It's that time again!
FotG has most of its voice acting done, but we need your help to hammer out the few remaining roles. We had some trouble after the first call with actors signing up and not turing in their assigned lines, so instead of handing out roles individually, we're going to take a page from the Blue Planet VA Death March and post an open script. It might seem like we're just ripping off their great idea, but note that ours isn't a death march so much as a big triumphant fun march like the one at the end of A New Hope. Remember that that is a scene
inspired by Nazi propaganda films where everyone is really happy and no one is dead. Except for all the people on the death star. Those guys are
really dead.
How do I join in this super cool non-death march you ask? Just open up
The Script, pick a role (or a bunch of roles!), record the lines as individual 44.1khz wav files at 16 bit, and label them with the text found to the left of each line. Then all you need to do is zip all of those files together and send them as an attachment to
[email protected]Afraid your voice isn't sexy enough for acting? You can be a squeaky-voiced alien pilot who speaks pig Esperanto. Already submitted a role back during the first call? The more the merrier, esteemed colleague (though we probably won't have duplicates on pilot personas). You want to contribute, but you mic isn't good enough? There are almost certainly cheapskates in the SW Galaxy with worse mics than you. Cats won't shut up and let you record? You are the legendary pirate ace Loba Bindooki, soaring into battle with baby womprats all over your cockpit (gross). Maybe not everyone will make the final cut, but everyone can march!
The team reserves the right to use any voice acting samples sent to us (with credit) in any way we see fit for the game. This is mostly important in case we can't contact someone who provided samples but we want to use them in the game anyway. I personally reserve the right to describe how I envision our actors marching in this thread, so get those lines in quick if you want to be the person riding the bantha, because there's only one bantha.
May the force be with y'all!
EDIT: Don't forget to come hang out in our
irc chatroom for laughs and acting direction (faster, more intense!). If you want to use your own client, we're on esper.net at #scp-swc
