How do you play the Big Fish voiceover? Hands-on experience I've tossed together with zero-cost tools
At 2am, I was nestled in my study with my headphones on, reciting into the microphone for the 37th time the line \"Whose love do you think you're receiving? \", voice almost smoke but always feel almost meaning. Last year, I was obsessed with "Big Fish Begonia", and on a whim, I dubbed Tsubaki's voice and sent it to the B station, not realizing that the number of broadcasts had broken six figures. Today, I'm going to talk about how to use free tools to play around with animation dubbing, which is all about stepping into pits and saving up for the blood and tears experience.
First, do something serious before you open your voice.
Don't rush to start recording! Last year I was so excited to get started straight away that I realized after recording that Tsubaki's lines overlapped with Chu's scenes for half an hour... First, drag the source into the cut or must cut (both are free), and delete the soundtrack completely. Here's the kicker: strip down the line book sentence by sentence! Begonia's lines are like prose poems, Tsubaki's breath has to sink when he says \"All living humans are a giant fish in the sea\", while Chu shouts \"I'm not afraid of the sky, I'm not afraid of the earth\" with the recklessness of a teenager. I printed out Reika's lines and marked the pauses with a highlighter, and the crumpled paper is still tucked away in a drawer.
Second, zero-cost equipment can also make a good sound
Don't be put off by professional equipment! My first pop video was recorded with a 99-piece headset. Key tips: hang your duvet on the back of your chair as sound-absorbing cotton, and put your cell phone on airplane mode to avoid interference. Just use Audacity for recording software, the open source gods even come with noise reduction. Recently, I found that Adobe's Podcast online tool is even better, uploading recordings to automatically eliminate background noise, even the sound of my air conditioning can be eliminated clean.
By the way, remember to put up a doll in front of you when you record your lines. When I was dubbing Chu, I yelled my lines at a Pikachu doll and my neighbors almost called the police.
Third, knead your vocal cords like playdough.
The hardest thing about matching Tsubaki is not the empty inspiration, it's the stubbornness of a 16 year old girl. I drank Fatty Sea for three days before I found the trick: when I said my lines, I used my fingers to gently press the bottom of my throat to make my vocal cords vibrate in a more focused way. On the day I dubbed Elderly Spirit Woman, I was holding two plums to create a hoarse feeling, and after recording, I realized that my cheeks were so sore that I couldn't open my mouth.
The worst part was the emotional outburst scene. Chu shouted in the rainstorm \ "I regret not holding you that night\", I poured ice water to create shivering sound effects, resulting in twelve NG six trips to the toilet. Later, I learned to pinch my nose and learn how to cry, but it's more realistic.
Fourth, late magic makes the ear pregnant
The freshly recorded sound is like an undercooked dish. Using Audacity to bring up the 100Hz band will make Tsubaki's voice more moist, and add 0.3 seconds of reverb to Chu to create a sense of space. Here's the kicker: Go to Freesound.org and search for "Deep Sea Bubbles", superimpose it on the background sound of Yeongwol's appearance, and all the pop-ups are asking if you've bought a professional sound package.
There's a part where Tsubaki's crying always looks like fake crying, and eventually it turns out that it's the breathing rhythm that's off. Crop the huffing at the end of each sentence individually to amplify it, and you immediately get the realism of crying until you run out of oxygen.
V. I've stepped over these potholes for you.
Never record in the afternoon! I once recorded Chu's upbeat lines at three o'clock, and the square dance tunes leaked in through the headphones outside the window, making the finished product sound like I was dubbing in a karaoke bar. Now I stay up until late at night to work, and I've stocked up on five cases of Red Bull.
The slobbering sound was deadlier than expected. I made it a habit to chew on an apple before recording to activate my mouth muscles, and to always have lemonade on hand. If you hear a "boing-boing" sound, use Audacity's spectrogram to find a spike at about 4000Hz, and pull it to disappear.
There is also something to be said for export settings. Shake it with 128kbps MP3 is enough, but put B station has to be adjusted to 192kbps WAV format, otherwise Tsubaki ethereal tail will turn into current sound. Last time I was lazy and directly transferred MP3, I was chased by the sound effects party in the comment section for three days.
VI. Finished product inspection metaphysics
The final test is very evil: turn off the screen and listen to the sound. If you can visualize the scene, it's a success. There was a monologue where Chu was drinking on a rooftop, and when I added the sound effect of ice cubes crashing, the pop-ups were like, "Did you see the tears in the glass reflection?".
It's a shame to listen to something from half a year ago now. But remember, I still haven't deleted Tsubaki's "It's hurt\" trill when he first meets me - it's the truest form of rookie panic.
