 Finding the voice actors

Once I had made a Fiverr account, To start off with I typed in on Fiverr 'voice acting' and looked through some of the listings and favourited some of them, most of them were serious and more for voice over work and commercials. So I thought I'd try searching for anime/ dubbing voice actors instead. I went through most of them listening to their demo reels and favourited the ones I thought suit Blue and White. 

After I had saved a few I went to my saved list and went through them again. At first I was just looking for a voice actor for Blue first but I came across one I thought would suit White. 

The voice I picked for white was the Fiverr gig xixrinii. I think his voice suited White his voice was clear and his pitch and tone would suit white's character more. For my project I asked him to sound less energetic because the part of the anime I decided to redub.


After I asked for some opinions on whether this voice would suit White they agreed and so I payed for and sent him the requirements for what I wanted. I sent him the script and clip too. 


Their delivery time was 3 days but they delivered it really fast and was exactly what I wanted but they said the name Gareki wrong so I just asked them to do the lines again and they were very nice about it and delivered the redo quickly too. 

After they had delivered the redo I reviewed the and gave them a 5 star review because they were really nice and didn't complain and did exactly what I asked for.

Because this was done pretty quickly I went on to try find another voice actor for Blue. I found a couple I thought would suit him but their delivery times weren't ideal so I was split in between paying more for one but have the delivery time longer or pay the same price for one that didn't have a long delivery time but was mixed about their voice. So I settled on the second one after getting a few opinions. The Fiverr gig I chose is Sheacunha.

Their voice I thought would suit Blue but I also thought that maybe it was too deep for Blue as Blue is supposed to be 15 but as it's anime anything goes and the voice just suited him so well it was clearer and sounded more natural. In their demos they had one labelled misunderstood edgelord and I thought that would suit blue well so in the requirements I asked him to voice the lines in that voice. I also sent him the clip and script obviously.

They delivered my order fast as well and did 2 takes as well, they did it well the first time and I was satisfied so I approved it after getting some opinions and left a good review.

Editing
After I had both orders I loaded them into HitFilm and listened to them to make sure they worked.

After I had them loaded in I started to cut and sync them up to the clip. Also after watching and listening to the clip it doesn't have much Foley in it so I might add to it or Just find replacement sounds. 

Once I synced the lines up with the visuals I removed the original sound and listened through and watched it to make sure it sounded and looked right. 


I should have done my own Foley but I'm bad at time management and making plans so i ran out of time to do my own but in the next project i will it's just in this is will credit everything I use that is not mine. I found this playlist on YouTube and I will look through it for the sounds I need and edit them into the clip.


These are the ones I used, I thought as there was background music in it the Foley would be too distracting so just replaced what was already there and found a bit of music similar to the original to put in the background as I think music still suits the scene. 
This is the song I chose to put in the background it was the second one I came across I Didn't think much of it at first but when I put it in the background of the clip I thought it went well so I saved my project and exported it and will now get feedback. Here is the first edit:
