Will the actual scrips have the names of the chars speaking? Otherwise the job seems impossible to do right unless you have the images.
dear you don't have to know their names since the translation is arranged based on the positions of the bubbles and what's contained in it. So there's practically no need for you to know who's talking. In proofreading, you don't necessarily have to look at the raws unless you want some confirmation on what's being said. Proofreading only entails checking grammar, punctuation and spelling as well as coherence.
If you want to apply, please just follow the instructions. I hope I helped you with answering your question. Ganbatte.
good luck Kysh <3 thanks for the enquiry!
you have to be able to tackle this script! not all scripts would be this hard, but some scripts are even harder than this one ;_; use your imagination ^^ just proofread this the best you can. have fun!
I'm gonna give a shot a this since I'm kinda bored, if theres a problem with this since im applying for editor as well just tell me. just one question, what are the art? paintings? sculptures? or are they varied pieces of art? I believe they way you write this would be different according to what it is or at least I think so
the arts are just artworks. can be anything. just proofread it the best you can.
just one more question and ill get out of your hair, what am I supposed to do with the SFX's?
you can try giving it a go, like "running" = TAP TAP TAP but if it's really hard to create, just leave them be. we just pretend the sfx isnt there >.>;;;
*combs her hair*
but we need to know how good you are xD thanks!
