I HAVE PHOTOSHOP!!! (About time! XD)

Tue Nov 24, 2009, 11:24 PM
After months of babbling, bootless hoping, useless daydreaming, and fantastically terrible folderols, I am now EUPHORIC to say that I FINALLY have photoshop! :D It's not the version that I wanted, but I know that I can get along with it nicely, or even better!!! :iconimhappyplz: That is if I get used to using it... :O

I've been tinkering with it for a while now... It's still gonna be a long time for me to use it as effectively as the program I use now (Flash). And I've also discovered that making things there in photoshop might theoretically be more time consuming than flash. But I really wanted to get that program for a long time since I've seen SPECTACULAR photoshop art around here and there. As for now... I need to know HOW to use it effectively. Anybody willing to give me some tips, methods, and all of that with accordance to using Photoshop? :D I'm primarily having major trouble with lines (surprisingly, the lines in photoshop aren't as good as Flash's :O), and even more with coloring (DANG!!!!! How do I color with it!?!?!?!). Maybe it has things to do with layers, but yeah, I'm still having some difficulty with it. But I hope that I can succeed on finally using an art program that I've wanted to use for AGES!!! :iconcrosswalledplz:

PS: About our school... it turns out that this quarter is the shortest quarter of all. And that's maybe the reason why me and my classmates are busy, since we have to make the ENTIRE quarter's progress in about 4-5 weeks, and with 2 weeks remaining. I'm not complaining though since I can handle it, AND MY COUSINS FROM AUSTRALIA ARE COMING HERE TO THE PHILIPPINES THIS DECEMBER 14!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE THEM AGAIN!!!!! :iconcrosswalledplz: It's been four years after all! :D

So I heard you were auditioning as Crash for Paige's movie? Nice!! You should send me voice samples, though I myself have an undeveloped voice, I have a pretty good idea what kind of voice would suit Crash :D

Dear son, why dost thou hide in a corner weep thyself to a stupor? Why hast thou lost hope in life? Stand up, my son, and have faith, for the sun shall always shine on thou who believes

:D (Chant those words whenever you get suicidal tendencies)

Well, I've already auditioned as Crash several months ago but Paige decided to hold her plan of animating TSB back then. Here's a [link] to Paige's video where she's practicing mouth movements. She took the liberty of using my audition clips for it. Oh, do you think that I sound like Sora from Kingdom Hearts on that vid? :XD:

Never played KH, so I couldn't tell... ^^; The voicing was pretty good, and I could see your effort in it, but maybe you should put in more of your natural voice 'cause that high-tone voice seemed pretty forced to me (no offense, but I say that because it never changes tone or adjusts to the emotion needed for the entire minute, and 'cause you had to stop alot mid-sentence ^^;) Now that Paige's practicing to raise their age levels to a more mature range, I'd say you should start practicing on using your natural voice so you can easily adjust to the emotions required (from what I know about Crash from my time playing, he's a pretty wacky and bipolar guy like Kefka, and Paige adjusted him to show more of his sensitive side so that means you have to have a constantly shifting voice pitch that can show his funny, energetic and dramatic, melancholic sides) :)

BTW a neat trick I learned from watching an animated movie's Behind-the-scenes, since no one's really gonna watch you WHILE doing the voice (unless you send a video of you VA-ing, which would be very awkward :lol:), you should add some facial expressions and hand-body movements while doing the voice to get more into the scene and get the feel, as though you ARE Crash Bandicoot, and try saving archives of one line done in different ways for comparison :D

Hope it helps, though I'm really knowledgeable in this area anymore ^^; But I still have taste for all art (eg. when I watch a movie, I judge every art from graphics to voice acting to music to theme to pacing and transition to the acting itself) which I'll use to help you :)

I've never played KH either. But I was kinda surprised when somebody told me that I sound like Sora! :XD: Anyways, I see what you mean! :D I'll try to use my natural voice more! :D Although... I do have an embarrassing confession... ^^; I sometimes have the inability to control my voice. :XD: I know, it sounds kinda weird, but it's true! Whenever I'm in certain situations, my brains stops functioning and TONS of things are affected, including my voice. I'm like that for some reason... :iconthinkingplz: Maybe because it's stage fright, even in my own room :XD:. But yeah, I'll do my best to overcome my brain's stupidity :D. And yeah, I tried to do that but since that's my first time voice acting, I wasn't able to get it right yet. But yeah, don't worry, I use that trick. :D And thanks for the advice!!! :hug::tighthug::icongwomp::tighthug::hug:
