Re: Scripts and Ideas!~
What could work is opening your mouth wide when you try to do a girl's voice, something I've noticed about my self is that the wider I open my mouth the higher I can get my voice. the more closed my mouth is the deeper it will get.ryou419 wrote:the thing is my voice is way to deep to imitate a girls voice, and the series we were planning to do was either Vampire Knight or Aoi No Exorcist.... so, irony is now at play.
cause Ik how it is man I have a smexeh man voice to, but you gotta play with your voice you'd be surprised by what comes out.
But I don't know what your trying to do with the character so that might not be the best idea

But in all seriousness, I think anything can be made funny, it just depends on skill level. Though I don't really much see the point in doing shows like Ouran, but that just might be me.
I am hoping to see a parody of Ao No Exorcist, as I haven't found or been linked to one yet.
I did one once. However the other guy behind the series and I aren't really mates anymore...

I don't mean to sound harsh, but this was perfect in every way and nothing will ever compare. I think I'm just done watching videos because I know I'll never see something this good again, not even from its creator. That being said, I'll actually watch the video tomorrow, when I have more time.

Atticus? Are you the same Atticus from To Kill a Mockingbird?

i've always thought it'd be hilarious to throw a character into a series that always references disney song titles without meaning to

Apparently references are supposed to be a bad thing. No matter what.
I say screw that I want references.

Depends on your audience and what type of reference it was. No one is going to get it if I kept throwing Willie Denton jokes around.

I agree with this point especially. Back when I was asking some friends for advice on abridging, he said, "Put a ton of references in." But, the comedy needs to stay fresh. I can only make so much gagging noises on Saki before it gets old.

Re: Scripts and Ideas!~
Right now, I'm writing a script for an abridgement of Spirited Away.
I'm planning to use mostly Australian themes, voices in characters and such, because there isn't goddamn enough of our culture on YouTube (apart from heavyset kids responding to bullying LIKE A BOSS~). Still unsure if there will be any slightly racist jokes or not; I'm not out to offend, merely to entertain. And yes, there will be bogans. And wogs. Fully sick, braaa~

Out of all, I think motivation is also a big part. Without it you wont go anywhere.
I've seen many abridged series where they go 1 or 2 episodes then they give up or go on a infinite hiatus.

We were going to meet the same fate, but you pushed the project. It was smooth sailing after you picked me up, other then fining new VA's for everyone but Khota and Takashi from that point.

Re: Scripts and Ideas!~
Okay, so I'm writing this script, and it's not very funny. In fact, after rereading it, I don't think it's funny at all.
I don't want specific joke recommendations, just advice -
How do I actually get funnier?
(Serious question, by the way.)

Do the unexpected! have a guy go up to a girl, he says "hey" and she says "hey" but in a super manly voice! and as creeped out as he is he still thinks "I'm gonna marry her someday"

I didn't accuse you of anything. That's why I said "NEVER" right? Wow, put a little formatting on some text and this is what happens? TT^TT

Re: Scripts and Ideas!~
Here's an interesting one:
Swap the voices of the male and female characters.
i.e. Have female VAs voicing male characters, in typically feminine voices, and vice versa. Really mess with people's minds, maybe even throw in an underlying social commentary or something (e.g. maybe make the audience think "How is my opinion different on these characters because they sound like the other gender? Do I respect them more/less?")
...High school has ruined me. ._.
