This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 636

From this life as a child (636)

Musicals are a genre produced in the form of characters singing directly.

The lyrics sung by the actors were elements that implied part of the plot or explicitly revealed the feelings of the characters in the story.

In other words, songs in musicals were an important piece that determined the completeness of the work.

‘I have to finish it on time.’

Suhyun’s expression hardened as she stared at the paper with only the lyrics written on it.

There are a total of 18 songs expressed as musicals in ‘Black Wings’.

Among them, there were three songs with Suhyun’s individual parts, and the estimated recording time, including the chorus, was two hours.

‘Even if I make mistakes and re-record, I’ll leave work on time… but for other people, the more mistakes I make, the more overtime is guaranteed.’

Su-hyeon, a former mentor and rival villain who appeared only a few times and collapsed in vain due to an injury in episode 4, was treated as a leading role in the field.

This means that they filmed their scenes right away with almost no waiting.

That trend continued in the recording as well, with Su-hyeon’s recording order placed at the front.

If he lost track of the recording, others had to go into infinite waiting.

―Suhyeon, first, let’s go through song number 2, ‘The Distance Between You and Me’.

“Ah ah ah ah ah-. yes.”

Suhyun placed a piece of paper with lyrics on the stand and listened to the accompaniment on headphones.

Soon after, the lines he and Jae-rim recorded on site rang in his ears.

“Do you think you can—?”

Suhyun started singing while glancing at the monitor installed on the side.

It wasn’t difficult to sing the song because I had sung it countless times and knew how Inseop felt.

―Suhyeon, when you say ‘Don’t come any closer,’ could you please sing a little more forcefully? It made me feel like, ‘Maaaa!’

That’s what I thought until I was tackled in an attempt that I thought would end in one go.

“Don’t come any closer—! Like this?”

-yes. great. I’ll just go back to that verse in its entirety.

“yes.”

Suhyun stared at the chunk of lyrics written on the paper.

Even though it was a song that had been rehearsed many times and practiced hundreds and thousands of times, the actual recording was not easy.

‘Let’s focus.’

After gathering his wits with a sip of water, he focused on the musical accompaniment.

Su-hyeon glared at the screen with stern eyes, as if the second coming… or rather, ‘Kangin’ was right in front of her.

“Don’t come any closer—! You are there and I am here. “That’s our street now.”

A senior who blatantly checks a junior who is a candidate for the same role.

A coward who is afraid of losing his position.

A coward who burns his anger towards his competitors in order to ignore his own slump.

Suhyun was completely intoxicated with the emotions of ‘Inseop’ and sang song number 2, ‘The Distance Between You and Me’.

There was a guide recording attached to Jae-Rim’s part, so it was smooth to maintain his emotions while taking breaks in between.

-great. I will continue monitoring.

Fortunately, after several attempts, Suhyun finished recording the entire section of song number 2.

To check the overall completeness, Suhyun watched the video and listened to the headphones.

The three-minute song went by quickly.

‘Your voice… sounds a little dirty?’

Suhyun was a little shocked while listening to her recorded song.

This is because the voice played with clear sound quality somehow sounded disorganized.

Even though she didn’t have great singing skills, Su-hyeon clearly noticed her shortcomings as her listening ear was quite good.

‘It’s not something that can’t be covered with correction. It’s not, but…’

The tone feels untidy, but considering the studio recordings I experienced during my idol days, this was a level that could be reasonably changed through post-production.

However, Su-hyeon, who knew that she could do better than this, could not be satisfied with this.

No, I didn’t want to compromise.

“Can I hear it again?”

-yes.

Suhyun focused on her own voice repeating itself.

When recording, it’s not that I’m in particularly worse condition than usual or that the sound doesn’t extend as well.

Nevertheless, I needed to know the cause of the discomfort I felt.

“sorry. “I’ll go back just once, starting with ‘I can’t think of a main character other than me.’”

While re-recording the parts she didn’t like, Su-hyeon thought endlessly about the reasons.

I have recorded and checked several times while practicing, so I don’t think the recorded voice will be bothersome.

It may be a difference in equipment, but the recording devices at home were the models favored by pros.

‘Wait, equipment? facility…?’

Su-hyeon, who was diligently moving her mouth and continuing her thoughts, lightly licked her lips at the flash of speculation.

Somehow, I felt like I knew the answer.

* * *

―I’ll go back just once.

-sorry. From 〈It’s all an illusion.〉 once again…

―Again….

Hyewon, sitting in the waiting room, glanced at the clock while listening to Suhyun’s medley again.

Already 30 minutes.

The time spent recording one song wasn’t long, but considering the song’s practice period, it was a bit much.

‘Soohyun, she’s a bit picky in the recording studio.’

The song coming through the speakers was okay.

The tone was good, the emotions were clear, and the pronunciation and vocalization were flawless.

Still, Suhyun’s ‘again’ procession continued.

-Thank you for your effort.

After another 10 minutes, the recording of Suhyun’s part in song 2 was finally completed.

‘Oh finally.’

Hyewon looked happy when she saw Suhyun leaving the recording studio while exchanging greetings.

I don’t pressure or urge the other person if they don’t finish quickly, but I was still concerned about the time spent watching the recording repeat for unknown reasons.

“Thank you for your hard work, Su-hyeon.”

“Recording a song is different from later recording, so it’s difficult.”

Hyewon released her slightly troubled feelings when she saw Suhyun sitting down with a big smile on her face.

When I saw a smile like that, I couldn’t hate it.

“We will record simultaneously. Soo-hyeon and Hye-won, please follow me.”

As she was waiting, listening to another actor’s recording, the studio staff finally called her.

It was for the recording of song number 9, in which ‘Inseop’ and ‘Seongyeon’ appear together.

“Let’s fight.”

“Hye-won, fighting too.”

With a small fist bump, Hyewon entered a different room from Suhyeon.

With two glass walls and some space between them, Hyewon faced Suhyeon.

―Can you both hear well?

-yes. I can hear you well.

“I can hear well too.”

Hyewon smiled slightly as she listened to Suhyeon’s clean voice.

Su-hyeon’s voice was originally good to listen to, but listening to it through headphones in a professional sound system was even better than usual.

―Then, let’s start with the verse of song number 9.

As the intro was heard right away, Hyewon glanced at Suhyun across the glass and at the lyric sheet in front of me.

In getting the timing right, the person in front of you was more important than the screen playing next to you.

“It’s not that I don’t feel anxious. But I have to do it because that’s who I am.”

“Your anxiety – I don’t know. Still, don’t bother you—.”

Hyewon was surprised to hear Suhyeon’s song sounding different each day.

It seemed like his skills had improved a notch compared to what I heard during rehearsals and filming.

‘In this short time?’

She didn’t know that people’s skills often increase suddenly rather than steadily.

Even so, the speed of Suhyeon’s development was different.

‘No… technique or something like that hasn’t improved much. In fact… it’s actually become neater.’

While joining forces with Su-hyeon, Hye-won quickly caught on to what was different from usual.

Soundproofing facilities that block other sounds from being mixed in, and recording equipment that captures the sound as it is, and sound equipment that transmits it without noise.

Even better than live performances, the technique of capturing human voices without loss was helping his skills stand out to the next level.

‘…It’s not as easy as it sounds.’

Hyewon, who had participated in several musical animation dubbing and experienced recording, knew that what was happening now was not common.

Under normal circumstances, it would have sounded worse in a recording studio like this.

‘If there’s resonance or spread, it somehow sounds like I’m singing better. That’s why you overestimate your singing ability when you sing at karaoke.’

The narrow room and noise from the large speakers in the karaoke room create the illusion that your voice is rich.

It was similar to the case where adding a light blur filter in Photoshop makes it look soft.

―You don’t know―.

While listening to Su-hyeon’s song mixed with resentment and resentment, she realized why he shouted back several times while singing song number 2.

In just that short period of time, he learned how to properly control his emotions through singing.

‘Although it lacks technique… other than that, it’s really amazing.’

Not only does he have good sense, but he also has great perseverance and tenacity.

Hyewon stared at him, who was glaring at the stand with serious eyes.

It was a pleasure to work with a good actor until the very end.

* * *

‘I thought emotional appeal was my strength, so I mixed it too much. That excess sounds unstable when recorded cleanly without noise.’

Fortunately, we figured out the reason and were able to complete the recording without any major difficulties after the first song.

Suhyeon was lying on the sofa in the company’s private room, reviewing yesterday’s recording.

When I quickly put out the fire, my body turned into liquid.

‘Now, only after the editing work is completed to a certain extent will the re-recording of the lines that were mangled during filming begin… The poster and promotion will be done next month at the earliest…’

Looking over the remaining schedule for ‘Black Wings’, Su-hyeon became even more excited. The body and the sofa became one.

No matter how many times I looked at it, this was the best role I could play.

‘It was too difficult this time to do my next project. However, the release of 〈Winter Coming〉 is just around the corner for me to take a 2-3 month break and do it again.’

We have already entered March, which can be considered early spring.

Considering that ‘Winter Coming’ was being released on May 24th to coincide with the summer vacation in the United States, working on a new project would have been taxing myself.

‘〈Winter Coming〉 will definitely go on an all-out promotional offensive starting in April. They’ll contact you soon, but it’s better to wait….’

Even if you calculate it here and there, it’s still too vague to start something.

While he was contemplating whether to forget everything and concentrate on exercising, a small knock sounded in the private room.

Eventually, the familiar voice of the manager asked if it was okay to come in.

“yes. Come on in. “What’s going on?”

Su-hyeon, who barely got off the sofa, welcomed Soo-yeol into the private room.

Today, for some reason, there was a garden next to it.

“There is no change in the actor’s schedule. However, I have personal circumstances…”

“It’s not common for Su-yeol to trail off. What happen? Has something happened at home? are you okay?”

“yes. There is no problem. Rather, I should say it is a good thing.”

Soo-yeol, who was usually clear-headed, couldn’t speak properly today.

The manager’s gibberish attitude was quite unfamiliar.
