You knew his story, you saw how he looks like... and now you’re going to hear how he sounds like!

This third and final installment involving Ballooney is an audio skit I’ve created for his Classic Toon AU version, in which he tells how his day in the Studios went before the downfall. Mind this, though: since the AU author, Paimania, has chosen to restart it from zero, this audio log and my OC presence in the AU is to be considered as “non-canon”, and as such they’re not part of the story, nor they have any connection to the other characters.

Personally, I find this work the most important for my OC, not only for giving him a voice but for defining his personality in every context: In my thoughts, I’ve imagined Ballooney as a “personification of anxiety and nervousness”, with its source changing in every context I put him through. So, if in a Toon Town settings he’s feeling oppressed about his economic and family situation, in the Classic Toon AU he’s supposed to feel anxious towards something most artists may relate to: to measure up with other artists, constantly confronting his work with that of everyone else’s around him and fearing it’s never enough. It’s something that I myself was into in the past, but after resuming my activity of video editing I’m trying to overcome it and improve work after work :).

Now, let’s talk about the technical issues I’ve had with this audio skit: so far, this is one of the longest of the speeches I’ve ever recorded (around 3:17) and, differently from my very first fandub… it has ZERO cuts. Which means you are hearing me talking non-stop with few pauses between sentences. Not only that: I’ve recorded this soliquy SEVERAL times in different days. Soooo… yeah, if you heard me losing breath, now you know why XD I’m still learning and finding ways to improve myself. Still, the audio editing remains the funniest part to do: this time, I’ve used a particular plugin for Audacity, called iZotope Vinyl, which modifies the audio as if it’s heard from an old radio. As a side effect, though, it also has reduced the volume of my voice... yay.

Alright, after this brief explanation, that concludes my trilogy of Timothy “Ballooney” McTurson, a character I’ve initially created in my mind to act as an extra for another story, but end up defining him as a character of its own. I don’t know if I’ll ever make something more about him… maybe a side blog, if I do find some time and the desire. I hope you liked this character development.  And now, I leave you with his soliloquy, so you can follow my speech and understand my words :P

Ok, um…hello, my diary! It’s been a long time since I talked to you, hasn’t it? W-well, I’m sorry for ignoring you lately, but the workers from the Music Department forbidden me to take any more tapes, since they need these for… you know, their job. Even though they use them to record their stories too… err, what I’m trying to tell you is this will be the last time you’ll hear from me, at least for a while, since I’m using the one tape I have left …on second thought, maybe I should have kept it for a special occasion… Err, still I digress! Anyways, how are you doing? I’m fine, by the way. Today was especially great! I watched a Keystone Cops’ movie, cooked something for the crew and even managed to talk to a woman without freaking out! Pretty good, right? Well…ok, I admit it: there has been an issue. Today my voice actor has scolded me. Again. And this time he was very, very angry. But no worries! I’m safe, now: in fact, I’m into the warehouse, inside one of those cabinets, where I’ll spend the rest of the day where no one can find me, and I’ll not annoy anybody. As always, everything is going just…swell! Eh eh! Eh…eh…

…who am I kidding? I know I’m a mess up. Even when I try my best, I always mess things up. “But Ballooney,” you might say, “You are a cartoon! You have it all: wacky tentacles for limbs, a squeezy and bouncy body and, more importantly, unmatched talent that normally belongs to an average human star! You. Are. Perfect!” Well, I have news for you, my friend: I’m NOT perfect! I mean, look around! Have you seen all those other toons who came out before me? THESE are perfect! Each one of them, from the charming demons to those angels with their pretty faces! Not to mention the fluffy animals with their… (incomprehensible sounds) …fluffiness! And what about the other toons that are created later? They didn’t waste time and get noticed quickly! Heck, some of them are even as famous as the Dancing Demon himself! As for me… I am no one, no one I tell you! No matter how great I am in entertainment, I will never be a match for them! I don’t have their beauty, their skills or their confidence! I don’t even know why I am here in the first place! I… I’m not like them at all! I… I… (he cries)

They say “believe in yourself, and your dreams will come true”…but how can I realize my dreams if I don’t believe in myself?!

…I wish I ‘d never seen those movies before my debut. If I didn’t, then I- Shoot! Somebody’s coming this way! Ugh, where is the stop button? Err…oh, stop!
