This animation is slowly crawling towards completion. I'm never doing 35 seconds of mostly lipsync again. Also, I recorded voice lines for it, mostly because I needed better reference for the aforementioned lipsync. I was feeling a little too embarrassed to share this version but someone on the Discord server found the file I had uploaded to Vimeo to show a friend, so that band-aid's been ripped off. 

I don't claim to be a good voice actor or that I'm the 'canon' voices for these characters--  technically Shyam's voice is lower but I haven't been on testosterone as long as she has, so to speak. Also I'm nnnot that good at her accent, but she is from a bilingual Hindi/English background. Talita idfk what I'm doing with the audio editing but it's not quite where I'd like it to be and I think it has more to do with my ability to act her than anything in Audacity. Unfortunately it's kind of hard to find the privacy to practice babbling to myself in an alien voice. I like the effect of her voice sounding lower-then-pitched up though, it's unusual in a way that isn't overly computer-y. Not in love with the autotune. 

I should probably start scouring YouTube for help videos if I'm gonna keep doing this, and/or get a mic and recording setup that isn't... bad. Those are kind of pricey though and I'm still firmly in the "fucking about" stage of whatever this animation obsession is, so I'm going to wait for a bit before I start browsing $300+ hobbyist level mics.

but I’m glad you feel ok showing it either way and think this is good especially since you’ve never really voice acted!!!

Omg I love them so much. I think Talita’s voice effect works pretty well! “Lower but pitched up” makes tons of sense and feels natural, and I love the growing ProjectProjectProject excitement you got for Shyam

The voice acting sounds really good! Also fun seeing engineering terms I can actually understand now from my job that I wouldn't have understood a couple years ago

Talita talks from the end of her truck? I never would have guessed, that's really cool and even cooler to see animated.

Your voice acting gives this so much life, it's coming along very nicely!

I love this so very much! I think you did great at conveying how they sound, even if it isn't quite where you want it yet. It gives us a very good idea of their voices when we are reading the comic. Thank you! 😸

Also, you're absolutely killing it with the animation!

I love this? It feels really natural, like all of your dialog, and the voice acting was fine! Great, even! The moment is really cute and a great slice of life glimpse.

It's so good! You really shouldn't be nervous about what you feel is the best portrayal if these characters, it adds so much life. A+
