Thank you for your compliments, Opalescence!

Out of blatant curiosity, are you doing the Voice Acting for Surayah?

Theoretically, yes. One lamentable thing about my singing is I don't sing-act very well. Surayah's speaking voice will be of a lower register than my typical singing, and accented.

In any case, was just wondering if you ever had to accent when you VA, assuming you've ever VA'd before...

I have had to do a few accents from time to time. Straight from the Bad Ideas Barrel, I'm going to attempt my own soundset for Int'l Bruceday. Be very afraid.

You have a beautiful voice, Bons, and that's all that really counts when it comes to singing.  The rest, reverb on the guitar and whatnot, is really just fluff.

Out of blatant curiosity, are you doing the Voice Acting for Surayah?

Speaking of Voice Acting, have you ever tried accents before?  Some accents I find particularly difficult: French, East Asian, and Canadian are the three highest on my list of "I can't do it" accents.  I hear I'm decent at Indian and British, though  ;D.  I personally like my Aussie accent but everyone says I overdo it.  In any case, was just wondering if you ever had to accent when you VA, assuming you've ever VA'd before...

Once this mod is released... would you mind if other modders use the soundtrack (or parts of, at least) in their mods?  Of course, with your specific consent and the modders professional attribution of the music to you, but these songs are going to be wasted if they only appear once or twice.  They are far better then the rest of the BG2 soundtrack, and having it appear multiple times would be a big +.  That is, of course, assuming that I got the right idea about multiple mods working together.  Keep up the good work, and say yes to my question (you know you want to...).

OT, but somewhat relevant anyways: When is someone going to oust Black Isle and put together the revamped BG2 with a whole ton of mods smashed together into a (semi-illegal) cd?  I, for one, say its a great idea and would profess that it was my idea and that I forced you into it.  Or is this not necessary and Black Isle has (in its never-ending kindness) decided that fans should control the fate of BG2 and have turned over all copyright stuff to pocketplane  ;) ?

I'm thinking that's too far down the slippery slope of spoilerage. Next someone will want to hear the Mazzy song, then someone will want to hear the Korgan song, and so on and so forth until there's nothing left but the sound effects for Surayah's zills.

Forgive my cruelty, UU, but no turnip and hamster for you!  :D

urm...does your band do rock???

cause i'd love to hear a version of the best turnip parody i've ever written...vegetarian rhapsody... :D :D :D

As far as criticism goes, I'm aware there are imperfections and limits to all the songs I've recorded for the mod, because it's me. It's a little unnatural to receive only praise OR criticism, and, honestly, I don't think -Guest-'s comments were all that critical. :)

I chose against reverb on the guitar, personally preferring it unmodulated. In some instances, I have used reverb on the vocals, especially with the a capella pieces for the same reason that -Guest- mentioned. I chose to do looping guitar because it took me a lot less time to come up with 20 seconds worth of material compared to expanding to cover 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. All in all, I may very well find some criticism on music, areas, dialogue, or whatever, interesting, but choose against it because of my own preferences, or simple time constraints.

It's up to Bons to decide if guest's criticism is valid or not.  And even though negative feedback stings, it generally offers food for thought so most modders appreciate getting it (though I don't know if Bons falls into this category or not.) :)

Constructive criticism generally goes down better when there's a name attached to it, guest.  I'm pretty sure Bons is unlikely to bite your head off if you find something less than stellar about her mod, so no reason not to sign your opinions.

that just makes you arrogant, not right.  Just because people like different things doesn't mean they have different standards.

i did not exactly expect her to have acces to a professional recording studio. all those things could be done with freeware software.

also, seeing as most other comments in this thread were "this is very good, very beautiful voice" and the like, and i found many what i consider flaws, i in fact do think i have higher standards, and therefore pointed out some improvement suggestions, although i am not exactly sure whether these are works in progress or not.
