Those of you who are applying for voices and what-not: I'm in the process of looking for a new mic for voice-recording. If you could drop any brand or model names that'd be a huge help. And, of course, I'm on a budget, so anything cheap would be much appreciated.
thanks now i don´t have to ask anymore (I mean i am planning to first look in the JUNKYARD of my mum´s friend ... but this is option 2, buy one)
I can put a quite British accent maybe Pete is something for me (after much exercise ... again)
I send you guys a recording as soon as I get home (Belguim) from work with my built in mic. (the bad one) from my pc
I´m still searching the good one
EDIT: make that as soon as I get the chance ... muffins and cookies YOU MICROFONE!!! *pant pant* ... I'm fine!
I would totally try out but I probably wouldn't do too good. I have a really young voice, and on the phone get called ma'am which is kinda insulting as I am a 17 year old guy xD
Heh, well at least I'm not the only one with that problem, occasionally I lower my voice if I have to call a business or something, but I don't think it does much help lol. Even on psn and xbl my voice is pretty high pitched, made fun of a lot xD, at least ps3 has a voice changer.
Edit: Also the fact I have no idea who to try out for...
PSST Grape = Girl who gets mistaken for guy
Ergo, guys with voices that are hard to derive gender by should give it a try
(Also girls that have the same problem as Grape should come here more often! Seriously.)
Actually we have a distinct lack of girls on this project (read: zero), so if you know any, you might give 'em a little nudge this direction
Aah, the voice is quite good. Sounds like a girl, but not forced or too feminine. It suits Grape quite well
However, if you don't mind me saying so it seems a little flat. I don't mean that too harshly, it just doesn't quite match what she should probably be expressing in the comic.
Still, I think with a little practice you'd be good for the role! Try some different comics maybe? Ones where she's expressing anger, or telling jokes or something?
To be honest, both sounded good. It has that kind of huskiness that could be male or female (No offence!) and I think it fits Grape. Perhaps the higher one is best, although the 'Normal' version might be more fitting if it's not supposed to be as obvious (Ie at the start of the strip)
Hmmm, so basically keep making some with both voices. Okay, I don't mind you saying it sounds somewhat female I pointed that out first xD, people also automatically assume I am 12 lol. So I have a high voice and look 5 years younger than I am. Hahaha
Cool! I like the Normal just a little better than the high voice.
Thanks for contributing
*runs off to work on new auditions* (good to have a little inspiration now and again )
I'd also go for the other ferrets, but I don't know if my first two will be chosen, and if I did the rest they'd be in a similar style :/
Anyhow, yeah, I quite like your recordings. Certain bits sound dead on (The "It's not about me" in the first recording sounds great, for example) while other bits still didn't seem quite... emotive enough. Oh, and the mic picks up 'p's horribly (Like in "Peanut").
I don't mean to sound overly critical, it's just I think you have a real chance of getting Grape, and with it being such a massive role you'll need to do a lot of these ^_^

That was good! I was expecting his voice to be a little deeper, but yours fits!

Thanks. I might do it again and try a bit deeper, because I was thinking it might be a little too high pitch myself. Problem is, when I went lower, he started to sound like an really old red-neck. I just did my voice for Miles to get the tone, and then added a lot more... country to it XD
Once again they are not perfect, heh, and feel free to criticize.
Alright, let just say that I deeply enjoy your version of Grape's voice. I think it might be better than my own! That is correct, I am also auditioning for Grape. Sad to say that an audition war has now been commenced. Sorry, Ninja.
It was actually recorded quite a while ago. I just emailed it to Teh Brawler for him to pass it on to Ebly. And Slice? Heh, I also totally imagine Daryl having that same accent.

What, you mean act? Anyone can act! I'm sure can you pull it off! Don't be so hard on yourself!
Well, anyone can act, but not necessarily voice act. Like... Arnold Schwarzenegger can act. But can he voice act for Daisy? ... Okay, I would enjoy if it he tried, but probably not.

Of course, you never know until you try!
Exactly! Thank you. The point I was attempting to make.

Thank you, but hey! Your audition is just as good! I think we're roughly on the same level.

I think that it sounded all right at first, but later it sounded too obviously male. I know that Grape is mistaken for male at first but I would think she'd have a more ambiguous voice, where you couldn't really tell.

He should voice act for spo.
I am totally willing to try auditioning for Spo while doing an Arnie impression!

I did like the performance, though!
YES! THANK YOU! Some honest critique! Thank you, Chewy, I'll see if I can fix that problem.
And thanks! I'm a full-fledged actor at heart.
Also: Well played, Slice! Sadly, it would seem that Slice and I will be warring for a role as well. Sorry.
Also also: Ninja, I had similar problems with my own mic for a while. Have you attempted adjusting your mic settings in the Control Panel?
Sadly, it would seem that Slice and I will be warring for a role as well. Sorry.
Was that a typo, or have you auditioned for another role as well? If it was in reference to the Spo remark, I doubt Ebly will want an Arnie Spo, so that doesn't count XD

Yes! I am also auditioning for Spo! I apologize, I didn't realize you were joking.
