Chapter 217 - Shaping Characters Vocally (2/2)

Charlie was very pleased that he had found a diamond in the rough, for Meng Fan was much better than what he had expected.

The staff with the beard in charge of assisting was dumbfounded. He’s so good at recording too!

There was another video game character as well. Meng Fan analyzed the character’s background, then listened to Charlie’s introduction, and very quickly figured out the character’s uniqueness.

“I think the tone should have more warmth, it will sound better that way.”

“Alright, you try it.”

To be honest, dubbing directors usually didn’t like it when the voice actors included too much of their own thoughts. Unless you were strong enough to make the director think you were a person worthy of input.

Was Meng Fan such a person?

Evidently not.

But Charlie still listened to Meng Fan’s suggestion happily too.

Did he think Meng Fan really had the ability? Of course not. The most important thing here was Meng fan’s voice appeal. It made it easier for Meng Fan to persuade others, and his skills were also convincing.

“Are you looking for me?”

“Feng Shan? That’s where my dreams shattered.”

“Hunter, you should stop here.”

“Don’t be like this.”

“Blood makes one crazy.”

This role similarly only had ten or so lines, and it took Meng Fan less than 20 minutes to finish dubbing it. His efficiency was at an all-time high.

The voices of these roles are very similar, but Meng Fan’s interpretation of their voices outlined the distinct characteristics of both of these roles, highlighting their specialties.

Voice shaping ability!

This was the most important trait of a voice actor.

Although Meng Fan has only dubbed two roles, he has already proven to Charlie his potential.

And what shocked charlie the most was the fact that Meng Fan had no experience! But he had demonstrated his consistency in the recordings just now. The word ‘genius’ wasn’t enough to describe this!

“Meng Fan, take a break.”

Charlie waved his hand and told him to leave the studio.

‘What could be so important that he couldn’t say it through the glass? I’m still trying to meet my hours.’ Meng Fan thought.

After leaving, Charlie didn’t bring out the suitable roles for Meng Fan but went off to prepare another thorough analysis of Meng Fan. Evidently, from Charlie’s perspective, he didn’t know enough about Meng Fan through his voice clips, streams, and singing.

He was curious about what kind of tolerance Meng Fan had.

It was simple. He dug out some scripts for familiar roles and classic lines and told Meng Fan to try them out. This was to test Meng Fan’s voice shaping abilities and uncover Meng Fan’s range of characters.

After this test, Charlie was thoroughly confused.

It seems, he was suitable for all male roles!

He could tell Meng Fan’s dubbing skills were average, but he was excellent at controlling his voice.

The classic fragments of these roles couldn’t just be imitated, but it’s a skill if he can imitate all of them!

Charlie knew this as well. Meng Fan wasn’t intentionally imitating the original sound, but more so imitating the emotional expression. This was a powerful trait!

If everything was reliant on imitation, you could only host an imitation show; you can’t become a voice actor.

What was a voice actor? Using your voice to shape the character, and express emotions through your voice!

Meng Fan knew what Charlie was doing and immediately struck the iron. “Director, I’m very passionate about dubbing. If you think any roles are suitable for me, please let me know. Regardless if it’s a big role or not, even if it’s just two lines. I really enjoy the process of shaping a role through my voice.”

As he spoke, someone knocked on the door. An employee had brought some people in search of Charlie.
