A couple of years ago, I read a Digimon fan fic that I absolutely loved, I soon came up with the idea of creating an audiobook for it, but rather than it just being me talking, I want to give it a really professional feel, so have separate voice actors for the characters, sound effects, soundtrack ect. Therefore, if anyone is interested in doing some voice work, please let me know. I'd like to get a good mix of guys and girls.

I'm not even a Digimon fan, but I'd be glad to participate. I can do a pretty decent range of different types of characters.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

Thank's for replying!

Couple of questions:

  • Boy or girl?

  • Would you be willing to read the Fan fic + summary of digimon/characters?

I'm kinda interested, but I have some initial questions:

1. How long is this fanfic?

2. How good do you need the recording quality to be?

Ah great more help!

(Hope that didn't sound sarcastic)

Two answer your questions:

  • 1) the fan fic Tamers Forever (yes it has its own page grin) is a five book series. If it were printed out in novel format then the page count (as far as I recall) would be:
    • Book 01: Card-O-Rama- 52 pages
    • Books 02,03 and 04 Omni-Tamer, Forget the Y2K, This Is Madness!! And Theory of Chaos- all between 250-300 pages
    • The final book: Silent Sorrow is a Door Stopper at over 800 pages
  • 2) As good as I can get it. While I understand that resources will be limited, I have no wish to half-ass this project. Tamers Forever is a fantastic series, and I want to give it the audiobook it deserves.

The questions I asked in the previous post, I also ask of you, However, I have a new question: How comfortable are you with doing dramatic emotional scenes? Tamers Forever may start out as a comedy, but it has a crapload of Tearjerkers near the end, that I dont want toNarmify.

For your earlier questions

1. Boy

2. Already familiar with Digimon (I assume this is based on Tamers, which I've seen so I should have a decent frame of reference). I'll be more than willing to read the fan fic and do some extra research for the role.

second set of questions

1. ehhhhh... I'm not comfortable saying yes until I have an idea of 1) How big the role(s) I land will be and 2) how soon you want this thing done

2. Full disclosure: I haven't done voice acting for someone else's project since some video game mods about 10 or so years ago, and I'm not particularly proud of the performances I gave in those mods (they were VERY brief roles though).

2 b: re Microphones: right now I have access to two mics. One cheap, one cheap-ish, both over 4 years old, and I don't know if either works. I'd be more than willing to buy a new mic (which I should probably do anyway) but I don't think I'm comfortable spending more than 20 bucks or so on a mic for the sake of a fan project. Sorry to be a miser, but money's a bit tight right now.

...the length is kinda intimidating there, and I'm not sure if I'd have time to read that whole thing what with being in college and all. I'm gonna have to think about that.

Also, I'm a dude.

You should consider putting up an audition thread at Voice Acting Alliance if you want to get more people to see this.
