Blog 14: Independent Component 1

LITERAL

(a)  “I, Deanna Ponce, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work."

(b) I worked with Dean Nolan for this fandub! 

(c) Here it is!

(d)    

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!

Senior Project Update

Content:

(1) For my independent component, I have decided on working on a dub for a semi-short series called 'Lucky Channel' from the anime Lucky Star. I'm working with Dean who had gladly decided to dub with me for this series.

(2) While watching Adventures in Voice Acting, I have learned quite a few things that I didn't know. Most of the actors that talked about their role, did not expect the results of their work and in an artcle, some voice actors did not even expect the roles they were signing up for. In AiV, it stayed more on the positive side during the interviews, although I have only seen a few episodes, I expect to see more of information in other interviews in the program.

(3) I don't have any lines or videos out yet, but I will be posting videos from my channel (which will be added in later) as well as the script to the first episode located here!

1. What is your topic? Voice Acting
2. What is the driving problem behind your experiment and the quote by an expert to support that problem? (Expert citation must be MLA format.)
3. What is your hypothesis? If an actor has a higher heart rate while auditioning, then they are less likely to get their first choice role.
4. How the experiment will be taken is that the test subject will take their pulse, either by checking themselves or by a monitor while waiting for their turn (at rest?). They then will have their pulse taken after given the audition. The process will be repeated on 22 different actors during an audition to check if they have gotten a higher heart rate to show if a higher heart rate can affect a person's audition. 
5. Select one of the following Project Categories for your experiment: Behavioral/Social Science
