Hey! Some further elaboration on points for those who care! (I ALSO GOT THINGS WRONG) 4:40 - When I say "equalisation" I mean the audio mixing in general, definitely could have used a better word. 7:34 - When I'm talking about annotating a paper, it's important to make sure you get in the habit of being told how to deliver a line and immediately knowing a way to annotate that so that you don't do the line the wrong way again. This is just my way of doing it. It's RARE I ever get to tell them to bold or italic the words they want me to hit in that way so I just annotate as I go in the session. 10:33 - My knowledge on the technical side is clearly not the best, the USB microphone doesn't send the raw audio wave into the PC sound card for processing. The USB microphone has its own convertor within the microphone. 11:17 - The Blue yeti is not awful, it's just not my recommendation I know A LOT of people buy it, and it definitely delivers. I just know your money can be better spent. For example, if you'd like to buy the Samson CO1U it's $40 less at the time of posting and in my opinion, delivers higher quality. Samson CO1U - amzn.to/2Mi9NB8 Basic XLR setup that will deliver a professional sound ($200): Microphone AT2020 - amzn.to/2YTA0sP My Recommended Audio Interface (I use this one, cannot recommend this enough) - amzn.to/2K8DlQX Basic XLR cable - amzn.to/2JNqoLD 12:42 - Software is RX7 Advanced Thanks for watching!
I'd rather hear a quality actor that doesn't sound that much like the person (like the shaq voice actor) than having the real ball player coming in there and not knowing what they're doing
@@KrushnoodTube some people just aren't great at reading aloud. I hated reading aloud. Public schools are a nightmare for about a billion reasons, I'd say forcing kids to feel embarassed probably ranks somewhere on that list. This person also isn't a fucking VA, they're an athelete brought on to lend "credibility" or some amount of star power to the game.
Funny thing is, as a musician, I actually write most non-school writing like I would speak. Excess punctuation used to outline phrasing and stresses is honestly of great use. Just have to be sure to turn it off for academic papers.. Also good to master if you have to explain something that needs that nuance to be understood correctly
Shaq was one of the only players with real acting experience, explains why he actually sounded good. everyone else sounded like they were reading directly off the script. This is embarrassing.
@@faizfuad8361 I totally agree, but most people talk, slur, stumble, etc to a certain degree (especially in American English), it's just a nuance of language and/or can be a reflection of the speech patterns in the community they spent most time in. But yeah, they could've been told to slow down or enunciate better. It also feels like there might not have been many retakes for the lines either.
Haha, so happy you ended up watching the Finnish Digimon dub, it's a classic! Finnish voice acting is usually pretty excellent (the Disney animation dubs in particular) but animes were different, not to mention they were usually translated from the heavily edited American versions... thankfully, Digimon dub got taken under a more professional production and the quality got so much better!

Because that's exactly what happened. It likely went down like this: "Here's what we would have paid a professional voice actor for 100 hours of work. Just say the line and we'll use the first take because we know you aren't an actor and will only do this if it's worth your time."
And those are the same NBA players that society wants outsiders like us to like and I’m like no thanks I’ll take an over enthusiastic fictional character over a boring well skilled sports player that’s probably done some crazy shtick

About the Quasimodo acting: They did the entire project in one continuous take. Also in pretty much every animated project since the beginning of time, the production company records the voices in the native language and then animates around the voices. In this case, the entire animation was already finished and the actors were given a script. Now they're recording everything in one take, and they have no idea how to deliver the lines. If they finish reading a line but their character is still flapping, they need to fill in the silence with some weird ass ad-libbed yelps. I don't think it COULD have been good. It's like trying to bake a cake but without and flour, eggs or an oven
when you have to pay a voice actor an nba player's salary and you're paying them by the minute on an already fairly limited budget. you bet your a** you're only gonna use one freaking take and make it as quick as possible.

I’m an Audio Engineer and after watching multiple videos of yours I have been pretty impressed with your knowledge of Audio. One other thing I feel people should know about XLR is that records Balanced Audio. It has three contacts, positive, Negative, and Ground. The positive takes the natural signal, the negative takes the flipped natural signal. Static usually occurs during the process of the signal going from the mic to the input device. Just like a car antenna which captures static, the wire in a XLR cable captures static. When the signal gets the signal processor it flips the negative signal to match the positive and sense the static that was captured by the wire, it was the Same across the negative and positive signal and when the processor flips the negative signal it also flips the captured static making it cancel out giving you a clean Audio signal. USB however is an Unbalanced signal only have a Positive and a Ground. The ground is just a reference whereas the positive actually carries signal. With no flipped signal the static will be herd out of an unbalanced cable. Another example of an unbalanced cable would be a quarter inch TS Guitar cable. Because the quarter inch guitar cable is unbalanced you will sometimes get static coming out of your guitar amp. Also the longer the cable the more static it will capture. Thank your for coming to my TED talk.
21:40 actually the real issue with that voice line is that he was going to say Willy instead of Megaman but managed to correct himself in time but you can still kinda of hear him start to say the W sound before he cuts to megaman
Man I'd love to see you react to good voice acting, especially seeing as you mentioned Handsome Jack. I love Dameon Clarke's work so much that I used to just listen to Handsome Jack voice compilations back when I first got into Borderlands.
voice actors don't breathe, Thanks for the info Cdawg! Also I ain't a voice actor but damn was it hard for me to get into a habit of changing how I pronounce "Can't " since when I say it normally it sounds like I'm saying "Cunt".
I think this is my favorite series on your channel. it's so informative and you give corrections with such confidence and calmness that it just works. It calmed me down like asmr somehow haha
"You Finland, fix your s**, man" They did. By abolishing dubs for the most part and just having the English version. They tried out Finnish dubs for some time, but it was probably very low quality and people really disliked it, so they just stuck with subtitles.
Agapio Raving team are the stuff of legend. Unfortunately, foreigners can't quite appreciate the awful translations, but I think the overall quality of the production does come across.
At first I just came for a laugh, but now I'm just taking notes every 30 seconds, there's some genuinely great VA advice in here dude. Thank you so much!
When you're reading your line, and then you see the dreaded, "(hold the last part for 3 seconds)." Those will be the longest three seconds you ever experience.
But seriously, thank you for making this series. As someone who loves voice acting, but isn't quite in the professional scene (or honestly even the amateur scene), these videos are super helpful. Tips on what not to do are JUST as helpful as tips on what you should do, and a couple of these are things I have found myself doing before (ie the quiet screams, I'm quite guilty of that one ^^;; ) But seriously. Thank you. Looking forward to more of this series.
Your videos have really been making me want to get back into voice acting. I used to do some voice acting when I was younger but eventually stopped because of a change in career but your videos have kind of inspired me to try and get back into it again.
This is such an amazing video. Very cool, very very funny. I love hearing professionals talk about their craft. Getting to hear about the “behind the scenes” of voice acting is insanely interesting. And that lion who nuts LOL!!
16:14 He sounds like he might be in his 30s at the oldest but to me, he doesn't sound like he even wants to portray an old man. He could at least try to fake it lol.
At 6:05, you explain the concept of line reading. Now I understand why it would be a little much to do that for every line and also that a lot of the character in the voice comes from the actors interpretations and readings of each line, but I feel sometimes, especially in games, a line is read in a way where it feels like the actor wasn't given the same context for a line that they would have had, had the director specified which words to stress or put emphasis on. An example of what I mean comes from my recent first plauthrough of Kingdom Hearts. In the 100 Acre Wood section of the game, you help Winnie the Pooh find his friends and, at the end, you get this cute little cutscene where everyone from the 100 Acre Woods are sitting together on a hill in the sunset before Sora, the protagonist, stands up to leave and says something to the effect of "Now I've got to go find my friends". Now obviously, the context here is that Sora helped Pooh find his friends and now he's off to find his. Therefore, the line should be read as "Now I've got to go find MY friends" with stress on the possessive. Instead, the actor read the line without any such stress, so the effect of the line is lost. This might seem minor but it pulled me out of the scene a little as it seemed to me it was supposed to sound poetic. Could this have been improved if the actor had had the line read to him to understand the context? Is voice acting in gaming different in that because of how each scene is separated by gameplay, the actors don't have the same context as if they were reading a full movie script and grasped the plot enough to gauge that kind of context? Or perhaps, that they only have their characters lines to work with, with no idea of what other characters in the scene might be saying, or how they might be engaging with their character? It feels that way sometimes. I'm sure it's also possible that it could have something to do with translation or localisation from the Japanese version of the game. That maybe the context was lost from the staff that translated the lines to the staff that record the actors' lines or something. Anyway, longest comment ever, I apologise. I'm genuinely curious. The scene can be found online if you search for the 100 Acre Wood part of Kingdom Hearts 1 if you happen to read this and are able to answer my questions. Keep up the good work, I really enjoyed this video.
I'm not a pro, but from what I know: Could this have been improved if the actor had had the line read to him to understand the context? Very probably yes. Although having the line read to you doesn't help to fit it to another actor's line if there are variations and you have to record alone (without the other actor). Differences between cutscenes and full scenes/movies vs. Character lines: Essentially yes. Localization can happen in a way that the character lines are read separately, without much of a context. Which, afaik, is a usual thing for cheaper/quicker productions, and frequently used when you're essentially not casting but are going for simple and straight hiring actors. You'd pick them by a profile and sit them down, there's not too much of a "proof hearing" of those. Cutscenes vs. full scenes: The structure of a cutscene is very much different from a full scene. You have a short length of time that needs to deliver on an already existant motive/mood (which you might not see as a voice actor, or the developers might have failed to get it along), and usually there's a lot of information drop going along with it. Which means there's no time to establish some mood. Instead a voice act just has to deliver it all on exactly that point. And, if the actor is unlucky, there's a quick change from a sad scene to a humorous scene to a romance scene. And again: Time issue. Additional takes cost money. And yes, translation can f**k stuff up by a lot.

21:40 actually the real issue with that voice line is that he was going to say Willy instead of Megaman but managed to correct himself in time but you can still kinda of hear him start to say the W sound before he cuts to megaman
Willy....

Hello CDawgVA, wowow, I’m early.
England is proud of you
4:57 "the Shaquille O'Neal actor"
I love how you might know that it's too good to be actually voiced by Shaq 😂
is it weird I'm more used to the Dragonball Abridged voice acting than the actual dubs voice acting?
This isn't the Funi dub.
I noticed that yes, was just saying
@@Valnanailo Oh, ok, thought you meant this.
Yuck
Honestly as the Abridged series went on I feel like the voice acting got pretty good.
It's like most of the basketball players were just now learning how to read.
And to speak
YOU CANT SAY THAT THAT'S RACIST
@@phoebedraper3046 did you just assume that all basketball players represent a singular race?
Dr. Light’s voice actor may need to learn as well lol.
well we all know in college they didnt go to class
"They cut his line off mid-way!"
That's a nun.
That just makes it more disrespectful. He's a nun!
Nun ya business what's between their legs.
Yeah, but the VA was clearly a guy.
19:06 sounds like a 40 year old single mother trying to seduce a 15 year old boy
Love these type of videos. They are fun to watch. And sort of different.
Yes! And definitely review the good examples of voice acting!
And the glasses
@@tart6178 yes the glasses were most definately different, but they did look good on Connor
Yeah you should definitely do a video of good voice acting, as well as your favorite VAs, lines and dubs
no one:
absolutely no one:

Man I'd love to see you react to good voice acting, especially seeing as you mentioned Handsome Jack. I love Dameon Clarke's work so much that I used to just listen to Handsome Jack voice compilations back when I first got into Borderlands.
voice actors don't breathe, Thanks for the info Cdawg!
Also I ain't a voice actor but damn was it hard for me to get into a habit of changing how I pronounce "Can't " since when I say it normally it sounds like I'm saying "Cunt".
Personally i pronounce it as Cay-unt. I have just now realized this amd it's bothering me
I have a hard time saying actually
@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 like ack-shually?
I think this is my favorite series on your channel. it's so informative and you give corrections with such confidence and calmness that it just works. It calmed me down like asmr somehow haha
the original one is what brought me to this channel, love the videos
Connor, you should totally do VA reviews on anime abridged series’ on UA-cam! Seeing you react to those would be hilarious
The NBA actor sounds hung over and slightly high reading the lines for the first time
Thats probably what the game company gave him to voice the lines
18:48 made me lose my shit 😂😂😂 how has that never been made into a reaction meme?
I guess you weren't one of the lucky ones that got recommended to that video
Please gush about Handsome Jack's voice.
Also Dio from Jojo's bizarre adventure. Damnit his voice is rightfully Godly.
Can’t tell if you’re talking about dub or sub Dio but either way they are both amazing.
I also like Kars blood curdling scream in the dub
"You Finland, fix your s**, man"
They did. By abolishing dubs for the most part and just having the English version. They tried out Finnish dubs for some time, but it was probably very low quality and people really disliked it, so they just stuck with subtitles.
Skipped over the best big green line:
“PERISH AT THE HANDS OF MY OWN SON NOT THAT! WHY HAS DESTINY CONSPIRED AGAINST ME SO TRAGICALLY??”

I really want to be a voice actor in the future so this video is extremely helpful and not to mention hilarious. Thank you CDawg 😂💕
Torille!
Jokes aside, thanks for featuring the Finnish Digimon dub, it's legendary
Agapio Raving team are the stuff of legend. Unfortunately, foreigners can't quite appreciate the awful translations, but I think the overall quality of the production does come across.
Haven’t seen that infamous Finnish dub of Digimon in years.

finally more of this, it was your original reacting to bad voiceacting that got me into your content
At first I just came for a laugh, but now I'm just taking notes every 30 seconds, there's some genuinely great VA advice in here dude. Thank you so much!
"Shaquille O'Neil" is just what the player of that NBA game named their character. Those were player voice lines you heard.
When you're reading your line, and then you see the dreaded, "(hold the last part for 3 seconds)."
Those will be the longest three seconds you ever experience.
9:35 Literally just sounds like I’m talking with him on a crappy phone.😂
But seriously, thank you for making this series. As someone who loves voice acting, but isn't quite in the professional scene (or honestly even the amateur scene), these videos are super helpful. Tips on what not to do are JUST as helpful as tips on what you should do, and a couple of these are things I have found myself doing before (ie the quiet screams, I'm quite guilty of that one ^^;; ) But seriously. Thank you. Looking forward to more of this series.

S-Sebastian? Is that you?
Your videos have really been making me want to get back into voice acting. I used to do some voice acting when I was younger but eventually stopped because of a change in career but your videos have kind of inspired me to try and get back into it again.
"Sounds like 2 cats having sex and one of them puts it in the wrong hole"
How would you know how that sounds? Genuinely curious now.
Not joking, but I have a bunch of feral cats in my neighborhood, and they are not quiet when they're doing the deed.
Yeah, apparently, reproducing hurts for cats... But they do it anyway.

I love your voice acting videos! PLEASE review handsome jack's voice!!

I'm too early ._.
This is such an amazing video. Very cool, very very funny. I love hearing professionals talk about their craft. Getting to hear about the “behind the scenes” of voice acting is insanely interesting.
And that lion who nuts LOL!!
It’s so interesting seeing you get serious while explaining your work. I really love these videos!
thank you, i now have an image of itachi choking out a squirrel.

That HAD to have been what happened.
It's good to see that Mr. Fudd finally got his life together, overcame his obsession with the "wascawy wabbit" and got his PhD.
From what I remember you couldn't skip the cutscenes in NBA 2K15, so yes, we did watch the cutscenes. Because we had to.
16:14 He sounds like he might be in his 30s at the oldest but to me, he doesn't sound like he even wants to portray an old man. He could at least try to fake it lol.
Wait why do you have your closet sound proof do you just go into your closet and just scream lol (Issa joke)
My dad soundproofed his closet too, but for a different reason: so he can play his saxophone more quietly lol
At 6:05, you explain the concept of line reading. Now I understand why it would be a little much to do that for every line and also that a lot of the character in the voice comes from the actors interpretations and readings of each line, but I feel sometimes, especially in games, a line is read in a way where it feels like the actor wasn't given the same context for a line that they would have had, had the director specified which words to stress or put emphasis on.
An example of what I mean comes from my recent first plauthrough of Kingdom Hearts. In the 100 Acre Wood section of the game, you help Winnie the Pooh find his friends and, at the end, you get this cute little cutscene where everyone from the 100 Acre Woods are sitting together on a hill in the sunset before Sora, the protagonist, stands up to leave and says something to the effect of "Now I've got to go find my friends". Now obviously, the context here is that Sora helped Pooh find his friends and now he's off to find his. Therefore, the line should be read as "Now I've got to go find MY friends" with stress on the possessive. Instead, the actor read the line without any such stress, so the effect of the line is lost. This might seem minor but it pulled me out of the scene a little as it seemed to me it was supposed to sound poetic.
Could this have been improved if the actor had had the line read to him to understand the context? Is voice acting in gaming different in that because of how each scene is separated by gameplay, the actors don't have the same context as if they were reading a full movie script and grasped the plot enough to gauge that kind of context? Or perhaps, that they only have their characters lines to work with, with no idea of what other characters in the scene might be saying, or how they might be engaging with their character? It feels that way sometimes.
I'm sure it's also possible that it could have something to do with translation or localisation from the Japanese version of the game. That maybe the context was lost from the staff that translated the lines to the staff that record the actors' lines or something.
Anyway, longest comment ever, I apologise. I'm genuinely curious. The scene can be found online if you search for the 100 Acre Wood part of Kingdom Hearts 1 if you happen to read this and are able to answer my questions. Keep up the good work, I really enjoyed this video.
I'm not a pro, but from what I know:
Could this have been improved if the actor had had the line read to him to understand the context?
Very probably yes. Although having the line read to you doesn't help to fit it to another actor's line if there are variations and you have to record alone (without the other actor).
Differences between cutscenes and full scenes/movies vs. Character lines:
Essentially yes.
Localization can happen in a way that the character lines are read separately, without much of a context. Which, afaik, is a usual thing for cheaper/quicker productions, and frequently used when you're essentially not casting but are going for simple and straight hiring actors. You'd pick them by a profile and sit them down, there's not too much of a "proof hearing" of those.
Cutscenes vs. full scenes: The structure of a cutscene is very much different from a full scene. You have a short length of time that needs to deliver on an already existant motive/mood (which you might not see as a voice actor, or the developers might have failed to get it along), and usually there's a lot of information drop going along with it. Which means there's no time to establish some mood. Instead a voice act just has to deliver it all on exactly that point. And, if the actor is unlucky, there's a quick change from a sad scene to a humorous scene to a romance scene. And again: Time issue. Additional takes cost money.
And yes, translation can f**k stuff up by a lot.
