Chapter 648: Completion
On Friday night, Meng Huo fulfilled his words.
This time, not only Alice was the one who came to listen to his voiceover, but the teachers also had supper early to come to the office to listen to Meng Huo's new voice over to Tieria in the control room.
"Why do I think it sounds like yesterday?"
"The pronunciation has changed, but it feels similar. Teacher He Xi is really a waste of time."
As the employees in the control room said this, he did not notice that the dubbing had made great progress, and he felt that it was unnecessary. However, the teachers of the office listened to it for ten minutes, but when they left, they all had strange expressions.
"How is this sound?" Alice smiled at the teachers outside the door of the recording studio: "He actually found the problem himself... I think the sound is much more natural now, but it doesn't sound much better than yesterday."
Meng Huo's voice changed. Now the voice he used made Alice sound very comfortable. It was a pronunciation based on him. Although it was still ventriloquy, the stiffness that seemed a bit stencil-like has disappeared.
Unfortunately, although the change is huge, Alice has the same view as other employees in the control room. Compared with yesterday, today's recording sounds similar to that of yesterday, and it is difficult to tell which one is better and which one is worse.
"No, Alice, that's not what he said..." Several teachers looked at each other a few times, and then smiled: "We all think that Teacher He Xi's voice is much better now than yesterday. It can be said that it's just a matter of two people."
Alice was surprised: "What do you say?"
"Yesterday was an imitation, today was an essential performance, the only difference is expressiveness."
A teacher said. They thought He Xi's ventriloquy had been completely changed, even essentially. The reason why people didn't think it was better than yesterday. It was just because of the difference in expression.
This principle is very simple. It can be used to imitate a familiar person's speech, theoretically, it can be completely copied, because you can use the other person's already formed tone, speaking speed, pronunciation weight, etc....
"That was the case with Teacher He Xi yesterday." The teacher said: "He is very smart and grasps all the elements of that voice together, but because he pays too much attention to copying these things, the words are very unnatural and contrary to his own characteristics. That is why we can hear the sense of incongruity."
"Fortunately, this sense of incongruity has disappeared today..."
He Xi's pronunciation has changed, and what has changed is his voice. He is now dubbing Tieria in a new voice, but he has not yet formed the tone and pronunciation style of this new voice. He is still exploring, wanting to incorporate his characteristics into the new voice.
In this process of fusion, the expressiveness is naturally not as good as yesterday's voice.
"Changing the voice is not an easy thing." The teacher who talked to Alice finally said: "Even if the same tone is expressed in a new voice, it will take some time to experiment... Teacher He Xi is now his unique voice. As long as it is shaped, it can shine."
“Speed up…”
Alice frowned. She didn't feel it just now, but now when she heard the teachers' words, she suddenly realized that Meng Huo had a good foundation. He could be compared with yesterday's dubbing without adapting to the new way of speaking, and even made the employees think that the two dubbings were not much different.
There is only one explanation here: Meng Huo's new voice is very charming, so charming that it can make up for the difference between the expressiveness of another voice. If he can really use this voice skillfully and display it, it would be no exaggeration to say that it is brilliant.
"So, should I design a training plan for him?" Alice's eyes lit up. Since Meng Huo had found his own voice, if he had undergone professional training, he should be able to discover his abilities faster!
"Don't worry!" Several teachers waved their hands at the same time and said, "You ask Teacher He Xi to explore it yourself. If we train, it will make him lose his true nature. His sensitivity to voice is no less than that of us... This is better than you."
When they heard He Xi say they wanted to delete the dubbing yesterday, these teachers were shocked. He Xi actually realized that he had his own problems. This was something that no one expected because the parties involved are often the hardest people to see through the real ones.
He Xi was able to detect the problem, which means that he was very sensitive to voice, and Alice and Shen Jie might not be able to compare with him.
"It should be said that he is a piano player. Teacher He Xi has a special sense of voice..."
"But this is also natural. After years of composing and playing the piano, the sensitivity of the sound must be high. Shen Jie and Xia Chuan are really the people he excavated... Alice, you may be really not as sharp as him in this regard."
Alice was hit by what the teachers said.
Meng Huo is the one she led into the musical path. It's okay to have the talent of composing and piano. This kind of sensitivity to sound is not a talent, but something shaped by long-term experience. Meng Huo actually surpassed her?
Alice was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't show it. After sending these teachers away, Alice returned to the recording studio. Meng Huo's recording just ended. He looked much better than yesterday, at least he didn't say he wanted to delete the dubbing.
However, when Alice told Meng Huo that the dubbing of the first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 had been completed, he was still surprised: "I'm the last one?"
"The holiday will be on tomorrow. Who are you not the last one?" Alice gave him a blank look. Other voice actors had finished their work during the day. If Meng Huo had not been to dubbing tonight, she would have sent all the finished products to Sakura Company.
Fortunately, with Meng Huo's voiceover and the voice actor problem was solved, there was no suspense that the first episode of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" was premiered on time.
"The animation time is half a year, and you have to come here to record every week in the future." When sending Meng Huo away, Alice reminded: "This is your new job. You'd better make a plan and stabilize the recording time of each week at the same time."
Meng Huo nodded. He was very busy at work, but recording the animation was unexpectedly simple. As long as you don’t make mistakes in the process, the recording time is also very fast. It will be enough to take an hour every week to the office.
"Be careful not to catch a cold. If you have other throat inflammation, you must notify me in time." Alice reminded again that for voice actors, voice maintenance is very important. If there is a voice problem, it will directly affect the quality of the animation.
However, Meng Huo didn't care about this at all. He has not been sick once since his debut. (To be continued...)
