Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

(1) I plan on making a voice reel for two or three characters. The three characters(the type of characters will be posted soon. (: ) I plan on working on developing them on a starter line from the first time attempting their voice until they're perfected on their final line.
(2) Taking time to develop and form three characters are kind of hard. I'm going to try to form three different characters that contrast each other. It gives me more time to try to form separate characters and spend time with each of them to make them better within each time they're looked at.
(3) My EQ is about how to develop a character voice and you can't really develop a voice if you don't actually try to develop it. I think that this independent component will help me better answer my EQ because I'm trying to find the answer by going through some of the steps that I have found  in my research.

INTERPRETIVE 

As shown in a post made earlier, I had to type out the script after searching for various scenes that seemed fun to work with, but simple enough to get the job done.  

APPLIED

It helped me understand how to use your voice and how effective it can be when trying to deliver a line and give it your best without being on the screen. It can show you how you can become best friends with your mouth and trying to see what characters are easy enough to perform and what types of characters you can play. (obviously, this taught me that voicing a high-pitch character wasn't exactly my cup of tea.)

Hiya! Just posting a current update from working on my fandub.

It's a collaboration with Dean, so after getting in his lines, I started working!

I don't really know to really update this, so I'm going to post screecaps from my computer.

Like I said before, right after I got Dean's lines in, I hopped on to begin chopping away his lines.

See? There are his lines!

And now they're chopped because I like the organization!

After getting that all out of the way, I have started editing in his lines! All there is left is to edit in mine and add in the music!
