SotM Radio Play

If no one has any objections to the script, all we really need now is someone to edit and put together the audio. Once that's established, we can probably start doing voice auditions.

Very cool. I don't have any editing software, unfortunately.

So we can probably start auditioning for parts soon. I'll have to go through the script and decide which parts are the best audition material. I should be able to get that up here within a week or so. Hopefully, everyone who was interested in this project is still following this thread. I'll probably try to send a message to all those who signed up for voice acting just to be safe.

I create a spreadsheet to make signing up easier. Just put your name under any role you are interested in.

 

Auditions

Okay, so here are the lines from the script that you guys can use to audition for parts. So this is the idea I have on how to do this. You guys record the lines yourselves and then send your takes to me at nielnotneil@yahoo.com You can of course audition for multiple characters, but have a seperate audio file for different characters. If you want to send multiple interpretations of a particular line or monologue, then that's fine two, but try to send no more then 2 or 3 takes of the same thing. If you want to, you can also record 2 or 3 pieces of flavor text from the cards that you like. Flavor text reads should be in their own file and please let me know which card they come from.

One of the first things that you'll probably notice is that there isn't much audition material for the Wraith. Wraith has some very good lines in the Freedom Annual, but she doesn't have any paragraph long monologues like the other characters do. I asked the talented Meerkat to write up some additional audition material for the Wraith. There isn't currently a deadline for audition submissions. I'll probably put a deadline on it when more people have signed up on Pydro's sheet and when Meerkat finishes with the Wraith material.

Edit: Audition material for the Wraith is now up.

Excited about this!  I edit audio in my free time, though I've never done a project like this.  What I'm trying to say is, if you want help there, get in touch.  Also, I'd be willing to voice a character.  I am probably capable of voiceing a male character or a female character.

 

Oh, I also have a good quality mic someone could use to record, if they could get to St. Louis to do it. 

 

Also, I should note, I work for Greater Than Games, but that itself is not a reason to include me or give me preferential treatment, so please don't.

OK, so I went throught the AWESOME script and copied down all of the soudn effects. If some people want to start searching for these sounds, or even trying to create them, that would be awesome. Some sounds are used more than once (e.g. super speed), and it might be a good idea to have more than one sound for those effects.

 

That's awesome. With Foote, we now have two people that can do the really hard part.  :slightly_smiling_face:

 

Right now we have six people for seven roles, and some of them said they can do two! I am thinking give this a little more time for people to sign up, but let's get started soon.

Can I just say right now that "Andy Arenson" even sounds super-hero appropriate? :)

Just out of curiosity, is the aim of the Radio Play to be in the same sound as the old (20's, 30's) radio dramas, or are we thinking more modern sound effects?

 

Thanks?!

Think I might sign up for a voice part, but I'm super busy over the next five days or so. 

Also I can't edit the spreadsheet on my iPad, could someone add me please? I'm happy to do whatever, as long as a British accent isn't a problem. 

 

I figure if people have a problem with accents, then there is a problem with people.

Accents don’t matter. No reason Tachy (or any other character) can’t have a British accent.

While we have a great script, we could always add a few commercials. So if anyone has any ideas for those, that would be great.

One idea might be Unity selling mini robot kits for kids.

These can also add a few mini parts if people don’t want to do a bigger one.

Well if the characters are supposed to be from American places, a British accent might be a bit weird. But hey, I'm good with whatever the directors think. 

How about Omnibot home robot kits? (From Aldred Industries, of course. :wink: )

Wow! This thread grew overnight. For me it was literally overnight since I live in Japan, and it’s morning now. Anyway, glad to see interest picking up. I was a little worried there for a bit. I can’t view the spreadsheet while I’m at work, and so it’ll be a while before I can see who’s signed up for what. Silverleaf, at this point the only character I would absolutely oppose having a non American accent is Legacy. I think it would be preferable if Bunker and General Armstrong were also Americans, but people with accents in the American millitary is completely plausible. I agree with Pydro that there is no reason that Wraith or Tachyon can’t have a British accent.

This seems like a creative decisions, and since I lack any creativity I will let Nielzabub answer this.
