A night to remember indeed, my friends.
A boy was harassed.
A girl was given a medal.
And an announcer was kind of a dick.
This is literally the worst thing I have done, ever.
For a competition, thrown together in about 15 minutes due to lack of time. The writing is shit, the voices are shittier, and the mixing is the epitome of shit itself.
But hey! May as well submit something.
Tell me what you think! (please don't I'll cry)
*"A Night to Remember" because a boy was sexually harassed (scarring him forever [he was also molested before and after]) and this man does not belong working with children.
No one shall ever forget.

I believe the script isn't crap but it does make me feel... Awkward.. Hahaha! This is the WORST thing you've ever done?! Ok, you're making me hate you! The voices are distinct, with the exception on Patrick and Johnny though. They seemed to sound very similar except that Johnny has a bit of a certain accent. For some reason, Emma reminds me of SpongeBob. I really like Ricky Jackson's voice, it justifies its role perfectly. Yeah, perhaps it would be better that the background music is a bit louder and the script longer but, what the hell... It is still pretty good. Thumbs up!
Yeah, the issue with Patrick and Johnny is that they're both young boys at a spelling bee - so you can't really make them too different.
But I did what I could. If you heard them back to back it would be easy to tell them apart, so that's good enough for me! Haha
Thanks for the review. <3

Yes.
I agree.

That was good and very funny. The acting and joke delivery were great. The music fits and isn't too loud. Only the recording could've a little been better. I hear a pop when you say apartment, and occasionally it seems to be slightly to loud for you equipment. Sometimes you can tell when one take stops and another starts, because the tone of the voice and volume and such change too much and rapidly. Your characters all sound different and it was easy to tell them apart. Very good.
Yeah, I wasn't used to being so loud, and didn't realize it until it was too late.
I didn't have a lot of time to do this, so I had to make do.
Believe it or not, all of that was a lot worse before I made the changes.
I was amazed I was able to even get rid of most of the pop on apartment. It doesn't boom into headphones as far as I'm aware at this point. It just sort of breaks up the recording. If I could go back, I would stand farther away from the mic the entire time. Maybe add my better pop filter (the mic came with a little one).
There shouldn't be any issues with volume, though, since I normalized everything to -3dB.
There was one point that was messed up for some reason (when he read the definition of clitoris), but otherwise I'm not noticing the issue.
Thanks for the review, man! I appreciate the feedback very much.
