Satisfied

So, I was in bed, on that fine edge between awake and asleep. Now, half-formed dreams in this state, you can't be sure if you're awake or not, so you don't know if they're real or not. Especially when the dream is only sound and it's a real thing that could happen. What I "heard" is Mom down the hall, maybe outside, sounding sad and distressed and shocked, crying out the name of one of cats, saying he's been killed by something (could've sworn it was the name of our dog, who would never do that; a car is more believable). So I got up, put on pants, walked down the hall, walked faster, walked to the door, heart rate getting faster what if it was real oh my god did something happen... He was just resting near the door, clearly alive. Mom wasn't around; I'd just been hearing things. I picked him up and hugged him for like half a minute. God, brain, don't scare me like that!

Who here's interested in learning music theory?

Cheetahs.

Remember when I made a slay based on your slay using a Zelda font? Speaking of Zelda fonts... Speaking of Jack... I'm fairly certain yours was the third Candle Jack slay on the old forum, mine was the second, and I forget who made the f Wait a minute. I think the first Candle Jack slay used this panel here. Who did that one? I forg Speaking of Navi... Aw man. There's still sizing problems. I guess 2056 pixels is too high? But I could've sworn there were bigger images on this thread... ...what's the upper limits on image sizes now? Height and width, not memory.

I have "Amalgam" from Undertale in my head right now. Don't know why. Gonna try and drown it out with something else. There we go. "Vs. Legendary Beasts" from Pokemon Crystal.

In Undertale, you find a vending machine in this one area that dispenses "Popato chisps".

Undertale reference.

Muppets

Waldorf and Statler.

Popato chisps. The win is mine.

I recognize that third image! It's from Fantasia, right? *Me: is about to comment on the phase of the moon being incorrect for the time of day *Brain: the segment involved deities *Me: pre-emptively shuts up Okay, so I read the title and my brain's first thought was ...the arrow is aimed a little dow- *Brain: DEITIES *Me: shuts up

I'm in the kitchen getting my dinner and my grandmother wheels up and hands me something. It's a shiny little gift bag about the size of a gift card with cardboard. Me: "It's just what I've always wanted!" Nana laughs a little. I look inside and take the thing out. It's obviously a check, but I'm deliberately looking at the back of it. "A piece of paper! It's just what I've always wanted!" She and Mom laugh a little and tell me to turn it around. I do. "Ink stains!" She and Mom laugh more. Nana says the check shouldn't be cashed until the 3rd of August. Give her time to get the money. My response? (beat) "An IOU! It's just what I've always wanted!" Rofl.

I think all the socks were in the Box once. I remember saying something along the lines of what you said. Something like... "You know how when you do your laundry and it comes out minus one sock? "All of them." Which Wiki? EGS? Or a different one? Scruffy, the janitor.

It's always good to be aware of your own limitations. And I will reread. I've been on and off with my writings for such a long time. It'd be good to get back into the fold. I'm not entirely sure. I'm like Ellen; I can do guesswork and conclusion-jumping, but if I'm not well-versed in a topic, there's not really much I can offer in terms of informed opinions. In this case, the topic is audio quality and studio sound vs. on-location sound. If I have another Ellen-esque burst of conclusion-jumping, I'll letcha know. ...I'm now starting to ponder sound effects. Might not be age. You could just not be much of an anime person. Fullmetal Alchemist and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex are among the good ones. Speaking of FMA, I think Greed II (Troy Baker) would be a good fit for Voltaire's buddy Abner. Or maybe for Jerry II? <train of thought>Heh. Jerry II voiced by Greed II. Jerry I voiced by Greed I? No, that doesn't fit. Maybe for Hedge? Vlad? Greed I kinda reminds me of Snake. Didn't they do Princess Snake in Snake's voice in DBZ Abridged?</train> Oh God, can you imagine the Abridged version of this, done by Team Four Star? Also, I can tell which side of the pond you're from just from what words of yours are triggering my spellcheck alert.

As much as I'd like to... I can't. Not that I'm unable or unwilling. I think this is an interesting idea and I'd like to give it a shot. I could probably download a sufficient recording software, use my laptop's microphone, string a bedsheet through a knitting hoop to serve as a "breath wind blocker" like they have on professional mics, and use my closet as a quiet room. But let's be realistic. I have procrastination issues. I also have commitment issues. Just look at my DeviantArt; despite having a few ongoing story projects, one of which I'm still consistently invested in, I haven't updated anything there since 2014. Doing a voice role? Even if I settle for being the "Various Minor Characters" guy, I'll still probably fail to meet deadlines or, if there aren't any, just not send in any recordings in a timely manner. And forget about a major or recurring character. So no. As much as I don't want my voicecanon messed up for this... I'm gonna have to stay out of it. I might be able to offer some amateur advice, though. Sure, background noise is one thing, but some comics would realistically have them, like the scenes set in the schools or the mall or even just outside. Maybe doing some audio recordings of various locations close enough to the comics would get you a good sample of background noise. Or recording lines at those places would get more believable audio (the place is an echoey mall or something but Justin sounds like he's in a recording booth). Wait, what am I doing? This is a fan project, not a studio feature. Brain! Stop overthinking! I still remember the pre-Crash "who do you hear the characters as?" thread. I still think teenage Ben Tennyson is a good fit for Elliot, and FMA's Envy is a good fit for Chaos (all forms). And maybe Ghost in the Shell's "The Chief" for both Arthur J. Arthur and Sirleck. And now that I think about it: Portal 2's Caroline for their secretaries, minor though they may be. Tara (griffin)'s comic appearance is years away from us at minimum. Maybe Tara (VA) could stall for time as Vladia, that panicky blonde girl, or maybe Carol. This is so gonna mess up how I hear their voices in my head. Big time.

Nah. I'm just a lurker. Last thing I need is to sign up for another website and not do anything with it. Although... I do have some Loop ideas written down... Maybe I could sign up and post a few, see what happens.
