I’m not sure what method you are using for the Poe lines but they sound pretty incredible.
Here is my method for anyone else who is cranking these out:
- I go straight to the movies for actor lines. I pull dialogue from the center channel.
- I specifically pull dialogue that matches the tone I want for the new dialogue. For the Poe line, for example, I used his dialogue from that scene, plus later on in the film when he gives his speech to the Resistance.
- I try to get at least 30 seconds of sample dialogue. It might not seem like a lot, but I think quality or tone of the sample is more important than the quantity. In the case of Rey, I actually made two different clones for two different types of line delivery.
- I run the sample through a vocal isolation software to get it as clean as possible for Eleven Labs.
- I don’t really have sweet spot for Eleven’s settings. Just play with it until you get something that sounds right.
Also, where would Leia’s “you are family” go exactly? It’s clever to replace “brother’s saber” with “family’s saber” but as I recall there isn’t a place to put Leia’s response to that in the scene. I think it would be best to place it where “A Jedi needs her weapon” currently sits.
Yes, that is where I was thinking as well.
‘Blast’ has a similar mouth shape to ‘slipped’.
Whipped and ripped were two other options I considered, but didn’t test.
