Online Auditions and Cast List

[GunHoMac]

online auditions? wow... i was afraid of this. So you are just going to take random people and have them recite the lines for the game? Hmm, well i guess since this is a non funding project then the original voices of everyone in the game is going to change.

Don't worry...they'll take out all the random voices and replace it with random text commands just for you...like "unclose" to open the door and "phalanges flex" to grab things...it's just a shame only paid professionals have vocal cords, KQ9's dialogue consists entirely of grunts and hums by random people who never figured out how to speak

I'm doing all the dialogue

Wow...my lil odd comment got all these replies...kewl :-)  

I have no clue why I said the tapping btw..but it did get a response. hehe

Originally, I wasn't going to audition you know.  My brother is much better at this than I am and just has a certain knack for saying things, but so far he doesn't seem interested.

I just had a lot of fun playing with it.  I'll go ahead and submit some more later.  And I realize that they're not main parts but who could pass up the chance to try and be part of an adventure game?

Rune, on a quest to find coffee...lots and lots of coffee

Hehe, I like this!

(am still not quite awake forgive me for what follows lol)

What about using psuedo-text adventures as a copy protection...you could just hear some people out there going "huh?" when they see a dos prompt on their screen...I can see it all now:

Kings Quest Alternate Voice Chat Adventure Game:

Please enter your password to continue:

<insert nice flashy box here with mouse commands and everything>

You put in the word "cookies" as your password.  This is incorrect..proceeding on to game...

<at this point you're going..huh?>

<Screen flashes...goes black..then a line of off-green text appears....>

You are standing (ok, sitting) in a very cluttered bed-room with an unmade bed.  There is a desk here. (psst if you are unsure of what to do please refer to pg 5 of your manual which well, tells you what to do and how to do it if you fail the copy protection. BTW, this is your alternate chance to get into the game...don't blow it.)

>train eyes and move them over the desk. Pause to reflect on contents of the desk.

On your desk are several empty boxes of pizza, a Lord of the Rings RingWraith bank, two huge binders full of old software and a computer.

>train eyes and train eyes and move them over the computer. Pause to reflect on computer.

Your computer has a microphone attached to it and a screensaver on the monitor that says "Windows *****," even though you are using Windows.  Come on now, wouldn't it be better to not insult the Windows gods who keep your computer so precariously working?

>tap the microphone
Sorry I do not know the meaning of the word "tap."

>change the microphone's state to on
The microphone is now on.  A green light pulses from its base.

>record voice for KQ9 auditions
The micorophone starts to smoke as you record your voice.  Ignoring it, you continue.  After a while it starts to shake.  The green light on the microphone suddenly goes off and a red light comes on.  Your monitor is displaying something.

>&%@#$!!#$$!
Sorry, that response was not understood.

>Look at the monitor.
You look at the monitor.

>GAHHH!!!
If you must cuss, please use proper vernacular.

>look at the monitor and read its contents

The monitor is displaying the following message:  we are sorry but your voice is too Mundanian.

>what??

(ignores that)This microphone will not accept it.  While we are aware that you requested to be born in sunny Florida when you first signed up for life, therefore making your voice American, this whole thing is rather like the military...you may want a certain base but there's no way on earth (heh) you're going to get it, meaning that the whole form of course is a joke.  This is in keeping in beaurocratic standards for all of creation, and part of the creational company policy.  We apologize for your inconvenience.

If you like you can work to improve your voice and make it more "natural" you are of course free to do so.  However, this microphone refuses to allow you to record until such time as your voice is less Mundanian and thereby less harmful to the ears.

Have a nice day!

Your Microphone

>shoot microphone
I am sorry I do not understand the word "shoot".

>pick up RingWraith bank
You pick up the bank.  You hear lots of pennies jingling inside.

>Use bank to throttle microphone

Your microphone is impervious to all damage whether human or divine.

>GAHHH!
Again, if you are going to curse please use proper vern..........no don't do that! don't...dont....dooonnnn...

<boom>

Oh, dear me, that's funny, Rune.

If I might ask... last he wrote, Mike said he was recording Jon's and... er... someone else's voices (I forget who )... how are things proceeding?

Peace & Luv, Liz

[Louisiana Night]

Well, I'm not submitting anymore. It's annoying enough listening to the phone with my PC speakers.

[Moodyblues]

*shuffles in*

Um, hello!  I'm new to this forum, and I was wondering if we can still submit some more audition material.  I already sent something in, but I have more ideas.

[etgadsby]

Welcome Moodyblues! I hope you enjoy our forum, if you have any questions just ask!

I am happy to report that the auditions will be open a little longer but I wouldn't wait too long  

[Moodyblues]

Thanks!  Wee, I sent them in.  

BTW, it's been a lot of fun listening to all the other entries.  This is a talented bunch!

[Louisiana Night]

I hope you got a few laughs from my auditions   .

Thanks Moodyblues!  That's sweet of you!  I'm sure your's are just as awesome as some others here .  Don't forget to tell Neil to post them!

BTW...
WELCOME!!

Welcome to the forum, Moodyblues!!

I'd hurry up with those auditions if I were you though... the auditions were supposed to close long ago already, and are only still on thanks to Mike (the voice director and many other splendid things) being too busy. As for how long he'll stay too busy - your guess is as good as mine

[Moodyblues]

Heh, thanks for the warm welcomes.

I'd like to have my brother's and my entries posted.  Who is this Neil you speak of, and how may I contact him?

[Yonkey]

I'm right here.  Did you want to make your auditions public?

[Moodyblues]

Oh.  Heh.  

Yes, please make all our auditions public.

[Yonkey]

Here they are:

Female 1 File 1
Female 1 File 2
Female 2
Female 2 File 2
Female 2 File 3
Female 3
Male 2

And here's your brother:
Male 2

I haven't listened to these yet, but I'll check em out soon.  

[Louisiana Night]

This is going to take awhile

*starts downloading*



Wait....

WAV format

Anyone mind explaining the file sizes?

[Yonkey]

Don't worry, each file is under 2MB.  

But you're right about it taking a while, since the total size of all the files add up to 7.3MB.  

[Louisiana Night]

I've already finished over half of them, so it shouldn't take too long.

EDIT: Done
