Sound Pursuits...
🕑 Added 2023-03-09 06:52:39 +0000 UTCJust wanted to update everyone. Working on sound as you know. it's a bigger pursuit that I expected but still it's going well. As far as sound effects and voice I'd say I'm about, or maybe further than, half-way done. I haven't really started with music except picking one tune. However, music doesn't take much grunt-work really - it's basically just finding the right tracks to play. So I don't expect it to take that much more time once SFX and voice are complete. After reading some things about film-scoring techniques I'm scaling back music a little. originally I had some kind of music playing almost all through the VN. But after reading I've decided that some scenes just don't need music. You lean on it too much and I think it starts to lose its meaning.
A very good piece of news is that I decided to hire a voice artist to do Olivia's voice! I conducted a search of French voiceover actresses and ended up getting samples from 7 very good ones. I finally chose one whom I thing is amazing. She has an extremely sexy voice, and is extremely expressive. Some of the others I thought sounded fairly dull. She (of course!) was the most expensive of the choices, but hey it's only money, right? She's already working on completing the script I gave her. Again, I'm not providing voice for every line in the VN, but trying to ramp it up somewhat. In the end I just wasn't comfortable with no voice acting for Olivia of all people!

I'm very close to being able to pick music. I've just got a tiny number of sound effects to complete (less than 5) and should have the final voice files for Olivia tomorrow morning and one other voice actress doing a couple minor voices this weekend too. That should allow me to finish all sound except music by end-of-day Sunday!
