Your take on Dr Livesey is probably the most creative I've seen so far! love how he sounds like he never takes a breath while speaking, pretty faithful to the original russian version xD
Friend: hey wanna smoke this cigarette? Guy: no Friend: what you quit smoking? Guy: yes Friend: what made you quit? Guy: because Dr.livesey said smoking is bad for your health. Freind: but everyone tells you to quit smoking and you didn't listen them but you listened to Dr.livesey? Guy: yes
oh my GOD your version sounds amazing! i wish the real english dub had this much effort put into it-- you nailed the same vibes as the OG russian version, it's awesome
I don't know what's weirder: the ham-fisted PSA piece by the Soviets to denounce alcoholism and smoking in their population, or the fact that said ham-fisted PSA fits just right with all this insanity?
Well, as a lot of Russian comedy films and cartoons, this is meant to be taken with a healthy dose of irony. The fact how "ham-fisted" it is is part of it's humor. Also, it's just a kids' cartoon first and foremost, with PSA pieces.
I love how this is called a "ham-fisted PSA" while old Looney Tunes cartoons (and such) have tons of remarks and messages that all but scream "support U.S. army" 😂
The performance you did for Livesy's entrance a week later is flawed, but I think this earlier one is darn perfect. Perhaps this is an example of beginner's luck.
The laugh needs a little work. Not deep or loud enough. I know there limitations to any voice. If i could imagine a True Dub where you keep the characters personality then this is it.
Well, that's a good business. Still not enough, you need to do same as Duke Nukem voice actor did, talking with closed teeth, through them. And you gotta do something about the laughter though, although i like very much that you're making those breaths-in between speech, as original, because animation is actually shows it that he does that.
