It's not that hard to be a Qi Tian Da Sheng, Goku dubbing practical tips
A few days ago, I stayed up all night to finish the first chapter of "Black Myth", and all I could think of was the monkey's untamed accent, so my hands were itching, and I turned out the microphone to give it a try. Seriously, to the Monkey King dubbing this thing, at first glance, the threshold is quite high, but think through the actually have the way. Online those who do not move to let you pay money to buy a professional sound card tutorials, take a look at it, we ordinary people with the computer comes with a microphone, as usual, can play out a little fun.
I've done a lot of dubbing projects and found that the most critical thing is not how advanced the equipment is, but whether you can capture the character's "strength". Wukong's voice is a wild and untamed monkey, mixed with a bit of hoarseness, and occasionally a bit of mischievous naughtiness, but the underlying color is always the dominance of the heavens and the earth. Figure out this point, the tool is just to help you amplify the characteristics of the helper.
Ringing in the bell without spending money: three really free tools
Don't be fooled by software that says "free" and then locks you out of features, these three are the ones I've actually used for a long time:
1. Audacity (essential for basic recording): The old open source software, look at the interface retro point, but noise reduction, cutting, volume adjustment of these core functions of a group of stable. The point is that it is completely free without internal purchase! After recording the first step, use it to the environment of the buzzing, breathing sound processing out, the sound immediately clean a lot. Remember to export to .wav format for less loss of sound quality.
2. Voicemod (real-time voice changer)Voicemod's free mode is a great way to experience the Monkey King's voice in real time. There are a few "Monster" or "Giant" presets in there, turn down the pitch a bit and add some "Reverb" to simulate the echo of a cave. The flavor will come out. If you're playing a game, teasing your friends, or recording a voice-over to get a feel for it, it's especially fun to use it for real-time monitoring.
3. Screen Cut for PC (Hidden Speech Synthesizer): Didn't expect that, did you? There are several distinctive male voices hidden in the text-to-speech of the clips. Find the "Dialect" or "Special Pronunciator" category, there is a relatively thick tone with a bit of Jianghu qi (the specific name may be updated, try listening to a few more), slow down the speed of speech, add a bit of "intensity", when reading lines, adjust the text breaks shorter and more powerful, the synthesized effect is unexpectedly close to the game in the game. ", read the lines of the text breaks to adjust the short powerful point, synthesized out of the effect unexpectedly close to the game Goku that kind of low staccato sense of speech, suitable for voice-over supplement.
Imitating Goku's voice? Capture the soul of these points
The tools are just amplifiers; the soul of the sound has to be performed by you. After practicing for a few days, I figured out a few key techniques:
The breath goes down, the voice goes up.: Don't yell at the top of your lungs. Imagine the sound coming from the dantian (under the stomach), with the breath pressed down and stabilized, but with the point of impact of the sound raised up, on the palate or even at the back of the nose. Try saying "I am coming!" quickly. The emphasis is on the sudden rise of the word "Sun", with a bit of a tearing sensation, but don't really shout.
"Friction" for hoarseness.: It's not a mute in the sense of smoking a cigarette and breaking your voice. Try making your vocal cords not close all the way when pronouncing vowels (a, o, e) to create a grainy, fricative sound. This is especially true for words at the end of a sentence, like the "also" in "Go!" can have a rustle in the end to make it sound like it's going through the motions.
Rhythm is the soul.: The monkey's rate of speech is variable. Normally, he may speak in a lazy, drawn-out manner, but when it comes to declaring a battle or shouting in anger, he explodes in an instant, with words that sound like gold and iron, and with short, sharp pauses. Try "Boring!" The first two words are fast and furious, and then the word "up" suddenly stops with an impatient nasal sound.
Don't forget the monkey details.These are the little details that can bring a sound to life instantly. Think of all those subtle movements a monkey makes when he scratches his ears.
Don't apply the dialect.The accent of Wukong in the game is a unique interpretation, not a standard local dialect. Focus on biting the words a little "grippy", especially the rhyming vowel, such as "master" of the "father", do not be too word-perfect, can be a little to "fuo "But don't overdo it, it's only flavorful when you get to the point.
I just started to record, I was embarrassed to hear myself, record a few times to playback, compared to the original sound of the game to find the gap, slowly find the feeling. Once in the middle of the night to record a section of the monkey king angry hissing, the neighbors almost came to knock on the door, thought I was fighting at home... If you want to play dubbing, you have to have thicker skin!
You might have asked:
Don't put too much pressure on yourself when it comes to dubbing. The key is to be interested, dare to open your mouth to imitate, and enjoy the process of playing the Great Sage of Qi Tian Da Sheng. It doesn't matter if the equipment is simple, but if you can capture the "monkey's charm", it will work better than any advanced sound card. Try it, you may roar out "Eat my old grandson's stick!" It's a lot more emotional than you think!
