I would front page post or try the Voice Actor Wanted thread. If there aren't any suggestions/takers in here.

Yes! That thread is awesome! It's literally what got me back to newgrounds, you'll recieve more candidates that you expect for the job x)

If you get too desperate I can help, but I'm not really sure I can pull out the noir voice :/

Response to Round 1! - ( Tofa 2011 ) 2011-05-22 16:10:12


Holli Would Example
Jessica Rabbit Example

More like a character that is constantly oozing Sex Appeal. The kind of attitude thats along the line of thinking "I'm sexy, I know, and I can twist anyone around my finger with it.". Think you can do that?

So is anyone familiar with Hideo Kojima's game "Stalker"? Because the guy who played the main character in the English dub of it was my Voice Acting for Animation teacher... and he may also be playing my main character.

Haven't finished writing yet. (And it's only about a minute long, lolololol)

Hey, soooooooooo....

I don't know if I have enough physical time to write reviews for EVERY open round entry. So far I've got JoHoBo2, someplaceelse, and LazyModeComics.

If you'd like an in depth Thor review, let me know and I'll put yours as priority. Otherwise I'll just keep selecting works at random from the list and go from there

Response to Round 1! - ( Tofa 2011 ) 2011-05-25 16:22:18


Progress Reports everyone?

So I originally thought mine would be like a minute long... but after getting all the sound together, it turns out its like 6 and a half minutes.... Which is still do-able, as alot of it is inner monologueing and one section isn't timed correctly yet and there is a potential minute and a half Id cut right there. This will be fun >.>

Response to Round 1! - ( Tofa 2011 ) 2011-05-26 03:04:02


I've only done about 12 seconds of animation.
But I usually cram like 50% of it in the last 3 days anyway.

Animation?

I have the audio and one background... does that count?

But I've finally finished my exams so I might as well start doing something... soon :D

Response to Round 1! - ( Tofa 2011 ) 2011-05-26 14:38:52


About 5% done. Here's what I've accomplished over the last ten days:

-Came up with an idea
-Decided it was stupid
-Came up with a better idea
-Wrote a script
-Decided that the script was stupid

Now I'm rewriting most of the script.

Response to Round 1! - ( Tofa 2011 ) 2011-05-26 19:08:05


So that "minute and a half" I thought would get cut turned out to only be 30 seconds... which is still a good cut, but not nearly as much as I wanted it to be lol. I think its do-able. Got 2 more weeks... yeah.... I got this.... Ill be finishing the storyboards tonight hopefully.

Response to Round 1! - ( Tofa 2011 ) 2011-05-27 16:01:09


Heres a screenshot from mine. Its 51 scenes long >.> and 6 minutes. Ive already completed 3 scenes.... this will take a while lol

I bought Flash CS4 when it came out, and I'm still discovering bugs I haven't seen before.

There's this one weird bug that it's hard to explain, that I've been having ever since I had flash 8 on my old computer (tho it was less common), but I've found more common in cs4, and I recently made a thread about it and noone replied. Basically sometimes that I fill some part of a drawing another part gets filled with black, a random color, or just dissappears, and this is kind of annoying.

Also if Adobe programs are going to crash so much, why hasn't there been an autosave function already?!

Ok, enough bitching, finally I'm getting a little work done.

Good luck to everyone. :)

Aww you all are doing all these sophisticated stuff and working on schedule... mine is.... 80 seconds exactly lol, well guess it's not that bad, I started animating a little today, gotta hate the lip-synching, before it was only audio and backgrounds. My goal are 30 seconds today (just made that up). :D
