[WAR XI] Voice Acting Section

[TheEvilDookie]

Welcome to WAR XI Voice Acting!

Hello! If you’re interested in entering the Voice Acting section of this seasons WAR, then you’ve come to the right place!
Down below, you’ll find the rules and regulations that you must abide by to do well.
I won't waste any more time, so let's get to it!




Rules;
--In order to submit an entry, you must be a part of a WAR team. If you're not, join one! Where’s the harm?
--You may submit only one entry per week. You can edit your entry as many times as you desire, as long as it is submitted before the deadline.
--You may submit your entry either in this thread or through PM. You can resort to PM if you’re worried about other’s taking your ideas. Don’t PM me with your entry if you’re afraid what others might think.
--All entries have to be submitted BEFORE the deadline. Otherwise, I won’t count it. A few minutes or so past it will be fine, but not several hours.
--All entries must fit the theme. If I cannot see the connection between your entry and the theme, you will have a chance to justify yourself.
--Only voice clips are acceptable. Upload it to a site in a format in which I and everyone else can listen to it. If I’m unable to play it on my computer, I will let you know to fix it.




Entry;
-Team:_____________
-Name:_____________
-Entry (link):_____________
-Original story (for monologue only):_____________




Judging;
--There will be three winners. First Place, 3 points, Second Place, 2 points, and Third Place, 1 point.
--Judging will be based off of these few categories...


Character (10 points) - What is the role you are speaking for (i.e.: a senior, a child, a pirate, a casual observer) and do you portray that role accurately?
Commitment (10 points) - Do you maintain the same character throughout the piece? Are you expressive with your character?
Clarity (10 points) - Quality varies between mics, this simply refers to how you speak. Unless there is a part where the character is supposed to be mumbling, your words should be audible and clear.
Creativity (10 points) - In the case of creative interpretation: did you really take that slogan and own it?
In the case of the monologue: does the story really stand out as imaginative and original?

This is a scene from episode 1 of a wonderful television show called Moonlight. Unfortunately, my parents don't really like me on Youtube and this was scripted and done (from my end, at least) with my personal copy of the Season 1 DVD set, so I don't have a link for you. The voice of Mick (the guy here) was done by Sealboy, and while the difference in mic quality admittedly drives me up the walls, there's nothing I can do about it, and I will still probably thank Seal a million times over for helping me out here. Fountain sounds found on SoundDogs and added because of where the scene is set, and because otherwise the pauses, particularly Beth's first as she walks out of the fountain and over to Mick, sound horrific otherwise.

Entries closed. I wasn't around to say it since PE2K was down when I thought of it, but I gave you guys a little time extension. I don't think it really mattered though lol. Thanks for making my job easy with this one LOL. Results will be posted by tonight.

[TheEvilDookie]

ok uhh yeah. After talking with WAR officials, we've decided that I will save the score for Winter's entry and mix it in with scores for next week. Winter, if you choose to make a new entry for the new theme, you may, but the higher of the 2 scores will be taken. If anyone has any other questions about this, you can VM/PM me or post in this thread.

Anyways, as for next week, the theme will be Radio Commercials. Make up your own radio commercial for any product/service of your choice. It can be a real product/service or it can be something from Pokemon or some other video game. For example, you could make an advertisement for Poffins or Zombie eradication from your house. Be creative with it! :D

OKAY, I am so doing this. It's way less confusing than last week's theme. xD Bahaha, this will be great. I so want to do this.

[Sealboy]

I love this theme so much - I SHALL DO THIS!

Compared to last week's theme, this one is lovely :3 Thanks Dookie!

If I read this a week earlier, I could have used a monologue I studied for theater >.<
I'll still be participating, though.
Time to do some writing!

[Graceful_Suicune]

Okay... XD I'm done.

First off, I wanna say a few things:
1) All the music/sound effects are royalty free

2) I sing in this. XD Sorry if:

a. It's whiny and annoying
b. It's off-tune (it is at some points XD)
c. It's just overall really horrible
d. The song gets stuck in your head

And it was entirely improv (although I redid the actual singing because to start with it was even WORSE)

3) There are bloopers at the end, and I ask you not to include them as part of my score/part of the ad itself. XDDD I always like to include bloopers so that's why they're there.

XDDD But eh. I decided to go for it. I know the song is a bit long but oh well. XD IT'S A LONG JINGLE OKAY? But yeah. Hopefully you can stand it without having to skip over it or anything. XD Anyway.

It doesn't work for me. D: I downloaded some weird really tiny .wav file that was not your recording. Upload it to Tindeck next time!

~GS.

[mintjelly]

It won't let me upload it to Tindeck; none of my programs are letting me save the file as MP3. I'm gonna try uploading it to youtube.

*EDIT*

I uploaded my backup file to the website, tested the download on a different computer, and it works!

[Winter]

Mintjelly, what kind of audio programs do you have? If you have Audacity, you can record on there and export on MP3s once you download LAME for it, or you can just download an audio file clonverter--I ended up doing both. Since my comp woupld only export WMA files.

[mintjelly]

I used my backup file, and it worked fine.
