request Voice Actor/Actresses needed for Minor or Semi-Major Roles. (VandOUni Post 1)

Recommended Posts

Good day, everypony. (Prepare for info!)
 
 
My name is Nectar Bluegrass. (Not really, that would be silly :lol: ) I read the fanfiction Vinyl and Octavia: University Days a few months back, and I was instantly inspired. I felt the urge to make it my own. And that, fillies and gentlecolts, is my purpose. I am in the process of writing a scripted dramatisation for a feature-length animation. Of course, the actual animation is not something to be discussed now, instead discussed in many, MANY months to come. Most likely years.
 
This, the first post of many, asks for something big of the fandom. This time around I ask this; Voice Actors or Actresses for Minor Roles. Minor roles, meaning roles that take very little time and patience. I also ask for Semi-Major roles, which are more important and do require a bit of time and work. Things like a narrator. Things like Vinyl and Octavia are complicated at the minute, as I think the majority of us know which two actresses I'd love to hear.
 
If you are interested in flogging your skills to the fandom, EXCELLENT. I'd love to have you. Even if you think that you may not be good enough, I still value your audition enormously.
 
Here is the Open Script
Here is the Original Fanfiction
 
Currently available roles are below. (They disappear when taken)
 

Minor:
 
Lillycup
Misc Background Ponies
 
Semi-Major:
 
Bon Bon
Lyra
 


 
Congratulations to Dark Horse Brony      for being cast as "Narrator (V.O.)"!
Congratulations to AspenSwift                for being cast as "Psych"!

Congratulations to Frozen_star               for being cast as "Background Pony #1"!
 
Smack a reply down there if you're interested. I'll post you a link to some stuff.

Oh my! replies this fast! You didn't half catch me off guard there! :D

 

EDIT: @DexterousWings Oh my, I didn't realise the above audition WAS an audition. Just realised. Sorry. Still send it though please, in full XD

 

Well, how to begin? I'd love to see an audition from you. I only require a small amount of narration, so it would be excellent if you could read the narration at the start of the script (Link in original post) for your audition. I'm currently setting up some fancy stuff, but until then, since you're so eager, could you send me the reading in a common audio format to jambler3@outlook.com . It goes to the same place anyways XD

 

For others reading this, please don't just send the audition. Reply to this thread first like the two before this. Thanks.

Excellent!  I hope you're not posting in class though XD

 

Could you send it to jambler3@outlook.com in a common audio format please. You can still post it on here though too! :D

I'd love to give the narrator a bash. I'll admit I've never actually done an informal internet audition like this, so if I might ask a noob question is there a particular way you'd like this done or will I just record a simple reading and send it to you some way? Thanks. :)

Same last question here. I don't mind being a voice, but I'll have to arrange it carefully, and see when I'm free. Plus, what does the quality have to be '^_^ Does a video recording on a phone count? If not, I may not be your guy. I wish this oppurtunity would happen later in life... *Sigh* When I'm not a teenager who lives with my parents...

That sound's excellent. Quality isn't important yet, it's just an audition. Also, the whole 'teenager who lives with my parents' thing, yeah, I get it. I'm just the same. And yet, I'm only 13 myself. You can do anything as long as you're determined to try :D

 

Background pony? I do like the old banter behind the scenes of everyone yapping on.

 

That would be great! I'd just need general chatter. Best way of achieving that is to fill Audacity with multiple tracks of conversation. The Open Script (Link in Original Post) should give away a few ideas of where background ponies would have a conversation.

A simple reading is fine. Just record a sample of narrative lines (Titled 'Narrator V.O.' in the Open Script [Link in original post] ) and complete the new form (I created it about an hour ago) which is now HERE. Please do NOT send auditions directly to me, that was only a temporary thing while I generated the form. Thanks y'all.

13? Kids these days... Some make me proud to be part of it's generation... While most don't. XD Don't worry, you're in the positive side of that. :) I find it awesome that kids your age are doing this stuff. I'm sounding like an adult when I say this, but I'm 16. I'll see what I can do. Whatever needs filling, I can fill for. I can do a bunch of different accents (From talking to myself sometimes XD) and I've watched the entire MLP series twice just recently. And am currently rewatching it again. So it's fresh in my head (Everything up to Season 5 Episode 2). I'll audition if a spot is needed to be taken. :3 Thank you for your consideration.

I'd be happy to do some background pony voices, after I get my microphone working.

 

Edit: I just started reading the Original Fanfiction, and it's amazing! Besides background pony voice acting, I'd be happy to help with anything else you might need.

 

 

Edit again: What material should I read for the background pony audition?

Excellent. Thank you.

 

This sounds fun, but I'm not sure if I can sound like any of the characters... I might give this a try though! I've not heard of Lilycup before, is she a background pony from the show? Also, I know that Bonbon's voice changes from episode to episode, so what would you prefer for her to sound like?

 

Lillycup is an original character by Dawn Fade exclusively created for the fan fiction. Lillycup, as indicated by the script, is a very socially anxious pony. Bon Bon is portrayed as an easy going character. She can be a bit of a doormat at times too. I kind of see her as sounding vaguely like Sonata Dusk, just slightly less dumb. If you're ready, I'm sure I posted the form above somewhere.

Superb. For the background pony material, none of it is scripted, but implied. As I mentioned in a post further up, just record general chatter in Audacity on a few overlapping streams. The submission form is in an earlier post above somewhere.

 

Just filled out the form, thanks for the help, hope to hear from you soon. :)

 

Thanks! I've seen it, and GForms has added you to the spreadsheet. I'll contact you when I've made my decision, and tell you if you got the part or not. Have a great day.

If you walk into a bar, what do you hear? Indistinct voices that you can't make out what everyone is saying. Lots of movies use things like this as a script for background chatter: http://loremipsum.net/

 

I could do with some of that. If you look in the Open Script, there are bits where whispers can be heared, chatter as main characters walk past, things like that. I hope this was somewhat helpful :D

Alright everypony, that's enough narrator auditions. I've made my desicion. The part of narrator goes to...

 

Dark Horse Brony!

 

Congratulations DHB! Your narrative stood out the most among the other auditions for your clear, well-projected voice. I am pleased to announce that you may begin your work on this project. Please await your PM filled with special scripts and things.

 

To everypony else who didn't get in, don't feel like you 'weren't good enough'. Everyone who posted an audition was amazing and the desicion was not an easy one. Good luck in your future endeavours. If you'd like to auditon for another part, a character called 'Shady' is coming along soon, and I already have one of you in mind for him. Be prepared! :lol:

Hey , for the background chatter would it be good if I just read out loads of quotes as separate files and to combine them wherever you need to, or is that not the kind of thing you were looking for?

Hmm. I'm not sure I understand what you mean. You mean read out phrases that ponies in the background might say, or gibberish and then allow someone else to combine them whenever necessary?

I don't know. I don't do well with gibberish.
