Now that the script is finished we need voice actors. Three Plingons, and four P-fleet officers needs voices.
P-fleet:
The captain, "incompetent idiot"*
The Vulgar tactical officer, "Annoying nerd"*
The Engineer, "Frustrated Grouch"* - Lee Crystal
The helmsman, "Competent incompetent idiot"**

** He is one hell of a pilot. It's not wrong to say that he is an ace pilot. That, however, doesn't stop him from trying to pull off manoeuvres that even he can't handle, convinced that he can make a big sluggish ship like the Stickstart fly just like an ultra-jet made solely to impress people at advanced flight shows.
Plingons:
The captain - Angela
Grunt 1 - David Jansson (I will do Grunt 1 for two reasons.
1. he is probably the most boring character and thus the hardest role to fill.
2. He should be the easiest character.
3. If any of you really want him you can have him if you can do him better than me, which shouldn't be too hard.)
Grunt 2 - Daniel Saarimäki
Find a good free and open source sound recorder and editor here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Use your crappy webcam microphone, one that is built into a laptop is enough, and record an audition for the role you want to play. Attach it to a shot.
To give as many as possible the ability to give it a shot a crappy microphone is a requirement. The crappy recordings won't stand out too much if all recordings are just as crappy.
Good lines for auditions:
P-fleet captain: "You incompetent pests! P-fleet put pots of pennies pottytraining you potheads! Pricks! Pundits! Pantywearing, pestering potatoheads! Progeny of perverse petit penises!" Everything shakes violently "Pevasive pevasive pevasive!"
P-fleet tactical officer, the Vulgar: "We missed. No surprise there. Aaaand, they are locking weapons."
P-fleet engineer: "All systems are cooking! The Twinkler and lightball launchers are on strike and refuses to talk to the controls´and the ship main computer is refusing to mediate unless it gets a raise! Deflector plates are dead! The coffee machine is about to explode!"
Plingon Grunt 1: "Salitosplingon äätip ania asneesa ässytsyp aj änääkkeheim!!" (A Plingon warrior keeps his cannons erect and virile at all times!)
The full script can now be found attached to this task as a document, the writing updated as of 2010-02-24. If you have any comments and ideas about the script, please share them as I realized it could be better. Just avoid anything that makes it longer or would entail that more models, sets or characters are needed...
Recording tips
Make sure that you have your computer plugged in to a grounded plug. This can actually make a biiig difference. I tried it with my laptop, so I know.
Experiment with your operating systems sound settings for sound input volume. Too much volume and you will get background static.
If you have a laptop, use an external mic. Built in mics on laptops tend to capture some of the buzz from the computer fans. (You should always keep fans out of your recording environment. If some manage to get in anyway, make sure you have practised speed autographing and quick platitudes.)

Another one posted. Is that better?
kk ^^
I would rather you just used your real voice. I remember you made a test, and that inspired me to how the Plingon crew interacted.
