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.

* copycat 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.

[Yonkey]

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.

[copycat]

- If you dont have mic, buy one, if you already do check out it actually works and it wont crap out your recording.

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.

- 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.

[Storm]

A suggestion on WHAT you want us to record would also be nice... I'm not very good at improv.  

[Jeysie]

And even if you DO use the standart one you will need a mp3 convert.

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.

So the submitting file format will have to be MP3? About the recording software, please feel free to give your suggestions.

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, Adobe Audition and GoldWave (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.

[virax]

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  ). 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.

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

[KatieHal]

Thanks for both auditioning and coming by the forums, Dave! Stick around  

[DaveGilbert]

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.

[Jeysie]

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. And to introduce y'all to my roomie, too.

Peace & Luv, Liz

[Oldbushie]

Same here, I went for the people. 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!
