''The Questioning'' - Some Disclaimers

In two days, I will be posting "The Questioning" online for all the smelly Zim fans of the world to listen and cry in disappointment over. That being said, there are a few things you need to know about it, so that your expectations aren't wrong and so you don't get the wrong impression from watching it.

1. This will be audio-only

There will not be animations to match the audio of the characters; it's strictly audio (with maybe some stupid backgrounds and small effects, but the focus isn't the visuals - the focus is the audio)

2. The mic quality will vary between characters.

I had my Voice Actors and Actresses record on whatever mics they wanted for this, since the focus isn't mic quality so much as how these people sound as the characters. As a result, some will be recorded on cruddier microphones, others on better ones. I want to emphasize: the mic quality does not reflect the quality you'll hear in IZ:TDM! - it is just for the purposes of getting the audio out on time that I had the VA's record on whatever mic was handy and accessible to them.

3. You're hearing the VA's at their worst.

This isn't to say they sound bad! They actually sound fantastic! I just want you to know that for "The Questioning" I lowered my standards so that the audio could be recorded in time. As a result, there might be some mix-ups, some stumbles, and some moments where they're not 100% perfect. Trust me, I'm a ton more picky (as I need to be!) with the actual movie's audio. What you hear in "The Questioning?" Yeah, it's nothing compared to the efforts we're putting into the fan film itself.

4. Some questions were grammatically corrected.

I tried my best to leave the questions completely in-tact as asked, but - on occasion - it was hard to understand due to the asker using incorrect (or no) punctuation. For this reason, rather than make fun of them or anything like that, I just corrected most of what I saw so it could be easy to understand.

5. Professor Membrane's Voice Actor was swapped at the last minute.

For reasons that are mostly my fault, but also because the Voice Actor for Membrane had a lot of responsibilities he needed to take care of, the voice actor who was originally going to do that voice has since left the project. I hold no ill will to him for this, but - of course - this made me scramble to find a replacement in time for "The Questioning." As things currently stand, if I cannot find a replacement in time, rather than delay "The Questioning" or cut out Membrane's parts, I simply recorded my own temporary substitute takes. So, if it turns out that I - Stanley Orr - voice Membrane for "The Questioning," please know that it's only temporary, as I am still looking for a replacement Voice Actor, and I myself shall not do his voice in IZ:TDM! proper.
