This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Aka. Fan renditions of lines from SKU. In fact I'll start this off, with the auditions that I did for the production of SKU on the voice acting forum I've joined.
Come on guys and dolls, I want to hear you guys too! Any lines, any character! Japanese, english, native language of poster, let's showcase everybody!
the producer wrote:
Hello Anji! I've listened to your takes and I made a quick outline here:
Juri: Very good! On the second line, I would have put the emphasis on "less" rather than "about." Excellent voice choice!
Anthy: This take was great as far as voice and inflection. The thing I'm gonna nitpick at is mic effects. Make sure to watch out for echoes and clicks as you go in for close takes and pull back so the mic doesn't read the booming. Still great take.
Kanae: Magnificent take. Nothing really to note. That was marvelous!
Wakaba: Great "Utena" scream, good second line, and the crying scene had enough parts that I could clip together into scene. Great job!
Shiori: Nice voice selection. The inflection for line two was a bit off at the end, but I didn't mind it. Third line was great! Fourth line was maniacally awesome! Again, just watch the echoes and pops.
Utena: I'd have liked if you kept the voice you had for the first line for all the takes. Still, your inflection and acting in the other takes were great. The battlecry could've been a bit longer, but again, still okay for like, a fighting scene.

Putfile no my friend, . And every time I try to download the necessary plug-in for it, my computer goes WTF?
Is there any other way to listen to these?

Ack! I'll try to find something as soon as I can

You got a really nice voice Anji. I think I'll try it out as well; we'll see how my radio career affects my English

Anji, these are all great, but you make a truly superb Juri. Delicious voice. Omnomnom.

Really great voice Anji *is jealous*
What program do you use to record yourself?

Ok... My first attempt, at showing my beautiful voice at IRG. I used my crappy microphone, connected with headphones, my new laptop, and the standard Microsoft Windows XP sound recording programme.
Here is me, with some bad acting as The Poptart Emperor, Mikage

Hmm... I'll try to voice Miki and Tsuwabuki as well, but I can't think about making a NRG Akio "Let me show The End Of The World to you" quote.... I would be a hopeless Akio...

Here is the link to my Mikage voice on sendspace...

AnjitheArtist: Is it possible to upload your voice recordings to sendspace? I wish to listen to them but Putfile is acting up on my browser too. :(
Edited to add:
Nanami's Rose Groom: Thanks for uploading it to Sendspace! Sexy accent. :)

Ooooh, loving the accent too! Can't get enough of that. *waves to Valeli somewhere out there*
Hmm, I'm tempted to try this myself now. Perhaps I'll try and do a voice or two later on. *must find her microphone* I've done something like this with some friends of mine before. Please don't find it odd that I like to do male voices rather than female <_< I do. I might sling a weak Anthy or Juri in there somewhere though.

Nanami's Rose Groom: It was cool. ;)
BlackRoseVixen: Yes, you should. *smiles* I might try it too--in a male-sounding voice, that is; like a Takarazuka performer. Or if that fails, I'll do it in my natural ugly voice. *snickers*

I'm sure you have a beautiful speaking voice, Seito. Don't sell yourself short.
My recording will have to wait a while, since my microphone doesn't seem to want to work Must buy a new one. This one is pretty old anyway...

Firstly, thanks guys! I wasn't sure how this was going to be recieved.
Secondly BRV: I use Audicity
Thirdly: I'll put the quotes on sendspace when I come home
and finally:
As requested by Hiraku I will do the Juri "Take it off! Take it off!" speech.
Also NRG Good job on Mikage!

Don't you still need a mic even with that, Anji?

Anji
You have an excellent voice! I agree with them in your Kanae - she was absolutely delightful. Your Juri, too, was quite good, but that Kanae was just perfect.
NRG
::whistles:: That wonderful accent of yours really brings a new meaning to "Go Deeper". Great work with that tone. You really captured it, in my opinion!
Seitokaichou
You have such a whispery dark trait to your voice. I can't decide whether to be scared our turned on. Either way, you have a lovely voice. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Offline
Gwah. NRG, 'kaichou, both of you have wonderful voices. I mean, I've talked with NRG so I knew his was really nice to listen to, but... 'kaichou, damn. You sound just as sexy as I thought you would.
Anji, I haven't listened to yours yet. I'm a horrible person.

Kaelyndra: *whispers to your ear* I'd rather you fear it--only because it can render you weak in the knees... so says Ran. *pecks your cheek* It was fun sharing; thank you very much for listening!
Lady Chani: I'll try and have a voice chat with you on Skype one of these days. I posted a song right here if you haven't listened to it yet. *winks*
Offline
Holy shit, Seito, that was flippin' awesome I saved it to my computer due to its sheer epicness. I want to hear more from you! *huggles*
Offline
Anji, I particularly liked your take on Utena!
NRG, very very fitting version of Mikage.
Seitokaichou- Voices shouldn't be aloud to be as sexy as yours. SRSLY. Absolutely amazing voice acting, a perfect female Touga.

BlackRoseVixen: *blushes unprincely-like* Thank you, sweetness. *huggles back playing with your hair*
Iris: *gently pushes you in a corner, palm against the wall* To call you, or not to call you? *puts mobile phone to sleep mode, stifling a sadistic smile*
Offline
*Looks up at Seitokaichou hopefully, a little pout on gloss-shined lips.* Aww... you tease this poor girl so badly
I'm working on a few lines of Shiori, and of Kozue. I'm having a horrible problem with the volume though.

I used Sound Recorder when I recorded my voice. Make sure you're using a nice headset with mic too.

Though my voice doesn't fit any SKU character entirely, I did the obligatory Juri-voice in my native tongue of English.
If you can't read wma files, then I'll try to figure out a way to convert it. In the mean time here. Your ears shouldn't bleed too badly.
I also tried Utena, but I was far too sarcastic. Maybe Wakaba in the future - my voice feels much more fit to her vocal level.
