Oh, I totally misunderstood, I thought you were trying to *repair* vocal fry itself.
Yes, Audacity's stock noise remover has the best results with the fewest artifacts for me, even over expensive options, tho only up to a point? HVAC with a heavy low-end component say, can end up taking a lot out.

Do you mean the one where you have to take a sample first? How are you sampling in a way that doesn't end up just hitting the vocal itself? I've never tried it with anything but sampling room tone.

I don't know anything in native audacity that could handle vocal fry - Izotope Rx mouth de-click sometimes catches it, though it's not reliable, and when it does, it often sounds unnatural afterwards?

I see, clever! Are there any issues with render time, because it's effectively loading the whole site at once, embed thumbnails, etc?

Irony can land very differently between, say, a Friends-only FB post, where you can *presume* everyone is going to get you, and a public post anyone on the internet might see.
I almost never look at anything but the Mutuals feed, so my Bsky experience tends to be pretty chill.

House rules can help with this sort of thing?
E.g. You play as normal. But when you miss a roll you're invested in (because it's high-impact, or cool, or etc), you say "consequences option?". And the GM offers something that means you succeed but incur a cost proportional to the impact.

I was so happy when I saw it, because I'm a six year old.

My used 103 is very sufficient - I'm not buying any more gear until I actually pay off my booth. 😅

It's basically the only station I ever listen to when *I* play, unless there's a radio-relevant quest. Val is goal-oriented, I'm just a nerd. 😂🤓

Apt.

Mostly, music is a distraction, especially if it has lyrics - if she's reading reports she sometimes listens to the classical station.
I could say more... but I won't. 😉😇

Have your dad record a Cameo message and then send it to Tommy Chong?

Usually not much, because if I thought it should be different I'd have already addressed it during the edit pass?
On occasion tho. Joanna getting detained was a fun one. 🤬🤬🤬🤬😂

Oh, when I find an excuse to do character development while script editing, I definitely do. 😆 But these episodes have been epic length enough without adding filler. Lawrence's writing stands very well on its own.

Well, @themodusfiles.bsky.social probably still has me beat. I have headcanon, but when the writer has headcanon it's just regular canon. 😆

Emotional scenes aren't that hard to *start* - my empathy is dangerously overdeveloped - but emotionally and physically exhausting because I'm as close to genuinely feeling whatever's going on as I can be? Particularly when there's crying - I can't fake cry believably, I just actually cry. 😅

Really depends on the context!
I'm picturing Val squinting skeptically at some eager actress who wants to talk for hours because she's been cast as her in a wasteland theater production. But making Val introspect probably is unpleasant for her. But the flavor of that changes depending on *when*.
comment in response to
post
I think Val never had the right environment to make visible hobbies much of a thing. Anything not-relevant her parents would've probably called time better spent elsewhere ("If you need rest, Valeria, sleep. Or study technical manuals.").
Maybe people-watching is defensible enough? 🤔

In general I love that she's competent and driven and occasionally scary while Colonel-ing. And her character arc over the whole show is solid and convincing, in the ways she learns and grows (and doesn't), in the relationships she forms with the few rare people that go deeper than rank.
🧵 3/3
comment in response to
post
But that makes the rare scenes where she *drops* that persona all the more impactful, letting the audience hear her being an actual person - one who is only barely a grown adult, yet dealing with all this massive responsibility and pressure. And those're fun scenes to do (tho fun <> easy 😅)!
🧵 2/?
comment in response to
post
Hm, avoiding spoilers:
She genuinely believes in what she's doing, and that requires other people to believe in *her*, so she does the code switching thing and "acts Colonel-y" basically around anyone until she enormously trusts them, and that's a long trip and a short list.
🧵 (1/?)

Thanks so much! 🥰
Other than the remastered intro episode, I can't take credit for anything before S1E13 - praise should be directed at @mandymarieb.bsky.social, who voiced Valeria before I joined the cast!

Have you considered denial? That and some zip ties has *entirely resolved* my front grill's constant attempts to throw itself beneath the wheels, and will cause zero issues later because as noted it's totally entirely resolved and hardly ever makes terrible road scraping noises.

Awww! But I get plenty of love from Lawrence and the rest of the show folks - 'senpai' here is Our Patrons Who Art in Maryland, hallowed be their Todd. 😂

Yep, they were introduced 500 years ago, we usually call them "bodices".

FWIW, "Speaking parts" here means voice lines (tho that's misleading, many of those "lines" are *not small*).
That said, there are *60* characters with dialogue in this one. 👀

...less, after. ❤️🔥

Slang may have already moved on? I haven't been tracking it successfully for a while, and thus my presumably conspicuous lack of rizz.
