Ehehe...

That one's actually very untrue

(I try to avoid as much talk of it as possible on AIM for reasons of boringness, but realize that I'm also very actively involved in a project that's of no smaller scale than this on the modding side of things which I'd also like to get through as soon as I can, whilst settling out my college stuff here NOW too...).

Accessible or approachable is the right word though. I've been telling you all along that I'm willing to help out any way I can. Don't underestimate this Oto's functional ability, however blabbery and idle he may seem.

That said, I will steal that microphone tomorrow if I have to

Uh... does anyone have anything constructive to say as far as my actual VOICE?

Here's a pack of a few takes on my and Pen-Pen's commentaries I did today if anyone feels like picking at my voice. Still with the crappy microphone, so the voice is what I'm concerned with. Tear me apart, critically speaking, if you have to. If I'm being leaned towards, I had better know exactly what everyone would want to hear (even if I don't actually get picked, which is fine).
Please check them out if you have time:

I've been trying for the last hour, but I can't seem to get a satisfactory recording out of myself. Too many pops and clicks from my tongue. Looks like I won't be able to produce anything useful. Pen-pen's a lot better at this than I am, anyway.

Alright then.

It's now either me or Pen-Pen doing this.
I'm not really as impressed with my own voice as DWP, so it's really a matter of who you think would do a better job. It's all the same to me, as long as it gets done in proper time.

In fact...

ATTENTION:
I would like to have a decision on who everyone thinks should do the recordings by midnight (est) tomorrow. It's important, because afterwards, I may have trouble making arrangements to obtain better equipment and getting it set up, not to mention finishing it before I get dragged off to school again.

If no decision is made by then... well, I shall make that decision myself and step aside.

Alles klar?

I see the link to Oto's samples, but not the one for Pen-Pen's (I probably missed it). Where might I find those at?

Those are only voice samples. Check Jasper's AIM profile for links to the actual video tracks with the voices. That should give you a better idea

Aha! Thanks

Alright, good news, my microphone issues are getting to a more tolerable state.

I've gotten a decent amount of feedback; looks like the big thing is my enunciation (and uh... I DO have a slight 'mumbling tendency' that's totally unrelated to accent). I'll see if I can work on that, but no guarantees of perfection. On the other hand, whoever prended that I was a voice actor here or something

Meanwhile, Pen-Pen will also continue his recording, as far as I understand.

So, that's the decision. The decision is to just do it and defer the decision until there's a final product from me and further work from Pen-Pen. I will meanwhile try to have this finished product done either tomorrow or the following day. So, this case should resolve itself in due time

****

And oh... guys...

You all had BETTER appreciate the effort Jasper is putting into this. One can only wish a leader of this quality upon every AMV project, and NOT wish an AMV project of this scope upon any leader.

If you can make it easier for her, even just by handing in whatever outstanding work you have ASAP, just... do it.
Please.

Congrats, have a good one!

Great, looks like we might just have these recordings done in the next couple of days. I can only hope to not sound too newbish after Song's awesomely faux-accented voice
