Topic: Castlevania: Umbra of Sorrow (1999 Fan Project)

[theplottwist]

I finally had the time today to listen to the mp3.
OMG! It's amazing! I need more~ I'm a sucker for drama cds.

I'll take that as a compliment 

I'm hyped for a Drama, BUT we may end up getting something even better 

Oh was this the one that we talked about before? or you've added more stuff to it?

It's the same we talked before BUT I made it more believable now. Nothing has changed besides how Charlotte will explain this on the story.

Previously was like:
"Oh well, I started researching and I am such a good researcher I came up with this all by myself."

Now it's more like:
"Oh well, Alucard had this research stopped/stumped. I checked it and knew he was on to something, so I used my genius to finish it, and I discovered the answer."

Charlotte is the genius on a puzzle Alucard couldn't crack both for mental and physical limitations, instead of a genius OUT OF THE BLUE.

hahaha. Like an actual playable game X years in the future.....

Ah yes, that makes things better.

Well, it shouldn't be me to be thanking you, but thank you!

I hope to find here more actors to help in this endeavour -- including actresses! This project has a fair share of female characters, so talented women will be needed.

*Rubs hands together in glee*  This really is growing into a superb fan project that I bet Iga would love.  I'm going to PM you.

I suddenly feel oddly tempted to post the pompous British Olrox reading. I have no idea why.

Not a good idea to leak the script so early, dude u_u

Maybe do a reading of something else in the voice?  Say... some lines from a game he's in?

THAT SCENE WASN'T FINALIZED ANDST THOU KNOWETH IT

THAT SCENE WASN'T FINALIZED ANDST THOU KNOWETH IT

I don't want people to know what Olrox has to say yet because the lines give exactly the idea. Even though the lines are not yet polished, they are nearly finalized and this might step on spoiler territory.

Though, if you wish to interpret Olrox, you can read one of his lines from the Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku novel. Specifically one where I took inspiration from:

(click to show/hide)

“It was within my assumption that you would be resurrected but... I wasn’t expecting that you would be like your old self. Now that the castle has lost its dark lord, I thought that your soul was driven out of chaos as a magical beast, but, was it because of my haste that this happened?” Olrox spoke with a tinge of admiration [for Death].

Another line of his:

(click to show/hide)

“Oh Death, there is no need to be so loyal and respectful to that dead human, right?... Oops, he was not human, he was somehow a vampire.”
With Olrox’s provocation, Death just kept silent and asked about his attitude.

If you interpret these ones as you did the ones you saw for Umbra, you'll be pretty much spot on for the tone.

Though I must warn everyone reading this that Olrox is still open for a voice actor -- but he'll have to follow more or less on Drac9's path, since the tone he set for Olrox follows his personality very closely, if not perfectly.

I'm actually reading his conversation with Death as I type this.

Done. (>inb4 Seraph kills me for faking a British dialect badly)

Edit: I swear I keep unintentionally channelling Varys from Game of Thrones with this voice (it's more obvious in the reading Plot doesn't want shared, though).

Very nice, D9!

Actually, I love it!  It fits Olrox very well imo    *Applauds*  It's making me think of Charles Dance, actually, with a touch of BBC English.  And why-ever would I kill you for faking a British accent?   

[Dracula9]

Can't hear anything over the sound of me gushing like a madman for being even remotely compared to Charles Dance.

clap clap clap clap

Oooohhhh~ It was so good!
I am now hoping for an audio book of Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku. hahahaha.

[Dracula9]

It wouldn't have been possible without your translation, so really pat yourself on the back.
