Daring To Dream

Still livin’ the dream. Damn close enough to it, at least XD. Right after Yi sent me the background info, my schedule got unbelievably hectic. Great big art project due, math homework in gratuitous amounts, a 1500-word essay, a job interview, and, of course, the big brain scan.

While I’m very tempted to tell Yi to give another actress a shot, I also know that now I have much better control over my time, and I can do this.

The only problem is that Rana’s voice.

I do not have a young woman’s voice. At all. It’s “interesting” at best, but no where near “feminine”. So, without any background on doing voice-overs whatsoever, I am pretty much going into this blind and unprepared.

I know I can do this. Anyone can. But can I do it well? That’s my question to myself.

Yi said to not feel bad if I can’t do it after all, but I feel like it’s too late to back down. And the voice I need is only a few pitches higher…. Once I reach it, I’m pretty sure I’ll know why Yi decided to cast me as Rana. (CUZ I’M SERIOUSLY WONDERING, Y’KNOW?)

Anyway, I’ve been spending my alone time searching for Rana’s voice, wherever it is in my vocal chords. Recording myself, listening, re-recording, trying out the different scenes and listening to see if they’re good to go or not. I’ve started casually talking in a higher voice than usual, too, to see if that’ll help me reach Rana’s easier.

It’s all turning out to be much fun <3.

But the deadline is December 23rd, so I don’t have any time to waste.

LET’S DO THIS SHIT.

(Oh, btw, here’s a sample of me having trouble getting Rana’s voice right.)

. . . Actually, my second try sounds the most like the voice I’m trying to have down for Rana. O.O
