Chapter 224: Trying Female Voices
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
[Professional Manga Artist] required the completion of two tasks. One was to sell 100,000 copies, and the other was to publish ten single volus.
As for sales, with “There’s A Spirit Underground” skyrocketing, ng Fan didn’t have to count on “Guide to Campus RoMANce” anymore. He just needed the experience from publishing the three individual volus.
“Why are you in such a rush?” Qin Jiao asked. “Alright. I’ll take them over for you now, but since you’re here, don’t expect to leave so fast.”
She clapped her hands and called everyone over, temporarily arranging a manga tutorial class with ng Fan as the instructor.
When he finished the lecture, Qin Jiao had returned just in ti to eat.
“Everything went smoothly, and I’ve brought the contract as well.”
ng Fan received the contract Qin Jiao handed him and asked her where to sign before putting down his na without even reading the contract.
Although he always spoke of Qin Jiao trolling him, he trusted her with this kind of task. He also believed Qin Jiao would try to find him the most profitable solution.
Qin Jiao took back the signed contract, grumbling. “I’ve beco your secretary.”
ng Fan chuckled. He didn’t have the balls to make any secretary related jokes with Qin Jiao.
Seeing there was nothing left for him to do, ng Fan left Da i studio. He wanted to go ho but still ended up wandering to Chocolate Factory, which was nearby. Maybe he could pick up a few roles.
“Iron god!”
The big bearded Lou Lan’s eyes lit up when he saw ng Fan arrive. He pulled ng Fan indoors as he said, “You ca at a good ti. There’s an ergency!”
“What’s the situation?”
ng Fan imdiately knew it had sothing to do with voice acting. Could this be the taphysics of 1 luck?
“It’s like this. There’s a group of voice acting commissions that I accepted, basically so soundtracks for characters for a mobile ga. I’ve already submitted my recording several days ago, but today the opposite party called and said that for so unforgiving reason, the demos for the characters can’t be reviewed, and they are telling to redo them.” Lou Lan dragged ng Fan into an empty recording studio. “Although they are paying more, the ti limit is very tight, and if I don’t finish this, I won’t get the final paynt. The contractor doesn’t make sense, but I have no choice!”
He poured a glass of water for ng Fan. “Before, the recordings were done by a group of CVs I gathered, but I don’t have the ti to gather everyone now! I don’t know what to do, but thank god you ca. Are you sure you weren’t sent by God? You have to help !”
“Are there a lot of roles?”
ng Fan’s eyes lit up.
Lou Lan saw ng Fan’s expression and felt his heart rate calm down. “There are quite a few roles, nine of which that require a male voice. You should be okay to do them all.”
It was easy to analyze the roles, for each one contained an introduction in addition to the lines.
ng Fan took a look. “Alright, let’s begin.”
“Alright!”
Lou Lan didn’t need to find an assistant or a director. In the last few days, he had been entranced by ng Fan’s dubbing skills, so he didn’t give him any critique.
Since he was the one who took the job, Lou Lan could only act as the assistant, even though the commission was for the studio.
ng Fan gestured an “OK” sign with his hands and entered his zone, starting to record for the first role.
This was a romantic style mobile ga. The script was a bit cringey, so it wasn’t hard to understand why the original script had been censored, but ng Fan still felt the current script was still very dangerous.
Although he didn’t have the complete description of the ga, he could tell based on the clips that it was a rather roughly made mobile ga. He guessed that the soundtrack must have been the highlight of the ga.
“You’re not a human. You’re a love letter sent to from this earth.”
“I’ve been frozen on this earth for decades just so I can look back and see you.”
“What I want is simple. Ti exists, so you exist.”
“When you’re here, you’re my everything; when you’re not here, everything is you.”
“Everywhere you go, the city rains, just like how I think of you everywhere I go.”
These mushy lines were considered not bad. There were so provocative ones that couldn’t even be described.
“Ding!”
After ng Fan finished about five characters, the alert finally went off in his mind for completing task phase 2 of [Studio Bug].
Before this, ng Fan had already completed 47 roles, while phase 2 required 50. Basically, out of these last 5 roles, the System had accepted 3. ng Fan didn’t know if it was because the other two would be censored and was deed unusable.
After completing [Studio Bug] task phase 2, he received 50 points and 1 voice acting skills.
The 4 remaining roles were completed quickly. This round went better; he gained 3 experience out of the 4.
“Done?”
“Done!”
Lou Lan looked at the ti. He was no longer shocked by ng Fan’s god-like efficiency. He gave him a thumbs up and said, “Incredible! That’s what Director Charlie said upon hearing all the applications you gave him including auditions for male leads, and he almost missed the goldmine you turned out to be. I’m still curious what you sound like when you play a male lead though, but now I can say I’ve seen it all. It feels like you can just about dub all the popular male lead styles on the market right now!”
It was true. The roles that ng Fan just dubbed were all different types of males created by ga makers for girls. There were all kinds of tropes, like the mature type, elegant, sunny, warm, overpowering… And the skills ng Fan just showcased provided full coverage for all of these personalities!
And Lou Lan knew that once he submitted this task, it wouldn’t be any worse than the voices of the protagonists beforehand. At least in terms of emotional expression, ng Fan was surely the winner.
ng Fan walked out of the studio while smiling. “Next ti you have these kinds of jobs, please call .”
“Okay. Oh right, this listing is from the company, so you’d get paid through them as well.”
ng Fan nodded but then asked curiously, “Didn’t you say there’s a female voice that needed to be recorded? Did you find soone?”
Lou Lan smiled bitterly. “I’ve contacted two, but they canceled in the last minute.” Suddenly, he stared at ng Fan. “Uhm, Iron god, would you by any chance want to try voicing a female character?”
In voice acting, it was way too common for females to dub male characters. Like animations and video gas, where many male characters are voiced by females. But for a male to dub a female character… There were a few but very little.
Mostly, people just did it for fun. As for comrcial voice-overs, there were very few, at least in Huaxia. There were a few well-known guys who did it in Japan, though.
However, they were done by people who had a naturally mid-tone and trosexual voice that was more feminine. But for ng Fan’s masculine voice to dub a female character, even if she was the rough and burly kind, Lou Lan had never heard of such a job.
“Either way you can’t find soone, so I’ll help you test it.”
ng Fan was ready to give up everything for so experience.
After the singing skill attribute brought him an enhanced sound range, better sound quality, tone, and control, ng Fan did not cease to practice in private.
Humans were naturally curious, and when ng Fan had already dominated the male vocal range, of course, he would think of trying out so female roles.
Especially after receiving all these voice acting attributes. Strictly speaking, ng Fan went in harboring a curious mindset for the spirit of exploration and had indeed tried out so female roles in private. Like so lolitas, domineering seductress, queens… He had tried them all.
As for the result… Well, at least it was better than a voice changer.
He counted it as dedicating his ‘voice’ to the arts.
