Sonic Universe Issue 72 COMIC DRAMA ''Spark Of Life'' Part 2

[@SMTH_After_All]

"As Long as they're nice, I don't care what they are" and "My turn to drive!" are Big's best moments. X3 Big's slow nature may be annoying at times but it's moments like those that make me love Big instead of hate. Great job with the dub! I really felt for little Sally when she was all alone and Nicole couldn't do anything at the moment.

[@landonvandop1875]

Big just needs a good script to work with. Otherwise, he can be either annoying or creepy.

Outstanding performance, Tasha! You keep on inspiring me more and more! And I just love how Kovabomb voice PHAGE, LOL! What a performance that was! XD Along with Elson, he was great as Dr. Ellidy! Oh! And lets not forget about the rest of the cast including yourself. You guys did awesome! :) I sure can't wait for SU 73! ^^

[@donniegirl12]

Thank you, Evelyn! Yeah, Kova is perfect for Phage me thinks XD I'm really pleased you enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to starting on SU 73!

[@shadow4one]

donniegirl12 You're welcome, Tasha. ^^

[@TheMajinV]

Fantastic job on everything, Tasha! Great job by the cast, and your comic dramas only seem to be getting better and better with each release. This was a nice unwind from work and before I start my final leg of work on Mega Man 42! Can't wait for SU 73 from you!

Ok, whoever did Dr. Ellidy's voice is absolutely amazing!!!!! I love this too much. Please tell me there is more to come, it's too awesome!

Reminds me of Master Splinter of the 2003 TMNT series.

Oh my God...things are getting intense now! Great job, Tasha! This was a joy to watch. Can't wait for part 3! ^^

@@nickneckerman2220 it's the first One Piece ending theme, "Memories" :)

[@SullyOrchestration]

Loved the professional dialog and editing, amazing. It's hard to find talent like that. All that's missing is some animation, and this could be its very own TV show!!

[@insomni-act]

These are amazing. The voice acting is truly phenomenal and what I would have imagined while actually reading.

[@MistyKathrine]

Sally's smile at 5:33 always has me crying.

[@qualityfandubs]

Tasha, This was such an interesting experience... The fact that on my FIRST critical listen I tried to pick up as many things that can be improved, and apparently I did find some things that I didn't quite find as perfect as the first video you did of 'The Spark of Life'. However I did myself a favour and relistened to Part 1 and this video again to compare. Funnily enough the things that I picked up seem to have disappeared... Let me point out the things I've picked up: i) Sally was voiced by a different person this time and not Aena ii) Ashley's tempo was too fast for pacing in her dialogue iii) Musical score levels were not loud enough to harmonise the other sounds which include the SFX and vocal performances. iv) Certain SFX's could be substituted to produce a less distracting sound in compromise to the voice work v) Ad-lib desired in some areas (completely optional though!) So on my second listen through only points iv) and v) needed attention. I double checked that Aena still voiced as Sally and she actually sounded much like the previous, which was a good thing! lol Ashley's natural speaking voice is actually fast and I thought that a -2 on the tempo will slow it down a little to make it sound a little smoother but I think leaving it now as it is fine. Musical scores earlier didn't get amped up as much as I'd like it to but I think you got the balance just right in the end - if I were to nit-pick, which I am, 12:07 ~ 12:17 could have been amped up by +1 to +2 levels, and a longer fade to the music would have ended it smoother IMO. So this is where it comes down to the last two things (again, this is me nit-picking, they're only minor to the remarkable overall production of things): iv) At 2:10:30 and 2:12, keep using the footsteps that were prescribed from from 2:06 to 2:10, the sharp 'tch' from the hard surface footsteps SFX was a little distracting. You can lowpassfilter those areas to give it that bassy sound so that it doesn't overpower the conversation at hand - as well as BIG's humming in the bg. v) From 14:00 onwards - if you, as director, took initiative to create some of your own lines for Shaun to do as Rotor it would have been a bonus. Have him on the receiving end with the radio transmitter equializer and it would be smooth sailing. Okay then, everything else was simply class - as always. I loved the performances from Kaliopae and Aena on the flashback - (I thought you did her voice for Rosie but it was actually Kaliopae! lol). Also Aena when she was being critical of herself emotionally was beautiful - and the Nami theme fit very well, don't put me to tears man! lol The music choices overall were very good! Especially towards the end when Sally was walking outside and communicating with Rotor (loved that twilight background sound of the forest - the owls and crickets chirping were great!). Oh and last but not least - you added your personal touch with your own singing of the ONE PIECE original ending - I noticed what you did there visually too! Great job on both accounts! Looking forward to contributing once again as Dr. Ellidy. I'll be available on the MON-WED - but we'll have to see how I go for my vocals, as for the next three shifts I'll be doing MC work on stage for the full 6 + 10 + 10 hr shifts! I'll try to look after it and recover first before doing any voice work! Thanks Tasha and keep up the amazing stuff as always. *thumbs up* P.S. Also! Super happy to hear more of Ashley with her RAW and unfiltered vocal recordings. Alot of it was digitized previously but now to listen to her in the flesh is great - to hear her stuff now when compared to the old mic she used is just an overwhelming difference - quality!

[@donniegirl12]

Thank you so much for the feedback, Elson! Much appreciated! I understand where you're coming from with what you brought up- I agree that they could have been done better! I'll put it down to the fact that I had less input from people this time around in comparison to the first part (I.e. you and a few of the others listening over certain clips or helping with song choices, etc) But I didn't want to drag you away from Nordguard, so I left it, really! I wanted to have some improv at the end, actually, but I think Shaun was too busy at the time to do any lines, so I left it, otherwise I would have done it. Once again, I appreciate the feedback and I can't wait to start part 3! And I'm looking forward to your Dr. Ellidy lines again, of course ;)

[@qualityfandubs]

donniegirl12 Your most welcome Tasha! Thanks for sharing your insight into the project! Interesting to hear about Shaun's situation, I've experienced that myself with the NORDGUARD series too. I'll get back to Dr. Ellidy's lines during my days off on the MON-TUE-WED. Looking forward to seeing how you'll construct part three! ;)

[@qualityfandubs]

Tasha told me about Master Splinter from the series. I haven't watched any of the new series - just the classic. ;) This is my typical 'old master from the orient' voice. (: D

[@mattkugelman4369]

Could you imagine if they took sonic universe and the normal sonic comics not boom and made it like a one piece style form of anime and by that i mean like a Archie sonic version of the openings as well as the to be continued sign and the preview.

[@sleepershark9969]

+Matt Kugelman Yeah man, I think that would be awesome. The plotlines in the comics would lend themselves well to an animated series.

[@donniegirl12]

Thank you! :D

[@ShadeKetchum]

Great job like before. Quick question though. Phage was confirmed (or referred to) as female. Does this mean Phage will be recast or Kovabomb will stay? Or will you add a female voice alongside his? I honestly don't mind Kova voicing Phage, I'm just curious.

[@donniegirl12]

We've had this discussion recently! I cast Kova as Phage well before I knew she was female but took that risk anyway. In the 3rd part when it's made more apparent, Kovabomb is gunna make his voice for Phage more feminine. Because she's a computer, I think a neutral voice so far has been okay since we didn't really know Phage's identity, that's why I took the risk.

[@ShadeKetchum]

That sounds like a fair compromise. Thanks for answering.

[@donniegirl12]

ShadeKetchum You can only wait and see~

[@pigifi]

It is so long and not a single reference that NICOLE is practically Megaman.EXE(Megaman Battle Network)?I know she is supposed to be based of AI like JARVIS but her creation story screams Hub Hikari.

I have all four issues of Spark of Life and I found out that Phage seems to be female according to how Nicole and Sally talked about her...

Sonic is not even in this comic

[@mikiwhitecat5126]

Because the Sonic Universe comics were made specifically to give other characters their arc. Sonic is the main focus in the main comic. He was absent in several arcs of the Sonic Universe comic. Even in the new Idw Sonic the new characters Tangle and Whisper got their own mini series where Sonic did not appear
