Auditions


SPIRIT

664 views

THE ENTRY PERIOD IS OVER




Since April 14th, 2006, those of you with microphones have been waiting for this moment. You have been hoping, nay, praying for a day when you too could star in another Flash PSA. Previously, I have only recruited people whose voices I had heard before, but no longer. The script has been written and now is finally the time when I hold open auditions for parts in PSA #5!!!

Reader: :OMG:

Yes, I know. So without further ado, I present you with the long and complex audition process:


Roles

Mantax: "Oh come on! That's hilarious! Man, you never laugh at anything I say."

Lewa: "*makes sounds to hush the person he is talking to* I know what I'm doing, when have I ever been wrong before?"

Tahnok: "Hey there. I'm a Bohrok, and I’m here to return Mata Nui to the way it was in the before time."

Matoro: "Oh, this’ll be a huge fad, let me tell you. It’ll be in all the signatures."


Submitting

Having chosen a part for which you plan on auditioning, simply record yourself saying the given line in italics. Then, attach it to an e-mail and send it to spirit [at] bzpower.com (of course replacing the [at] with an @) with the subject as Audition.
IMPORTANT: Your audition must be in an e-mail and it must have Audition in the subject line or you will not be considered (:o).

The deadline for submissions is 23:59:59 EST Saturday, February 9th, 2008 Anno Domini, which means you have roughly two weeks to do this.


FAQ

Q: Why didn't you just write out your e-mail there?

A: Because, kids, that's one of the many ways spam bots send you e-mails. ;)


Q: Can I audition for more than one part?

A: Absolutely. In fact, I encourage it; less people to share the script with.


Q: What if I had a part in a previous PSA, can I still audition?

A: Go right ahead.


Q: Are those lines from the PSA?

A: Sort of. I've changed them a bit, though, to get a better idea of the voices.


Q: So how do you want me to say these lines?

A: It's up to you. Don't keep the character in mind as much as the spirit of the line itself.


Q: Can I use more than one voice for a particular line in my audition?

A: Absolutely; the more the merrier.


Q: Seriously, though, what does PSA stand for?

A: :uhuh:


Legal Stuff

Upon becoming a cast member, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER may you share information from the script I will send you. Doing so will cause me to use the :angry: emoticon and trust me, you wouldn't want that.

So I submitted my audition. Hopefully I make it. -Swert

I would audition, but I assume the characters will need to know how to say Bionicle words correctly, which I on the other hand do not, sadly. Beside that this sound like its going to be a cool PSA. I can't wait to see it.

Finally! Thanks for giving us a heads up, Spi. :)

 

I just have to make it in this one. Could I say each line with more than one voice? I think that could work out well.

Good question. Let me add that to the FAQ. :P

I might try; my voice has improved since Super Jaller (man, I REALLY need to revise that thing...).

 

EDIT - I don't know why, but I might be doing the Coach Z voice on all 4 places.

I'll consider if I can get my Dad's microphone to work. Could you describe what you had in mind for each part? (accents, tone, etc...)

And I quote, from the FAQ:

 

Q: So how do you want me to say these lines?

 

A: It's up to you. Don't keep the character in mind as much as the spirit of the line itself.

 

So accents, tone, whatever it is you're considering, it's all up to you.

Question: Would it be acceptable to submit multiple voice styles for the same character, so long as it's on the same file? I recorded different voices and am having trouble deciding which ones to submit. ^_^

A: Absolutely; the more the merrier.

This is where I blame my brain for totally dropping the ball. I swear I read it, so I'm not sure how I missed or misread it. :blush:

Heh, don't feel too bad I did it too.

 

Sent my audition. I hope the .wma format will work for you.
