Impersonations

[Zylo]

Hehe, I just listened to them. I like your Ozy, give yourself more credit for it.<br><br>And the mandolin was awesome.

[MandoAndy]

Ha ha ha ha ha....I am spreading the mandolin....thanks for the compliments. As long as I make one more person interested in the instrument, I can sleep well at night. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>Nope, not Irish, very American. I have a lot Celtic in my genetic make up, though. I do annoy my parents by constantly talking in Irish, British, German, Australian and just about any other accent all the time, so...I practice a lot. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>Hehehe, the voice I use for Ozy is my complete normal voice. Im not crazy about my normal voice, which equals me not liking my Ozy impersonation...Im glad you like it, though! Hey, we need someone to step up and do Millies voice! Will no one take the challenge?!

[Zylo]

Millie? Not I. I can't do falsetto (seriously, my vocal cords just give out when I do falsetto). We need an active female on the board.

[Dr. Doog]

here i did some and put them on my website.<br><br><a href='http://fuzzycheese.net/oandm/dream.wav' target='_blank'>dream</a><br><a href='http://fuzzycheese.net/oandm/wrong.wav' target='_blank'>wrong with me</a><br><br>i did more but um... yeah.

[norsenerd]

OMG that was amazing Doog. I surprised that this actully would work. I havn't goten a chance to listin to your impresions Andy. Ever since I got at a computer that has sound (2 or 3 hours) you've been over the limit.

[Zylo]

Hehe, that works, Doog!

[MidnightRealism]

I concur. Those are spot-on, man. I'm laughing pretty hard.

[Dr. Doog]

yay me.

[Sabre]

This is more fun than ... umm.. fun in general!<br><br>I love everybit of it.

[MandoAndy]

Doctah Doog! Yo! Yo yo yo yo <i>yo</i>!! That's awesome!!! Your voice really is perfect for Millie! The only thing I might suggest is in the technical area, and not really the performance area...so, if you don't mind, I'm going to put on my "I'm so smart" hat and go off on a computer/recording rant for a moment. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>1) The wavs are pretty low quality, and I assume that you've got it set to that level so they will be small in file size, right? Weellll, I've got a little trick up my sleeve. I currently use a very small and very free program called "RazorLame" to encode any wav on my system to MP3 and drastically reduce the file size. You can download it <a href='http://www.dors.de/razorlame/download.php' target='_blank'>here.</a> That way, you can save your wavs at a super-duper high quality, and then convert it to MP3 and it will be about one tenth the size it was as a wav. I swear, I don't go a day without using RazorLame at <i>least</i> once. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>2) When you speak into the microphone, try to have it close to your mouth, but don't speak <i>directly</i> into it or else you'll get some popping sounds of your breath hitting the mic. It's a little awkward at first, but it really pays off to learn how to work the mic so it can "hear" you, but you don't breath into it. One way that I've heard a lot of people avoid doing that, is by having the mic placed to the side of their mouth so it's close enough to pick up their voice, but it doesn't have any breath hitting it...which means you can really go wild and emphasize your P's and U's and such. <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>Alas, the only help I think I could give with your actual characterization of Millie, would be to try and speak a little clearer and make sure you annunciate all of the syllables a bit more audibly. It almost sounds like youve got a cold. Im really bad at annunciating also, so I practice tongue-twisters a lot. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo--> It sounds like your voice is perfect for Millie just the way it is, so make sure that you dont do too much to it by changing the way you speak. Im not sure if you are or not, but I thought Id bring it up anyway, since I cant stress enough that the voice I pictured for Millie is just about spot on to the way yours sounds. Voice-acting is something that <i>many</i> people are horrible at, and I gotta say, you're <b>not</b> one of them. Keep it up, and post more soon! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>BTW, the transfer limit should be okay now...no telling how long it will last, though. <!--emo&:rolleyes:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... lleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo-->

[The J.A.M.]

[...unWARP!!!] <br><br>Good evening. <br><br><br>Nice, Dr. Doog!! <br><br>I dont know if its the file, but I sorta imagined Millie sounding a bit older, maybe a bit raspier (canine)<br><br>Has Mr. Simpson heard these?<br><br><br>Zacatepngolas! <br><br>Until next time, remember: <br><br>I <br><br>AM <br><br>THE <br><br>J.A.M. <br><br>Good evening. <br><br>[WARP!!!]

[MandoAndy]

Hmm, I imagined her voice being clear and high, but I see where you're coming from, J.A.M.<br><br> <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo--> Oh boy. For some reason, the thought of Rain hearing these kinda makes my stomach squirm. I don't know why... I hope he doesn't think I'm ruining his characters. <!--emo&:mellow:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... mellow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mellow.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>EDIT: oh yeah, I found something out. Try as I might, I can't do Avery worth a crud, so...can anyone else?<br><br>EDIT EDIT: OH! Oh!! I really, really want to find someone who can make good flash cartoons! Maybe with the help of DCS we could transfer a few of the comic strips into web cartoons? Maybe? I'd love to do that, but I don't know how realistic it would be.

[Dr. Dos]

The similarities between Millie and Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes has led me to somehow giving her the same voice I give him. I just realized it now...

[Dr. Doog]
