Description

I am looking for sound actors. This is the part of the production I know nothing about, so if someone would like to lead this task, he can het this job. If you don't want to lead this task, you can give your voice to one of the characters.

Also theme music and backround musics are needed. I know one artist to ask from but any help is needed.

Characters and voice actors:
Sample (man) .- Darren Eldred
Scientist X (man) -
Assistant (woman) - Anna Pekuri
Soldier1 (man) -
Soldier2 (man) -
Captain (man) -
Driver (man) -
Echo1 (man) -
Echo2 (man) -

There can be some more soldiers and other voices but these are in the script. I need also sounds for monsters.

YOU CAN ASK TO BE A VOICE OF A CHARACTER, THAT HAS ALLREADY A VOICE ACTOR.

PROJECT GOES ON SLOWLY. PREPARE TO WAIT FOR A LONG TIME.

So very interested

Being a voice actor is something i'm serious about, I have a very versatile voice, thus it's a big interest of mine. Please contact me with lines for any of the characters and directorial advice that you have for the parts and i'll send you an audition.

This project is currently on hold because I'm working with other projects but send me some audio files and I notice you when I keep rolling again. You could try the soldier role. I need many of them.

Soldier 1,' Who are you and what is your purpose here?'

Soldiers are random guys and you can invent their personalities yourself. Sample has just got to the only area still held by the soldiers and the soldier asking that makes sure Sample is on their side.

Assistant is only female in this movie. She works with Sample and is the only one who can end the robots rampange. She doesn't have so personal characteristics. When she says that she is annoyed by Sample who refers to her bad shooting skills.

I will like to take you up on this. I will try my best. First I would like to know a bit about these characters like: what are they're emotions, who are they talking to, man or woman..... I want to get it right and do it good even if they are small parts. I thank you in advance.
Emily

Daniel Saarimäki March 25, 2011 17:40 Flag

I have only one female role and you may also try it. If you want to act in this movie you have to prepare yourself to wait a bit because I have other projects to finish now.

Try to record these two roles and send the files. Any mic will do it.

Assistant,' What's wrong with my shooting'

Soldier 1,' Who are you and what is your purpose here'

Script is on the task header. You could take a look at it and say what you like about it.

This is a bit tricky. This project is going on really slowly, because I have many other things to do. That captain comes somewhere in the middle of the movie, so it's going to take a long time before you can do anything. I'll contact you then!

Thanks- just keep me in mind!

Daniel Saarimäki August 01, 2010 11:05 Flag

I looked at that, and I think I might have some roles for you, but I don't need them for a while. I have only three roles until the half of the movie, and they have been filled already.

Daniel Saarimäki July 28, 2010 14:24 Flag

I can't turn on my laptop speakers now, but I will look at that later ^^

David: Could you stop that? My head is messy enough today :)

Sofia: I have only one role for woman. but I if you are interested, I can absolutely make room for another role for you. I think the actor of the assistant is still active enough. Actors are so rare here...

David Jansson March 31, 2010 17:03 Flag

Post a sample for Sample. Or was it the other way around? A Sample for sample? Or a sample of a sample. Or a sample of Sample?

I for one look forward to sampling Sample. (Not in the making sounds kind of way, know nothing about that kind of sampling. But I am quite good at sampling ice cream, or candy. And Sample do have some similarities to a lollipop.)

Daniel Saarimäki March 31, 2010 12:03 Flag

I need voice actors. Most roles aren't filled yet, but I have a problem. I have just started animating and there are only few characters talking until the half of the movie, so I don't need actors for a long time. This task has been open so long, that most of the actors for those roles have been unactive, so I don't know anymore who is playing who! I will re-share the roles when I need voice acting. You have to wait few months (I'm the only person making this, so don't wonder if I'm proceeding slowly).

Go on. Post a sample.

While waiting, go to Janssons project. He really needs amateur actors!

David Jansson March 31, 2010 08:30 Flag

I think sample do need voice actors.

And so does my project.

I sound like a geek

I guess I am a geek.

I want to be a scientist. So, maybe I can try to play the scientist?

I actually found an open source sound recorder with some nice features. Easy to use too.

Gah... I had dual boot Ubuntu on my older computer before I cleared it. I never used it because Blender didn't work on it for some reason. I don't want to jump between different using systems and I have found other good recording programes so I don't want to mess with it now.

I have 8GB memory on my computer. 32bit Ubuntu can use only 4GB and there is no 64bit version from it.

David Jansson February 13, 2010 11:59 Flag

Make it a dual boot Ubuntu?

Daniel Saarimäki February 13, 2010 11:40 Flag

I have used Audacity for a loooong time and it was my recording tool, but it don't work on my new computer! It keeps crashing on my 64bit Windows 7 Pro.

I'm interested!

I do amateur voice work... podcast narrations, the occasional local commercial, etc...
Give me a shout. I'll help out however I can.

Hi!

Sample haven't proceeded to animating yet, so you have to wait for a while before having anything to do. If you want to do something now, I suggest to look at Stick Wreck project here at WAM (www.wreckamovie.com/stickwreck). Animating of that project is going to start in few weeks and this project is going to start in about one month and I'm also in the Stick Wreck animator crew so go there if you want to get acting quicker.

Interested.

I'm very interested in voice acting and came across your thing here. I have no idea what the project is about, but if it has scientists and soldiers it's probably pretty cool and seems like my "thing".

I'm new to this site, so I assume there's an internal way to message me for a way to get a hold of me (I have skype, AIM, the typical stuff).

I'm from central Canada, so I have an essentially neutral accent. I can change it around a fair amount or force accents out of it, etc.

Welcome to WAM!

I'm at least "trying" to make this project cool so no problem with that :) If you want to voice act, you have to wait for a while. I opened this task a bit too early because I have nothing even animated yet, but I'm planning to start soon when I get my character models ready (2/3 ready).

I uploaded the script to the header of this task. It's not fully finished.

David Jansson January 31, 2010 15:21 Flag

If you want something to do until Sample gets recording, there is always Stick Wreck.

Accent is not problem here. You just have to wait for a bit, becouse we are still modelling things. We try to start animating soon. :)

That is the editable version of the script. It has all the changes done (all changes are in different colour) so it's the latest version.

I haven't heared your voice yet but I put your name to the list of actors.

Anna Pekuri November 11, 2009 19:04 Flag

Just read it, quite interesting. The assistant sound little bit like arrogant know it all :D just perfect!!

Daniel Saarimäki November 11, 2009 18:44 Flag

Yep. I'm looking for one female character and it happens to be one of the two main characters. I give you link where you can find the script. Read it and say what you like. I have another version with few edited parts but I will give its addres later.

Voice

I could definitely offer my voice, although I've never done it before. I'm British born but with an adopted Australian accent.

I downloaded your sample.mp3 and I can say that you accent is not a problem. I can hear that this has been recorded at midnight :). I try to image now what it would sound like if your voice would be in the movie. As I have said, I am not good at this part of making a movie... I can say that your voice is good for this movie but I am just thinking wich character you should take.

Scene 1 has a talking wich goes something like this:

Scientist X: Does it have had any effect yet?
Sample: No. Moment ago, I thought that I felt something, but no.
Scientist X: Ok. Let's wite for a moment and if nothing comes out then, I'll stop this test. We don't have enough time for silly tests.
(Scientist X leaves the room.)

You could record this few times and speak for both characters and try to say these things little bit different for each record. But remember, that I am not really good at english so feel free to fix that speak :).

Darren Eldred August 29, 2009 14:31 Flag

Got my mic back today so I thought I'd post a snippet. It's gone midnight here so I'm a little tired... might be best to record it when I'm fully awake, but here's a sample:

http://www.freewebs.com/arcadio2005/Sample.mp3

Again, my accent varies. British/Australian.. I've even been asked if I'm South African. You be the judge! ;)

Darren Eldred August 29, 2009 05:32 Flag

I get my microphone back on Monday so I'll post a snippet up then. ;)

Daniel Saarimäki August 28, 2009 14:28 Flag

Ok. First, send me a sample of your voice. Record a short tape where you speak, so I can see what kind of voice you have, so I can decide wich character you take. I don't have the full story but if you get scientist X or Sample, I can say now what you can do. Scene 1 has only little speaking. If your voice don't fit to any character (this isn't professional so you have to have quite bad voice if it don't fit) I know who to ask later.

THANX!
