I finally got into the sound booth today and recorded all of Maya's dialogue. Kay Johnson, a current sophomore and Performing Arts major here at SCAD, did the voice over work. She was really amazing and very eager to do her best, which was really helpful.
I had a bit of a fiasco at first because the people at the Cage (where all of the technological equipment is kept) weren't very helpful at all. I was told they were supposed to tell me how to set up the sound booth, but when I got there they told me it wasn't their job to be giving me tutorials. I wish I had just gotten a straight story, but whatever. I ended up calling my friend TJ because he's a graduate student in the Sound Design major, so he helped me set up the equipment and ProTools session so I could record. ProTools is actually totally badass and cool, so I'm looking forward to learning even more about it when I use it in my Intro to Sound class next quarter.
Kay had some trouble with stiffness in her dialogue at first, but then Andrew (my brother and the voice of Declan, the main character) got in the sound booth with her so they could actually say lines to each other like they were having a real conversation. This helped Kay immensely, and she became much more natural almost immediately. It was a really long day, but I got a lot accomplished.
