Voice acting project?
« on: April 20, 2012, 10:40:16 PM »
I've been wondering if we should look at undertaking a voice acting project, have everyone contribute a bunch of lines and do some kind of play or something. Maybe some Shakespeare would be cool? Any thoughts?

Yes! I love Shakespearean dialogue.

What about The Tempest as a shout? I must admit always having wanted to play Prospero, awesome character.

I love voice acting!

Though I've never read The Tempest.

I like Henry V and Othello.

There are about forty-two characters in Henry V; I'm up for it, but we'd need a lot of recruitment. If we're doing it by voice-acting without graphics, having one person per part is pretty vital. The Tempest has about twenty people needed, and Othello a similar number.

We could double up if we had a decent way of doing graphics, but filming the shots for The Teacher in AOEIII took ages and looked hellish so we'd need a much better method.

I have a good range, I can do quite a few characters but still we should pick something with not very many.

I know Macbeth quite well.

I was thinking we could just use pictures of the characters; like a wide shot for the group in the dialogue, and then closeups of their faces to show they are the ones speaking.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

I'd be happy to join, but I'm not the best at drama...

I would, but I can't record. The mic input plug doesn't work.

That's be fun, doing some Shakespeare or something.

Just so long as everybody has a decent microphone. I can't remember who it was that didn't on The Teacher, but ow, my ears.
