A bunch of voice tests for potential new characters! Normally i keep these tests to myself, but recently you peeps mentioned how you wanted to hear them too, so here you go! ^v^
This is nothing too fancy though! I usually just test my vocal performance for characters using their in-game lines, so that's what i'm reading here~ ^^
Many of these characters' vocal performances are still works-in-progress for me, so take them with a grain of salt~! >v< I fear my vocal range is still not very stretchy, especially for male characters, rip ;v; Even if i can't hit their pitch exactly, i do always try my best to find a tone and cadence that matches each character's personality and disposition... i hope i did ok! But if i didn't, these are still just tests so it's all ok! ^^
All of these are either characters i have partial ideas/scripts for, or characters i think it would be fun to try out...i don't know if you'll ever see ALL of these (hence why i'm trying to find ways to get faster at editing so i CAN possibly try all of these out! ^^), but definitely let me know if my portrayal of any of these characters piques your interest! ^^ That will definitely encourage the audio's creation! ♡
And of course, don't be afraid to tell me if you feel i'm waaaay off base for any of these characters! These are only tests after all, and i'm very welcoming of any and all feedback! ^^
My thoughts on each one of these vocal tests:
Freminet: Fremmi here has had a finished script for probably a full year now... ^^; He keeps getting pushed out of the way by Venti and other characters lol... but in exchange, i've had quite a bit of time to practice his voice...i'm not exactly able to hit his specific tone, but i hope i got his vibes, at least! ^^
Arlecchino: Ok, but Arle is shockingly fun to play!? OvO Reading her lines were very fun, please let me know if i captured her slightly intimidating energy! I did my best! >v<
Columbina: I think she's adorable~ >v< She has a unique airy tone to her voice that's a little hard for me to replicate, but i found out on accident that she's actually much easier to voice when i'm sleepy irl >v<
Scara: I may not be most suited to his voice, and all of his canon VAs do such a good job, but recently his character growth has been intriguing me, so i wanted to give him a shot! ^^ Again, i can't replicate his exact tone/pitch, but i want to at least be able to reflect his energy...what do you think?
Lauma: I like her :3 I wanna hang out in the forest and eat berries with her >v< Regardless of my eccentric forest fantasies, a few people have requested her from me~ She's a character i thought i wouldn't be able to voice, but her tests came out better than i expected, so here you go! Feel free to tell me what you think!
Sandrone: Unexpectedly another VERY fun character to play!! No one has requested anything Sandrone-centered from me yet, this was just something i did for fun (and as a means of coping after losing my 50/50 to Jean, rip lol) I'm really enjoying her character though...i've only had a small amount of time to poke around the new update, so i haven't seen everything her return has had to offer, but i do have a soft spot in my heart for tsundere characters, hehe :3
Lohen: Ok, i took some creative liberties with him... >.< Lohen's canon English VA has a very unique spin on his vocal performance - a fast speaking cadence and waaay more energy than i would have originally guessed...a very fun performance! ^^ I tried replicating that vocal style initially, but something felt incredibly off, somehow... >.<; So this is my newest version, and the one i'm more comfy with. Throughout all of my character research on him, i found myself leaning more in the direction of Lohen's JP/CN vocal performances rather than his EN's performance~ They're ALL good performances, but i couldn't help but take some creative liberties with his performance as well ^^ I think something like this might also provide room for some fun contrast between when he's calm/disinterested and when he's crazy...wait what
Anyhoo, that's all i have to offer as far as vocal tests go! Let me know what you think! ^^I'm about to shift gears back over to getting the newest audio all recorded - sorry i've been moving a lil slowly, but i'm glad i took the time to get some of these fun things up on Patreon ^^ I've been meaning to share more things here...i'm so glad i got the chance to this week~ ♡
Anyways, off i go! Feel free to let me know your thoughts on these!
