re: Victoria, I think it's the energy and enthusiasm of youth. But you're paying and I think Alex and the actresses are fairly amenable to suggestions, if you tell them specifically what you want.skullchaser wrote: ↑Tue Jan 04, 2022 4:42 pm...To me, she sounds like a goose and flails around like a spaz. A little bit of coaching would help with both of those, but I'm here and she's filming waaaaaaay over there.
I may go with Floor13's idea of a gag, but the last time CW did that, it obscured her face too much. It's a shame to ruin one of her best assets as a performer, just because her vocals are terrible.
I also think the Floor13 method of translating back and forth between English and Russian is good for helping eliminate those "lost in translation" moments.
Sometimes as a last resort I'll type in the English word (in parentheses) into the Russian just after the Russian word the program chose, to maybe further help. Sometimes I just can't massage the English enough to get the Russian to say exactly what I'm trying to get across.
I've become a fan of packing the girls mouth with something, then tying a cleave gag over it, as a gagging "system". Not a huge fan of tape, but clear tape will also hold it in place while not obscuring her face. And, of course, there are many varieties of colored tape.
Packing her mouth provides a cleaner look than a huge rag overflowing her mouth, and doesn't obscure her face/breasts. Also better than a too-loose ballgag, which I'm not a fan of. But that's just me, YMMV.
