Everything should play on its own. If you want to skip my rambling and get straight to my attempt at the challenge, press s. Voice Acting Challenge by @pokemon44 Try this challenge out yourself if you like! (Just be sure to give me credit for the idea). If you try out this challenge, it is preferred that you remix this, delete my recordings, and add your own so that I am more likely to see it! The basis of this challenge is to come up with a list of fictional characters that are in your voice range (so for me, I picked a ton of female characters of all ages and young male characters) and either put the names of the characters into a hat or a random name picker. Allow chance to pick at least 5 characters for you. It is recommended that you pick only characters with either no canon voice or characters that you have not heard the canon voice of for your list so that you are not tempted to imitate the canon voice. If you do choose a character with a canon voice, try to come up with your own version for it. It is also recommended that you choose a few characters that are in your comfort zone and a few characters that are not in your comfort zone to give yourself more of a challenge. With the characters that were picked at random from your list, find around 3 quotes from the character and record the lines (or you can do less if one of the quotes is very long). Try to create a voice that matches the character without imitating someone else's portrayal and try to give the best line delivery possible. This exercise will help any voice actor learn to step out of their comfort zone, explore new ways to change their voice, and learn to voice new personality types. If you for some reason can't find quotes for a character, either skip that character or improvise by making your own quotes that you think the character would say.
This is my journey of completing my very own, original voice acting challenge! I put down a total of 70 characters and I used a random name picker to pick out the 10 characters from my list that you see here. Some of these characters were in my comfort zone, while some where totally out of my comfort zone. It was definitely interesting to see how this went. These are characters that got picked for me: - Cody Hackins (Ace Attorney) - Pam (Stardew Valley) - Maya Fey (Ace Attorney) - Queen Nee (Castle Swimmer) - Mia Fey (Ace Attorney) - Aryll (Wind Waker) - Alita Tiala (Ace Attorney) - April May (Ace Attorney) - Lana Skye (Ace Attorney) - Lotta Hart (Ace Attorney) Some of them went well, some of them went ok, and some of them went horribly wrong. I mostly ended up with Ace Attorney characters, but that's likely because most of my list was Ace Attorney ahaha. If you have any questions on how this challenge works, just let me know and I'll be glad to answer! All I own is this challenge idea and my voice!
