The sound studio

Once again, I entered the sound studio for the the voice recording for stone boy

The overview of the small sound studio for a small production. Which I is good enough ^^

That's the sound designer sitting there, he composed the opening music for the stoneboy. And someone is inside the recording room, voicing for Stanley... the miserable character.... muahahah... ^^

In the recording room ( if anyone can see.. ), behind the microphone , and ready for recording.

I'm always nervous whenever I enter the recording room. In fact I could feel myself shaking slightly.

But after a few successful takes, the nervousness just fades away...
There's suppose to be a screen in font of me... so that you could watch the animation as you record. ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

Stoneboy is just a quiet character, so it didn't really required much voice acting. That's also because, he doesn't really do much stuff in the animation either. LOL.. he's STONE-boy after all. So throughout the whole animation he just go " huh" " hmm" " ahhh.."...

Even though my role in the recording is small n short, speaking as a newbie in voice acting, after the experience...voice acting is indeed tough. It's not just about going up to the mic and say whatever the character is suppose to say. It's also about giving life to the character, literally acting as if you are the character with just your voice. With just a simple " ohhh " i need a couple of takes to get that right. The pitch is either to low, or it sounded to feminine. Cause he supposed to sound like a cute boy, not some gay. And most importantly to sound expressive enough. Sound and music are the good friends to a animation film, a good music could push the film up to a higher level, covering up mistakes, making actions of the character clearer and conveying some stuffs to the audience which animation on its own would not be able to do it. Especially on emotions. ^^ A gd animation film is about team work after all = )

I guess to perform well as a voice actor, your really need to 敢敢做. When the character is screaming, you really need to scream. If its laughing, you really got to laugh. Pretending that the stage is yours. ^^ And applause to the voice actors behind the big screens... because they are really good. = P
