Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Call it a mini megapost I suppose!

Frogslegs: I suppose looking at my living room right now TV's Slayer could be taken literally. But it was on its last legs anyway, so lets just say I gently eased it into the big Sanyo afterlife. But in actuality my name is a referrence to a television personality, like when some washed up third stringer from love boat shows up on some infomercial at four in the morning hawking nipple salve, they are usually introduced as 'TV's Whomever', because no one would know who they were otherwise. Plus its also a bit of a refference to that classic show MST3K. And the Slayer part comes from the fact that I've always fancied Slayer as my 'cool nickname' since I was eight years old, and it has nothing to do with the band, I just always thought Slayer sounded cool. Boy was i wrong in hindsight. God I need to think about what i'm gonna say before I say it to cut down on this needless banter... and about the unrelated stuff: I was just saying that to be saying that, I like staying on topic too, I'm just doing my civic duty here by challenging authority. Whoo! I'm a rebel!

TripleArrowhead: I'm pretty sure Audacity is free, at least thats what everyone else has been saying, but then I've never used it.

And hey, Sunday the 15th will be my official 2 month anniversary in outsourced voice acting! How exciting that first month was, at least maybe it just seemed more exciting cause I really haven't done anything this last month. Now hows this for going off topic? Er, anyway, With the last two roles I got accepted on this last week that puts my total up to a solid 30 roles, with an astounding 18 of those cancelled! But yet I slog on, reaching for that... whatever I'm reaching for. Its not like going professional is any consideration. Maybe I just need to find something better to do with my idle time. Like not posting random bs on an unrelated forum. I need a home...

Ooo, and if you want more unrelated chatter, that new Black Eyed Peas song is awesome, or maybe its that I just think that chick in the video is hot.

Omahdon: FINALLY, someone said something about this. It will include the dates of the chats 'n stuff, as well as be the storage place for all the recordings. Also, it may be home to VAC gatherings at conventions, too. That is, if we ever plan on participating in something like that. Y'know, like the VAA. Probably not likely, but maybe. Maybe.. (I sure wouldn't mind doing stuff like that with you all, anyway.)

Frogs: It may be a good time for the SECRET PROJECT *although is not entirely sure*. Oh, and Krazy Karl's! Eeek. I've had the clips for this project for a LONG time now. Aren't I reliable? *Sigh*

Omadon: I posted again with longer voice samples yesterday and put the files on a new server >.>

Oh, a reminder before I forget:

There's a VAC Chat this Saturday @ 6pm PST. For those who want to be in on the chat akshun: Post here, download Yahoo Messenger, add Elliair_Lel. The VAC Idol will commence and be finished in this next chat, and hopefully we'll have lots of time for some good ol' conversation!

That's it for now. *Flies away to go back to recording*

Hey D-Mac_Double and Elliair! All is fixed with my computer troubles so I am back animating my Tiny Toons Fan Fiction. Since its been so long I wanted to know if you two where still onboard with the Babs and the Bugs lines :) hehe. Drop me a line at ringostar51@msn.com with your answer. I'll be a waiting.

I got another question. I don't quite understand the uploading/downloading process. Can someone explain it? Again, if you find this annoying, I'm new at the whole VA thing, and I also like to have details on what too do so I don't look like a dumbass. Thanks in advance.

Hey, I'm up for the chat ^_^
I'll add you promptly Elliair.

Well the fact that you're still here is a good sign... so here's an overview:

1) record lines on you computer
2) save as mp3 (MUCH smaller than .wav files) Audacity can do this when you save.
3) upload to a 3rd party server. Elliair has compiled a list in the roster.
4) email or post replies to animators seeking actors saying "interested, listen to my samples"
5) wait to get a role

The VAC Roster page has all these steps in WAY more detail. I recommend going there (link in my sig) and reading it thoroughly. It will walk you thru everything nice and slow, has links where you need them, and answers almost any other question you still might have. After that it's just about practice practice til you get better.

That helped one of my problems. I think stuff like age range, specialties,etc. are up to me to figure out. Again, thanks. I'm hoping to be ready to record a demo soon. What exactly needs to be on the demo, though? I need stuff that could show I can do the voices I mentioned, that much I know. While I try to get what I need, I'm going to spend my time practicing. And asking questions.

Just posting an update to my profile...

Once I record a demo, I mean.

I did it!

Tonight I hit AND PASSED my goal of one hundred roles. I'm so thrilled! When I look back at my range when I started this gig, I'm amazed at how far I've come. I've gone from only doing middle range females to working with elderly ladies, british girls, even a boy role!

Guess I have to get around to making that better demo, now don't I? =P

*Tear, sniff* I'm so proud of you, Isca! ;-;

A new demo would be awesome.

Elliair: I'll be there tomorrow for the chat. Hope we can continue this VAC Idol thing :D

Rylord: Welcome to the VAC! Thanks for having some samples. I can see that you're really in the medium-low to low range. Cool! We need a lot more deep, "manly" voices to add to the roster. Not that no other guy here sounds manly. It's just that..that..er.. nevermind. >.>;

Omahdon: If we were actually going to attend conventions and stuff like the VAA does, we would probably have to attend conventions that the VAA isn't going to attend. That, OR- we could hook up with the VAA and engage in one huge VA gathering and have a wild orgy and uh...nevermind. >.>;;;

Oh, yeah, and I believe the chat is11:30am Sunday your time.

Speaking of chat, the VAC Chat is TODAY! w00t, w00t, and all that. Get Yahoo Messenger, and add Elliair_Lel. On Family, bitches.

Hey, I can't go to the VAC Chat today, I am going to my best friend's graduation. So I humbly resign my spot in VAC Idol, you can give it to someone else, or just drop it completely since I was only tied for 5th anyway. <33

Hope you all have fun!

Ya man, i was wondering, If somebody could voice act for some of my movies... Because my mic sux for 1, and I, second of all not that great at acting to a computer. but if anybody could tell me what kind of mic is good for it i would appreicate it, I have 3 real mics for my band, but I dont know if those would work, they work when i talk into them from my digigtal recorder, but then its alot of work getting them of the recorder, and onto my computer... And then timing is an issue too. How to people do the timing so well? please help me

Huzzah I think I can make it to the chat today! No impending doom or anything

Hey , it's great to be accepted into the club :), I'm hoping to have some new clips done soon, I'll be doing some recording later on today, and hopefully will include some characters that will be familiar to some of you :P

anyways, just wanted to say that I'm glad to be a member and all that jazz, lol

Well, I hope to be able to start gettin some parts as soon as I get into the full swing of things here. :)

Cheers,
Ryan Champion

DarkKnightDamsel: Aw. Well, that's okay. This means that Isca can definitely have a spot (as well as someone else if Frogs doesn't attend the chat) in the VAC Idol. Yay!

Shock_Dingo: Glad to hear that you'll finally be able to make it. :)

RyanChampion: I'm looking forward to hearing those new samples. :)

Once again, the VAC Chat is today, and will start in approx. 8 hours. Everyone should know what to do in order to get in on this chat, but if not: get Yahoo Messenger, add Elliair_Lel. I'm looking forward to it!

Eeeeeeeeeee. I suck at this, so much. ;-;

Clicky on dat dere link on me siggy.

Speaking of which, I am fandubbing entire episode 53, starting tonight! El_Shamro I am offering a Naraku role for you when you get back (if you want it), and I may need someone to play the demon Ryukotsusei if I can't contact Jabronimon so keep that in mind guys.

I have a question what does the demon need to sound like?

Just..a deep 'scary' voice, they put a lot of effects on his voice in the actual show so you know, I can edit it and stuff. If you want, I can send you a voice sample thru email.

Oh yeah, I made a demo of some young boy voices last night, I think it still sounds kinda girly though, so I won't post it yet. :3

Tweekit

I just got done recording the lines for Docmonster and God.
I'm sending them to you via e-mail.
Don't know if they're what you are looking for or not.
Anyways, if you think my voice is any good to use or want me to re-do some lines, just e-mail me.

Mmm, I'm so ready for tonight's chat. I have a song that'll blow you all away. The VAC idol is MINE!
