That's more surprising than us being girls!

Is Obbl a girl? I have no idea.

does anyone know where I can listen to Obbl on the radio show?

There was a Mediafire link in an older thread somewhere.

Great! Auditions have stopped lately.

Well we wait for Obbl to comment.

Hey, GK, I found the theme you posted on the HP game thread and downloaded it so I could try my hand at editing it just to see how it'd work.

This is your stuff, all I did was speed up the tempo slightly in this section of the music and added a fade in and fade out. What do you think?
This section being the theme song.

GreatKitsune · Post by **GreatKitsune** » Sat Apr 04, 2015 4:18 pm

I was just going to use the intro. That way it stays the same without being too long.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sat Apr 04, 2015 4:26 pm

Hey, as long as it keeps the feel of housepets, I'm all for it ^^

No, I'm a guy

Does my Grape voice really sound that much like a girl?

I can't help but hear a guy most of the time (which makes my line: "Do I even sound remotely male?" hilarious to me

) I'll get the audition up tonight/tomorrow morning (depending on your time zone).

Arc II was posted to a site that has disappeared into the ether, but Arc I and Arc III are still available to listen to. (I cringe at myself in a number of places

)

Here's what I was thinking.

I forgot to post it! Here.

Not to be rude or to shoot you down or anything like that, but the dial up tones seem a bit out of place. The background keyboards, however... those I like! and I think it'd fit very well with the show ^^ However, it seems like there's a buildup, but there isn't a drop off. It end's suddenly, and the buildup toon at the end can't really have a fade out for a drop off.

But where did the Radio Show's theme song come from? I love the upbeat toon of that! And we could easily slow that down for the ending credits ^^

Also: I was surprised to hear Obbl's voice being so feminine! I think it works extremely well with Grape ^^

GreatKitsune · Post by **GreatKitsune** » Sat Apr 04, 2015 6:58 pm

I guess I could actually make something original.

Effort! Ugh!

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sat Apr 04, 2015 7:30 pm

Sorry ^^' I like the game song, but I just don't know if it'd work for the webshow.

But hey! I forgot to ask, do you have skype? You and I could discuss more on what we need planned along with anyone else who wants to join ^^

SuperStar · Post by **SuperStar** » Sat Apr 04, 2015 7:40 pm

Well, maybe a different part of the Game's theme would work. I mean, the first part of the track is sort of "mysterious" sounding. There are other points in the song that would work better.

Sure, but It'd have to be during the day.

thank goodness - my world remains right side up.

Wasn't one of the mods a female?

Answer so we can get back on topic.

Post by **Obbl** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 3:08 am

A bit demanding, are we not? Couldn't have satisfied your curiosity with a PM?

Sleet's gender is unknown to most. Inaki is female. The rest of the mods are male.
Are we satisfied? Can we get back on topic now?

----------

Edit: So I didn't warm up before recording tonight, and it's showing. I've got the first line recorded to my liking, but I'll have to hold off finishing until later for my voice to recover from my ridiculous no-warm-up-super-high-Grape-voice

GreatKitsune · Post by **GreatKitsune** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 7:18 am

That's fine. Take your time. I don't even know how you do it, anyway.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 2:16 pm

GUESS WHAT I JUST GOT!

I still need to figure out how it works, but now the animation part of the webshow is covered!
I also got a mac copy of the program, but I don't own a mac.

GreatKitsune · Post by **GreatKitsune** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 2:33 pm

Yay!

Now we need a Peanut voice. EVERYBODY DO A PEANUT VOICE!!!

Mickey · Post by **Mickey** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 5:10 pm

Yeah, I know that Peanut's voice isn't this high. Sorry.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 6:25 pm

Well I hope you figure out how it works soon! This is coming along nicely!

SuperStar · Post by **SuperStar** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 7:13 pm

Maybe I should try out for Peanut? Where did I put that mic.

Definitely! We need all the auditions we can get!

SuperStar · Post by **SuperStar** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 7:40 pm

I need to find a mic though. I'll let you know when I find one.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 8:01 pm

Don't close the auditions too soon. I still need to audition for Tiger and Fox...
And maybe set up a separate audiotion link for Max.

Oh, I wasn't going to close all of them. We just can't start without Peanut and Grape.

It sounds ambiguous, on the edge between guy and girl. which is why it's perfect for Grape. feminine enough to be believable that she's a girl, masculine enough to be believable that Peanut wouldn't know.

Obbl wrote:I cringe at myself in a number of places

I know how you feel, my Peanut was far from my best work. Plus my mic quality wasn't great.

Got my tools ready, but I just can't find a good program to record with. Any suggestions?

Free (or cheap) ware: Audacity and Ableton Lite come to mind.

Good stuff: Ableton Suite, FL11, or Pro Tools X

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 2:25 pm

How much is the good stuff?

GreatKitsune · Post by **GreatKitsune** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 2:33 pm

Amazee Dayzee wrote:How much is the good stuff?

Ableton Suite 8: $600 *What I have*
Ableton Suite 9: $1,500 *Best*
FL11: $500-ish
Pro Tools X: $700-ish

Of course, they're very often discounted.

Ok, I was making approximations, and I just checked the actual prices and at the moment that list looks more like:

Ableton Suite 8: $400 *What I have*
Ableton Suite 9: $750 *Best* (discount)
FL11: $900-ish ($910.70, to be exact) (I undershot this one)
Pro Tools 12: $3,459.84 +12.99 per year (if you get the full program; software only is about $2,000 cheaper) (I undershot this one, too)

Post by **Obbl** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 3:17 pm

If you're really that curious, why not take this conversation to PMs? It's nice to get some suggestions in the thread, but Audacity does work rather well for a project like this.

I've got some time coming up soon, so I'll get Grape's audition up then. I'm glad to see some female participation. It has been historically near impossible to get any women on the Radio Show project. (Hence me playing Grape)

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 4:01 pm

submitted my auditions for Peanut and Bino. I enjoyed it. :3

I had some trouble concerning though whether I was to read one line or all three, so I just chose the most important ones for the audition.

I'm going to consider auditioning for Grape tomorrow just for fun. She's the only cat available and I have no shame in playing a girl cat :3

Post by **Obbl** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 4:53 pm

Well, reading all 3 supposedly gives us a better idea of your acting range.

Also, soon came sooner than I thought, so... my Grape audition is up

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 5:30 pm

Nice. =3

*That awkward situation where GC auditions for Max.* X3

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 10:14 pm

ZeldaFreak was the friend I asked to audition. I honestly had no idea he was that good with all the parts!
Now if only my voice would freaking work!
