If you're looking for voice actors, there's the Newgrounds' Voice Acting Club. There's also a roster of all its members, if you want to try handpicking your VA people. Hope this helps!

[This is not a double-post. The Government is lying to you. You have been lied to by the Government into thinking this is a double-post. DAMN THE MAN!]

Okay.... It's been a long time coming but here it is!

THE NEWGROUNDS VOICE ACTING CLUB ROSTER!!11!!!1!!1 All updated now and nicely culled of members who don't have samples. Booya! Check out if your profile is there, I may have deleted it or forgotten to add it by mistake. I hope I haven't but I might have. Just saying. A guy can go cross-eyed staring at HTML too long.

Anyway, here are some of my thoughts on some of the morbid and less-than-happy topics that have been circulating here now. Geez, people are on a downer on the 101st page.... It's like.... The "page after" or something and everybody's having hangovers and complaining. O.o Seriously though, I think this is just a little rough patch the club is going through because not a lot is really happening, so we're turning on one another for something to do. It's the "cabin fever" syndrome. Admittedly however, there's also the added pressure of competition from the large number of members in this club. I mean, there's 8 female members and 51 male members in the roster, and those are the ones WITH samplers. That's a whole lotta competition, and that's not not even including the various "casual" VAs on NG.

Getting roles is going to get more cutthroat as the members list grows, there's no denying it; to the point where if you discover a casting call for VA people in some obscure part of the NG BBS (or off it, even. Plenty of roles out on the interweb if ya looks), you have to ask yourself.... "Do I really want to tell this guy about the NGVAC and decrease my chances of getting in, or do I keep quiet and increase it, instead?". Don't tell me you haven't thought of that question yourself, because I know *I* have. O.o It's especially hard for the really new people with no resume and no reputation that they can rely on to provide work through scouting producers. They're definitely going to be hard-up for work, and it doesn't help that the "more experienced" people are batting them off like flies. Yeah. O.o

So in conclusion, this situation sucks, and I don't see how it's going to get any better unless more flash producers have open auditions for stuff. The End. For Now. Now let's move on! *moves on*

Oh, and the equipment I use to record my lines = Labtec stand mic + Soundblaster Audigy soundcard + Cool Edit Pro. It's a nice little setup. Nothing that'll take on a closed recording booth with professional sound boards and engineers, but it works. The thing which makes my sampleage sound so good is my Audigy card. That thing is a nice piece of work, dat she is. I likes her. And I think it's going cheap now, unless Soundblaster has liquidated all their Audigy stock in favour of Audigy 2.0.

Man, I go to sleep and I miss the 100th page? That sucks. Well, I'm just going to pretend THIS is the 100th page. *pretends* .... Nope, reality isn't morphing and shifting to my will. Rats. In any case: Happy Belated 100th page, NGVAC people! Let's party like it's the 50th! WOO! I'm always one page too late for this sort of thing.... @_@

Well, megapost now!

vel_jack: Haha, so you finally worked up the courage to post a profile after all the heartache with the recording of lines and coming to grips with recording programs and uploading and what not. Good job! Wish more new people had the same sense of patience you do. I have to agree with Bezo's sentiments though, regarding the amount of noise you have hovering in the background, and also the one noise reduced file which sounded a little metallic on the ears. Try to reduce (ha!) the amount of noise reduction you use by a WEE bit and I think it should be just fine. It'll eliminate most of the noise while keeping your voice free of robot flavour. In any case, welcome to the club! Your roster will be added to the soon, profile. I mean, your profile will be added to the roster soon. I tire of saying that.

Bezo: Thanks once again for the backup reviews! And for someone who doesn't like net-drama, you seem to enjoy dabbling your fingers in it once in a while. :-P But hey, who am I to talk? I likes me an occasional fight, yarr! And we all go a little crazy sometimes. That's what mother tells me. And mother is always right. @_@ Oh, great work on that little MK flash, too! We'd done seen it before when you posted it on this thread but great job for getting it out on the portal to an equally great score. Booyah! And implied horrific violence = great, still.

Renewman: Sorry man, I thought it was better to be completely honest and give a little praise with lots of pointers than paying needless compliments that wouldn't have helped you very much. Don't worry man, you're a heck of a lot better than I was when I first started way back upwards to 5 years ago! It's just that the learning curve for this club is a lot steeper and a lot less gentle than what I went through. I mean, when I first started, I had a crappy mic that came bundled with my Sound Blaster 16 and used the (rather lame) recording software that came with it. And that was completely acceptable. Now.... I still have a rather crappy mic (a stand computer mic.... Labtec, as well so don't diss their products! They make good, cheap stuff) admittedly with an Audigy soundcard and CEP. With your current setup, you should be able to do just fine. Just experiment with the clean-up options in Audacity, I hear they're actually quite powerful, you just need to be able to handle them in the same way a man handles a woman: with tender loving care. And while I can't help with the "I think I suck part" but keep this in mind.... Almost everybody here who's seen a flash with their voice in it can name at least ONE (if not a whole bunch) of productions where they thought the same thing. It's just something that sometimes not even the most practised and experienced of people can avoid because it just goes COMPLETELY WRONG. Just food for thought there.

Man, has anyone noticed how nice I've become lately? Must be the college thing interefering with my anger-sense. Anyways, onwards.

Shalamaseskia: Nice work on that! Your quality kinda goes all over the place (lots of BG noise for some lines.... Not that much for others) but this definitely looks like a series that'll be fun to be in for the long haul. I look forward to future episodes. And you puffed WAY too much for that one scene (you know what I'm talking about). :-P

t0ast: I wish *I* had a cookie. Lousy Vel_jack getting 100th page post *grumbles grumbles* why I oughta....!

Elliair: Yay, you're back! And yes, you can be a female Simon Cowell. Only more sexy and more female. And less Simon Cowell. So in otherwords, you can't be SImon Cowell, so just be you when reviewing the clips. O.o And you know you want to megapost. G'wan. Do it. Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do isca do it do it do it....

TVs_Slayer: Sorry man, I'll try and get you those lines for the NGVAC advertisement ASAP. That's two acronyms in a single setnce. Could it be that I'm slowly turning into a corporate schill??? *gasps!* And hey, I think we're all in this club for the fun of it, it's just that after a while the club might become more like work than it is fun.... Well, I guess I see your point, anyway.

Gamedisk: Just click on "contact author" in this post. It's right there. I look forward to the script, Hamlet or no. Just be prepared for me to rewrite everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. In fact, send the script to me first to edit, and then you can pass it round to everybody else if you're happy with the edits. Trust me, I like to say good lines, so if I do any kind of editing it is to make lines -> great.

Shinigami_Ichigo: Yeah, megasposts are basically my convenient way of keeping track of everything going on when I should be working on stuff for college. I just do these huge posts so I can get everything said in one go. I'm lazy that way. O.o

It'll provide the details for how to join, as well as help on how to fill the requirements. PLEASE DO NOT POST A PROFILE WITHOUT A SAMPLER UPLOADED SOMEWHERE FOR DOWNLOAD.

There's something incredibly ironic about BlazeDragon132 being the last post I megapost reply to. Incredibly ironic, indeed.

Response to: Suggestions for a 'Stickied' topic Posted April 8th, 2005 in Audio

This is going to show my bias, but maybe a stickied post specifically for voice acting? *coughs* Specifically to point the Newgrounds Voice Acting Club and roster *coughs* Yeeeeeeeeah.... >.> Or maybe included as a general "all you need for flash audio...." type sticky?

Response to: Voice Acting Club Posted April 8th, 2005 in Clubs & Crews

Slow day today, eh? Fine with me, less stuff for the megapost to reply to! Anyway, while I've been off the NGVAC braving the academic minefield that is college, I found time to do some mixing for an audioplay episode of Lifepoint1's Kazahana Family Mass Battle series. Have a download of 471's Introduction and tell me what you think! Or don't if you're feeling lazy and/or don't care. It stars Lucien, G-Force (not an NGVAC member) and myself. Listen to it with the lights turned off. It might help set the mood!

Also, had a bit of a talk with audigy over getting a website of some sort so everything NGVAC-related becomes centralised in a single location: So if people want to join, need help on stuff, want a server to upload their samplers/work to or need someone to turn to and complain thoroughly, then they can do it at that site. Admittedly, they can do it here as well but.... The site could provide facilities like tutorials and stuff so we don't have to constantly tell people what to do to clean up samples in Audacity or whatnot. Well, I don't know what everybody thinks about that idea but it sounds nice to me.... Though I'm still torn on the idea if the NGVAC really needs its own website. There was talk of turning this into some kind of money-making enterprise as well, but for now: concentrate on the idea of having a NGVAC website. Good idea, or non? I'm worried about the server fees a bit, myself. Nobody wants to do anything that isn't free. O.o

And now, megapost.

Shalamaseskia and Bezo: Judging from the number of people I still have to remind over the need for a sampler, it looks like it ain't gonna stop anytime soon. At least I have a ready-made cut-n-paste response now. Saves me the time I'd normally spend typing out several paragraphs worth of material, explaining that their lack of sampler is directly proportional to their cranial capacity.

grim_studios: Great stuff. Your swf resume still isn't working for me, but the html link does so your resume looks fine to me! I'll just add the link to your resume in your roster profile.

Hoeloe and MustardGT: If you want to join the club, check out the How to Join? section of the Newgrounds' Voice Acting Club Roster. It'll provide the details for how to join, as well as help on how to fill the requirements. PLEASE DO NOT POST A PROFILE WITHOUT A SAMPLER UPLOADED SOMEWHERE FOR DOWNLOAD.

Don't try and join if you don't have a working microphone. That's just plain stupid.

RamsesThePigeon: Ooooh, very nice sampler! Did you script, mix and voice all that yourself? Cause that was quite the awesome, and many shades of funny too! I'll add your profile to the roster later on.

Shinigami_Ichigo: Cool Edit Pro = Tops. Especially when you want to try your hand at mixing. Then it becomes such a topfest it's like.... Topless! Or something like that.

t0ast: Nice sampler! You've got good control on your voice there. I'm not entirely sure if your resume is really a resume, since the only role you've listed is Black Belt from the Black Belt vs Black Mage and even then it was to note you didn't make the final cut. O.o Still, I'm more concerned with the availability of a sampler more than anything else, so since you've provided that, welcome aboard! I'll add your profile to the roster later.

TESM: Yeah, yeah, don't worry. Your profile is right here on my "to add" list of pe-- OH MY GOD THE LIST IS ON FIRE! AW GAWD! NOW MY HAND THAT WAS HOLDING ONTO THE LIST IS ON FIRE! NOW I'M ON FIRE! AAAAHHHHHH THE FIRE BURNS SO VERY MUCH! So anyway, after my body becomes nothing but a charred mess of bones and melted flesh, your profile will be added. Fer real. You just worry about your ACTs, and I'll worry about putting myself out before the sheer pain of being burned alive renders me unconscious.

Renewman: Nice work! I have to admit though, compared to all the other VAs in there, your voice samples were crackley, hard to hear and of a significantly lower audio quality than all the other actors. Not to mention your voice just doesn't have the kind of "oomph" of personality that the other actors seem to have infused into their characters. Nice try though, and congrats to everyone who was involved! That was some good voicework there.

Response to: Voice Acting Club Posted April 7th, 2005 in Clubs & Crews

Whew. One college essay of relatively tepid academic merit down.... Two more to go! Eye of the Tiger, man. Eye of the Tiger! In any case, megapostage for the heck of it!

twilight_venom: Good luck with your flash team! It sounds like a good idea.... Gathering people who are obviously overall new to flash but have honed skills in a certain area, and then teaching each other ze l337 skillz. Nice!

FrostRhino: You'll be added... Soon. Don't worry, you're definitely on the backlog of profiles I have to update, I just need to get off my lazy ass and do it. -_-;;; Sorry about the delay! It's just that darn college life and the drunken pub crawls that's gettin' me down, yanno?

Maddogmcree2: What Bezo said. All amateur action all the time! And though we say "amateur", our highly trained throats are definitely of exceptional "professional" quality! .... I feel strangely dirty for saying that.

vel_jack: I meant, see my reply to him in reply to a post you made which you might not have remembered so the joke would have been lost on you so.... Eh, whatever. And as far as I know.... You never posted a complete profile with samplers to the NGVAC? I mean, I see you've got samplers now, but you never made a profile thang, so....

grim_studios: Oh, it's not so bad. Once you've gotten a few megaposts under your belt, replying to people like this ish the easiest thing in the world. Even just to say el oh el. Though it's still kinda weird. Also, I'll update your profile with your MSN, but I can't seem to see anything on your resume page except a blank page.... Are you sure you've linked the flash properly? How about just have a list of roles in html, instead?

The_Zodiak: Can do, noted your new sampler and will add it to your profile on the roster when I update! Maybe I should do it soon. People seem to be getting antsy about it.

Gamesdisk: Errrrr.... Is that the final script? Or are you still working on it? You mind emailing the cast the script, 'cause I sure as heck ain't gonna remember what page it was on when you posted it.... Also, if you don't mind, let me go through it and do some random fixes. I have itchy script-monkeys.

KagomeHigurashi: Good luck with the panel! And calm down with the hissyness when you don't get a role! Geez, we all have an imperfect batting average when it comes to auditions, and you're not the only one who got passed over for Morphemon. O.o Just face the fact that sometimes you're going to get passed over for someone else and deal with it. Everyone has a different vocal quality and sometimes that's just not what people are looking for, yanno?

LazyKenny: That flash movie has touched the very depths of my soul. The works of Leonardi Da Vinci, Vincent Van Gogh or even Matt Stone and Trey Parker.... are no match for the magnificent revelation that was that flash movie. My life was forever been changed in that single moment! when I first laid eyes on that flash. Now, all else is but sorrow.... Now my continued existence is one devoid of life.... love.... and laughter. Bastard. @_@

audigy: I love the idea of the NGVAC having its own website. On the otherhand, that sure sounds like a lot of work. I mean, if you really want to do it, go ahead and lay the foundations for that site and in time people will utilise it for their own benefit. In other words: If you build it, they will come. That's kinda what I did in regards to the roster. I felt tired of seeing people post their profiles on the thread and it being lost in a couple of pages, so BAM! Made a roster for the heck of it. Now people post half-completed profiles without a sampler linked to be added to it! Amazin'! Admittedly, your project sounds way more ambitious than my attempt at a roster, but I think it stands a chance to succeed due to the convenience of having all the info on the club centralised.... On the otherhand, I fear the onset of newbies who'll abuse the opportunities and apply without reading the rules. Again. Oy.

Shinigami_Ichigo: Voted 5. Looks like it's doing well to me! Nice work there. Kudos to you, Hobbes_The_Prince and D-Mac_Double!

finalfantasyfighter and t0ast: If you want to join the club, check out the How to Join? section of the Newgrounds' Voice Acting Club Roster. It'll provide the details for how to join, as well as help on how to fill the requirements. PLEASE DO NOT POST A PROFILE WITHOUT A SAMPLER UPLOADED SOMEWHERE FOR DOWNLOAD. DO NOT SAY "I'LL MAKE ONE LATER" OR "I'll GET A MICROPHONE IN THREE MONTHS" OR "EMAIL ME FOR SAMPLES PLZ, K?". GET A SAMPLER, HAVE IT UPLOADED AND LINK IT BEFORE POSTING YOUR PROFILE. THIS IS NOT A NEGOTIABLE POINT. THIS MESSAGE IS IN ALL-CAPS AND BOLDED FOR A REASON. SORRY IF IT SEEMS REPETITIVE, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THIS POINT WAS CONVEYED PROPERLY.

Bezo: Considering the fact that my flash career is made up of big movies that occasionally feature on the frontpage, you can probably tell my stance on the whole roles thing. Small roles, big roles, they all have a chance of failing big time if the flash producers don't have their act together. At least if you have a big role, when it finally DOES come out.... It comes out with a BANG! BOOM! MINT! Thass mah motto. Look for the big'uns.

Renewman: Well, I could add that movie to your Special Notes section as a role you've done, but only if you give me a link to that movie. If you want to have a resume with an exhaustive list of your roles, you're going to have to make that yourself.

TripleArrow: Noted, will update your profile with resume and new sampler link later. Geez, does no one remember my name anymore to make these requests or do people just assume the roster updates itself through some autonomous process unbeknownst to common man?

Maynz: Good luck with the hosting thing. Most people reccomend ripway and it seems to be the most reliable to me. Some also have their stuff spread over several servers as backup copies if that helps.

Well, for two days worth of a megapost, that wasn't too bad at all.

Hmmm.... Posting this in a seperate message because I hit that work count.... Again. Le sigh. Why am I cursed to write such long messages? WHY AM I CURSED SO????

Anyway. People seem to be interested in how my username is pronounced and where it comes from.... And why DOES it sound so villainish and evil? Well, I could lie and say it's the name of a villainous Transformer from the ultra-violent and dark version of the Japanese iteration of Transformers known as Super Genki Kawaii Transformers Y!!! but that would be a lie. And an obvious one at that. I briefly considered recording the Megatron/Unicron conversation in Transformers: The Movie and subsitute "Unicron" with "Omahdon" for fun.... But no. That would shame the magnificence that is Orson Welles' performance.

However! (getting to a point now) My username IS derived from an 80s cartoon movie which featured a similarly rumbley-throated VA in the role of.... Omahdon. Which I think I've spellt incorrectly but I had it that way as my internet handle since I first started and it's stuck. Find the movie, and you'll find out how it's meant to be pronounced. Yes, follow the clues! My destardly clues meant to confound and confuse! Mwahahahahahaha!

And in voice acting news.... Check out Xin Session 14! It features the talents of TamTu, sittolytic, Lucien and KagomeHigurashi! Oh, and I'm in there somewhere as well. But everybody forgets about me and my characters, anyway. XD

Response to: Voice Acting Club Posted April 5th, 2005 in Clubs & Crews

Just when I thought I'd seen the last of my megaposts and would never do another one ever again.... THEY PULL ME RIGHT BACK IN! ARGH! Y'all talks too much, y'hear. ;_;

HollywoodSound: Thanks for the offer, though I don't know if anybody would take you up on it.... We're kinda insecular that way. You're a Pro Tools user though, right? Then you and Bezo have something in common! So.... Talk! And stuff! Hang around and be merry in this merry little club thread! And what not!

Bezo: I likes the animation. It ish funny. Implied graphic and rather painful violence = hillarious. And being a quarter-me isn't so bad. You can be quarterly-destructive in your replies to posts and a quarterly-number of people will think it's only a little joke you like to play to keep people on their toes when secretly, quarterly-down inside, you quarterly-hate them all. @_@ Yes. Thanks for the backup reviews though! They really help me feel like I'm not the only one listening to these samplers and having to form an opinion about the viability of some people's entries. Now I don't have to be the only one here, mwahahahahahaha! And will update your roster profile with new details, later.

GooGum: Man, and I was going for the "overdramaticly deep guy" voice in anime, too! Whatta gyp. :-\ Oh well, good luck with the rest of the casting anyway, it sounds like a fun, silly and whacky series in the vein of that episode of South Park which parodied the Pokemon phenomenon which I can't remember the name of nor am I actually sure if I've actually watched it but I'm pretty sure it would have been hillarious! Yes. And if you want to contact IscaShannon (or any member of the NGVAC, really) their details are usually in the roster. Or you could just ask. One of the two. They both work, really.

Gamesdisk: I thought I was doing the voce of Stan? Or was I wrong? O.o

grim_studios: Welcome to the NGVAC. Where nobody stops talking. Ever. They just keep talking.... And talking.... I can hear them whispering.... All the time! Whispering in the very walls of my house! The rats.... THE RATS IN THE WALLS!11!!! CTHULU F'TAGN!!1!!!

vel_jack: See: grim_studios

Maddogmcree2: Woof. 2.6MB wav? You need mp3 compression.... Badly! Anyway, you've got a nice natural voice and speaking tone which.... Doesn't actually translate that well into anime-style voices but with a little practice you could apply it elsewhere. The quality is a bit suspect, and the sample is rather short (especially for its filesize) and features only one kind of voice to any great degree but those are issues that can be looked into and tweaked with little difficulty. In any case, welcome to the club! I'll add your profile to the roster later.

Elliair: I'm a nice guy....Honestly, I am! Except when I'm not but that only happens when I go crazy. We all go a little crazy. Sometimes. Like on people with non-existent or poor samplers. Which brings up a point: Please don't immediately tell everyone who has a sampler that they'll be added to the roster later. Because that sampler might be.... less than adequate.... and they should be advised to go away and come back after they've got something with a bit more.... competence. Just saying we shouldn't get their hopes up in case their sampler is utterly terrible and consists of sounds which not even the damned legions of Hell could hope to conjure up. And there goes my subtlety right out the window. Whoosh! Out it goes! And I hope you get your equipment back from your unkindly mother. ;_; Maybe you could report her for child abuse and oppressing you for your culturally misunderstood (but acceptable by the constitution for free speech) hobbies and actions! Hey, some of that's gotta work on the authorities.

twilight_venom: The problem is, I don't think many flash producers would look for a seperate person to script a story for them and do it themselves.... And probably the voiceovers too. But the likelihood of producers wanting to hire seperate VA people to do voicework for them is probably higher than a flash animator looking for someone to do scripts for them. It's just something that's worked out that way on NG, I guess.

Neiro: Geez man, that's a real low blow. Only I am allowed to abuse the talents of the people here! And even then, I'm usually only half-joking and realise that they have skills in other aspects of voice acting that I could never hope to match. Usually. Sometimes. Oh heck, I'm superior to all of ya and you know it! BOW TO ME! @_@ *head pops like a pin to a balloon* I deserved that. Anyway, that was an extremely mean thing to say. And do you honestly think anybody else is going to audition for you now that they've heard comments like that? Well.... Probably they will, to be honest.... But in principal, don't bite the hand that's trying to help you, huh? We're all just trying to help out with your VAing needs as best we can, and if you don't like it just say, "Thank you for your contribution, but they currently do not meet our needs" and move on. Don't throw that help back in our face and say that we suck. That hurts. And you're the one that sucks, you suckersuck. You suck so much that when you suck around the suck, you suck AROUND the suck. Sucker.

Shock_Dingo: NOOOOOOOOO! CAR INSURANCE IS NEEDED FOR CONTINUED HAPPINESS! IT'S ALL ABOUT DA PIMPIN' RIDE, BAYBEE! :-P Nice work on that sampler! I'll add it to your examples list on your profile.

The_Zodiak: Ah, so you've decided to sign up! :-) Nice demo with a large variety of voices and styles! I likes it. You've got a some problems with sound distortion at the higher volumes, but that can be easily rectified; and considering the fact that sample is 2 years old, I'm sure you've got them all fixed up and sounding sparkling in the interum! In any case, welcome to the club! Your profile will be added to the roster latah!

Lucky_design: Oooooh.... Nice work! I think people are a little shocked that there are so many authors to this one little thing, though. XD Nice to see you took my advice about shortening that Oracle scene.... And yes, secret ending r0xx0rz the big one!

Response to: Need a VA? I'm your guy! Posted April 5th, 2005 in Game Development

The NGVAC is more or less an excuse for a bunch of people interested in voice acting to gather together and form some sort of club. Getting jobs from a profile in the roster is usually a secondary concern, but like Twilight_Venom said, there are plenty of flash producers who post on the club thread looking for people so most of us get work that way. Being scouted through your profile on the roster is an absolute bonus when it happens. Feel free to join if and whenever you please, we're just a resource for fellow VAs to gather to!

Woof. Looks like everybody's jumping on this NGVAC radioplay bandwagon thing! I'd like to help out with all this, but this is a bad time for me.... Specifically a bad time in college that requires three essays of me in the next couple of weeks. I'd recommend starting with a script and then going from there.... Actually, starting with what CHARACTERS you want and then going from there. Improv is all well and good, but even that has to be partially scripted unless you want characters standing going "ahhhhh.... ummmm.... errrrr.....". Besides, it's not going to be a live recording and broadcast, so doing improv doesn't make nearly as much sense as putting some effort into scripting and making it good overall. In other NGVAC-related projects news: TVs_Slayer! I got yourscript and will be recording later, or something.

Also, that Morphemon thing.... I tried out for all the characters except the main male and the two females.... And got none of them. The guy said my voice is too deep, apparently. :-\ Well.... That sucks a lot, but at least I didn't spend TOO much time on recording all those lines that resulted in nothing. Still mondo disappointing, though. :-( Anyway, good luck to those of you trying out, though! Looks like a fun script. :-)

CorpseFucker sounds like he's trying to be a clever little boy. Isn't that cute? He's trying so hard to be anti-establishment you can see his eyes cross from the strain.

Response to: Voice Editting Program Posted April 4th, 2005 in Game Development

Errrr.... If Cool Edit Pro isn't cutting it, then either your requirements for a recording program are like.... WAY too high, or you're just not using it properly. I'm thinking you're not using it properly. CEP has plenty of editing software to clean up and enhance your recording, and unless you want to use studio-grade software like Pro Tools, it's the most suitable for your flash needs.

Another NGVAC project thingmajig? Wahey! XD Sounds like fun if someone would like to take the reins.... I mean, there's Elliair and Frog's Flash advertisement, as well as TVs_Slayer's project and TESM's thang. That's a lot of potential shows about the members of NGVAC that need to be brought to fruition, as well. Wouldn't it be better to concentrate on those first before leaping into this new thang?

That said, dumping ideas here is a good way to get them old grey matter working on a script so.... Go for it!

Response to: Voice Acting Club Posted April 3rd, 2005 in Clubs & Crews

Maybe I should stop making these megaposts and just stick to posting whenever I feel it relevant or necessary. Hmmmm. Nah. But I'm going to avoid the whole homosexuality thing between Hobbes_The_Prince and Shinigami_Ichigo since it's dead and buried. I will say however, that some of my favourite roles involve playing sexually ambiguous characters who seem to like both snails and oysters, if ya know what I mean. O.o And they're almost always villainously evil. What's up wit dat?

Hobbes_The_Prince: Well, I would think getting typecast means that the authors know your previous work in the first place. Which can be both a good and bad thing: For one, and the most important thing, it means that your name is getting around as a reliable voice actor who can be trusted to do certain voices and do those voices well. The second thing is, you get scouted and that's always fun, whether the actual role itself is good or bad. Thr third thing though, and perhaps the bad thing, is that you constantly get asked to do those roles because that's what people expect you to do. I've heard that happening a lot more with anime voiceover people than those with a career in American syndicated work, though. I mean, I keep hearing David Lucas, Crispin Freeman, Wendee Lee in the same type of roles over and over again, but people like Billy West, Phill Lamar, Corey Burton et al go everywhere and anywhere. On the otherhand, they're all good at what they do, so you can't knock them for that.

vel_jack: Sounds like you're dealing with a crippled version of Cool Edit Pro which only lets you save the first minute of work (I think)? You might want to see what you can do about that.... Maybe make the sample encompass one minute? Or find a *coughs*crackforit*coughs*. But whatever solution works best for you, I guess!

TVs_Slayer: Your cut-and-paste of the club greeting is missing the linkage to the roster to make sense! Nice B&B imitations. :-P

Sittolytic: Hey, Tom! Welcome! I think I know you well enough to know your sampleage is great (downloaded them anyway to make sure the links are working), so I'll just add you to the roster. Again, welcome!

Elliair: Man, I hate being known as just the guy who makes megaposts. One reason why I should just stop posting them and ask for the occasional summary so I don't have to reply to all the posts I missed. Bwah. @_@

TESM: Very funny and very true strip there.... Especially about having to work with craptastic scripts. I really can't keep my fingers off the keyboard and editing the short lines to be something more... eloquent when I see stuff like "wat s sumtin rong they r attack o no". Ergh. That's a worst case scenario, but you know what I mean. Being able to keep a handle on the story and not just rambling away into nonsense is something that some flash producers have trouble with. O.o

Bezo: Man, those clips are funny even without the visual elements. XD Awesome work there, to both you and KagomeHigurashi!

MaKd: .... You're just lucky that Elliair helped you out before I had time to dish out unholy rage upon you. Well, since your sampler is up and I've heard you before in the Disgaea series, I guess you're in! Very nice array of voices in your sampler and at a nice quality.... though with some mic puffs here and there, a bit of distortion from being too loud and some very obviously artificial pitch changes. But nice job! I'll get you on the roster when I next update.

In regards to flash authors who don't have their act together and waste everyone's time.... Well, they suck. If they have never done a movie before, EVER, or they're still trying to grasp the basics, then they have no business trying to start up a collaboration and drag everyone else down with them. It's usually the very, very new people who have only a movie or two that barely scrape into the portal that are the troublemakers, I feel. I know that's probably a gross generalisation, but it hasn't steered me wrong yet when I'm looking at prospective roleage and wondering whether or not I should even try. Being able to check out the author's profile = godsend. On the otherhand, it has occasionally cost me some good roles, but I try not to think about that. O.o

Man, page 90 of this thread is turning out to be the bitter one where we complain about flash producers who waste our time and effort. And about chimp_cartoons, who is the personification of all the above, and enjoying his downfall. We're going to go to hell, that we are. XD;;; Oh, oh! I even made a radioplay about this.... A little over a year ago. It's actually more about disappearing radioplay producers than about flash producers but the message remains the same. Take a listen: The Producer Black Hole. It stars Sittolytic, Sadsiren and myself.

Itsa me-a! Omahdon!

vel_jack: eep. A 3MB file on a Geocities server? I'm surprised I'm even able to download it right now.... And listen to Bezo about the bandwidth thang. Geocities runs out like nothing else, and putting a 3MB file up for download doesn't help matters any. You should really have small, compact demos up for download amongst several different sites so if the bandwidth runs out of one, at least there'll be backups elsewhere. But since you're just putting up this sample for critique rather than necessarily joining the club, I'll just stop with the advice for getting your files online and say what I think of your sample. Overall, I'd say you've got something going for ya, with a little practice and more voice projection and enthusiasm. Good redneck voice at the start.... Weird second voice that's hard to hear properly.... A third voice that is quite possibly meant to be Calculon from Futurama except you need to be FILLED WITH THE JOY OF MELODRAMATIC ACTING to get him down properly.... A fourth voice that's meant to sound like someone who's tense and on the verge of panic, only you end up sounding like someone TRYING to sound like someone who's tense and on the verge of panic. Same with the fifth voice. And then there's this weird background noise throughout the entire file, not to mention the filesize is a bit large for one and a half minutes of material. But you get all that cleaned up and save as an mp3, and you've got a sampler, methinks.

xsmorrisx: Woo! That's a pretty darned long monologue and quite a mouthful to try and wrap one's speaking organ around. And you want a Charlie Sheen voice? And there's no immediate guarantee that this will be turned into a flash animation, you just want to hear us say it? Okaaaay.... I'll see whut we kin dos.

Shock_Dingo: Man, the yaoi is flowin' in the forum today, innit? First it was lesbians, now it's all about the manlove. @_@

Hobbes_The_Prince: MSN is the devil anyway. Get out and live life! Don't be chained to da MACHINE! @_@ FIGHT DA MICROSOFT POWA!

flamesvamp: "Only genuine unbroken kid's voice on NG"? I think not. And those guys have samples.

LazyKenny: Hey, I said Happy April Fools Day on the bottom of page 85! Sure it wasn't bolded or italicised, but it WAS capitalised!

El_Shamro: We don't have to admit anything about the Numa Numa dance. WE ADMIT NUTHINK! @_@

audigy: Just be sure to update me with the links to the files when you do. I've directly linked your sample files in your profile's examples section, so when you go a'changin' them around, just be sure to warn me so I can update.

Elliair: Then let the heterosexually-charged nibbling of chocolate off the flesh of a woman commence! @_@ And perhaps there'd be some yaoi going on in the background for people who like it that way. Thanks for posting that unofficial first post thing again, btw. *emo tear* ;_; Ish sho bewdifool.

Frogs: Wait, you've actually been helping people to redo their demos? You have risen above and beyond the call of duty there, I think. Leyt them fend for themselves for a change! XD If they can't figure out how to do noise reduction/filters or audio editing on their own without you stepping in and doing it for them, then I really don't think they'd survive the daily rigours of recording for other people. It'd be nice if we could have a set of basic, written instructions on how to do some of the basic editing stuff in a variety of programs, but the amount of hand-holding there may become excessive. If you want, I can take your name off the "for more help, contact so-and-so".... Or better yet, I could try putting my own name on! .... Maybe not a good idea, since I'm completely psycho.

TESM: Thanks for the intiative at doing something NGVAC related, we really appreciate it! And don't worry, I got your profile and everything, it'll go on the roster when I update it.... Possibly next week. I don't feel like updating it this week.

And in terms of hardware, I use a Labtec mic that's plugged into a Sound Blaster Audigy with gold jacks, and use Cool Edit Pro to play around and clean up my recordings. Some people use a more professional setup, your mileage may vary. Depending upon the compression used by flash animators however, all that work could be rendered into pure liquid crap. Which can be mildly irksome.

Ayup. Shore is quiet round this 'ere parts. Why it's so quiet I can make a megapost at the end of the day and it'd still be on the same page as the one I made at the start. Maybe I'll go see what's on late-night TV. Or do some of that studying I'm supposed to do cause of all that college whack. Or something. ONWARDS!

Hobbes_The_Prince: Yeah, I'm just plain not auditioning for many things nowadays simply because I don't have time and because I have a have a backlog of lines I owe people anyway. I should probably do the responsible thing and get them out of the way.... But I just drink a tall glass of orange juice which I'm sure has cause exceptional havoc on my voice. Yeah. So I'll do it.... latah. And I have to admit, I've never done a straight recording session of 2 hours before.... I usually break up recording lines with editing them, filtering for noise, cutting up into seperate lines for the producers etc. Now that I think about it: I've never recorded stuff straight for more than 10 minutes at a time, if that.

Shock_Dingo: I'm covered in clam sauce and waiting at the local run-down seedy motel just 3 blocks away. Meet me there. @_@

Elliair: But I've been told licking chocolate sauce off people's bodies is exceptionally seXX0rz! Especially if you lick and nibble in the right places. @_@;;;

Shinigami_Ichigo: Made you look. :-P

audigy: Welcome! Your profile has been noted and will be added to the roster later. I have to admit, your samples used a higher than usual amount of artificial processing than I'm used to hearing in other samples, but when I could hear your natural voice it was pretty obvious you got some of the skills relevant to be here. And those skills are voice acting skillz, yarr. Welcome aboard!

D-Mac_Double: Thanks for the backup review of the sampleage! Keep in mind though, don't automatically say they're going to get on the list.... Cause the samples might not be up to par and need redoes or something. Just don't get people's hopes up or what not. O.o

Wow, this was a short megapost. I'm vaguely disappointed. Anyway.... Cull time approaching! Are u ready???? Well, silly and overdramatic question to ask, I guess. And HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY for the poor saps amongst you who are still going through the day when pratfall jokes and physically dangerous pranks are mandatory. You poor, poor fools.

Bezo: I'm not normally this full of egotistical furor, I'm really a nice guy! Usually. Sometimes. Occasionally. Rats. But I'm a nice guy, honest!

Shalamaseskia: Is my excessive wordiness scaring people or something? O.o;;; Man, I should have stuck to just being the "crazy, angry guy".... Now I got "scary" to go along with that. And not the humorous kind of scary as employed by Vincent Price and countless Hammer Horror films, but the "tepid American remake of Japanese horror films" sort of scary!

Lucien: Yeah I noticed the weird line inconsistency there too. I thought you just recorded those lines on different days or something. In fact, there a lot of "That's NOT the original VA doin' the talkin' there" moments, especially for Navi. One minute she's voiced by an actual girl.... Next she's voiced by a guy who's been pitched up greatly to sound like a girl. I think. It's a little weird, anyway.

rickstertherockstar: Dude, you're averaging one role a day? That's a heck of a lot better than most of us are doing, even me! And, I kinda agree on Frogs about the whole "opening up a whole lotta crap we can't handle" thing. I mean, to most NG users, voice acting is still bottom of the barrel in terms of importance for a flash production. We don't get no form of respect we's don't. On the otherhand, Bezo has demos up on his section of the audio portal and they seem to have stayed right there. So.... I dunno.

Elliair: EEK! *covers you in maple syrup instead* And thanks for summing up the whole luminousnerd thing in a single post. Arguing every point was starting to get me down. O.o So.... Do you not like sauces on you in general, or just chocolate? Shall I lick it up for you? @_@;;; Oooh! And another pages summary! Thanks for that, I knew I missed something *goes back a couple of pages*

luminousnerd: Urgh, I tire of this. I'm just going to rewrite the remainder of your Special Notes section to be less offensive and you can just read Elliair's post about this for an overview of the whole thing.

Frogs: That sounds like fun! I think I'll pass on this one, but workshops like these are a good idea to get the creativity and activity in this club flowing! Plus, they sorta work as "mini-samplers", for producers who just happen to be looking at the right page.

Hobbes_The_Prince: Welcome back to the madhouse!

Have you actually read the How to Join? section of the roster? It gives advice on how to record your stuff, where to upload and who to talk to if you need help with anything. Basically, everything has been laid out so all you need to provide is a microphone and your voice. We've seen you talk the talk, now let's see you walk the walk.

luminousnerd: No, see the Special Notes section is there to note major acheivements and stuff; it's just that the wording of your Special Notes makes you sound very much like an arrogant ass who's full of himself.
That's actually what you are supposed to sound like on a résumé...

This isn't a resume. This is a profile that's going on a roster that could quite possibly LINK to a resume if and when you get one.

Finally, while I'm leaving in the fact that you're taking voice acting lessons, I'm a bit leery about the wording you've opted to use. Taking lessons from a professional voice actor is great and can get you a lot of basics down, but you're wording it in such a way that the achievements of that actor are somehow your own.
No offense, but in the professional voice acting industry, the higher achievement of person you take lessons from, the higher accredited they are. It's also simple logic...if you take lessons from a crappy vo person, you are gonna suck too...if you take lessons from a good one, most likely you can be quite good.

Conceded but are you somehow implying that those of us who haven't taken lessons are somehow inferior? And since when do crappy voicover artists run lessons? It's pretty safe to say that if you ARE taking lessons, you'd be taking them from someone responsible enough to have carved out a niche in the VA world before trying their hands at teaching. But I'm splitting hairs here at this point so I'll leave it be.

As if somehow the fact that Chris Miller "has worked on many internet toons, as well as Playstation 2 games and MANY Hollywood movies" has anything to do with your own skill level and acheivements.
Well, it does...I learned from him.

But that doesn't make them YOUR achievements. It makes them HIS achievements which you are trying to associate with your, as of yet, unburgeoning career. You can be taught by all the best teachers in the world, but it means jack squat if you don't have your own talent to go by. Which you do, but you're definitely no Chris Miller, yet.

With no roles to speak of, an average sample and a Special Notes like the one you got: You're strutting around like a peacock without any tailfeathers. You probably didn't mean to imply anything of what I just said and I'm probably reading in a lot more into it than what's actually there, but that's just the way I see it.
Well if anyone sees it that way I suppose I should change the wording. However, I want this resume to be applicable to my professional acting resume if it gets anywhere.

Again, this is not a resume. It's a profile that goes on a roster. If you want an example of a resume, check out some of the links on the roster to see what other people have done with their resume setup. Or check out the pages of some of the professional VAs around.

Neiro: Jeebus H. Antonios, man! Stop asking that question every hour! Someone will reply ASAP, but until then stop asking for voice actors over and over and over and OVER again. Unless of course, you need it RIGHT NOW for a project that's due the very next day and that your entire life, your family, your pet dog Fluffy, nay, the WORLD as we know it, DEPENDS on you getting those voice actors IMMEDIATELY.... Which I very much sincerely doubt. So calm down. Relax! Take a siesta. Dangle that line and just sit back and relax. Someone will bite sooner or later. And btw, you DO happen to have a script to go along with that pair of voice actors' talents to grasp and not just waste their time waiting for you to sort that out? Cause if you haven't gotten a script yet.... Maybe you should do that first. And the preliminaries of character design and animation. Voice actors like to work on stuff that will be completed. It's a..... "I like to work on stuff that will be completed" sort of thing.

FrostRhino: Nice to hear you've gotten unto a few job offers already!

Frogs: Are you thinking of naughty things too? Cause I am. Oh yeah.... Naughty, naughty things. Chocolate covered tissue paper.... So HAWT. @_@

Naoki_san: Groundless statements like yours in which you purport to be able to do any and every voice in existence is just going to be met by one phrase around here, kid: "Prove it". If you want to be taken seriously, get a sampler.
