Topic: Urusei Yatsura Project D (Dub)

[UruseiNeo]

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]

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

[janus]

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

[UruseiNeo]

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]

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

[sidzero]

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

[UruseiNeo]

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

[sidzero]

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]

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

[janus]

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

[UruseiNeo]

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

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

[UruseiNeo]

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.
