Analysing
For my project before I write the script I have the analyse the show how the voice actors have already delivered the lines in the clips I pick and what effect it has on the scene.
Even though the voice acting has already been done I will write a basic script so the voice actors I get will have something to read off if they need it.

I analysed the voice acting in one of the clips I might use, it is called band aid.
Popuko, the short one, starts with a normal casual voice asking Pipimi, the tall one, if she wants to watch their favourite show. Then when she sees that Pipimi has a graze on her leg and over reacts, in a panicked voice, she starts to mutter as she fidgets around with the band aid, then she gets so panicked that she can't do it and completely looses it. While Pipimi has been calm the whole time, at the start, when Popuko first noticed her graze, Pipimi said in a calm, casual tone, "don't worry about it".
Popuko's panicked tone and muttering add to the comedic effect of the scene, that she doesn't need to be panicking over a tiny graze, not even on her own leg, even after Pipimi told her not to worry. 



Target Audience
This anime is a parody, it is adapted from a comic stip. the promotional poster for this anime had the two main characters sticking their middle finger up but were blurred out so must be aimed at early to late teens as other works with swearing in them are usually 13+, this show also has references to anime that came out in the last 10 years so would possibly bring the age up to the people who were younger when they watch those shows originally. To get my target audience am going to make a survey monkey, the questions I was thing of including like what is you age? do you like parodies? do you watch parodies? do you like references in shows? 
here is the link to the survey I have done

Results
looking at the results after a week shows that my estimated target audience wa right.
this shows that most of the people who answered the questions were 15+ which when you go onto look at the rest of the results they support my original target audience of mid teens.
this answer is mostly yes and since the first question shows that mostly mid teens took this survey shows that most teens enjoy parody shows or movies.

the anime that I chose to dub have references to other anime, so thought I would include this question to see if my target audience enjoyed seeing references to other movies or shows in the media they were watching, the results show that they do. 

then finally since I am dubbing anime thought I would see if they enjoyed animation media. and again the results show they do.
from these results I can conclude that I don't need to really change anything about my idea as most of the target audience would like it.
