@ Loni Jay's UU and Kanaya: I think both sound great, once the quality issues get ironed out. That is my totally impartial, unbiased opinion. Yup.

Actually, that makes me wonder if I should audition for uu...

That would be pretty cool actually! I say go for it.

For what it's worth, I really like your voices Loni, especially your Kanaya.

Oh man, I really like that Calliope, Loni!

It's been fun.

[up][up][up]Go for it. It would be nice if you voice fit him.

(hidden because Mousa)Ideally it would be better if the same person voiced both, though. Assuming we can find someone who can make it work, of course.

@Loni,

You have a pretty voice, but I don't think it fit Kanaya. Also, I am pretty sure Kanaya's line should be more "carefully enunciated", as per quirk.

You Callioppe is good though! Personally, I pictured her as more sickening cute, but that can work too.

Yeah, I thought that I could stand to emphasise the enunciation a bit more for Kanaya's.

Be not afraid...

@Loni: I love your voice, but those are some serious quality issues. What happened?

I'm not sure. It could be that my laptop microphone is busted, or maybe I was just standing too far away from it.

Have you tried recording under a blanket or in a closet?

If we're going to have a UU then we're going to need a Roxy. Also that has spoilers for Mousa. I don't know about doing Roxy though.

Laptop microphones tend to not be all that great, it's probably better if you're able to purchase some semi-cheapo microphone at about the $10-$20 (or I guess 8-15 Euros) range if you want to do some minimal recording like I occasionally do, I say the improved quality is worth it and you don't even need studio grade eqiupment.

With that said I'm going to be looking into making some kind of homemade pop filter so all my "P"s and "H"s don't well, do that thing that makes the recording all fuzzy and you guys may want to look into trying to do the same.

I like your Kanaya by the way, Loni, though maybe it could stand to sound a bit more.. I guess calculated or careful. You definitely have the elegance down pat though.

^Yeah, I've been using my laptop mic and just looking to one side so I don't get any pops. I also use Audacity with the mic input down very low.

It's been fun.

I've been using a Microsoft Skype headset.

I've just been recording with the computer's mic and then editing the sound quality ever.

I might steal borrow Gaunt's headset tomorrow, see if that's any better?

I remember reading somewhere that putting a sock over a microphone sometimes helps filter out unwanted noises? That could be way off base though.

Most likely, and it's probably less industrious than cutting the top off of a coffee can an fitting it with a sponge or napkin. I'll give it a shot.

Okay, um, I uploaded a Karkat attempt to Tindeck, but when I navigate to it, there are no controls for playing it. It's not a problem between my computer and Tindeck, because I can play the other things that have been linked to here, so I'm not sure what's going on. Does clicking the wrong creative commons options change it?

Just in case any of you can get to it, or just want to download it to hear it (because that option does show up), here it is. It's a Karkat voice test, doing everything before John's first line on this page, because I felt it was a good angry Karkat rant to try out. I did the "sock on the mic" trick, and that did cut out a lot of ambient noise, but there still seems to be some. I'll try to iron that out in further recordings. If you like this one, I've got some ideas for other Karkat speeches to try out (like his apology to Jade about the frog, or one of his arguments with himself)

I tried another reading, this time using Eridan and Kanaya's pesterlog here, with Gaunt's headset. It still keeps cutting out weirdly, though.

Man, if you could fix the mic problems, you'd be a pretty great Kanaya.

Thank you smile Maybe it's the program I'm using?

That program could end up making great Trickster voices though. My headcanon is that trickster mode sounds glitchy.

Yeah... I don't know what glitch is happening. Is there perhaps a setting on Tindeck that I might have accidentally triggered.? Because I can't even access it without downloading it.

Le sign.

I'll look over what can be done with it, and I'll make a new link when I figure it out. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Okay, so I figured out the issue on my end. I had it in the wrong format. But I got it converted to MP 3, so it's working now. Now, to see if I can link it properly. Does this work? I can get to it through that link, but it could be because I'm logged in to my account. But I'll wait to see if you guys can.
