    protips to avoid peaking/clipping (around 3 min in):
    when dialing the gain on your mic preamp, shoot for your signal to hit about -14 db on your meters, (either in your DAW or if you have an audio interface with a control app, in there.) just over halfway up. don't have to be exact but it's a good sweet spot to try and hover around. this may seem quiet but it leaves headroom not only for dynamic performances that would induce unwanted peaking/clipping/distortion during the noisy bits AND it leaves headroom for any processing (EQ, compression, limiting, fx, etc.) that may make your signal a bit louder.
    Gain structure is your best friend, when you are recording and editing, be mindful of all of the places in your workflow where you're making your signal louder, and make sure that you're not peaking on your output channel before you do any master buss processing (limiter, ozone, bus compression, etc.) or those peaks earlier on in your process will come back to haunt you.
    hope this helps someone
    stay safe, wash your hands, rest, and create.

    Explanation for the last scene where the guy was crying but he got over it:
    That scene was from the English version of a digimon movie that was actually 3 different movies horribly cut into one, and some of the scenes from each movie are cut for pacing, and in turn killed the pacing for the scene where the dude was crying over the saddest story he’s ever heard, where in the japanese version, it’s more drawn out and is actual dialogue that relates to the plot.

    19:03. There is a reason that the change in emotion was so sudden with this one. The Japanese version of this movie was normal, the scene was more drawn out and the mood change was gradual. When they dubbed it in the US, they mashed it together with another movie from the franchise and sold them together. Because of this, the original movie had its runtime essentially cut in half, and this mood swing was a product of the cut runtime. There are a bunch of scenes from the American dub of this movie that don't make a whole lot of sense for these reasons, like the example that was given.

      The Digimon Movie America got was a thrown together combination of a special episode meant to be watched before the series, a short film called Our War Game and a longer but still not full length movie (which I do not know the name of) which is why it was so in pieces.

    From what I've seen, Japanese VO is almost always done after the animation is complete, unlike american cartoons where it's other way around. They made a point for when producing Akira that some scenes were actually done with the voices first and then the animation which was unusual. Usually if voice work is done on sketches/pre-vis that means the production is troubled because they're behind, sometimes they don't get to finish an episode until right before it goes live.

      That was the dub for the "Digimon Movie" which was actually three movies just mashed into one. They are all pretty coherent in their original japanese versions, but they had to cut a LOT out of the dub so they could fit all three movies into a reasonable length.
      That specific spot originally had a lot more time for the characters to naturally talk things out, but the dub ain't got time for that and thus we were graced with that masterpiece.

      KH's english voices are good for the most part but some actors are just weirdly inconsistent. But I do think it's a matter of direction.

    When Mamoru Hosoda was screening Mirai in the US, he said that in anime animators generally do it before the actors because they think having that freedom is better for the animators and that the animation itself is more important. That's partly why their lip shapes are pretty vague. There are other reasons too I'm sure, but it's quite a contrast to the US where half the budget can be on casting celebrities.

      It's especially weird in KH3. Probably because of the bad voice direction.

      @@gman1017 yeah kh3s voice direction was really weird. Riku sounds like a robot but his younger selfs sound just fine, like how does that happen? The series had always cheesy lines and stuff but that's kinda part of the charm of it for me. But in 3 it just comes of as weird to me, idk.

    Connor, you might not read this given how old this video is, but these kinds of videos where you demonstrate your voice acting expertise are just as interesting as all the ones where you fuck about. Hope to see more like this.
