Okay, so we are probably doing an audio drama. Warrior or Aror (I will not be posting his real name here just in case he doesn't want me to) is currently scripting a shorter one (Maybe four to five 10 minute episodes). I will reveal what the theme soon.
The other one is still in the works and I am not sure what it will be about yet. I currently creating the characters, and I don't know how long we'll have this one go on for.
Right now, we only have three confirmed voice actors. Warrior of Aror, Gabe, and myself (Two of our friends might be in on it too. Not sure on that yet. It's too early to tell.). It's hard to do a full on audio drama with only three people. We need other minor characters, and possibly some more major characters.
So... Here is the question.
Wouldn't it be awesome to have a bunch of UGers on this?
It won't be super easy, though... Not many of have good microphones lying around. Getting your hands on one isn't super expensive... And they might come in handy for a lot more than just this audio drama. Since Gabe into this sort of thing, we already have all the mics we could possibly need. Warrior or Aror was already planning on getting his own microphone, so that's why it'll work out for him, too.
If you are interested in being a part of this, this is the sort of stuff you would need.
1. A microphone. Well duh. But not the sort of cheap microphone that's on your headphones. One like this.
2. A pop filter. So when you say something that has a 'p' or a 'b', it won't sound explosive or unprofessional. Get one here.
3. Software. You have to record into something. Get this free software here (No, it's not some virus loaded scam. This is the one that Gabe uses.). You might have to watch a few tutorials, but I'm sure it will be worth it.
That's all. The way we would do it is do a voice chat/Skype thing and give you your lines. Then, you record them into Studio 1. After that, you export it and send it to us. We add it to the audio drama. Simple.
If you have money and you really want to do it and you are so excited that you are already buying the stuff, WAAAAIT! We aren't even positive that we're going to do this yet. Also, we don't even know if the microphone we linked to will be good. We'll let Warrior buy it first and see if it works. :P

I got excitement, but I don't got money or tons of time :/ I talked to Warry for a bit though.
ReplyDeleteMy church has basic stage mikes, will those be OK?
Yep, they'll work great, as long as you have a way to get the audio from those mics into the computer... Maybe the church mixer has a USB output that you could plug into your computer. You will want to talk to the sound engineer first, though, because things like a live sound setup are easy to mess up.
DeleteThis would be so cool to be in! =D And I like voice acting, however I don't know if I can get a mike at this point in time. =/ But let me know if you're seriously doing this and I'll see what I can do. =)
ReplyDeleteWow, hey, I'm the guinea pig here? HEY!!!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. :P
I'm not sure how long it'll be until we can do this. It might be awhile. I don't have a ton of time and we still need to write up scripts/experiment and stuff.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like fun, but unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to participate. :(
ReplyDeleteI will think about it. I have the money for a mic, but I can't think of anything else I would use it for besides this. I'll look into it s'more though. :)
ReplyDeleteThis sound so fun, but even though our family has a bunch of good recording stuff, I likely won't be able to participate. My dad is really busy and he hasn't shown me how to do all the recording stuff yet. So if I ever can I will let you know, but right now I can't. Let me know when you have it available!
ReplyDeleteI know quite a bit about recording stuff..... Maybe I could show you how. What equipment do you have?
DeleteActually, go to gabemillermusic.com, go to contact, and send me an email telling me what gear you have, and I'll walk you through its use.
DeleteOk, I sent you a message.
DeleteI sent you a message back.
DeleteOkey dokey, I'm in!
ReplyDeleteI've always dreamed of doing something like this, but I'll have to talk to my parents, and my dad's away on buisness, (Comes back in 15 days) so I won't have my answer up for at least a 20 days. But I would be interseted.
ReplyDeleteAnother recording device I would recommend the H2 Handy Recorder. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/H2N/ This will be more expensive but it's portable, and it produces really good sound. You also do not necessarily need to have software to record into. It uses a regular SD or SDHC card.
ReplyDeleteSo far, we have 6 voice actors... Me, Andy, our sister, a friend of ours, Hyperlinkzer, and Warrior.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can ask my parents if you need more. My mom told me today that she has instructions on how to run the recording software, so I might actually be able to. It sound so fun!
DeleteOr, you could download the one I recommend, I have a tutorial on how to set it up here: http://drummer4.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-to-use-your-microphone.html
DeleteOr, if your mic is the H2, you can just take the audio off the SD card and send it to me via dropbox, Google Drive, or something like that.
For the shorter one, that is. Not sure about the longer one. Probably most of the same people.
ReplyDeleteIs it too late to sign up? I'd like to join! Aarathyn and I can team up with our equipment. :D
ReplyDeleteI'll email Andy, Hyper, and Warrior. :)
