This is a Japanese application for testing your voice acting skills. It's a promotional application that's a companion for the Japanese film "神☆ヴォイス".Now this application is entirely in Japanese. However, it's a simple application. So with my translations, you should be able to use it easily, even if you can not read Japanese. Kitty is here to help!
First you click the big yellow button to start and choose your gender.
Now you see the image to the right. The top says "Voice God Checker!" Which what this application is. It checks your voice and gives you a number and chart to rate your voice quality.
Next are the instructions in yellow. "Press the record button and read the following lines, please". The lines you have to read, in the white box says "Voice of God Miracles!"... But you have to read it in Japanese. So that would be said this way "Kiseki wo Okosu Kami no Koe"... If you don't know Japanese syllables it's essentially:
"Kis" like Kiss
"ek" like Heck
"i" like E
"Wo" like Whoa
"O" like O
"ko" like Cold
"su" like Sue
"Ka" like Calm
"mi" like Me
"No" like No
"Ko" like Cold
"e" like Hey
You will now be able to play back your recording, as shown on the left. If you like it click the big button. If you want to retry, click the smaller button.Once you have a version you like and have clicked to continue, you are given your score.
The very top has an ad banner. Ignore that, it isn't important. I will display some of the possible characters and scores below. Here's what the score says and means...
Higher Numbers are better! Obviously...
You see by the number the character's name and a phrase they have given you. Below are some samples from the images I provided.
"Lucky, you'll get a good score. -Tinkun"
"Some Notes. -Rodrigues"
"Fight Fight -6 Shooting Scene"
"In, In, In -4 Shooting Scene"
"I was standing on the starting line -Arrow Clear Oda"
Below the photo you'll see some small text It tells you your voices rank in the national rankings list for this application. Try to get a good score.The graph under this score shows you your performance, and what the score was based on. At the top of the graph, "voice pitch". Clockwise we have, "Length of recording", "Smoothness of voice", "Ease of listening" and "Volume of voice". So to get the best score possible speak loud, clear, smooth and speak the syllables accurately.
You can try again by pressing the blue button.
I think it's an interesting application. I have not seen the film, nor do I intend to... So I can't really say much about the character references and so on. But as an application, it seems fun. It's nice to try to get a better score. I also like seeing the graph that shows a judgement of my voice qualities. I think this could be a good download for people who want to have a career in voice work. Or people who wish to practice their Japanese speaking (Even though ther is only one phrase). Obviously, if you have seen the film, and liked it... This is also a good download for you too. And it's free! So that's always nice.
I would of course have liked them to translate this before releasing it on the US marketplace. Even if not the phrase to speak, at least the text within the application.
