Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I just went on the website....and wow...i bow down to u all extremely talented voice actors.

I have a script that i've written that i would love to hear been read by some of the actors in here. It's called the Punishment, and i need two voices. One person i'd love if they could play the main part: a prisoner waiting on death row, and have a voice like Charlie Sheen. The other person to sound like a prison guard.

The Punishment:

Prisoner:
The rays of sunlight crept into the cell as a new day began. It was the day of my punishment; it was the end. I slowly rose up from the bed and looked at my surroundings. There was nothing pretty about it; not even the rays piercing into the cell through the gaps in tthe bars made it any more pleasant. It was just the same dull grey, lifeless scenery again. I slowly staggered about in my cell, touching the cold hard walls, and the dusty bars, as i looked out upon the beauty I saw before me. I saw such things that brought a smile upon my face; but that quickly vanished. The outside was out of my reach. I could but only view from afar, never touch, never smell.
Backing away from the view, i opened my book and began to write the final chapter: today. This would be the final chapter of my life for all to read my memoirs and feel such things as i have. The pen flew across the page, as i wrote down, the ending of such a wasteful life. I was on death row; today was the end. I had been found guilty of murdering my family on Christmas day. It is all such a blur still, but as the judge gave his sentence to me i slumped in my chair. True, i deserved punishment for what i had done, but to spend ten years of my life on death row, never knowing when it was time for the last punishment to come. Is such a thing right?
Suddenly, whilst pondering over this question, the sound of footsteps grew stronger and stronger. Along with this came the faint smell of food. My heart beat in rhtyhm with the footsteps as they drew closer, and the smell of the food filled my nostrils. Before me stood one of the prison guards. There was a grin on his face as he handed over to me some food. Not understanding why i had been given this i asked, "What is this?" The reply that followed sent a shiver down my spine,

Prison Guard:
"This, James, is your last meal."

Prisoner:
The grin on his face grew larger and the desire to wipe it off his face grew stronger.
The guard slowly closed the cell door and once again i was alone, but this time i had food: my last meal. It was not much to describe: mushy peas with gravy and disgusting pie. I finished without complaining though. Thoughts in my head fiercely shot around and questions i could not answer. My emotions went haywire as they followed a cycle of fear into anger and then back again.
Time, it seemed, had stopped. The seconds dragged on, seemingly lasting hours as the time ran out. Filled with boredom, i now found myself full of guilt. Why had i done such things to my family? I wanted to turn back the clocks; but alas it was too late. My time had run out. Footsteps became louder and with each step my heart beat even faster. I knew that he was coming for me; my time was up. The familiar sound of keys filled my ears, as my cell door opened.
Before me stood the same guard but this time his grin had gained in size. Deep feelings of regret filled me, as i exited my cell; the cell that had been my cage for ten years keeping this fierce animal at bay. Now it had been unleashed. In my standard orange-prison uniform i slowly strolled forward. About twenty metres away it was there: the door. I still clasped my book in my hands and began to wonder what my final sentence should be. Whilst doing this, prisoners jeered at me. We all were due to go through that door; lucky for some it was my turn first. Step by step i was edged further to my last breath. Such experiences really do make you realise what one takes for granted in this world.
Finally, i was there, my nose touched the door as i tried to gather myself for the end. The door opened and a chair stood before me. Filled with fear i begged for one last request: to finish my memoirs. There are no family here to witness my death. They are already dead. I came into this world alone and i am going out of it alone. So, these are my final words before i get strapped in tightly, and the needles pierces my skin as i draw my last breath. On now to face my punishment...

I may turn this into a flash movie when i can get my drawing and animation skills better...dnt worry i will definitely mention you at the beginning of the movie and in the credits if it does turn into a flash movie. I just really wanted to see what it would sound like first.

Please send them to by email at mrconfuddled@hotmail.com
Or even add me on msn and send it over there.

I can't wait to listen to the audio replies. You are all extremely talented people.

I mean it's fine for hosting a voice acting website, but lousy for hosting demos. There's other sites you can host your actual demo on listed on the official NGVAC Roster webpage.

BEZO - tbh you site with your demos is on geocities ?? :S so why u telling me to use somethign else besides i got the geocities off VAC anyway....

Yeah, but none of my DEMOS are hosted on Geocities. If I hosted them on Geocities, you'd get a big 404 message 27 days out of the month. That's not a good thing. I'm saying that you can use Geocities for the website, but host the demos elsewhere. Just trying to help.

Bezo you are extremely talented btw you should really travel to las angeles

and what does charlie sheen sound like ??

Ok i look forward to hearing the audio reply. I've listened to some of your samples on your website and you're good. Can you try out both parts please?

And if anyone else is interested can they also have a crack at the lines i posted on the previous page i think it is. It's the story bit entitled "The Punishment".

mine aint workin

Jeez, whats wrong with you people? Not one Happy April Fools day?

Happy April Fools Day! Numa Numa has gone too far.

Yeah, but you have to admit, that song is pretty catchy.

noone wants to do voices for my game????

whats the game?

I will be reorganizing my voice samples into two categories as follows:

1.) Normal Voice

2.) Applied Effects Voice

I am going to be uploading a new set of voices and variations (normal and applied effects). Also if you all see my posts completely disappear, Wade is working on my account to fix a problem.

Cheers!

Yes, I agree with LazyKenny. Not one Happy April Fools Day. YOU ALL SUCK. >:(

April Fools! :)

Omahdon: Nibbling!? *Pours tons of chocolate sauce over self* I'm ready. >.>;

audigy: Welcome to the VAC! I have a feeling you are already acquainted with D-Mac? Cool! Anywho, have fun around here.

vel_jack: Welcome to the VAC! But, I'm going to have to agree with Bezo. Geocities is probably the last place you'd want to upload any demo of your voice, because of its crappy bandwidth. You can try Ripway or 250mb Free to replace your usage of Geocities. And I also recommend saving all clips and demos as .mp3. They're just better.

Shalamaseskia: The_Mercenary posted a casting call for his game on the previous page, I believe.

April Fools! :)

sorry, had a crappy day didn't even realize what today is...happy april 1st everyone..

Elliair: Love your work! Good stuff.

THE_MERCENARY: I looked for your casting call, up to 5 pages back, and well I simply can't find it (too lazy to search through all these posts). If you could kindly do a summarized post on the project I would be glad to audition for you.

Cheers!

Not true, we have several youngsters here who have unbroken voices. And they BOTHERED TO READ THE RULES AND POST DEMOS!!!!

Dude, pretty sure I sent you an email for the original post... never heard back... anyways, will tyr again.

Then again, I've been so busy lately. And I am kinda sick of redoing demo's for people over and over only to not get a part. And worst of all, having only a handful of movies ever come out. I think I'm gonna quit voice acting alltogether. It's just not working out...

Tetsu-kun: I'm still here. Just working on that Luigi voice :P Oh wait, it's not Tetsu anymore is it? It's Shingomachaki-Ichimigkagasaki-San or something. Hmmm ... ah well, XD

P.S. What is something to someone, and nothing to everyone else?

its on the previous page, I just need samples of a few different voices from a guy, and a gir so I can choose which voice I want ( I looked at alot of the samples, but I think it'd be easier if some of you just said something in a few different voices)

.... ooo making fun of my new name, not good. *shakes fist* don't make fun of the shimigami or "i will kill you till you die from it." ;) btw Majin vegetto ep. 4 is well on its way to getting done so everyone look forward to that sometime very soon.

Shinigami_Ichigi
p.s. You're life, which is about to end!

I'm interested in knowing what the regular flash artists use for drawing and dubbing (voice acting) for their flashes. I noticed that there is a big voice acting community here in NG and was wondering if they have some special hardware like mics or stuff like that. Any advice or suggestions would be appreceated. Thanks guys!

I origionally posted this on the regular forum and they pointed me this way. I bet this club is alot more helpful.

I'm pretty sure I didnt get your email, can you try emailing me again? And Trust me, I've been working on this game for waaay to long for it to not come out, I'm almost done with the actual game part of it (I got like 2 more levels to make). Then all I'll have left to do is animate the rest of the cutscenes. Just give me a few samples, I'm sure one of them will fit the character.

Fighterspledge: I just use a regular computer mic ... one of those kinds that looks like a long stem or whatever, and you can bend it around and stuff. In other words, nothing professional on my part. I use Cool Edit Pro to clean the audio and stuff, and that's about it.

Shinigami Chicago: I'll put on some lipstick and say that line ... though my lips would have to be absolutely huge, and my mouth movements wouldn't match ... but ah well.

You are a Bold Hero old sport. ;)
