I need comedians/writers & voices 2013-04-20 17:00:13 Reply

Here's why, http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/615808

My animation is lacking liveliness that voice acting and a fuller script can give it.

If anyone would be interested in writing or being a voice for my show, or another project, then feel free to let me know.

I'm ready and willing when you are.

That was really enjoyable. I think you'd be an excellent addition.

Sounds good. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm currently working on a script and getting everything organized,

so I will PM you when I know what I'll need.

GET IN LINE!

I only kid; I'd be happy to include you. The more voices, the better.

I told the other voice actors that I will write that script and get it to everyone, so that will now apply to you too.

I appreciate your interest.

Just thought I'd allow everyone to have a say in this project, since you'll likely be a part of it.

I most certainly will.

Most of the characters are not human, and the ones that are are extremely charismatic and exaggerated. So all of the characters will require some voice manipulation.

The main (and only recurring) character, 8-Bit Thomas, is already covered.

I already PM'd you what I had (without watching any of the animations, which may have been poor planning) but I'll post it here as well.
Here is my half-assed take on it. Haha


I voice act because I'm insecure about my weight.

Want me to recreate this for you?
What sort of feel were you looking for?
Is it supposed to be sad?

That would be amazing actually (you could replace the 'he' with 'I' )
The song is kind of ambiguous. It's not sad but it has a melancholy rhythm.

It's already better quality than its predecessor.

Just keeping it updated.

-Script is written
-Story is planned
-Voice Acting is pending, but near closing

If there are any requests, questions or concerns, we can discuss matters freely.

Keep me updated on what role(s) you put me in as, so I can revise them if necessary.

Sounds great. You're doing a great job. Once the other voices are in, I will let you and everyone know who is voicing who.

I've decided to keep my voice out of the mix. I had the music sounding quite nice, but I gave up out of a hatred for my voice - especially after a day of puking. Haha

But, anyway, this is how the music was sounding (would've done a lot more if I planned to finish it), in case you want to use it and refit some vocals.

Well, I appreciate the effort, so I may use that later though, if you don't mind. And I'll still give you credit. I just had a little something else in mind now that I've had time to evaluate more profoundly.

This is where I ended up going with it until I stopped.

If you've got something else, and you need any help with the idea, I'd be happy to chip in!
