Okay, here we will discuss the possibility of dubbing Urusei Yatsura.

Now, first of all let's try and see who does a good Ataru.

Does anyone wanna try? The sample scene we will use is a scene from the first episode. Where Ataru first meets Cherry.

Cosmic King · « **Reply #1 on:** March 11, 2008, 12:02:45 AM »

Lemme try to get my microphone fixed and i shall try to voice ataru eventually (or cherry,if possible)

How about we establish some points regarding the dubbing?

First : The applicants shall submit their recorded voice here

Second: Uruseineo shall check them and (if possible) he or Shutaro would sync the best ones in the sample scene

Finally: Uruseineo shall upload the sample scene with the dubbing on Youtube/Veoh

well I have a microphone, not the best but it can get the job done, so count me in

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #3 on:** March 11, 2008, 12:26:04 AM »

agreed. OKay, here's the first scene's lines:

*drooling* Did somebody call me?

huh?

*gets hit* Ah!

Damn, this must be an unlucky day!

Oh, geez, W... What the hell are you?

*Cherry speaks*

Ha! That's stupid! I make it a point not to believe in superstitions and all that crap!
See ya!

*cherry speaks*

I have to go this way to go home! Geez!
-------------------------------------------------

keep in mind you don't have to say these exact lines. You can change them a little if it helps syncing it to the mouth movement.

See, and if I were going to do any characters, it'd have to be Ataru or Cherry at the top of the list (Mendo would be another good one I could do).

Ataru because... for so many reasons, he reminds me of how I used to be back when I was his age (except a little more extreme, I didn't exactly go around molesting every woman I knew).

Cherry because I have such a perfect idea of what his voice should sound like in English. All I can say, is think Mr. Miyagi from Karate Kid.

Hell, I could probably do that whole scene by myself (I have a bit of talent when it comes to my voice, and could pull off doing multiple characters.

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #5 on:** March 11, 2008, 02:28:19 PM »

If you think you could do a good cherry then could you try doing his lines for the sample scene?

sidzero · « **Reply #6 on:** March 11, 2008, 08:44:10 PM »

Perhaps, if I get time. Trust me, you really have no idea how many things I have my plate as it is.

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #7 on:** March 11, 2008, 11:39:14 PM »

thanks for support. If I had to do a character I would probably... be best with one of the guards...

sidzero · « **Reply #8 on:** March 11, 2008, 11:54:37 PM »

I'll see if I can't fit it in. If there wasn't such a thing as deadlines, then I'd be all for it. It might be pretty fun. But with my UYRemix I'm doing, 3 of my own original comics, finishing up 5 CDs worth of music production, trying to finish teaching myself Japanese, a very large game I'm designing and building by myself in Flash, trying to get a job that actually PAYS, rebuilding my website from the ground up, and in about 2 months going back to school to finally finish my degree... working with deadlines is a pretty hard thing to accomplish. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I've got a whole list of things that I intend on doing but are designated as "things to do at some point in the future before I die." Seriously, being multi-talented like that may sound cool, but it can be a real stone bitch sometimes. Especially when you get a creative block that just seems to never go away and things just pile up higher and higher.

Anyway, I didn't mean to rant. Ignore all that. I think I just needed to let it out one time.

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #9 on:** March 12, 2008, 12:35:51 AM »

That's cool. Right now we're trying to see if we can get a hold of lum92 for the voice of Lum.

janus · « **Reply #10 on:** March 12, 2008, 03:53:45 AM »

I'm currently working on the first scene you requested, lets hope it turns out ok.

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #11 on:** March 17, 2008, 12:35:39 AM »

k, you can send the file to me via email address listed in my profile
Posted on: March 12, 2008, 04:14:25 AM

Alright... my friend FINALLY came through for me and got me Ulead VideoStudio -11-

Thanks to sidezero for showing me where to get a torrent for another version though ^_^

Anyways, now that I have this, Project D will run more smoothly. All I need right now are voice samples to test with. If you want, you can try voicing a character in a few ways and then we can choose the best one.

But I NEED at least one to try with so is anybody gonna give me a sample? Doesn't matter which character, I was hoping for Ataru.

janus · « **Reply #12 on:** March 17, 2008, 04:38:37 AM »

creating even a sample voice isn't as simple to make, so this requires patience my young padawan

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #13 on:** March 17, 2008, 04:41:49 AM »

I know, it's just hard to know whether or not people are interested in this. If I can get just one sample done well it could attract more people into helping us.

Patience.... or the simple process of opening sound recorder, taking out your microphone, pressing record, reading your lines, and pressing stop, and saving the result.

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #15 on:** March 17, 2008, 05:50:54 PM »

No, it's not that simple. I tried doing the voice for Mendou, Megane... both sucked horribly. Eventually I tried Ten which went pretty well but I had to go through trial an error to get one good sample

And it's still not quite right. So it does take a few tries to get the sample sounding right.

sidzero · « **Reply #16 on:** March 17, 2008, 06:36:37 PM »

And here I thought you said you just wanted something to test with.

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #17 on:** March 20, 2008, 08:18:28 PM »

Okay so I think I made a good sample for Ten but until I can get the BGM I'm not gonna release it.

It's the very first appearance of Ten from episode 2, first time you see him as he comes out of the peach. Line is "This Earth sure's a scary planet"

I looked in the music box but couldn't find the BGM so if someone could direct me to it or if someone can give me an episode which has the same BGM, even if it's longer, without any other sound interruptions?

Thank you ^_^

Good news, I found the feature that changes the pitch of voices so this way we can adjust a voice if it's not quite what we want. I already used it to make my Ten voice better.
Posted on: March 19, 2008, 03:32:18 AM

Cata, do you want to try a Benten and/or Ryuunosuke voice for us? If you can't get your voice quite how you want it I have the pitch adjuster.

That thing sure is fun to play with ^_^ I've been using it on some of my songs XD

cata · « **Reply #18 on:** March 20, 2008, 08:27:12 PM »

I think I have a "dumb" voice but I can try doing some dubbing. Can you explain me how to record my voice please? Tell me what Benten and Ryuu' lines are please.

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #19 on:** March 20, 2008, 08:37:38 PM »

Well to record ur voice all u really need is a microphone that hooks up to the computer. I'm pretty sure Windows Movie Maker (which usually is installed on the computer when u get one) has a recording feature.

This is one of Benten's lines from part 2 of episode 15:

"Hey, Lum! What's new?"
(Lum speaks)
"I was bored silly, so I came to see Earth's Setsubun to kill time." (Setsubun pronounciation: Sets-oo-boon)

And here is a line by Ryuunosuke from her debuting episode 63:

"Why the hell should I be like a man?! I'm a... GIRL!"

Anyways, don't worry about ur voice. I hated my voice too especially when I tried doing a Megane and Mendou voice. Finally I tried Ten and found that using the pitch adjuster helps A LOT. With that feature, I can do a few voices now.

cata · « **Reply #20 on:** March 20, 2008, 11:31:06 PM »

Thanks for explaining it to me! I'll make some samples tomorrow (if I have time to).

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #21 on:** March 22, 2008, 02:30:44 AM »

Thanks

I haven't seen Janus or Cosmic for a while and they're kinda co-organizing the dubbing with me. Cosmic apparently hasn't even signed in for a few days.

Hmmm... I think I might be able to do an Onsen-Mark voice with the pitch adjuster...
Posted on: March 20, 2008, 11:35:43 PM

Okay... does anyone know what happened to Cosmic?

cata · « **Reply #22 on:** March 22, 2008, 02:38:31 AM »

I don't. I haven't got time to go to the messenger because I have "extra" homework and it's really hard and it takes a few hours everyday, I have to organise a 5 day camp, I have to create an outfit (buy the stuff and really make it) for the final night of the camp and somedays, I have to visit my family and that makes my tasks being beyond schedule. Sorry for this offtopic. Anyways I'll try to be online as much as I can.

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #23 on:** March 22, 2008, 02:43:16 AM »

that's fine. Not really a rush for you to get a sample audio done.

Although I would like SOMEONE to send me a sample to work with since nobody has yet T_T

Cosmic King · « **Reply #24 on:** March 22, 2008, 03:13:41 PM »

I am back,uruseineo,and dont worry about the voice samples as i shall submit them soon

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #25 on:** March 24, 2008, 12:37:06 AM »

alright then, hope to see them son ^_^

Kroptik · « **Reply #26 on:** March 26, 2008, 12:56:13 AM »

I'm not helping in this cos frankly my spoken english sucks. xD

Just let me ask you this: are you guys sure that what you're doing is LEGAL?
We all know we don't have any rights over the anime.

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #27 on:** March 26, 2008, 01:01:34 AM »

you do realize that people fandub animes all the time right? It's not like we are taking credit for creating the episode. And also I think I heard someone say that the rights were distributed among multiple people one of which being Stan Lee.

sidzero · « **Reply #28 on:** March 26, 2008, 02:23:45 AM »

I read the Stan Lee thing somewhere here before, but I seriously doubt it. I think it's all in the hands of Takahashi-sensei, and/or her publisher.

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #29 on:** March 26, 2008, 02:28:45 AM »

well so far no one has taken down the subbed episodes from youtube or veoh so... why would they take down fandubs?

Surudoi · « **Reply #30 on:** April 09, 2008, 07:31:56 AM »

this sounds kinda cool, i might send in a sample... oh yeah im new 'round so...yeah. Cheers! :*)
