OK, I’m making this one Friends-only. Please be aware that this hasn’t been officially announced yet, so keep it mum for the time being.
In 2006, as a promotional tool for my company’s line of pulp-genre RPG products, Thrilling Tales, I will be producing a series of mp3 podcasts in the style of the classic pulp-era radio shows of the 30s and 40s. The show will be a serial adventure in audio format, broadcast in 10-minute weekly installments.
I will be needing voice actors for the series. To be eligible for a role, you need to fit one of these two conditions:
- You must be able to digitally record your voice and send me the results as mp3 files, or
- You must be able to come to Lawrence to have me record you.
The parts will be recorded separately, and mixed in studio, so it might be a little bit odd for those of you used to being able to play off other actor’s performances. We’ll probably do a read-through of the script with the local folks, so that I can give direction, but the actual recording will be done as singles.
This will be a paid gig. Not sure of the amount just yet (trying to suss that bit out, since the product itself will be free….although it will be a promotional item for commercial products).
Anybody interested?
Me! Me! ME!
=)
oooh yeah! Sounds like great fun if a voice like mine would be useful. I would *especially* be interested in helping with read throughs, what fun! Reading radio plays out loud in a living room= big fun!
Need any English accents?
What a hoot!!! OMG that sounds like so much fun. Got any femme fatales that need voicing? =D Seriously, though, I’ve never done anything like this so I’m not so sure I’d be a good candidate.
Why yes, yes I do!
wait.
um.
Yeah.
*hugs*
Me, too, if ya need me.
You’ve got me if you want me!
Sure, I’d love to.
Also sounds like fun, although my voice may be unsuitable (and I tend to be over-the-top). Looks like you’ve got plenty of volunteers: enjoy! :)
I may, at that.
You’ve got a great voice…I’m sure you’d make a fine candidate.
Woot!
With as many female respondents as I’m getting, I think I’m going to have to feature a “Pussy Galore’s Flying Circus”-esque squadron of female daredevils!
Nifty!
….as if there was any question…. :)
“If a voice like mine would be useful”, she sez.
Naw….why would I possibly need someone who can do “sultry” at the drop of a hat? :)
lol. hell yah.
I know I said it before, but I really really like this new icon of yours.
Because you have your own fiancee in house to do the same?
Hee hee, at any rate, I will be happy to help. :>
oh yes, yes yes.
and for mens voices- may I recommend Adammaker? He does an evil laugh that is truly magnificent. :>
If you need any other women, and I qualify, I’d love to do it!
Sounds like a blast and I’d love to help. You already have plenty of women volunteering though. So, I don’t have to but I’d be willing if you have a need. :)
Possibly, if I can get some recording equipment from some tech-savvy friends. Either that or rustle up an airfare and a place to kip for a few nights :p
Very. Especially as a BIG fan of the old radio programs like The Shadow and Inner Sanctum. Any idea of the timetable involved?
Not sure of the timetable yet. I still have to write the script.
However, the plan is for it to be a 2006 release, so I’d probably want to do recording in December or January.
REALLY glad to hear you’re interested. You were at the top of my list. Your voice is, as they say in NYC, “ta DIE.”
Aaaaaww *blush*
One of the reasons i asked about a timetable is that I don’t have the recording equipment noted, but canmake the trip to Lawrence … just wanted to make sure what the situation would be in conjunction with ASSASSINS.
Ditto for me with what she said…on all counts
Dec. and Jan we don’t have a whole lot going on, and the living room is full of studio equipment, so if you could use me…
And me!
::kicking myself for not reading this before every other female I know has already resonded::
Huh duh! I’ll even promise to stop doing my own podcasts and selling similar material. :grin:
Far be it from me to turn down people with their own gear…. :)
Bastard.
I have to say that’s one of the coolest marketing angles I’ve ever heard of – pulp-era podcast to promote Thrilling Tales. Oustanding, man!
Aw, thanks! I’m happy to give it a shot, but if I don’t work out, you won’t hurt my feelings by saying “you just ain’t got it, kid.” =)
OK, I see you’ve been bombarded with responses, but I thought I’d let you know…my friend is a 6’5″ black man with a James Earl Jones voice to match. He’s also a serious gamer boy. If you need a voice that fits that description, he might be willing to lend his talents.
That’s a very cool notion.
I’d be up for it, though sadly I’d have to take the first option. I’ve got a friend up here with access to recording equipment, so I’m sure I could send files down. It’d be a lot more fun to come back down to Lawrence and record there, though.
That’s true; he does!
If any evil Germans show up, lemme know. Schweinehund! Although my voice is probably not the best one suited for the job.
