@Weisel your voice reminds me of someone else's... but I don't know who... and that audio clip was hilarious XD
Both of them are so awkward, gog XD

@Ahiku Actually I think you did a good job of voicing Safu. Your voice kinda fits in with Shion's? IDK, but it sounds good to me o3o
You're right... your voice is pretty high... I can see how you could scare your coworker with your voice-acting talents XD

My voice is... unpleasant, to say the least. It's really loud, for one thing. Like, my normal speaking voice is what others would consider yelling ^^;
Plus, I learned to speak French and English concurrently, so it's also rather nasally. To make matters worse, I've lost my British accent from living in the states for too long... I really dislike my voice. I love to sing but I know I'm really bad at it. It's so sad XD

@Ahiku you got it all right, don't worry! That was the whole conversation I had with my friend Maddie... Safu would be all for gettin' it on and Shion would just be oblivious. "'Take you?' Take you where? You mean like on a date? Why didn't you ask sooner?"

I should just voice little Nezumi for the English dub. It would make more sense, I think. Because twelve year old boys don't sound like 30 year old men FOR SOME REASON... My friend Maddie sent me this recording of herself reenacting my audio edit a while back and I matched it to clips because why not... Just to warn you if you have headphones, she kinda yells "DUDE" at the end. Anyway, she does a better job than the actual dub in my opinion (which isn't hard).


(Also I snorted really hard when you started talking about how Shion and Nezumi need to be punished and then RIKIGA shows up... GOD...)

@Vox
Thank you ;_;
Ah, this isn't even my high voice. XD
It's more like that:
(sorry, it's just German... ^^° I'm an annoying marshmallow...)

Oh, but I think I'm a good Pikachu. X'D I've recorded it for listenforthelove several weeks ago.

Hm... do you really think your voice is unpleasant? o.o I guess most people aren't very fond of their own voices... Last week when I had to take a lot of calls (and one guy made me repeat everything like 30 times, I just talked and talked and talked... x.x) my voice really annoyed me.
Or when you hear yourself in the phone, it sounds horrible... I sound like a child. ^^°
When I have to call my workplace they always know it's me, I don't even need to tell them my name. X'D

@Weisel
Ah, good o.o Then I got it right.
Ahh, I know this, I have seen this video before. XD Lol.
Oh yeah, Nezumi and Shion's voices didn't fit at all, especially when they were kids. ^^° I mean, come on...give them woman's voices... (Please don't give them child ones... they ususally suck even more XD) But there are a lot of women with boyish voices...
Even 16-year old Nezumi should have a woman's voice. ^^° One that can sound boyish and kinda male but als very feminine. I guess it's hard to find, but not totally impossible.

@Weisel you are so right, them as children is sooo unnatural XD (The entire... English dub... it just... no...)

i think the reason they picked such a low voice for Nezumi is because they want him to fit their precious "seme" image or whatever (is that even right? i always get the seme/uke thing mixed up). Because apparently having a high voice is a threat to your masculinity. Oh no! D:
Anyway, I agree with @Ahiku, I think they should've casted him with a much more feminine voice. Or at least one with a much greater range.

@Ahiku Like I said, I try to sing. But you won't find it anywhere on the internet, that's for sure.
I like my voice in French much better, actually...
I've gotten comments like "your voice is boring" or "it makes me want to go to sleep" and other stuff usually along the lines of "shh! lower your voice!" and such...

They also should have given him another look, he looks way too beefy and manly, lol. >,< Really, why didn't they use the manga look.

Ah, yes, you got it right... seme = top, uke = bottom.

He, it's very mean when they tell you something like that. o_o But why does it make people sleepy when it's too loud for them? ^^°

@Vox my first thought about the "precious seme image" and seme/uke voices having set standards it reminded me of this post I did ages ago http://weiselzelle.tumblr.com/post/95167598959/i-finally-did-that-recording-ive-meant-to-do-for (sorry for making you guys listen to all of the stupid stuff I do BUT IT MAKES ME LAUGH).

@Ahiku YOUR GIGGLE IS REALLY CUTE.

XDDD Babe, no! >,<
That high voice of yours is really cute and funny. XD
(Lol have you ever tried pitching your voice deeper? When I do this I sound like a pervert. ^^° It's really horrible.)

I have no idea how to... Is there, like, a special technique for doing that? Or weird youtube videos on how to do that because I definitely want to be able to do that...

Aaaaah so many messages^^

Ok so first of all, you guys all have horrifying stories about weird guys. I feel so lucky that I have never been harassed like that by anyone although I'm always super scared when I'm alone outside (except in Japan, Japan was amazing for that seriously... I could go back home at midnight wearing a little skirt and I wouldn't be scared. I would NEVER do that in France Oo)

I love the voices topic^^ @Weisel you really don't sound like a man... I have no idea why people would say that!
@Ahiku your voice is beautiful but I already told you that...
I guess I'm mostly like you @Vox, I don't really like my voice at all either, but I still love to sing. I just do it when I'm alone (God do I miss karaoke rooms... *cries*) It's just... neither ugly nor beautiful, like.. is it even possible to qualify a voice as "useless"? That would be how I feel^^

But singing is cool. Btw, do you know this Youtube channel? https://www.youtube.com/user/KaraokeJPOP
For those of you learning Japanese, karaoke is always good practice for reading hiragana and katakana^^ And it's, well, super fun.

@yuneyn yay a japanese ref :D
my (four part!) test is almost over, yokatta...
(karaoke is the bomb ok, me and my roommate host two-man karaoke sessions every so often XD)

@ahiku now that I think about it... you're right, that makes no sense XD i'm very loudly boring??? i don't know... maybe they were wrong...
is my whole life a lie
(i'm pretty sure my voice manages to simultaneously be both things at once... I should get a medal for that.)

@weisel why are you so hilarious, that was great XD

@Weisel

You can do it in an audio program like audacity. It's freeware.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

Ah, I've prepared something. XD Here... you can hear the normal voice, then two pitched versions... and then what you can do with it. XD (For example when you used a low pitch and your normal voice. You'll sound like a demon...) There's an example in the end... I'm a demon teddy bear.
(The teddy bear is saying something like: "You know the truth, Yume. You'll kill your brother!")

http://crashdub.com/member/Ahiku/voicetest.wmv

You can do cool effects like that. ^^ And even a cuter voice can sound scary like that lol. XD

@Yuneyn
Oh, cool o.o Karake!!! Ah, I like your voice a lot. :3

@Vox
Then you must have a super voice when you can be loud and boring at the same time. *gives you a medal* o.o° (I still  don't want to believe that your voice is "bad".)

@Ahiku OH MY GOD THAT WAS TERRIFYING. (also I already have audacity and LOVE it, I just had no idea you could do that... I should have expected that, though... I used to be a music tech major so I just used it for editing music, and only a few times did I make clips with voices... THE POSSIBILITES ARE ENDLESS NOW...)

@Vox: Yeah, I live in a rural area in the Southern United States... where there are a lot of farms. And guys are like "Hey, lil' lady! Can I git yer number?" *spits tobacco* Eeeeeeww :P They definitely don't get my number.

Oh my gosh! I really like all of your voices! You guys have been making me want to laugh so much!! (The only reason I haven't is that I'm in the library, haha)

Ok then... say: "Shion, there's one thing I want you to remember. Whenever you're in trouble, use the pure prism gleaming crystal wisdom gem of hope."

@this-is-our-truth

OMG that's... horrible! O_O *gives you anti-farm-guy-spray*

Hmm, somehow I feel like searching higher voices for young Nezumi and Shion... Maybe later. XD
