Re: [New Roles Added: Sept 19th] BP2:WiH P1 VA Call - "Minor" roles - 2 Major
I believe he said in the opening post that he only sends a reply if there are technical issues with the recordings.
I did say that, but I have been sending emails back after I processed the email.  Unfornatly I didn't get to finish yours.
I have processed and sent an email back to everyone that has sent in auditions except for Mongoose as I am still processing his.

!!!

Hate to be a pest, but I received no such email.  Possible I sent it off incorrectly and/or the recordings sent off were useless?
"Do you plunder?"

I apologize.  I can find your audition email (sent September 7th), but I can't seem to find a reply to that message.  Nevertheless all of your auditions are in the candidates list, so apparently I didn't have any problems with your auditions.  I also have you credited for an audition for "UEF Boarding party Bravo 6" but I cannot seem to find the audition as sent to me.

okeydokey, thanks, and after examining my email I didn't find a submission for '...Bravo 6' either. I don't think I actually attempted one.  probably just a clerical error.

Just sent in auditions for Kassim and Brie. Details are in the mail.

Good thing I noticed this thread today- you guys have been busy!

Extended deadlines for the "minor" roles.  We will revaluate the submissions end of day October 31st, 2010.
The deadlines for "Admiral Robert Byrne" and "Flight Lieutenant Manuel Brie" have been extended to October 24th, 2010.

Added three missing "minor" roles: "Knight 2", "Reshadiye Engineering", and "Reshadiye Security".  Removed "Ironhide Control" and "103rd Archers Flight lead" for now.

Minor roles have been resorted based on received auditions.

Re: [New Deadlines: October 3rd] BP2:WiH P1 VA Call
Will probably drop another minor role or two in the box tonight or tomorrow, and Kassim - that looks fun!

Question about delivery: Anansi has a line here "# File: bp211s075.ogg
# "So I've heard. Your squadron already has Admiral Steele's attention, Sublieutenant...Laporte. You lot seem determined to win this war all by yourself."

why does he pause before her name, is he reading it, or pondering it? Is he suprised? without seeing Laporte's lines during the scene, it's hard to get a bead on that one.

I'd just cut the pause. We can alter the line accordingly.

I sort of thought that he was pausing to make sure he had the pronunciation right. :p

That could work too. We're pretty open to interpretation, voice actors can try to make the lines their own. Multiple takes are a good idea sometimes.

But see, that's just my point - if Laporte introduced herself immediately before that line, he'd hardly have trouble pronouncing it two seconds later.  But then, he mentions a bounty, too, so it's probably a pause from piqued interest.

And yeah, I have no problem tweaking a line.

Yes.  As it was explained to me, it is because "Capitan Lloyd Sorensen" is male.

I'm just gonna pop in here and applaud the BP team for the huge undertaking they're undertaking, and for the voice actors for contributing. I'm sure it'll all turn out to make a great campaign even greater.
[16:57] <CommanderDJ> What prompted the decision to split WiH into acts?
[16:58] <battuta> it was long, we wanted to release something
[16:58] <battuta> it felt good to have a target to hit
[17:00] <RangerKarl> not sure if talking about strike mission, or jerking off
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> WUT
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> hahahahaha
[17:00] <battuta> hahahaha
[17:00] <RangerKarl> same thing really, if you think about it

Will see if my mic can still crank out something nice tomorrow or so. A minor role, more if my voice works.

  • Updated "Kassim"'s deadline.  It is now November 31st.

There's much time, I guess I'll sent some lines:) Only those lines from first page of thread?

Yes, only the lines listed as the audition in the first post(s).
