Spoken Word Poetry Collab! 2023-03-28 23:24:31


Spoken Word Poetry Collab!


The theme for the Collab is: "The reality you to see and manifest in the world"

Ideally you'll write your poem around this central theme. And since it's spoken word, you'll either record yourself reading your poem out loud, or team up with a VA or Speaker.


Rules:

  • Word limit is 500 or less.
  • Keep it SFW as we want to have this Collab featured/front paged
  • Ideally your submissions will be in .WAV format at 16bit for high quality. And sent via Drop Box or NG file dump (depending upon file size)


There are roles for musicians as well, who'd like to compose an ambient BGM track(s) that will play under each poem or it could run throughout the entire Collab.


Here is a link to the NGAP Collab Center discord: https://discord.gg/QCmYyraxbk

Joining the discord is optional though.

As for a deadline that has not been decided yet, as we are still in the early stages of the collab. But I am aiming for a deadline in early May, so stay tuned for that.

You have my voice!

  1. Do I understand it right that the word "want" is missing in the theme name?
  2. Gotta try to make a poem

"Please don't tap on the glass. Penguins can see and hear you alright. They just don't care."

I'm working on a spread sheet to see how many participants there are, so far there is a lack of writers for collab.

I finished a poem! It's about leaving behind things of our current reality that looks fine but are actually hindering our progress, it's called Burning the Flags. It's SFW but some people might find it disturbing, So I am hesitant to post it here right away. If someone is interested in recording a reading of it for a collab and/or making a background music, PM me and I will send it to you, so you can see if it's content is okay with you. Or, if the collab organizer will say it's okay, I'll post it here.

Excellent, I'd like to read what you wrote. And as for background music, I made a track myself for the collab and another composer has made a BGM track as well.

It'll be like poetry night at a swanky coffee house.
