If the VA needs Skype I'm out. Skype is a bunch of ads, and I hate ads. Unless I can help a small community (like this one). Other things I have to offer: Hangouts, Email. How should the voice sound like? Deep? High? Or doesn't it matter?

1.: You probably mean Mane 5, since Rarity is already dead 2.: The question is: Why? I want to be true to you: Reading this idea gives me the following thoughts: Okay. To get the reader's attention you must confront them! Throw all you got against them, give them what you want and soon they will be eating sugar out of your hands! It's not interesting if he can do it, the interesting fact is what drives him to do that? And why has he been kidnapped in the first place?

@Lucas2k14: Okay, I tried anything, I just don't get the "Youthful" sound. There's still something deep in my voice (and if I speak high enough to remove it it just sounds silly). Sorry :/ But *gasp* I'd try to do the both principles (you get to decide which one is best). I'm also going to buy a "pop-filter" (that's how we call it here) for my microphone, so even better quality! Can you post the lines or are those two already taken?

All righty then! Expect mail on sunday evening CET. I'm 24 by the way.

I'm trying AJ, Twi and Rare. I have no idea what I think is good enough to send you, though I'll have to hear.

Is there some kind of deadline for the audition? Is next weekend fine?

Can you give a little more details? VAs will much more likely send you something when you give them something to speak.

I love it! But... it's not 16:9. Instead it is 4:3 (from what I can see)

I recommend Sony Vegas. It may be hard to learn, but there are a lot of Youtube tutorials. It also comes with a lot of filters and effects, but don't expect much from them

It would be nicer to make a deadline, to give everyone a fair chance for people like me. I'm only able to record in the weekends.

I found a good one that is how I imagined it: http://dragonwolfrooke.deviantart.com/art/King-Sombra-Wallpaper-337420102

Anyone knows of a wallpaper with just King Sombra's eyes? That'd be neat.

Here again: Nice WP, but only someone who knows this picture knows that this shall be equestria.

Both have that "it's from a kids show" flair. But they are great, no doubt. I don't want to talk your efforts down or something, I appreciate that, and I think willem will too

Nice WP! But this could just be a random phoenix. If you hadn't told me it's Philomena I wouldn't know :/

I actually cannot access the attachments Oo

I'd love to have one, too. I once had a King Sombra wallpaper and totally forgot that as I plugged in a projector in school. I was able to quickly open a random window, but someone saw it and was like "WTF MAN!"

It'd be nice to see a rhythm game like rhythm heaven /)°3°(\

The actions is too quick. To build up atmosphere and to catch the reader you need to describe things better, as if you were there. Let's take a look at your first line: Howling, dr.M hoofed madly at the splintered, pale door. At first I didn't know what you meant by "Howling, dr. M hoofed madly...." I was like: "What? Howling dr. M hoofed madly? He howled as he did so?" To fix this you need to describe: A howl erupts in the small, dimly lit stone tunnel. Their urge to leave this place intesifies as this howl sends a shiver down their spine. It seems as if they are running for an eternity as Dr. Manecore suddenly spots a pale wooden door, its splinters speaks of its age. (The hoofing part comes in the next part) Now the next line: "let me in! Let me in!" he panted; No response. This is best example for too fast action. When you read it you would make a pause between "he panted" and "no response". But the common reader won't, since he doesn't know what lies ahead. To fix this you need to force him to pause, by describing something that happens. "Let me in!" he shouts as his hooves bang against the door. "Let me in!" He bangs against the wooden door, not caring about the splinters. He just wants to get out. Alive. "Anypony in there!" he screams in panic, his hoves hurting from the banging. Dr. Manecore knows that they have to keep moving, or otherwise [something bad happens].

red marks my comments. Please share your thoughts with us, this actually quite awesome to help

The RP was not explicit, but the fic I wrote was. And "shiste" doesn't exist But from how it sounds I think you mean "Scheiße" Ideas? I'm not into adventures, but imo it's good to make the actors go into the adventure without them knowing it will be an adventure. Okay, that depends on the characters. Rainbow and Daring Do know perfectly well that they will go on one. I also think that you should not use portals that beam into other worlds (an alternate universe where everything is "upside down" is okay) and totally overpowered characters (they are okay if they have the same amount of weaknesses). Hmm, developments... yes. You need ups and downs. In German we call it "Spannungs Hysterese" which means that you slowly build up atmosphere and then come to the climax. And a twist of events builds even more atmosphere (but don't overdo it). Character developments are a "nice to have". Two characters don't like each other? Let them work together. They NEED to work together to come out there alive/unhurt/with their pants full of gold. Even though it is cliché for the adventure genre it makes a good read and sometimes causes a smile on the reader's face. And that is what we write for, right? When it comes to conclusions I would keep it like in the series: Everything is good again and the characters learnt from their doings. Will they stay friends? Are they able to continue their lives normaly? Are they scared for live or even haunted? Who knows! Well, you do, but that is not the point. Or maybe you are the open ended type, that keeps the reader thinking and leaves you room to write a sequel - if even wanted. Open ends have their positives aspects, as long as you don't let the story end to soon. As you can see, many aspects are good as long as you don't overdo it. It's like creating a character: Overusing one aspect of their abilities makes them a Mary Su. Do you have ideas?

All you need are characters? Okay. This is my RP character: Name: Alex Grey Species: Earth Pony Color: Light Grey Manecolor: dark blond Cutiemark: Staff of Esculap Gender: Male Occupation: Paramedic in the EMD (Equestrian Medical Division) Alex is a normal Pony who does his job and helps everypony who asks for help. He has a leading role at work and his coworkers respect him. Alex leads the medical attendance group in the catastrophy defend unit, giving ponies in need food and a shelter with the unit's tents and carts. As he served in the Royal Guards he learnt how to use firearms, but sooner or later he decided to quit the job as it got too monotone. Being the helping pony he is he tries to solve problems even though it may seem hopeless. But don't overstress his nerves or he may burst in anger which involves A LOT of shouting. Alex is stubborn, not taking help when he actually needed it. Only in emergency situations, when he can't find a solution, he gives in and agrees to be helped. I know it's a non pony story, but it's a character, right?

Glad to help^^ I started to write a fic about a RP I was involved in (explicit content, of course). I actually finished it, but it is in German and involves me and Twilight (Yes, I know. But it was fun to write and only one other person got to read it... okay, two. My girlfriend read it, too). But now it's more of a writer's block. I can only write in a RP, since I can't come up with a good scenery to start the fic and how the actors got there in the first place.

Depends on what you want to write. Romance? Adventure? Slice of Life? Grimdark? Personally I prefer Romance... or actually more adult rated settings, that's where I can write and be creative. And Grimdark. I guess I have just a sick mind. So?
