[sydsnap]

Kazuma/MUG: I believe the character's voice should be a bit higher. Otherwise, I thought you did well (: I liked your voice as well but, you sound a bit older.

Ayumu/Saru4Life: I really liked yours! But I also agree that I felt it should be higher and more sweet c: still, really well done job! One of my favorites~!

Ai/RainbowApplication: Ahh I liked it. However I do believe it could've been more high with a dash of ditziness. Also, the line delivery sounded a bit awkward, like when the line 'What he's saying is true, the thing that happened was a total accident' it sounded a bit..well misplaced. Good job either way c:

Hinata/Rikka: I liked the feel you had for the character, but the tone was not how I imagined. I know it isn't your fault but I believe i heard a bit of an accent in there and your mic peaked quite a number of times. I feel i would've enjoyed it a bit more if it was also a bit more high and less peaking c: Good job tho~

Sanka/Adoxographist: I liked it! =D I just also believe it should've been higher with a hint of sexiness. Some lines lacked a bit emotion like 'are you Kazuma?' Your microphone was a bit iffy as well but well done either way.

Tsumugi/Shiroma: I also feel this should've been more high and motherly. I liked it but I also feel you lacked a bit of emotion in the gasping sounds but overall I got the jist of the character

Mina/sydsnap: I thinkkk I should've yelled a bit on my last line 'please come on in Hoshino' and maybe sounded a bit more mature.

Mixing: Very nice~!

[saru4life]

Wow guys!!! Everything turned out great! Will critique soon, when I get the chance! Congrats to everyone involved in this!

[Adoxographist]

Haha, wow, that was really great. Everyone did such a good job, I was particularly impressed with Ayumu's lines!
I didn't really meet my own expectations, but I think that's okay UvU. Now that I've seen this, I think I have a better understanding of the series and the character, and I can for sure do better next time. OuOb!!

I thought the mixing was overall really good, and the background music and sound effects worked really well, but... I also noticed that some people were noticeably louder or quieter than others at times. I don't really have much else to say on that matter, but yes.
Good job everyone!

Okay going to put my long two-bits into this~

Opening Scene-I felt like maybe you should've dubbed this, since you didn't add subs and I kinda forgot what they where saying here...so it just seems like a sad pointless scene

Kaz*m*: MUG-Right off the bat I liked his voice! I felt it fit very well with the original. I felt like the lines where delivered well here

*y*mu: Saru4Life-I felt like Ayumu could've been a little higher, he doesn't have the sweeter voice I imagined. His lines seemed very soft? Low in volume I guess? But other than gettting used to the voice I liked this performance.

Monkey: MUG-Not much to say but GOODMONKEY!

*i: ApplicationRainbow-Rahhh! >< Mixed feelings about this, I felt like I could've done better, but I'm happy with this too

Hin*t*: Rikka-So fitting for her character! I loved the voice~

S*nka: Adoxographist-I enjoyed this~nothing more

Ts*mug*: Shiroma-I felt maybe she could've been a bit higher, but again I am picky, but besides that she played the character cutely~

M*na: sydsnap-Perfect~

Mixing-I liked the mixing, nothing to pick at really, just that some lines are softer then others but that was already mentioned

AND WAIT WHAT? DID I HEAR KINGDOM HEARTS MUSIC AT THE END IN THE CLASSROOM SCENE!?

[Shiroma]

Woah, so nifty! I'm glad to see this completed - all the players worked great together!

Kazuma - MixedUpGuy: When I heard your voice at first I was rather surprised at how low it was, but I just got used to watching the original so many times to practice anything different would be strange at first. Anyway, I loved the way you acted the character, especially in the second half - "Hey, what's up Ayumu? ^^uuuu" -, and I thought your voice went well with Kazuma's casual, nice unassuming guy nature ^^

Ayumu - Saru4Life - Wonderful acting! I agree the lower voice was a little shocking, but it worked because you played your choice of Ayumu's character so well. Not much else to say!

Ui - ApplicationRainbow - Very cute voice ^__^ I won't say anything about the pitch being lower than the original here, because frankly the high pitch of the original seemed nearly impossible already and didn't sit with me too well. ^^u I agree she could be a little ditzier, but your voice fit the character and was pleasant to listen to. ^.^

Hinata - Rikka - Great energy, you really got into the character XD The static was a bit off-putting, I must agree, though that's just a technical comment. Awesome character!

Senka - Adoxographist - Ooh, lovely voice for Senka, I like how you played her. Though there were also times when she was being sneaky or joking, and a little more of that silliness accentuated in those bits would have been good too, I think. Otherwise, Senka sounds very cool!

Tsumugi - Shiroma - ......mind you I'll practice what I preach uXD Wow, I sound different when listening to just myself. Indeed, I could've played her with more emotion. My voice is a bit low like that so I suppose I was afraid of raising the pitch a bunch and making Tsumugi just sound fake. I won't bore you with my thought process, I'll just play her again and see - this is my first time in a fandub, so please forgive me once... ^^u

Mina - sydsnap - Way to show the class who's boss. XD

Mixing - Awesome sauce! I like the different feel the show got with the new sound effects, music, and voices together. The Kingdom Hearts music for the ending classroom scene was a nifty addition and even made me laugh, and also points out the different feel of the show I was talking about - not so utterly sweet as to be almost unrealistic. Ah, well, everybody has their own opinion and culture. ^^u
Although I must say, the variation of volume of the voices was a bit of a bother...but I'm no mixer, so I don't know how much of that is under the mixer's control, especially having to use soundbytes from many, and possibly very different, sources. Other than that, awesome work. ^^

This was great fun, and I'm really looking forward to hearing everyone in the next episode! ^___^/

(Oh yes: Monkey was great XD Love that random monkey...)

[MixedUpGuy]

Shockingly this is the biggest turnout of critiques I have gotten for a project and I am truly grateful for that. Thanks everybody. Now to comment on a few things that I notice have been appearing on multiple posts.

1.) I do apologize for the line volume from person to person. I will do my best this next episode to equalize all the volume levels in the show so that no one sounds upstaged. That one falls on me and I will watch out for it next time.

2.) The Kingdom Hearts song was not supposed to be included (naturally) since it did not have anything to do with the series. However, when listening to the music I received from a download of the HeKH OST, one song was missing which turned out to be the song for both the classroom scene and the preview. So I began reminiscing about which song sounded similar in nature to the missing track and chose Traverse Town. Glad everyone liked it though. Kind of a blast from the past to me. I can't even remember the last time I played a KH game. XD

Anyway guys keep an eye out for new auditions coming soon and I will send out the scripts asap. The next audition deadline will be short to speed the process up. Considering all who tried out last time out I have an idea for each character and who its going to, but I want to keep this diplomatic. Again, keep a heads up on the auditions and send the link to your friends that you think might be interested! Catch ya later!

Here's my input/ advice:

Kazuma/ Monkey- at first I was like who is MUG? But then, I realized it was you Mixed Up Guy! lol! Good job, overall. I felt like your voice matched with the character really well. However, I felt like whenever your character would scream or yell, I felt like you were holding back. An example of that would be at 5:07 in the first part of the clip. You should go for it! Don't hold back! Open your mouth and let it rip (i know that was cheesy don't hold it against me lol) Your monkey was great as well. I bet you had a lot of fun doing that character!

Ayumu- I realized that my voice wasn't like the original character but I wanted to separate from that. I kind of wanted to make my own character and not rely too much on the Japanese version. But, I felt like my voice matched really well with the character. There's always things I can work on in whatever project I'm in and this one's no different. But I can honestly say that I really have confidence in my abilities after looking at this. So, I'm happy with how all of this turned out.

Ui- Your voice is soooo right for Ui! I think there were times where Ui's ditsy qualities came into light. An example would be at 8:38 in part 1. That's actually my favorite moment with your acting because it just sounded so real and genuine. So, you should definitely play into that a little more throughout the show. I agree that your line deliveries sounded a bit off too. I think there should be more versatility or musicality. There were times where the lines were sounding the same and that's what I was talking about before. You should make them sound different every time. Does that make sense? If not, contact me. But I think you did a very good job, keep up the good work!

Hinata- Love the energy that was put into this character. Your voice for this character reminded me a lot of Haruhi Suzumiya lol I guess this was said before, but I don't know if it's the quality of the mic or what, but there was a lot of peaking or static. But I liked your performance, good job!

Senka- Your voice impressed me the most. I thought the voice fit so well with this character. I loved the warmth quality of your voice in this. I thought the split personality came out so well. When I was auditioning for this character, I thought that that was the hardest part to portray. And you did it so well! Good job! However, you should definitely play more with the sexiness aspect of Senka. Don't be afraid to do that, I believe you can do it! There were times where you should a little robotronic so there should be a little more versatility. But I also felt that it worked with the character well. Great job!

Tsumugi- I thought for a first timer, you did well. I wished you had more lines so I can critique you more. But what I can say is again versatility. Your lines sounded mostly the same so I would like for them to sound different. I thought your voice for Tsumugi was cute. I have never seen this anime so I can't say if it should sound higher or lower or whatever. But I thought it fit to the character well.

Mina- You only had two lines but I think you did Mina well! lol

Mixing- I mean you already know about the whole thing about different volumes of the voices, so that was my only complaint.

Overall, I think this was great. As I've said earlier, I've never watched this anime. But after this, I want to watch the whole series now! lol Congrats to everyone involved in this. And I'm looking forward to working on the next episode!!! <3
