Besides that important announcement I had to make I also want to thank everyone who has applied, there has been a great feedback, just keep it coming we will reply everyone, and thanks for the amazing support :).
Are the online voice auditions also held on January 10? I won't be able to make it to NYC you see, not on the 10th of January.
/me is trying to think of a way how to best put his voice into an as small as possible file...
You guys said about having a microphone. Do you mean having one for the actual audition in NYC, or the online ones. I need to know cuz the only mike I have has been the one my Dad bought in 1993 for our first computer, the old Packard Bell, which could only support up to 30 megs. hee hee I feel old.
30 Megs?? What do you mean, it's a digital voice recorder?
Well, a microphone is needed to record your voice for the online auditions. I guess anything that can digitize your voice would be good (digital voice recorder, some mp3 players, etc) but a somewhat decent microphone (connected to your sound card) would probably be the best in terms of sound quality.

Since my dad films and records theatre plays, I'm guessing that mike will be fine. Although, I'm going to have to find a way to connect that mike to the pc... or find a way to work around that.
Quote from: Say on December 13, 2003, 03:07:34 PM- Try to consider other recording than the one the crappy microsoft thing that comes with every window, just for quality issues, I will get back to you on this since I want to drop in some names of some possible software available for this. And even if you DO use the standart one you will need a mp3 convert.
So the submitting file format will have to be MP3? About the recording software, please feel free to give your suggestions.
A suggestion on WHAT you want us to record would also be nice... I'm not very good at improv. ;)

If anyone needs an mp3 converter, I find MP3 Workshop to be very useful. Small, free, easy to use, and doesn't need to be installed. :)

The easiest way is to use any sound recording program since most likely they will save in WAV format. Then you can use that converter Jeysie mentioned to convert it to mp3.
Or, sound recording programs like SoundForge (http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com), Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/tryadobe/main.jsp#product=92) and GoldWave (http://www.goldwave.com) (they aren't free but I think there are trial versions of them available) can save your recording into MP3 format directly.
Like a former prime minister once said: 'I'll deal with problems when they arise', not sooner, so that's what I'll do too.
Just wanted to drop by some comments about this, we havent forgot about the online auditions, things are still on the works just fine, we finally agreed on what the auditions sides are going to be available online (good news) and we are just waiting to set everything up and its good to go.
Also, want to remind you all we are going to have all the info available as well for you to know exactly how this is going to work, the online auditions are going to be available for an extended amount of time of course, either way we will keep you all informed.
I'm all ears...and mouths also!
News!
Due holidays and all that crap I moved out everything to january, meaning my entire staff is on vacations and blah blah blah, wait for january regarding the ONLINE auditions, I'll work on that then :P
About the NYC auditions the feedback was AMAZING! <3, a lot of people did email us regarding that, so we have a lot of online users that will go, also there are so many other great artist in NYC already to go to audition, yay, more news on this I'll keep ya all posted :P
I don't know if I would be anygood at the voices, but I'll help clean up anyone's audio files that they're submitting. I've got Cool Edit Pro 2.1 (professional audio editing software ;D). I would LOVE to submit a voice you want me to, I've been playing the series since I was 5 and I'm getting a low end laptop just so I can play KQ6 again :). For what to recite, I'd like to know some of the lines you'd like, I have nothing in mind of what to submit without any clues.

the auditions online are still on the works, dont worry, we havent forget about that, we will have the parts online, a submit form and full information about it, its just lately its been INSANE since everyone is flying to NYC this week or next week so its a bit crazy all the work so far for cesar, mike and the others involved in this process, please be a bit patiente, thanks.
TO EVERYONE - please read
the NYC live auditions, to those who emailed and are going to the NY auditions, we will contact you soon, Im aware of the info provided now, dont worry this very same week we are giving you the parts and info needed.
the online auditions read above we will have everything available as soon as possible.
FAQ ABOUT THE ONLINE AUDITIONS
what are the online auditions about?
if you cant make it to NYC you can submit your audition or auditions from the comfort of your home here at kq9.org, we will the option available in our site for you to get all the info needed and submit your demo
how does that work?
we've created a special link for you (soon to be available) that will be about all the general info/guide about these online auditions, meaning you will have to read the intro first in order to move foward to the submit form, which its most likely the part where all the technical display will show (demo requirements) for you to select the parts (displayed) record them and them upload the file in our site to have it sent directly to us.
what will happen after I upload that file?
you shouldnt have any trouble if updating your audition if you do as told in that form (the file requirement), if you do we already have available contact emails for you to send us whatever the problem is, contact us as soon as it happens and we will try to help you out. In case you successfully upload your file then you should be contacted afterwards in case your demo got approved for our talent director.
Please keep in mind this is a hard work that requires time in case you want to keep updated about this whole process you can keep track of it over here, we will keep everyone posted about it, as well feel free to ask anything about it over this thread. Thanks
Finally got around to discovering these forums.
Anyway, hi. I met a bunch of you at the audition in NYC on the tenth. Just wanted to say that I had a great time at the audition. I am very impressed at how professional it all was. Best of luck with the project!
-Dave
Thanks for both auditioning and coming by the forums, Dave! Stick around ;D
Will do, oh commander of the bunnies.
I am still amazed that you all came from all over the country to hold the auditions. My 10 minute subway ride seems pretty meager in comparison.
Hee!
Well, I admit, I myself didn't really go for the auditions. I went to get to see NYC and to meet some of the crazy peeps on this forum. ;D And to introduce y'all to my roomie, too.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Same here, I went for the people. ;D I wanted to see if the people were as crazy in real life as they are in the forums, and I was proven right. ;) It's a fun kind of crazy! ;D

Im glad you got to do the NYC auditions as well as you enjoyed it, thanks indeed for the best wishes :)
and btw, they were people from canada and europe also attending to this event :D
Are there still going to be online auditions? It's nearing the end of January...
Yes, it just might take a little longer to get the sides up. Perhaps a week, but I don't know how Mike's schedule is right now. ;)
omg, yeah Im sorry, I haven't been able to keep up with the news here, the whole form and submit form system for you to audition online are done, the current problem is we should wait since they are -redoing- specifics, currently at the NYC live auditions they apparently got an excellent feedback, meaning thye did cast a lot of voices which means we will have the online auditions with more specific info in order to aim for other voices not casted yet.
either way thanks for your true concern here, I will email our talent director right away, I may have news coming for you guys this week, I'll post further news here when I can.
so bottom line the online auditions are coming, I apologize the delay but it's been a though process including the NYC live one, hang in there we will update the online auditions as soon as I get the info from them, thanks and again sorry for the delay.
if anyone is too eager and interested in detail info ( or bitching to me, lol ) about the online process you can contact me as however you would like to from my profile MSN, AIM, YIM, email, and I will gladly reply... or continue posting here, I check the forum and post as much as I can.
again, we are ready to upload the online auditions, the parts to audition are also available but as I said since we are adding specific info to this process, its been taking a while. It's done already not just available because -now- lacks of info for what we want.
there are going to be online audtions, just hang in there.
Yeah, I have a question, Say. Do you know whether there are any major parts left? Like parts with more than a few lines?
Also, can we be casted for more than one part? I know a lot of games with voice acting use the same actors for different voices (especially the King's Quest series, since there are so many voices).
AHHH!!! Been so long since we had new information (almost a whole week!!)
HOw much longer???? Are we there yet? ;)
Actually that info will be available soon enough, I haven't seen mike around lately, everyone's a busy bee on the team now hence the massive production phase we are going though, but so far I've spoken with Cesar things are going on just great on that matter (the casted ones from the live auditions). More details you will probably get them from Cesar eventually.
the online auditions are not fully working at the moment, when it will be we will le you know
you dont need to be american to audition and you can do as many voices/demos as you would like once the online auditions are available.
In fact, we could use some voices covering a large range of ages and types! So non-Americans are QUITE welcome :)
And welcome to the boards, ernesti!

Hmm. Male or female? Harrison's trying to poke his mom into auditioning. ;) (Well, and his sisters, too...)
Peace & Luv, Liz
I can do Italian... Mario and Luigi mostly though. ;)
Welcome back The Knight! Where've you been? ;)
I really want to be a part of this! It sounds like so much fun!
Welcome Cassima!! Nice quotes & picture! ;D
Once the online auditions are ready to go, any one and everyone is invited and encouraged to take part! So watch this space for further development ;-)
And those online auditions are coming soon! Very soon! hee hee hee....come one come all!
Welcome, Cassima!
Welcome to the forum, Cassima!! ;D
I hope the audition wouldn't be over that soon as well :o
I'm not going to be able to record anything for a while now :-\
Dont worry the online auditions, they are going to be up long enough for everyone who wants to participate will be able to do so.
The online auditions will be up for awhile, believe me. I'll be so busy with recording the people from the live auditions, I won't have time to quickly go through the online auditions at a fast rate. So you all will have plenty of time to record.
Folks - until you hear it from Say or Neil, it's just hearsay from me! ;)
EDIT: email me mike, thnx.
Guys, maybe i've missed it because i've just kinda been skimming through the posts. How are we supposed to audition for the different parts? And what exactly are we supposed to say? If there's a certain part of the website we can go to, could someone please post it?
I just saw that I have no posts here! I knew it had been a while since I had been around...I just didn't realize how long!

Mostly likely... I'll leave the matter up to the head honchos. ;) Besides, if anyone's part was going to get "spilled", I'd prefer to boast about my roommate, anyway. <3 <3 <3
Peace & Luv, Liz
I've got a question regarding the online auditions -
If you upload an audio file, would everyone be able to hear it, or just the appropriate team members?
The Online Auditions are now open! This thread will now be locked and related questions and comments should now be posted at: http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?board=34;action=display;threadid=809
