitely a character that puts fear into others. Still there was one thing, I think you delivered your lines in a rather slowish fashion for the most part, which was great on alot of lines but when you do it on most he seemed a bit static and could grow to be a bit dull. I think what would've really helped is just a making a few more of his lines delivered a bit more smooth rather than creepy. But thats minor and probably just me being stupid, really really great job~

I really appreciate the critique, man--it reaffirmed a couple of my fears about Takaya when I first watched the clip, but it's very handy information for similar characters down the road. Everyone else dressed to impress, it seems, some great work from a lot of talented folks. Any mooooore critiques anyone?

[Seymour]

Well listened to it enough times to pick out a few things that could be helpful to work on, including myself.

Fuuka- Cydonia//Holly Hampson
Your overall performance was very good, it was a much better step up than her original VA, I think the only line that could have used some improvement was "It's a member of Strega!", it's hard to explain, but it could have been like a sudden realization and a bit frightened and shocked by it, since Strega is a serious threat to them, other than that, the rest of your performance was very nice.

Junpei- TriPredRavage//Clifford Chapin
I personally liked this performance, because of one very good reason, you didn't overdo it, idk why Vic stook out like a sore thumb when he was voicing Junpei, but it sorta made the whole scenario un-realistic when he did it, however when you step in, you blend into the situation and understand that this isn't the time to sound comical, plus it was a natural tone for how Junpei looks, so...yea, I loved it.

Aigis- Shudo-Ranmaru//Amber Lee Connors
Not much to really say about you, I heard like one major line, and it seemed to fit Aigis well, so good job.

Yukari- Bree//Brittany 'Bree' Lauda
A softer and gentle approach to Yukari seems very original, and whilst others may find it off, I think it suits her pretty well, although there were some points it got a little difficult to hear you, but no biggie.

Akihiko- Senpai//Roy Liam Aschelock
To be honest, this is first time I heard you in anything, and I gotta say, I'm very impressed, Akihiko is always one of those "Gotta get Just Right" (or least IMO), and I think you got him down pretty well, it wasn't exactly like the original take on it, but I think that's what made it quite notable, hope to hear more from you

Mitsuru- Fairuza//Danielle McRae
Lovely performance, can't really find anything to pick at with you as Mitsuru, it had her calm yet worrying quality for this scene, well done.

Ken- Erica//Erica Mendez
My goodness, it's like a carbon copy of the original, but somehow...better, can't really pick at anything except him breaking down at the end, some of it felt forced, but the rest seemed very well done

Shinjiro- Seymour// Patrick Seymour
I actually don't really hate how I did, with the exception of two little lines "That's Bullshit" and "Go To Hell!" it didn't feel natural or angry enough for Shinjiro when's he truly had enough of Takaya, gotta work on that.

Takaya- Actorman//Justin Briner
Aside from a few slowly done pieces (although it could've been the video of the game going to quick to catch up), this was a very well done performance, the one thing I would've added just to add to the creepiness of his last few remarks, "How enviable" and "rest peacefully" you could have added a small smirking laugh to the first one, and small dark chuckle to the last one, but that would've probably been to much for the video itself, so w/e's.

Mixing
Nothing really seemed off, except for one small notice during the animated cut-scene, someone's foot-steps seemed to have a small little cut-off gasp each step, other than that, the rest of the clip was very well done.


I really hope you do more Persona 03 clips

[Monotori]

I haven't played the game myself, but I figured that would make it easier to see from a performance standpoint rather than a matter of comparison. Still, if I say something silly it's because I'm only basing it on assumptions; I'm hoping to say something new that hasn't been thought of, but otherwise it might help you solidify your choices by defending them. (Or you can poke fun at my cluelessness. That's fun too.)


Fuuka- Cydonia//Holly Hampson: It seemed a little strange that you pronounced some t's very much and others not at all, but I got that she was supposed to be a soft-spoken, maybe shy character. Only thing that felt off was during the call; the lines sounded like they should be more frantic based on what she's seeing. Still, lovely.

Junpei- TriPredRavage//Clifford Chapin: I understand you're going for the whole 'chill guy' thing, but it seemed out of place for the video. I expected 'Why was Akihiko-san acting so weird?' to sound a little more concerned, because he seems to be the only person not at least a little freaked out. Sure, that could be the character- man, I bet you love getting those badass, 'nothing-can-touch-me' guys- but from what I'm seen from these characters they tend to be more detached than carefree, and even then they have at least some gravitas. I respect your decisions, but for the overall direction of the scene it stuck out.

Aigis- Shudo-Ranmaru//Amber Lee Connors: Assuming the character's robotic, the only thing I could say is maybe to see if it would help to add a little bit more space between words (I didn't get she wasn't completely human until I read some of the other comments and noticed the shoulders on the second view). Still- and despite only having one or two lines- it seemed great to me!

Yukari- Bree//Brittany 'Bree' Lauda: Seemed very natural to me. Not knowing the character at all, from your voice I'd assume she's a natural leader, the assertive kind that wants to figure it all out. If not, then take it as a compliment to your natural voice.

Akihiko- Senpai//Roy Liam Aschelock: It's kinda unfair here because I seriously don't have enough to go off of, so all I can say is 'good job', but I'm sure if I heard more I would've loved it. (Liked what I heard so far!)

Mitsuru- Fairuza//Danielle McRae: I've always loved these characters because they're so assured and solid, and I equally enjoyed the way she was portrayed here. I wanted a bit more out of the whole realization bit, since it seems she knows something bad is about to happen rather than, "Oh, no, it's the day his mother died. I bet he's sad now." Or maybe she's so smooth that she knows they can take care of it? The same applies to her explanation (her portrait looks more regretful, so I expected a bit more weight).

Ken- Erica//Erica Mendez: I hope this doesn't sound too harsh, but the first few lines didn't seem to exactly fit the script, based only on what I've seen in this video; then again, I could be completely off depending on what you were going for. Starting with 'Two years ago today' it didn't quite sound like he was angry, at least not in the vengeful way... it sounded more like a kid who's mad their parent picked him up from practice too late. Is it because he's great at controlling his emotions? 'That was the day my mom died here' sounded equally annoyed rather than angry; maybe it's just not what I expected. I kinda expected him to be barely controlling himself in the beginning, trying hard not to be too emotional until he finally accuses Shinjiro. I guess I expected him to react to his mother's death in a more shaken way, but I think you're going more for the 'kid who can't control himself and acts out of blind rage'. It sounds ridiculously accurate as a boy, though, and if I simply misunderstood your take then the whole performance is superb.
EDIT: Y'know what? After watching the official clip, I think it's just the character, so be damn proud of your performance because besides that (mis)interpretation, it blew me away.

Shinjiro- Seymour// Patrick Seymour: From the portrait I thought he would sound a bit darker or more mature, which was why your first line seemed a bit too careless for the scene. As I kept listening, though, it kept getting better; it fit extremely well. Without being too apologetic, it had just as much regret and control as I was looking for. (Except for the explosive lines. Those could've used a bit more, in my opinion.)

Takaya- Actorman//Justin Briner: Freaked the hell out of me, man (gee, I wonder in what other circumstance that could be seen as a compliment...). Sometimes it seemed a little too heavy (when he was questioning Shinjiro) but otherwise, man, I'm going to have nightmares. Thanks a bunch.

Mixing: I think someone else already said that the footsteps seemed a bit off, but otherwise I didn't notice anything (which means you did a great job!). The first gunshot seemed slightly late, but it wasn't distracting. I'd love to see more.

That goes the same for everyone. I'm trying to figure out ways to improve what's already good, so I'm being neurotic about every slight thing no matter how unnecessary. You guys really did a fantastic job, and again, can't wait for more!
