On and off in the last while, I've been thinking of/dabbling in voice acting. However, I didn't think I really had the voice for such things, so I waited. While I waited, I tried to practise different voices (not really different), mostly in growling/evil stuff. I've definitely gotten better, but I'm still miles behind some of the other stuff I find. And, my deepest growls still aren't very good.

Anyway, I took some old lines I wrote for a unit called the Kiar Craza (Killing Claw) and tried to voice them today. Afterwhich, I did some minor editing.

I wish to show the fruits of my efforts here, in hopes of acquiring more insight as to how I can better do everything.

Presently, here are some notes I have made:
-I'm basically a complete neophyte;
-I probably have a bad mic, but it's the best that I have presently (it's still really bad; it came with Rock Band lul);
-my sister was asleep, so I had to go into another room to record (which seems to have been a good thing, since the other room is all cushiony and carpeted and shit, which I read is supposed to be good because sound waves don't come bouncing back - however, I don't think I got good positioning in the room, thanks to the length of the cable for my mic);
-I didn't have a pop screen;
-I did a pretty bad job at holding the mic at a proper distance;
-I'm still a little sick, but this shouldn't have had much of an impact;
-MORE PLOSIVES PLEASE;
-I'm not sure what else.

Here are the lines I used.

RDY:
The Killing Claw is here!

WAT:
Murder! Death! Kill!
My speed alone kills.
Set me loose!
[Scream.]

YES:
I shall strip the enemy of life!
Lacerate and eviscerate!
It shall be done!
With all due haste!

MAD:
Is it time yet to cut bodies yet?
I grow weary of this charade.
Hehehe, hehe, HAHA!
I will snatch your life away if you continue to hesitate!

-WAT:4 was terribly done. Sorry.
-MAD:3 was terribly done. Sorry. (I'm usually good at mad laughter.)

With no edits:
Kiar Craza Lines v1.0.flac.7z

With a few edits:
Kiar Craza Lines v1.1.flac.7z

Hopefully, I get better (skill-wise, health-wise).

Shame on me, but I didn't use a popscreen or anything.

Was going for a snivelly-sounding character, or something. I don't think I managed too well with this.
