Does that mean I should also work on one?
I tried making one, but it sounded nothing like a menu theme, since I couldn’t find a good progression.

Also, I’m leaving for a week so I’m not going to be active for a while.

I may have ordered a crossfade tool from a shop for a review order and it worked so maybe we could do a low pass filter on songs as a separate audio file

Firstly H E L P THE EXAMPLES LMBOOO-

Voice Actors:

Years of experience: 0 basically, I've been doing my own little things for a couple years, but never anything with other people.
Skill level (1-10): Solid 4 :thumbs up:
Idk what voice actors do, what characters do you typically do?: DRAMATIC or Sarcastic characters. I'm very “grimly” or cynical sounding.
Strengths: My enthusiasm :3
Weaknesses: I sound wayyyy younger then I am ;-;
Example of your best work: N/A
What's something special about your voice?: I have a very unique accent, being it's a mix of like… 5 different accents. LOL
Who's someone you admire for their voice acting? I really like Alejandro Saab, Sean Schemmel, Roger Craig Smith, Shameik Moore, and Jack De Sena, to name a few.
Extras: I cannot stress enough how young I sound it's ridiculous.


Singers:

Years of experience: My entire life, so like… 10+ years lets say LMBO-
Skill level (1-10): I would personally say 7, but that's debatable.
Favorite singers: I really admire people with INSANE voice control (something I struggle with), so people like Tory Kelly, Meghan Trainor, Arya Starr, Whitney Houston, OR3O, Annapantsu, Will Stetson, literally ANYONE from EPIC: The Musical. Can you TELL I listen to too many yootube music creators LOLLLL
Range (if applicable): Mezzo-Soprano (I think 0-0')
Style of singing (Rap, whatever regular singing is called, opera, etc): Um, lemme think. I sing Folk style songs really well, sea shanty's I'm good at, romance songs are fine, vocaloid style songs I can do, my rapping is mid, musical songs are FIRE and I love singing those. So yeah that stuff.
Strengths: I'm practicing my runs, so maybe that?
Weaknesses: Vocal control ;-;
Example of your best singing work: I'm really proud of this cover: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/923867529/
What's something special about your singing?: I think the songs I pick. I choose to sing songs I can relate and empathize with, and I feel that helps me come off as more sincere sounding!
Who is someone you'd love to sing for?: THE WORLD *ebik guitar music*
Who's someone on this team that you'd like to work with?: I like all of y'all honestly LOL
Extras: hi i'm ahsoka and you're watching disney channel *ding ding ding ding* *twirls wand*


I know I did this like MONTHS late but tbh the forums have NOT been working for me whatsoever so I apologize. ALSO DID YALL KNOW GUITARS HURT YOU FINGERS SO MUCH OWWWWWW MY POOR THUMBS BRO-

Prepare yourself a paragraph XDDD

K-pop

- Punchy Drums
- Blends multiple genres (EDM, hip-hop, rap, pop, electronic, etc) into one song, heavily inspired by Western music
- simple-ish chord progressions, Western chord progressions
- Mixes English and Korean into lyrics
- can sound very full, drums resonate
- Uses a lot of retro old instrument/synths from like the 80s or 90s or idk old times and transforms them into something new and modern

J-pop

- Very complex, “spicy” chords (dim, sus, 7th, 9th, Aug, etc)
- Complex Chord Progressions (multiple chords, not just the 4 C, G, Am, F. I'm talking something like B(flat)Maj7, F, Fsus4, F, C7, F, Gm7, Am7, F, C… Lots of chords, not just 4 in one measure.)
- Chords heavily inspired by American Blues
- sort of punchy drums
- Loves electric guitar
- Usually sticks to Japanese, some sprinkle in english

Both

- Very happy sounding (sometimes)
- Uses synths, can be very electronic
- FAST
- Extremely complex, not for the beginner composer
- Key changes range from semi-common to common
- Crazy Harmonies


What is the “K-pop” sound?
- Blend of multiple genres, upbeat, heavily inspired by Western EDM and Pop songs
What is the “J-pop” sound?
- Complex chord progressions, upbeat, some influences of Western songs, surprises/unpredictable

This is coming from an absolute noob btw, so don't trust 100% what I say. It's just a compilation of what I've observed as well as what I've heard

School is starting up again next Tuesday but I will put a similar amount of effort into my side projects at home. I have a proper schedule and everything for my homework so I won't miss too many beats here.

I like it! Only thoughts is that it's a bit synthy. Can you get it a bit more j-popy? With more instruments that aren't synths?
