Bionicle: Chronicles Book Series (Voice-Acting/Narrated/Podcast)

[joev14]

If you're interested in auditioning, please refer to this topic!

 

 

So, I've already posted this on the TTV Forums, and I'm not sure if this is where I should put this here, or if it'd be better suited in a different forum.

 

I've always loved the Bionicle books. I just got finished with another round of Chronicles and Adventures (This is my 7th time through Chronicles, and it still is awesome). But I've always wondered what it'd be like if it were to be turned into an audio copy, much like that of the story serials.

 

But that's not quite where it ends See, there was always one thing more I wished you could have with the books...sound effects. When I read through that first chapter of Chronicles Book #1, and Tahu is on that beach, I can almost hear the noises of the beach in MNOG...almost. What would it be like to actually add this to somebody reading it?

 

So, that brings me to a few things. First off, what are the legalities of this concept? It's been almost 15 years since Bionicle began, would I still have to undergo some stuff with TLG in order to do this? 

 

Also, of course, I could not do this on my own. I've done voice-acting before, as well as had experience with directing stuff, so I know that when I consider something like this, it's a huge undertaking. Assuming something like this could work, I would be interested in seeing some people who are good at voice-acting perhaps play character roles. I would undoubtedly be the narrator, but it'd be interesting to see if people are interested in voicing characters.

 

Just something I've dreamt of doing since I began reading the books. And timing something like this right before Bionicle's return...it would be extremely cool. Having the new fans be able to hear at the very least, the Chronicles series rather than having to go out and buy the books.

 

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Is anyone interested in playing a character?

Interesting thought, but considering that the books cost money, it is pretty unlikely that this would be okay.

It depends almost entirely on whether you plan to profit from it. If it's just something you're doing for fun on here they wouldn't care less, but if you tried to sell it as a Bionicle product you'd be asking for trouble - Bionicle is still Lego's property, even if it isn't currently active.

There probably is some legal stuff to go through if you're using the exact text. But, that aside, I'd be interested in voicing Lewa, Kopaka, or Pohatu, or maybe a Matoran.

Do you wanna shoot me a PM with the list of characters you'd be interested in playing? I've got a list of all the characters in Tale of the Toa in the first post now.

[Grey Snow]

If you can figure this out, I'd love to be a part of this.

I would love to voice act any characters. Preferably Less, Tahu or Pohatu. But I would like to voice Teridax as well. Feel free to contact me.

It's happening. I've got all the details worked out, now it's just a matter of casting. Speaking of which, if you're interested, send me a PM!

I would love to do some voice acting for this definitely, contact me through PM if interested

Go ahead and send me one.

I would love to voice act for some minor female role, but I'm probably not a very good voice actor.

I would love to voice act for this project! I'm very good at changing my voice, so I can do a wide variety of characters. Probably the ones I would be the best at would be:

 Toa:

-Tahu

-Lewa

-Pohatu or Onua

 

Matoran:

-Jaller

 

Makuta:

-Makuta Teridax

 

Let me know if any of these sound interesting. Also, maybe you could P.M. me about reading you certain sentences from the books and sending them as audio files to you. : )

 

Thanks! This looks to be a fun and exciting project, and I would love to be a part of it if possible!

The Toa I'd be my very best at voicing are 1. Tahu, and 2. Lewa.

Shoot me a PM so I can get you on the auditions list!

[MrSciFiGuy]

I often do voice work, and would love to Narrate or audition for a part. Let me know if this moves forward

[Wazdakka]

I only own a couple of books, but would love to be a part of this. If there's a minor character whose lines can simply be copied down and sent to me, I could do that. If not, good luck to this endeavor!
