Apprentice: Looking for voice talent!

[big brother]

For Apprentice 2 (and a special version of the original), we would like to include voice acting.

Herculean Effort Production may have a variety of talents, but unfortunately, voice-acting is not one of them. If you're interested in helping out, please read the instructions below.

If you want to be considered for a part in either Apprentice or Apprentice 2, please record a sample (with your own microphone) and send it to
ifs104@NOSPAMpsu.edu (taking out the NOSPAM part, of course).

Here is the script for your audition wave files:

Hallo, where did everybody go?
I thought you might like some help with your sales pitch, sir.
I'll get blood all over your driveway!
There is no glory on the battlefield for me.
With all due respect, sir, I think you watched too many Tarzan movies as an impressionable child.

I'm looking for a variety of accents, especially British (but please be the real deal). Also, some female voices would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

Ian

When you say British, do you mean British or Bob 'oskins' British ?

If you need female actors talk to Azure. Here is her site: http://www.btinternet.com/~yukino/form.htm

Hope it will help. She's great!

m0ds: I think he mean British english, not American english.

Did you hear me sampleys?

[Privateer Puddin']

are those all for one character? i got one of them sounding good :p

[big brother]

Vel-

Sorry, dude, haven't heard the samples yet. The truth is, my comp's internet is still clustermucked. Sometime in the next few days, the network people will clear things up. For the time being, I'm either using a friend's comp or a lab computer. I don't feel comfortable installing software (winRAR) on these systems.

Anyways, when I said British accent, I don't care if it's upper-class or cockney, either is good. (Actually, I kinda like some of the accents in "Lock Stock" or "the Mean Machine," where they say "wif" instead of "with")

m0ds: I think he mean British english, not American english.

I think m0ds was trying to determine if he wanted an upper class British accent or a cockney one.

[Privateer Puddin']

do people realise how many accents there are in england?

[Quintaros]

I realize there's many more than 2 but I sure couldn't distinguish between them all.

[Privateer Puddin']

haha ever heard a geordie?

[Quintaros]

I don't think so... whuz dat?

[Privateer Puddin']

I don't think so... whuz dat?

Geordie n. & adj. Brit. colloq.
n. 1 a native of Tyneside. 2 the dialect spoken on Tyneside.
adj. of or relating to Tyneside, its people, or its dialect.

most known british accents id say are 'hollywood accents' how others think we talk, and try to emulate ie in movies

[Paranoia]

haha ever heard a geordie?

i live 30 miles from geordieland

then again anything north of watford is considered "geordie" in london..
so how would i discribe my accent...jimi nail on helium maybe?

Vic Reeves comes from my home town

[m0ds]

Metroland! Anyway, lets not go OT

I just meant that a lot of brit's in American films speak cockney.

Ali... please post a .wav of you saying "Emotional Rollercoaster" in your best geordie...  

Emoooshonal Roooolercooosta!

[Dave Gilbert]

It goes both ways.  I've seen some british films/tv shows where the american accents are abysmal.

Cool.  I just got a microphone and am eager to show off.  I'll get some samples for you soon.

On a side note, can anyone do a good imitation of Charles L. Charles (from MI 4)? That Shakespearian style would really work for a certain character...

[Ginny]

Garr, argrr, grrrah.. *struglles* I so dearly wish my mic were working. Tell you what, it's possible that in a week or two I'll have it fixed. Are the voices very urgent? I would love to star as one of the female roles (a not very big one, since I'm not a very good actor lol). My accent is generally american but it's been influenced by several accents so it's pretty mixed.
Do you want me to apply a specific emotion on each sentence, or just use my imagination with them ?

Must... change... email. Must... audition for Pib.
