Audiobook revival -- Auditions
« on: February 15, 2014, 01:55:34 AM »
I'm honestly probably deluding myself here. I want to do this. I think the better way to run this is to get people to crank through a bunch of work all at once, then let me edit and release. That's what most people have done, and I'm really only missing a few key parts to get some significant work out.

Sadly, I need to run another wave of auditions. I lost contact with the previous Visser 3, and Duff has contacted me and decided he wouldn't have the time to commit to more work.

Therefore, I am opening auditions for Marco and Visser 3. Full details can be found here.

If you try out for Marco, please be prepared to do retcon recordings to catch up.

Read about this in The Revitalaissance thread. I have a great microphone so I may audition for Ax, but I am not good at being committed to projects.

Well several of us have had success by working in maniacal bursts: do as much recording as you can stand in two weeks or something, then wait for me to do all the editing.

Also my Ax is more like the one from the series and less like the one from your audiobooks. For my audition recording, if I make one, should I try to emulate Gankhruun as Ax?

Absolutely do your own take. You'd be rerecording Chapters 1-12, and I'd swap you in. Standard procedure when we recast (at least this far into the project)

Great! I'll try to record my audition soon, but the deadline is pretty far away so I may take my time.

yeeeaaaah... doubting that i could do any of those. somehow. gut instinct. ;)

that said, if you ever want to switch it up with a new voice for spare female cameos and other nameless parts, let me know. ...and if you need a reading for those, also just shoot me a line.

these are fun. i'm a tince sad that i wasn't around to see the beginning of it all. i would've gone out for a part or two. congrats for rounding the gang up and getting this rebooted!

I sent my audition. Now I just have to wait until the deadline.

Well...audition away.  I hope it's suitable.  While I'm experienced with acting and theater, I've never before tried voice acting.  On an unrelated note, waiting is the hardest part about auditions...

Bonus points (not useful ones) for sending me FLACs. It really doesn't matter for auditions, but I like seeing them.

Actually I did send FLAC's because Audacity couldn't export as MP3 without an additional library, which I didn't particularly feel like downloading when there was an alternative.  :P  Considering I don't have a studio (lol), I think I did pretty decent at minimizing the background noise and mouth sounds.

I sent two files, one for Ax and one for V3.  I'd be happy to get either, but Ax would be my preference (as is probably the case with most people.  :P )

Just one weekend left! I've gotten some seriously impressive auditions so far, and I can't wait to share the results with everyone.

Chapman has been fairly underrepresented in auditions, so if anyone else wants to give it a go, I'd welcome it.

Ding-ding! Time is up!

I've been so excited over all the auditions I've gotten. Auditions are now officially closed for these three characters. I now need to go through and make final decisions for each role, then contact the new castmembers and confirm that they can take the role. I hope to have it all done within the week, but as soon as I have all three confirmations, I'll let everyone know.

Sorry I couldn't continue this project. My laptop died and the one I'm using now won't do well.
