help!! Need a voice actor (boy voice)& Proof Reader[CLOSED]

#1 Post by justblue » Sun Dec 25, 2011 3:58 am

I have a project for a junior high school,
its about making a media to help junior high students more focus when listening to the Recount text.
this is the media,

recount beach-revised.swf [ 370.76 KiB | Viewed 1404 times ]

note that junior high school students' level in my country=4-5 graders in Native english Country.
I need voice actor for the boy, and also Proof Reader to correct the subtitle if there are any mistake.
pretty please help me with this, or at least give ConCrit :cry:

I suggest getting a woman to voice act if you can't get a young boy. There are a lot of young boys played in cartoons that are voice acted by women. (I figure, women are more likely to be on this forum than young boys, :lol: )

Some of the English is a bit awkward.
Here's my suggestion, at least:
Please note what is personal taste and what is technical.
"Last Sunday, my uncle and I went fishing at the beach." or "Last Sunday, my uncle and I went to the beach to fish." (Reason, me is grammatically incorrect and the speaker generally comes after the other people when listing like this.)
"It was my first time and I had a really awesome time." (It should be a period, not a comma, and the rest of the editing is just because it sounded awk the other way)
"I remember my uncle talking me to a good fishing spot." (this is more of personal taste, really)
"When we arrived, he taught me how to fish." or "It was there that he taught me how to fish." (same)
"After that, we threw our bait into the sea." or "After that, we cast out." (Needs a period. rest is opinion: Fishing bait is normally just called bait, and the action being done is normally called "casting out")
"As we waited for the fish to bite, we enjoyed the scenery." (could be fine the way it is, again, this is personal opinion. Please note "bite" though, as you may want to change to that anyway)
"Eventually, I got some nibbles. I was so excited! I pulled my rod, but the fish was too strong." (need a period or ! as a coma doesn't work. Need a coma after rod. The other changes are personal taste)
"My uncle helped me," (less awk, helped is also past tense, but doesn't use as much.)
I don't personally think the "..." is necessary.
"but eventually the fish escaped." (this is just taste)
"We spent more time there before we finally went home." is fine, but "We kept fishing, but eventually, we went home." works too.
"I think fishing is very fun." ("so" doesn't quite work)
could also be "I love fishing!" (I like this one more, so that's why I'm suggesting it, but yours is fine)

I loved your animations, they were very nice. The sound effects were nicely timed too.
(All projects currently on a hiatus of sorts. I blame life.)

Also, I've been hit and run posting, which means I don't see many replies. If you want to respond to something I've said, also feel free to PM me.

NOTE: if you've got questions about vnovel or things like that, it's Leon that you should be contacting. Leon's been pretty much handling everything, but due to various reasons, I've had to withdraw entirely.

No problem. :)

Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm from the United States, and there could be discrepancies between "American" and "British" English, so depending on what type of English you are using, you may have to spell certain words differently, such as "color" ("American") and "colour" (British).
