NiGHTS: Voice Acting! Audition for my radioplay -->
#1
Posted 21 June 2008 - 03:04 PM
I've recently set up a new project for myself to work on over the summer, which is a radioplay called 'NiGHTS: Ballad of Dreams.'
What is a radioplay you might ask? Well, it's sort of like a drama CD. Each voice actor that is chosen will receive a script, with their lines highlighted.
The lines that they are required to say, they will record onto a .WAV or .MP3 file and them to me.
Once I have gotten everyone's lines, I will mix them accordingly, resulting in a radioplay, talk show, drama CD, or whatnot.
I can't do this alone, though!
I need you to help me, because hey, I want to give all those aspiring voice actors a chance to play, and I can't do all the lines alone.
All the information you will need is at this handy little link:
NiGHTS: Ballad of Dreams
That includes character available, their audition lines, how to audition, what the story is about, and everything you generally need.
Please, if you have any questions or concerns I will be glad to answer them.
And if you need extra assistance on auditioning, I will provide that as well.
Good luck!

Oh man! I would love to be a part of that, even as just a Nightopian!! Being NiGHTS would be awesome too, but I'm the kinda person who isn't very good at hearing their own voice... so I'd have to do lots of recordings to figure out if I'd even consider myself ^^;
Ooh, I forgot to ask... did you need, like... any specific accents or ways of talking in particular?

No no, you don't need any specific accents or anything.
I'd love for you to try out! I bet your voice is just fine.
Oh, this sounds like so much fun! I think I'll give an audition for NiGHTS and Helen and try to send it in as soon as possible.
Sounds excellent!

EDIT: Definitely can't audition as Claris, though, as I can't carry a tune in a bucket. XDD

Edit- I thought about auditioning for Jackle, 'cause I can do the laugh, but I think it'd be too hard for me to do the voice so I'm going to try to make something for the Nightopians.
Edit 2- I was looking at the Reala lines, and I tried some. I think my voice is a little bit higher pitched than what you're looking for, but I can do sadistic and cynical pretty well. I was wondering about the second line, though, the one about it being good to have NiGHTS back. I came up with quite a few ways of saying it sadistically, so I think I'd have to see the line in context to get a good feel for it and produce the right sound.

Aw man! It's always been my (3rd) dream to be a voice actor, but my voice kinda sucks. I'm auditioning anyways.

Well, you can email me your current audition lines, and I can look them over and give a critique. In all honesty, coming up with more than one way to say something really helps me, as a director, know what kind of voice actor you are and all, so that's a good thing =3

I AM SO AUDITIONING!!!!!
Though my voice is really odd and variable, I could go for maybe Claris, Helen, or a possibility of Jackle...I can do a pretty sweet evil laugh...

The only thing is, I think I'd have an easier time if I had someone to act *with*...you know, like a skype conversation or something.

I'll try to finish it sometime today and get it uploaded, but I still think I have a crappy voice I'm just exciting about doing something during this extremely boring summer.

I think I'll try for Claris and NiGHTS. Any particular critiques you're going to use for Claris's song?

PM is fine.
This sounds awesome! Hopefully my microphone is up to the task.

I won't know what to critique with until I hear it, I'm afraid.
Hm. I think I'll give it a shot.

Can you record on skype?

As far as I'm aware, no...but, in reality, I have no quality recording program anyway. The thing is, I would want to voice act in the same way professional voice acting is done: recording on the spot with a director of sorts who critiques on the spot so retakes can be made immediately.

Well, this is not a professional situation, and this is the way I have learned to create radio plays/fandubs.
If you have any idea of a program that can be used the way you're thinking, let me know. But until then, this is the best we've got.

Gah, I'm sorry I couldn't do anything today, and tomorrow may be a bit hectic for me. I may be able to get it done tomorrow, but I'm not sure. I should definitely have it uploaded by Tuesday.
Sounds good!

I"m recording my lines but I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. I'm not very good with computers.

"1. Please record all three of the lines I have provided, in one file."

It's okay, don't worry. Just email me your recordings in any way you know how?

I did Helen instead, since singing into my microphone sounded little more than slightly-glorified speech on playback.

:3 Anyway, the deadline has past, and we now have a full cast set up, and you guys can get all the information you need (If you're casted or not) right here. So listen to our videos, and fill your minds with information 8D http://voiceactingal...ead.php?t=33201
Unfortonetly.. there's only one person missing from the show..
You.
That's right.
We need Nightopians.
If you have a mic, and want to be in the show, randomly show up now and again, then send us a clip of you screaming (in a 'pian way) and we'll probably send you a few other lines as well.
And there! You're automatically in the show :3 We want everyone in on this o__o DO IT.
So, look at the info.. and stuff XD HAVE FUN.

The references to the images in the videos were from Nightsintodreams.com
If they don't want me to use these pictures, then I'll replace them with others I can find. But! I'll be sure to reference the site.
