TYPES OF PROJECTS

Animation - a 2d or 3d piece of work that gives the illusion of motion through rigging, layered images/ keyframes, or hand-drawn frame-by-frame images to show a story e.g, “Unbounded” By NotZoey, “Wingz” By MoonLily Studios, “Spy X Family” by Cloverworks, “Demon Slayer” by Ufotable, “Minecraft Story Mode: A Telltale Series” by Mojang, Gacha Life animations(Live2d/layered animation), Minecraft machinamas, etc.

• ADR/Dubbing - the production of replacing the original audio in a piece of film, television, or video games with new dialogue, usually due to a different language e.g, English dubs of anime, “Murder Drones” by Glitch Productions in Russian or Dutch, etc.

• ADR/Prelay - where the production has voice actors record before the animation is created. This is similar to Dubbing accept this happens before animation is started, so animators can lip sync the audio to their animation e.g, “Rick and Morty” by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, “The Simpsons” by Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, and Sam Simon, “The Amazing Digital Circus” by Glitch Productions and Gooseworx, most western animation studios like Disney and Dreamworks

Video Games - an interactive form of entertainment played by the viewer through consoles, pc, mobile, or other devices by using the viewer's input and change the story or dialogue making visual feedback e.g, “The Walking Dead: A Tale Tale Series” by Telltale Games, “Doki Doki Literature Club” By Dan Salvado, “The Coffin of Andy and LeyLey” By Nemlei, “Poppy Playtime” by Mob Entertainment, “Call of Duty”, “GTA 5”, etc.

Audiobooks/Narration - a recorded voice-over of a book allowing an audience to listen to books, literature, or stories through audio rather than visually reading the words off a page. Uses tone and pacing to convey meaning rather than adding in SFX and such. E.g, “Project Hail Mary” by Andy Weir, “Born a Crime” by Trevor Noah, “Harry Potter” Narrated by Jim Dale, “Tom Lake” Narrated by Meryl Streep, etc.

Podcasting/Audio Dramas - a dramatized version of an audiobook or narration voice-over recordings. Unlike Audiobooks or Narration these tend to be scripted for audio, a full cast of voices, include music and sound effects, and more to create immersive visual storytelling without images. E.g, “Limetown” by Two-Up Productions, “Deadly Manners”, “The Magnus Archives” by Rusty Quill, “We’re Alive”, etc.

Roleplays - acting out a scenario or premade outline of an episode through improv while assuming the role of a character. These tend to show a story through adopting a character or character archetype and playing through the scene or world as this character. “The Dream SMP”, “Obsidian Hearts” by Psychorian Roleplays, “The Start of Despair” by Claydoh, D&D Campaigns, Minecraft roleplays, gacha animations (screenshot animation), etc.

Prelay vs Dubbing: 

BOTH fall under the animation catagory however, their process varies.

• Prelay is asking voice actors to voice the script before it gets animated for easier animation. This is far easier and produces better quality when it comes to indie animations, as it doesn't strain your voice actors. This is usually for indie animations or occasionally when an animation is first being created or adapted from a manga.

• Dubbing is where the voice actors read the script while matching an already-made animation. They match the lip movements to the script, making everything sound on time. This is usually most commonly acknowledged through the anime sphere of acting when the original animation gets translated into other languages.

NOTE: If I audition for a project that is based on project success or is unpaid, there is no need to look at this pricing unless it becomes a paid project later on. I am willing to work with budgets and negotiate pricing if it's too high.
