It's cool to see how far along the project has gotten!

But... at this point Makki's age is pretty young, so it's odd to hear her with such a low voice. I think it would be fine when she's older - but perhaps there is a way to mess with the pitch? Sometimes it's hard to tell who's talking, between Alpha and Makki. I also thought the giggling around 4:50 was awkward.

It's really nice to hear Alpha with a lower voice, and background music is nice! :D

Jennifer,

Thanks for the nice comments. I'll certainly see what I can do for future chapters - although the next chapter is one with just Alpha, so I suspect that will go better by default :-)

U awesome guys! its a new type of art!

[RebootEDC]

Aw... shit. Those voice don't fit at all!!

[SilverbackRon]

That was a lot of fun!

I agree that at a couple points it was a bit hard to tell between Maki and Alpha's voices, I suppose that's the hazard of voicing two characters.

This is a terrific idea and I am really pumped to see you working on it. I am looking forward to your progress!

^_^ And thanks for the effort, all of you!

Hmm... I see what you mean about Makki having a low voice. I was trying to make her sound like a little boy because she was tomboyish, but I guess it was too deep. I think next time I'll make Alpha's voice lower and Makki's voice higher. ^_^
