I'm familiar with the Poppy franchise, but I don't know the voices, nor can I speak on how close to the original you are and whatnot. That said, I enjoyed the choice you made.

These are small nit picks that might be down to the lack of a proper mic (as you said) so just keep an ear out for things like this. There were some words that weren't as clear to me but in a session you have a director that can either guide you there or you can ask if you aren't sure yourself. Your ad-libs are nice, but be mindful that if they aren't scripted (in this case there was no caption for your "huh" and sigh when the creature stood up) some directors may not want that. Not a big deal at all but something to keep in mind. You can always work that kind of thing out with a director, too.

Your timing was good, too, which is important in dubbing. Did you record alongside the video or did you use any software to line your audio up? Generally, in a dubbing session, you don't have to be perfect, per se, but having the general timing of the lines down is enough for an engineer to nudge your audio in place. It's helpful to have a natural sense of that rhythm.

Nice. Yeah, that's fine. In the few dubbing sessions I have done, they were remote, so an engineer would have to account for the lag. I don't think games are typically dubbed over so you don't have to worry about lip flaps there. On an anime or cartoon, that's something to consider. That would be my recommendation for stepping up your practicing.

Oh no, I meant, to try with an anime clip or cartoon to practice matching mouth flaps. For dubbing, you'll always have a video to reference when reading lines.

@crisp thorn here this is even before the poppy clip

Nice! So if I was directing this scene, here's some notes I'd give.

On vocal direction, I think your voice works well for this character, but I'd want you to give me more. Not only are you about to kill this person, but you're insulting them for good measure. You're toying with them. I would love to hear more of that evil excitement as you're calling him dirty. Your last line, "Goodbye.." was good, though! I would even throw in a laugh ad lib if the director was open to it. Really have fun with it!

On timing, The first line was spot on. The second line had a good start but slowed down on "tastes horrible," which threw off your third line. I think the rhythm of the third line would have been good had the second line been on time. In a session, I'd have you re-do all three for continuity but adjust your timing on line two to make it all fit. Depending on the director/engineer, they may even have you pick up on line two.

Keep it up! If you have the means, you should consider an ADR class to get a better idea on how a session would run. It's different from doing it on your own, but it sounds like you might be able to get the hang of it quick.

Thank you so much for all the advices.
What is an ADR class ?

#

ADR is the technical name for dubbing. Phebe from Very Berry Studios who runs the server here offers a virtual class where you learn the basics of how a dubbing session works as well as practicing with a selection of scripts.

#

Classes like that will cost money, but the rates here are pretty good.
