You're definitely right about the mounting narrator defensiveness and hatred for the audience/reader, but I probably would've been able to demonstrate this a little better with a longer clip. Of course, like you said, recording the whole thing is a bit much for an audition, or a bit much to do in one go for the vocal chords. XD I can give it a shot thought if you all like.

I did it in one go for 23 minutes, it's how you warm up the vocal chords and how naturally/well you project. Voice actors generally run on the same 9 hour shifts as anyone else, as do radio broadcasters, so it isn't too much depending on how naturally you utilise the voice.

The idea of auditions is to show you can handle the varying scales of the role. You don't have to do a larger chunk necessarily, just do clips from the areas where the narrator is more defensive. So rather than do a chunk in one go, just add in the bits where the narrator is more emotive, and pad it with 2/3 lines either side of the emotive sentance/s.

...You know, I don't actually care that much. Just wanted to throw my hat into the ring, so to speak. If Vizard didn't like mine or didn't think it was long enough, I wasn't going to be heartbroken. I liked your auditions, but I'm not really interested in a power struggle, so I'm going to withdraw my audition.

Good say, sir.

Erm... I don't know where you got the idea of some form of power struggle. O.o
I was simply offering advice on how best to showcase your talents to the topic creator. Christ, you didn't have to try and put yourself on a pedestal and try and belittle me. Your attitude is surprising for someone who claims to have written the fiction in question as 'a jest'. I figured this was a bit of light hearted humour, an introspective on the community fiction works. I never said I didn't like your audition nor that someone wouldn't appreciate it. Maybe my advice was misplaced and came across the wrong way, if it did I am sorry for that, but seriously you don't have to try and create a drama on here over this. We're only having some fun.

I wasn't belittling you, all I was saying is that clearly you have a better idea of how to go about voice acting than I do, so if it's going to take that much work and back and forth and trying to earn a little gold star, I don't really want to do that if I probably won't get it anyways. My post was actually about that, not starting a drama. :|

I do apologize if I offended you though, as that was not my intention, I thought that this would be a way to bow out with some humor. :\

He was just giving some general tips/process, it's actually pretty helpful stuff just to know in general, I think.


So um...how goes this?

HIATUS: Auditions for "Sonic the Parody" ~ May 1st-7th


Right, since things are gonna be a bit busy for me over the next month and a half (Uni exams mainly), I'm gonna have to put this little project on hold until the end of April. I can't concentrate on my work and this at the same time, so... yeah. ^^; Sorry fellas!

If anything, you have this much more time to prepare your own auditions for narrator positions and each role present, and to get more used to the fanfic and immerse yourself into it a whole lot better for better preparation. Proper guidelines will be up by the end of April.

But yeah, what Jeff said.

[redhellc]

Ok, once I finish my exams I will resume my work on this.

[The Blue]

Er... Can I collaborate in any way to this project?

Thing is I don't know how but I'd like to help with this.

[Faseeh]

Oh man, I missed the voice auditions... I wanted to try Tails. Oh well, any other way I can help?

[Faseeh]

Sorry for the double posting and bump, but Jeff any progress on this or is has this just vanished into thin air?
