Your Noelle is great, though it lacks the softer, nasal quality her voice has. Also, the decrease in vibrato is more like Lucia's style, I think. It still sounds really pretty. :3
Rina was also good. I think you did a nice job making your voice sound deeper. However, I don't think your voice type is as fitting for her as the other two mermaids you tried.
Your Sara is lovely. It can be improved, though. She's a bit more nasal than how you sang (I don't blame you for not singing through your nose since it usually feels unnatural). It's too bad it cut off. I wanted to see how you'd do on the slower part.
With Sara, l think you should try to add warmth. That's an odd request, I know, but despite how... depressed she is at parts, she always has some warmth as she sings. I'm picky with this one because I think it has a lot of potential. XD
@KawaiiSora You keep saying "nasal quality" but I think that's something that is characteristic for Japanese voices and these are English dubs. I just think that if you are doing an English dub it shouldn't necessarily sound "exactly" like the Japanese one, should it? Our voices aren't designed the same way.
I do agree with the vibrato comment for Noel though. I was in between deciding which mermaid to use the recording for and didn't think I would be good at voicing Luchia XD
That's quite true. I should have taken into account what you were auditioning for. Sorry about that. I was too focused on comparing your voice to the Japanese. XD I agree that it's good to try to change the voice. It reminds me of how I cringe when English dubs use fake, cutesy voices for characters in an attempt to imitate the Japanese.
That makes sense! Lucia is hard to do for some people (like me!).
Ah, good luck! It's interesting, for Coco, how often fandubbers misinterpret her voice (I guess it's not around too much for them to really know it well). Her voice, in the MMPPP community on YouTube, often gets a really powerful take that's stronger than even Rina. While some do a lovely job with it, I love hearing a higher Coco, since I think it's more accurate to the anime. Good luck!
@KawaiiSora Awesome, actually I was intending to take her voice a lot higher than my others. I watched the second season where she's in it a lot more and thats what I got from it.
Ok thanks so much! After listening to it a few times I can definitely hear the lack of emotion too :-S I thnk a lot of it was that I didn't remember the circumstances for the lines, so I didn't know exactly how to feel saying them. Maybe I'll try another take...
Anyway, thanks SO much for such a specific critique. I really appreciate it.
@sharb97 Mmm, thanks for the critique. I'm still pretty new to this, but I tried to make the tone higher or lower accordingly. Guess I'll just keep trying! ^_^
You're great at voices! I think you need to relax and just really ACT it a little more for the speaking! Not that I'm a voice acting expert by any means!! XD But definately awesome!
Yea, that always seems to be my biggest problem. Don't ever worry about telling me your opnion. You're much more experienced than I am and I welcome your advice and lookforward to your help in the workshop! ^_^
And this is why I'm one of your biggest fans. XD Your Noel was I think the best, because she's so sweet and beautiful and you pretty much ARE her. It sounded really natural!
RINA WAS AMAZING, TOO! DANG! I like it that you're not that deep with her voice (some people maker her sound like a man...)
And Sara, gosh. JEEZ CHYREE! I DON'T KNOW WHICH TO SAY WAS YOUR BEST BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL SO GOOD.
wow your amasing lol you have such a great voice i thought you were a popstar when you sang :D good job i love ˚∆˙

@KawaiiSora I did the whole song on another video if you would like to hear the end. It's not as good as I would like though.
BelovedStar18 2 years ago
Ah, I did see that, though in that it was your normal voice, wasn't it?

@KawaiiSora The end part wasn't. Well parts of it weren't haha.

I'm planning on doing another reel with Coco, Hanon, and maybe Luchia added. They have much higher voices so it will be different for me, lol.

Thanks for auditioning :)
Mdm Taki: it could've had more emotion; the last line was awesome :D
Nikora: I like this one a lot, your voice matches her well :)
Noel: Noel is already taken, but this was really good!!!! I think that your voice fits her well 8D
Rina: the first line couldve been better (more angry) but the rest was Awesome!!!!! :D
Sara: This one was amazing *O* It fits sara perfectly!!!
Overall you did a good job, but just focus more on emotion. :D

The only thing I can tell you is when you say like, ______ PEARL VOICE, totally attack that line! But even then, it was awesome.
And your singing was perfect, like always! I believe you can't sing anything badly! :D
