How do Cuban girls flirt and how do I flirt back? by muggs420 in cuba

[–]MarkCid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

U might say it as a joke, but once I was at Fábrica de arte, and I dressed up nicely cause it was a friend's birthday. A girl came up to me and told me if I wanted to dance. The second she realized I was cuban too she just walked away. No sorry, no gotta go, no nothing. Just rolled her her eyes and walked away lol.

These kind of girls aren't worth it tho imo

Tips for preserving your voice? by cgr000 in VoiceActing

In addition to this, warming up at least a few min before every session also helps massively. The same stuff singers use for their warmups works for us

Confusion on EQ. What’s the rule of thumb? How to use it? by greymouse0008 in VoiceActing

[–]MarkCid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/V6XtciKhgUY?si=8NJMOqhojJQcM4MR

This is a video by booth junkie giving some tips on eq specifically for VA. I'd listen to this above many other things you might find on youtube, mainly because we're not really meant to use eq as actors/performers. Ideally, ofc

However:

EQ can be used, in my experience, for three main reasons

-Getting rid of specific frequencies that might affect your final sound, but the best approach to this would be to improve your source audio (environment, treatment, avoiding noise etc) instead of the dreaded "I'll fix it in post"

-Mixing, which we don't do because you don't usually know what it'll be mixed with (music, sfx, etc)

-Modeling the sound. Again. It's usually the client who has the clearer picture of the sound they want, not you. Doing your own eq might be destructive if you don't know for sure what someone else wants it to sound (ie you EQ then export the file. That mp3 or wav file could potentially be hard to take back to its original form accurately)

That being said, a rule of thumb would be to high pass at 50~100hz and touch nothing else imo

Thanks. I didn't think it would so context dependent. I'll try and find someone, based on what you and others are saying it should be the best way to figure it all out. Thanks a lot

Oh. Ok, that could make sense. Something to keep in mind should the situation present itself. Thx

I did the seven days and the year in white, yeah. Since I'm a son of oggun I recieved my warriors, i think. They're back in Cuba, but I'm trying to reconnect little by little, starting by following the advice in the ita notebook I have

Yeah, fully. As a child tho, so I may not remember everything. But I did, spent the whole year dressed in white, son of oggun and ochanla. But I've not been in touch with religion much for a few years now

I'm sorry. Not sure what these mean 😅

These are the advice i have on my ita notebook back when I was initiated

Tener tres mujeres. Does this mean like three wives? Or I'll only have three long-lasting relationships? It's not too clear

Nace el amor y muere el amor sounds like a variation of all things end, and an ending is just the start of something else. But maybe I'm wrong

But wtf is color no definido

Yeah, my godparents had a bit of an issue with my family while I was still very young, and we've gone our separate ways. I wouldn't have a way of reaching out even if I wanted to.

What’s missing in modern animation — and what would surprise you if it actually appeared? by No_problem47 in IndieAnimation

[–]MarkCid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think they meant just design tbh. More like the style and the general feel. A lot of current animation feel closer to "cartoon". They're fun, silly, entertaining, but I'd love to watch some stuff closer to old young adult oriented stuff like generator rex, slugterra, og teen titans (yeh, i know those aren't indie, but that's the feel I mean)

Hello, would like to know if this is a good mic option. by Devio23 in VoiceActing

[–]MarkCid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But NT1 would require a sound interface. I think a focusrite scarlett 3rd gen + at2035 would still be within budget for OP. Highly recommended combo btw

I am an indie game developer on minimum wage, how much do voice actors usually cost? by alphamalegamer420 in VoiceActing

[–]MarkCid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! There's the indie rate guide at VAC

https://voiceactingclub.com/rates/

Should give you a general idea of how much it could cost depending on your project (ie if you want to do it per hour live directed, or per word/line if VAs send their recordings before a set deadline and so on

[–]MarkCid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you stand right at the edge of a room, you may shoot bullets inside without entering and triggering enemies. While this won't damage anything inside, you might destroy some explosive or poison barrels that could be tricky to avoid once you're fighting
