Title: How about a Full Cast Dramatization of the Animorphs books?
Post by: Yorick Brown on July 21, 2008, 07:12:09 PM
Rather than letting one person read the book like most audiobooks, we have several fans reading each character and we insert sound effects (ex.a  tiger's roar) throughout the sound play.

For example, let's use The Invasion. Guy #1 can play Jake and say "My name is Jake..." blah, blah, blah. But rather than Guy #1 reading the part of Marco and Rachel and whatever, we get different voices for them whenever they have any dialouge. The narration and Jake's dialouge only has to be done by Guy #1. And we get occassional sound effects like hearing Jake's dog Homer barking and Tobias' cat Dude meowing.

What do you think?

that's exactly the same as the audiobooks we're doing...

I hate it when I think I have an original thought, and then find out that it's already been done, so I simpathise with thee. :(

Haha, us doing that is probably what's making it take so long. XD But I think it's better, though. Audio books where the narator reads all the dialogue is kind of annoying.
