[nikoshinigami]

Sounds pretty good thus far. Mochan's lines had noise in them that should have been removed but other than that, I felt the mixing was done quite well. Excelent job brining energy to the part of Hazel as well.

A lot of these voices are ones I havn't heard much. I'm really enjoying Andre D as Arc though so far. He's does a great job of keeping the character mellow but far from boring.

Looking forward to the next one!

Thank you^^ As for Mochan...I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the noise...next time I will remove it for the next episode^^

And thank you again^^

I look foward to it too^^ (if I could only finish writting it )

[Manabi]

My turn for Critiqueing (sp)

Manabi- Ok so i may not be the best voice actress in the world but still I would hate to hear any one else as Hazel T.T. I created all her voices using my voice so it just didn't sound right to hear somenone else play her...Anyway i'm sorry for ruining you hazel T.T

Hazel: Yea Manabi thanks alot!!!! *Draws sword*
Manabi:Nooo Hazel please don'y kill me i'm sorry...I'll do better next time I promise *cries*

Andre D: You are my hero!!!!!! Your lines were perfect and you portayed him perfectly. And above that, not only did you send your lines first...but...you ahd the flu and still had them done perfectly...My friend you deserve the voice actor of the year award...or well atleast a cookie^^ *Hands you a cookie* (sorry )

SandsO: I love your voice and you did a great job...I just wish there were more lines for you to have.

Mochan: Great...as usual...I always love your acting. You are Eleanor your voice fits her perfectly. Next time just try to make your lines louder or increase the sound imput on your mic so I don't have to raise the volume as much (sorry my noise removal isnot working very well for some reason)

Nikoshinigami/ Nikoford: Great job you definatly sounded evil...Maybe next time try to be even alittle more evil sounding (if you can) But besides that great job!!!

To the whole cast: You guys are amazing and I love you all!!!! Thank you for helping my dreams come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I truly couldn't have done it without you!!!

Mixing: Well for once in my life I can honestly say that I am kind of proud of myself. I downlowded a free audio mixer a few days ago and put together this whole thing without knowing what I was really doing (That is why i couldn't remove the noise^^) And it sounds pretty good obviously there are still many things to fix but still *pats myself on the back* I don't think I did to bad for may first production^^.

I can't wait for the next episode two of my favorite characters are going to show up in there^^ So until then...everyone please sit back and enjoy.

[YamiRin]

well made^^. to bad I didn't get any role in it but... you can't get everything you want^^. the voiceactors were good and I liked the characters^^.

[Manabi]

Yamirin: Thanks and I'm sorry...But don't worry there are many more parts to come. The next episode already needs at least 2 extra's and a few other parts so maybe next time. And I am glad you liked them I was worried people wouldn't like Hazel because of mean spirited she could be butt I am glad she didn't come out that way^^

[YamiRin]

I would gladly do any extras^^. and so I hope to get your lines for my radioplays soon... I really can't wait to start mixing Neko World episode1^^. I think it can end up being kinda good^^... at least better than the first episode of Clock of Heart (lol) but I'm actually thinking of fixing the volym level in it one day... it may take time but I'll let you know when I've done it^^'

I have to say, for a first mix that was really good!

The story was interesting to follow and well presented, the characters were lively and distinctive, and you made good use of sound effects and music. Yes, you're going to need to learn how to use your audio mixing software better to get rid of noise and even out the sound of the shows, but that can come with experience. You've got the basics down now, and if you continue to practice I think your stuff is going to sound amazing.

The actors in general all did a good job and one thing that particularly struck me was the variation in the emotion of the characters, there were clear subtle shifts in emotion that really made them come alive. (I credit this to the actors as much as the script.)

My one big complaint is that is just stops, not really ends. It would have been a good idea to stick some ending music/credits on afterwards to clearly show your audience it's over.

Thanks for sharing this with us Manabi, and if I can be of any help feel free to contact me anytime.

[Mochan]

There was a lack of SFX, especially in the beginning where there was no wagon sound. And I didn't quite understand what happened after she stood up...did she fall? o.O
For your first time, it was pretty good, even if there was a lack of SFX and the levels were a bit off. There were some awkward silences between lines as well.

As far as my noise reduction, you could always ask someone if you don't know how. I actually only noticed a couple noise problems. o.O My mic sucks when I use a low voice. o_o; Bah.

Anyway, I did think everyone did well. Niko is my mistress! haha. XD And for your first time mixing, it was quite good. I know you'll keep improving!
