You should probably describe <how> each character sounds, in addition to what their personalities are like. Is it deep, high, raspy, young, old, stuttering, with/without accent... it helps the voice actors and lets them know if they can pull off the type of voice you'd like to hear.

Hmmm. I see what you are saying. Let me see ....
For Anna:
-She is a grandmother, but she doesn't need to sound too old. Should sound mature. Steady voice.
For Atrus:
-He's 14 years old. Could be played by an adult woman, or a man with a higher voice. (not too high though).
For Gehn:
-He's an adult man. Firm, deep male voice is appropriate. I imagine the lines in a tone that's strong with a little suave. Not too harsh.
I have no accents or affectations in mind for any of them.
I'll get to this in my leisure =D
excellent :D I look forward to it!
There, that's very helpful and spot on. I now know that I can't do any of the voices you want, since my voice range is a bit limited.
You could try the Voice Acting club ( <a href="http://voiceacting.proboards.com/index.cgi">http://voiceacting.proboards.com/inde x.cgi</a> ) if you don't have any luck here, there's plenty of talented people over there.
Oh, cool, thanks for the link! I hadn't thought of asking at a place like that. good to know.
btw, I'm not so concerned about voice range. For this project, it's more about performance for me. If the acting comes from a believable place, then the voice itself is not so important. so, if you do want to give it a shot, I'd love to hear it!
::throws all her friends at this::
lol awesome please do
I love this. Will certainly send you through some audio.
Thank you for the privilege.
Yay! Thanks! Please do. I look forward to it ^__^
I'll send you somethin' for sure!
sweet! please do XD
is there a certain time period...as in a certain style of speaking? are the characters very formal or what?
ooooo .... that's a good question....
The story has a fantasy, old-fashioned feel to it. So, yes, I imagine the characters would sound more formal than we do.
However, for this, I'm mostly concerned about the believability of the dialogue. If a person can see themselves in the situation ... and say the dialogue in an incidental way, then I think that would sound better than someone focusing on playing a character. That's not true for everything, but in this case, that's what I'm looking for.
You know what? I think I'll try this! I will send you my file. It's the first serious tryout I will do. I'm still annoyed that the microphone doesn't pick up what I think is my voice. In my ears it should be far deeper but the register doesn't pick that up for some reason. I'll send something anyway. Feel free to reject it.
gleee!! Yay!! Please send! :D
This sounds like a great idea. I'll check into it once I am able to borrow a professional mic that a friend of mine has. I feel that I may strive towards Gehn, however, but it all depends on the time I am able to get to it.
thanks! I hope you get to do it! I look forward to hearing it! :D
a 14-year-old boy character? THIS IS SO UP MY ALLEY! expect something from me soon! btw, did you want us to record ALL the lines from the script? or just a few so you know how we would sound as the character and we can record the rest once you've decided on a voice actor?
also, if you want a preview of what my voice sounds like, I have a demo right here: <a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/379455">http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/379455</a>
sent you something already actually, so don't worry about my dumb question xD
Received! Thanks again man :D
I'll do it! Please.
Send me a recording! I'm going to pick the three performances that fit the best. :D
Sent in an audition for Atrus and Gehn! :]
got it. Thanks again :D
This leisure I spoke of seems to be Sunday ie tommorow, so bear with me =D
lol no rush. I'm taking submission until July 5th. :D
Sounds great. Looks good too. Im 16 years old but i can do a pretty good adult voice. For gehn specifically. When do u need the recordings in? And this is gonna sound weird, but this is my first time voice acting so how should I go about recording properly? Thanks, happy to help
K.B.
Let's see ... what kind of computer do you have? Do you have a microphone you can plug into your computer? Or does your computer have a build in microphone? Or do you have a microphone headset?
I look forward to your Gehn performance. I'd love to hear you try Atrus while you're at it :)
Remember it's not about the voice ... its about the performance ... its how you imagine the character is feeling in that moment, and speaking from that place. It can be really fun. :)
I'll really need to get into this though. *glares at Kirbopher*:P
lol Kirkbopher's was pretty sweet. I hope you can step it up ;)
Audition lines sent =)
thank u much :D
I actually just sent you a few takes, hopefully you'll like them.
Thanks again! :D
Still looking for voice actors? I was wondering if we could do a voice-trade since I need some help too ^^
