'Who is Frisk?" - A DOCTOR MEGALO Storyboard (FANDUB)

This is a fandub of a short storyboard done by the remarkably clever ‪@artsyrean5515‬, a creator behind the AU known as "Doctor Megalo", which is all about... well, I could spoil it, but I'd rather you go check out their incredible work.
Here are the links to their stuff up-front, everything below is more about what I'm doing here, so let's get the important stuff out of the way (giving credit and making sure the creator's stuff isn't drowned out) before I write my boring description:

I initally started dubbing the first comic in the "Doctor Megalo" series around August, however it quickly went from a small self-contained comic into a frankly brilliantly intricate interwoven story over many different mediums which I feel if I'm going to even attempt to cover partially, I really ought to make sure it's a bit more planned out than what I was going to do initially!
Something that I don't talk about remarkably often is that I actually have a degree in animation, which came with professional training in storyboarding, editing, and many other things you might not expect from such an educational pipeline. I've even done a few of those things mentioned professionally!
For that reason, I tried to treat this dub the same way I would if I was handed an animatic in-pipeline, and tried not to skimp out in delivering something that (hopefully) feels like it's ready to head into the hands of key animators!
This was an absolute treat to dub, and I want to voice my sincere enthusiasm and gratitude to Artsy for not only creating such a fun, unique animatic, but for placing out there a voiceless version of their initial feature-complete work for anyone to dub over... even if I ended up adding a bit more onto it anyways!😅
This fandom continues to surprise, amaze, and humble me with their talented and dedicated creators, so I hope my small dub here today helps contribute to such a thriving community of passionate creators, and I hope this inspires people go check out more of Doctor Megalo because of it (I think it's really cool)!

One critque is I think it works better if Frisk is mostly silent like how Artsy had it in theirs. The emoting sounds they make jar me out with how reserved they are in the imagry. The Sans va'ing is baller as heck though

[@projectalpha22_va]

What an interesting observation you made there, I absolutely adore it! While I do think there's something to be said about silent Frisk, I think you might find my reasoning here quite fascinating as to WHY they're as vocal as they are here (though with a caveat towards your observation shortly after)! For me, a character like Frisk is CONSTANTLY and CONSISTENTLY silent in my head when controlled by the player, right? I like the idea that these noises are almost indicative of how far things have spiraled. Though, perhaps admittedly that performance could have been a bit more subtle on the noises I made! I don't necessarily make noises like that often nor play a character in that area of my voice in that way like was required for Frisk, so there was a lot of awkwardness trying to time to the animatic and also make noises that sounded organic and fitting for the context here. Truth be told, I heavily considered actually using the audio Artsy had for Frisk and going from there, but they gave permission to use the VOICELESS version and it felt kind of weird to just snatch that audio because of it. I think their performance was lovely the whole way through, I had fun, that's for sure. Glad you like my Sans, though, I hope my enunciation was alright: I tend to 'dribble' out words when I use that voice! Thanks so much!

​@@projectalpha22_vaYour sans was indeed pretty good. Something that I love that's it's a bit less baritone than most other Sans voices. Which not only is a cool take but also fits a bit more 'active' Sans. To your Frisk I don't think it was bad at all. More to clarify is it just felt 'overacted' if that makes any sense. It was still pretty good regardless of the hangups in doing it. In any case to go from a masculine tone to an androgynous/feminine leaning tone is quite an impressive range.

[@artsyrean5515]

@@projectalpha22_va I did notice the frisk bit is a little overacted, it's still a nice interpretation to take considering how quiet frisk usually is, I'd still say it's a good take, you still did a splendid job, especially as sans♥

[@projectalpha22_va]

@@artsyrean5515Considering Sans was the main point of all of this, I’ll take it! Thank you for your kind words, and for the voiceless version of the video, this was a lot of fun!
