Hello. This idea was easily brought to mind because of what Crazed Ninja recently made and I thought this might be an interesting idea. Now I have never sung before, personally, but I thought I would give it a shot.
This is going to be an english dub of a song by Hyadain, in which he wrote and sang a vocal version of Four Fiends of the Elements from Final Fantasy IV, which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EupikPl_PW4
All roles should either be placed on an audio hosting website such as Putfile or E-Mailed to me at hakurodekiller@gmail.com . I will accept only mp3 recordings. Once I get at least one audition for each character in this, I will set a deadline for additional auditions. Until then, there is no deadline and no rush.
Now, for voices we'll need, here's a list of characters:
NOTE: ALL ROLES ARE SINGING ROLES EXCEPT GOLBEZ!
I will only be providing speaking roles for auditions, but if you wish to send me a singing role with it, it may improve your chances.
Scarmiglione: Myself (I feel that my voice is too high pitch to do the other characters without heavy doctoring, so I will take this character, but that's it)
Cagnazzo: TBD (I am looking for a male voice that is very deep, even when unmodified).
Line: "You may have beaten me, but I will drag you down to hell with me!"
Barbariccia: TBD (I am looking for a female voice not unlike what could be used for April May)
Line: "Oh ho ho ho! To inflict a wound on Lord Golbez... We underestimated you!"
Rubicante: TBD (I'm looking for a male voice that is deep, but not as deep as Cagnazzo)
Line: "Now, I shall heal you! Come at me with all your strength!"
Golbez: TBD (Just a minor speaking part, very deep voice, but can be modified to be so)
Line: Me? Fine then!
I want these voices as natural as humanly possible except for Golbez, who should have a slight echo to his voice.
Here are the Romaji lyrics followed by the english translation of them and I hope to alter the english lyrics so they fit the beat properly unless someone else wishes to try:

If you have a problem with my lyrics, please speak up and I may or may not take your opinions into consideration.

This is very interesting, I might consider going along with this. I'll at least do Golbez but what e-mail should I send any auds if I'll be doing this?
Well I just some auds your way for Rubicante and Golbez, hope you like them!
Received. You did Golbez very well, but to be honest, the second Rubicante recording you did it is very hard to hear what you are singing. Then again, my lyrics might also be minorly flawed as well. But as far as I am concerned, your Golbez is Spot-on.
EDIT: Also, since this project isn't exactly getting the greatest hype in the world, I'm going to host auditions for this on the Voice Acting Club as well.
Well thank you, but it might be due to things like my microphone. (Its a decent at best little thing, one of these days I should probably get a better one that hopefully won't cost me an arm and a leg. The only reason why I haven't already is because money is a bit tight and the thing still works.) IF Necessary I could do re-does on Rubicante but thanks for the praise on Golbez. Though yeah some of the lyrics did feel slightly difficult to work with but nothing I can't REALLY work with.
Oh yeah and good idea on trying to go for the VAC, I would also like to recommend the Voice Acting Alliance as well at http://www.voiceactingalliance.com. That would definitely help as well...
Edit: Oh BTW I now know that I got the role of Golbez, thanks and I confirm.
But some parts are so crammed in! I'm trying to sing Barbariccia's lines and they absolutely don't all fit.
For example, "totally naked" doesn't flow right. And the next line after "lovin' girls"x2 is waaay too crammed, same with the next line. Is it alright for me to offer suggestions? ( Which I'm about to do without waiting for an answer. )
Sorry if it subracts from the direct meaning, but when it comes to music, you sometimes have to sacrifice meaning for flow. I apologize if I'm out of line or anything...
Tornado, Tornado! You may know me as a storm god, showin' off my bod Lovin' girls! Lovin' girls! Don't let any guy touch me, NO! NO! Sandy, Cindy, Mindy- Wear your skirts, girls, it's gonna be windy!
Sorry if it seems like I'm nitpicking, but I feel some changes are needed.
Hmm.... I would try to do this because my Rubicante voice is alright but I got no way to record it at all...*Continues to practice but messes up witht the beat alot...* And will the dub be going to the anime version or orignal? I prefer the anime one more but....
Also, Are you going to use the voice that already announces the characters?
Thank you Delsy for the Awesome Game Over Sig! If you're still here, I still love it!
I can do Rubicante pretty well.. But his part is indeed too long to say in a single breath. Would we be able to record single lines of it at a time? Or do we have to say the entire thing in a single breath? (Also, for the Barbariccia lines, the "wear your skirts" part doesn't seem to go with the rythem too well.. But it is shorter, and easier to speak, I agree.)
Also, we shouldn't sacrifice too much translation for rythem.. I know rythem is of course important, but turning the translation into something that is only partially the same as the original would obviously be going too far.(I'm trying to think of how to rephrase Rubicante's lines to make them a bit more rythem friendly, but keep them close to their original meanings.)
I could also do Cagnazzo fairly.. But I have to drop my voice down a bit to do so.(It's hard keeping it dropped down too low for long periods of time, so I'm hoping that we can indeed just record single lines at a time, lol.)
Edit: Here's what I've come up thus far for Rubicante, lyrics wise.
"Ah Rubican, Rubican, Rubicante the Fire, Weak to Water." "Gentlemen Gentlemen, Fairly we shall Fight." "My Voluptuous Bare Leg, So Charming, and Fluttering, I see you trying to catch a glimpse."
You've got a good point there... I don't know a thing about audio editing, so is it pssible to remove the original voices without damaging the song itself?
I see what you mean with the partial-translation. ._.
... I also want to express my love for "I see you trying to catch a glimpse".
Heh, thanks? Unless thats sarcasm, in which case, DOOM UNTO YOU!(Joking.)
But ya, I'm certain we could keep the text fairly matching to the original translation that was offered in the video, while still keeping it fairly matching with the rythem.(I hadn't considered trying to work on any of the other Four Fiend's lyrics, but eh, might as well give it a shot.)
I'll start working on Cagnazzo and Barbariccia's lyrics, I hope you guys will gimme a hand with this too. (I wonder where the author of this thread is any way? I havent seen him post in here for ages.)
Any who, I've come up with lyrics for Cagnazzo and Barbariccia. I stole the first line from your idea, Meg.=P (It just fit so nicely.. Couldn't help but leave it there, hope you don't mind.^^; )
Barbariccia's Lyrics.
"Tornado, Tornado, you may know me as a storm god, showin off my bod." "Lovin' Girls, Lovin' Girls, Never even glance at guys, NO NO!" "Cindy, Mindy, Sandy, wonder which I'll keep handy to play with today?"
And heres Cagnazzo's, hoping they didn't come out too bad.
Cagnazzo's Lyrics.
"Tsunami, Tsunami, Cagnazzo the Living Tsunami." "Turtle Man with a Blue Body that holds the Jealousy of Commander Desler." "My smooth bald head is shiney with water as always."
Was difficult trying to keep Cagnazzo's lyrics in rythem.. I'm still trying to work on his, but I think Barbariccia's came out alright. What do you guys think?
But spoofs aside, we still need to finish working on making the lyrics rythem matching, while keeping them in context. And, it seems like there has been quite a drop in activity here.. 'm hoping the project hasn't been abandoned
I'm rather occupied with other things at the moment. I will need another day or two to be back up to speed with everything since I am still quite drained from Portcon.
I will make the following statements, however:
-You can use your own lyrics as long as they remotely relate to what's being sung in japanese.
-Send auds to me and I'll figure things out.
-If you want to, you can try writing some lyrics for Scarmiglione.
-I am a terrible project manager, so if anyone is getting irate with the speed, feel free to take the reins as I do get intimidated a little easily when I am in a high ranking position like a project manager. This is why I try to stay low on the ladder or do solo projects.
