    Uwah, I finally mixed something! This is a solo dub of Estelle's mystic artes, which includes obviously her PS3 version one.

    Mixing by: me
    Estelle: me

    I intend to do Tear's as well, hahhh.



    As I mentioned in the Youtube description, I certainly didn't make it sound innocent like Estelle. I can definitely say I went for "own" voice for this since I've grown to hear Tear's voice as mature and commanding but certainly not low and serious. I suppose I hear myself more as Estelle than Tear, but it was certainly fun to do :>

    Mixing by: Me
    Tear: Me

    Bravo, bravo indeed. You truly deserve the character name my friend. You captured her innocent yet nurturing character and also her forceful/stubborn personality with so few words! Impressive!

    Edit: I noticed also that while you are an incredible voice match, in the future try exploring a bit more. You may not be the official VA but that doesn't mean you can't make the character your own. See where your imagination can take you and you could probably make a your next video a whole new experience for you AND your audience.

    First off: You sound so adorable. I love this <33
    >.> Noobish moment aside...I do have a little actual, factual, useful feedback. At least I hope its useful.

    Voice:
    • Pro: So, from what I remember, you are a pretty solid voice match for this character. I remember her VA sounding a lot like this. Its not a bad thing, its just one more skill you have. Like I said above, I really enjoy it. For all I know its your natural voice, so I can't give you hell for going with a strong voice match for yourself.
    • Con...ish: You do something that I hear a lot in the Mystic Artes--from fan dubbers and professionals alike. There is a certain rhythm that seems to be idealized. While its not a bad thing, varying up the delivery and making it your own would be a nice touch. This would be especially helpful due to the similarities between you and the official voice.
    • Con: There are a few awkward moments. Just a few, and I'll bet they were in the official too. Because of the inflection and voice some of the lines feel off:
      - "Rest in piece." could have sounded a bit more commanding or motherly (depending on what you'd prefer to go for). In this it was a bit too causally said maybe even happy which is rather inappropriate.

      -"I'll diminish you!" Sounded a bit off. Not quite right, you know? Though I can't place it, so it might just be me.

      -"These are the principals of the world." could have stood to sounded more final.

    Mixing:
    • Pro: The leveling seems right and the slight reverb on your voice was excellent.
    • Con: Reverb could have be attached to the sfx. More specifically the impact sound really stand out. Outside of that I don't have much feedback in this department.


    So that's about all I got. I really enjoyed vid this and it was a strong outting. I'd love to hear more from you!

    Thank you very much for your critique!

    This is more or less close to my natural voice (with a more innocent/strong tone), so I'm glad I could make it a strong voice match. :>
    On the first Con, thats a great suggestion, varying the delivery of these lines with more of an original style could help differentiate me more from the original VA. So I'll be sure to consider this for any future projects.

    "I'll diminish you!" is actually "I'll finish you!" That could be why it sounds odd xD

    I haven't mixed too many projects so I appreciate the input on that.

    Anyways, thanks for putting your time in for this critique! It really helps me to strive further for better results.

    Added Tear as well :> I actually recorded this right after Estelle's, but mixing was a bit longer.

    Oooh~ Tear's a fan favorite. Definitely one of my fav female tales characters.
    Anyhow, lets gets down to feed back, shall we?

    Voice:
    • Pro: You're deliveries are fantastic. There's the familair pattern to the deliveries, but due to the difference in voice it lends to the strength of the clip.
    • Con: I think your voice is a bit too light for this character. Maturity of voice is the issue here, and its something you'll grow into or might even be able to work towards.

    All in all I really did enjoy Tear as well. The con aside, its something that easily overlooked. It might even be a case of just needing to hear the voice in action more. Great work. You should have added the fonic hymn *shot*

    Yeah she's definitely my favorite as well! Tales of the Abyss being my favorite game, I can't help but find Tear an awesome heroine
    Thats exactly how I came upon it, my voice certainly isn't as mature sounding, though I'm definitely working on it.


    Thanks again for putting time in for this critique, your feedback is very helpful! :>

    AH ;3; I should totally do the fonic hymn lol
