In the end though I decided to leave today's song musicless, so the viewer could choose their own accompaniment. I want to say, not really knowing this play, I was absolutely knocked for six by this act. I love it. I love it so much I used a Vonnegut quote for the title. I love it so much I put Yondu in it.
I am absolutely enjoying the sound effects, so please don't take this as some kind of disincentive for you to keep adding them in (besides, I'll freely admit I know absolutely zero about editing, myself) but I just thought I'd let you know the otherwise brilliant rain sound effect might have been just the tiniest bit too loud if compared to your own voice. (Although, to be fair, it works much better when I listen on my laptop rather than on my phone - no sure why. Might also work better on different earphones, who knows.)
ReplyDeleteNo idea if you're taking questions about the making of this Shakespearean project of yours, so feel free to ignore the following - but I was wondering, given how much more significant your performance is (different voices, facial expressions, and so on) when reading a play with multiple characters rather than, say, Defoe's Journal, how do you prepare for that? Did you sit down and plan different voices for each of the characters? Are you reading act by act, or did you read the entire play first, and then decided how to go about performing it in front of the camera? And just how different is this from, a) reading Defoe's Journal, or prose in general b) performing on stage along with other actors?
(As I said, please feel free to pretend I never asked, and thanks again for your much appreciated videos. I hope you are indeed doing tremendously.)
I'm afraid there's more rain in Act 5. But it is a pain to do. In fact that's one of the things I was tweaking (see next post). Totally taking questions. I think I might answer them in a post Saturday.
