The thread on auditioning and details on the project is here.

What I need are voice actors, singers, people good with sound mixing or failing that a link where I can get mlp sounds effects (like the unicorn glow sound, the squee, magic build up, elements of harmony, etc.)

 

Plus an artist

 

Maybe even a flash artist who can make it into a picture drama (as opposed to a slide show-so instead of a slide it, its a dynamic looking slide show..... yeah)

 

A point in the right direction, some volunteers, any help... helps.

 

On This post I will present to you all the characters I will be needing.

 

Mane 6

 

Twilight Sparkle

The studious pupil of princess Celestia she is the "leader" of the elements of harmony as she wields the "spark" of friendship and magic to summon the powers of harmony. Average sounding girl in all respects with a few nerdy quirks, but rarely to an extent to become a speech impediment. In fact she is quite a steadfast character full of resolve when it requires it.

 

Rarity

Voice-wise she speaks in a transatlantic accent which is a fusion of english and classic american accent, popularly (stereotypically) practices by the upper class. A fashion diva and fussy (and arrogant) to a fault.

 

Rainbow Dash

The tomboyish pegasus who's ego is about the size of Celestia's wing span. Has a brash boyish voice but most certainly a girl.

 

Fluttershy

The animal loving pegasus that's scared of her own shadow. Lines tend to include alot of whining and squeaks (that will be left to your own instincts) and the singing voice and speaking voice are smooth with a high register.

 

AppleJack

Cow pony. Think stereotypical southern belle and you pretty much nailed AJ

 

Pinkie pie

Pinkie Pie high pitched, obcessed with polka music. Hyper active sugar coated insanity who's always smiles and pep.

 

Alicorn sisters

 

Celestia

Speaks in a calm and maternal voice. As of yet, the show has no shown a singing Celestia.

 

Luna

No singing Luna yet so let's be the first. A little shoutier tone than Celestia and speaks in a way that easily transitions into archaic speech.

 

Villains

 

Queen Chrysalis

Her voice is warped using some sorta software to make her voice sound demonic. low and sultry.

 

Discord

Lower voice with a sophistication to it. Like a well spoken joker. The ability to laugh loudly and evilly will be required.

 

Cadence

Corrupted by Discord, she is evil and brimming with a lot of hate in her voice. She is sadistic and sultry in her speech. However later you will be required to speak sweetly and with emotion.

 

Nightmare moon

Luna's alter ego. Pretty much the same voice but with distinctive mad laugh and a mad zeal in her speech as well. In calmer moods she speaks with a significantly higher amount of arrogance than usual.

 

other

 

Shining armour

The main protagonist of this and will require to emote in a vast array of ways. Often times hurt physically and emotionally and varying from mild mannered, serious and at critical times that old sparkle resolve in his voice.

 

OC

The person that gets to play this character gets to name this character (though whether the name will be mentioned in the work is under debate). Will require to sing a Jazz number. Also the name should follow the 3-4 syllable pony name rule.

 

Octavia

well technically an extra, since her only line is "hmph" before playing her bass. But ya know... it's Octavia.

 

Blue blood

I'd like to say blue blood but it's pretty much any pony with a decent "I say!"

 

stallion

random stallions that are caught up in the mane 6's awkward attempts at courting.

 

extras

I need alot of extras. Many times harmonising with each other in singing parts or otherwise speaking random babble to make a crowded room. Much of the non-singing parts are ad-libbing. So it doesn't really matter about voice type. However on the singing part, you need to be on key, in time and in sync with the song so I can form harmonies with the voices.

 

Audition lines will be in handled as follows.

 

On the next post is the script. Speak and sing any part of that clip. Totalling to three different parts making a clip of audio (mp3) of roughly 10 seconds long or more (more is good).

 

Also include an ad lib line (in character or not).

 

Name the files as follows.

 

Character name_your name

 

 

send the MP3 file to ceresbane@gmail.com

Now as for art.

 

Ever heard of a picture drama? It's kinda like pseudo-animation. Since it's mainly a dynamic slide show than actual animation.

 

here is one by code geass

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nP0IWOhAQ4

 

What I'm looking for is stylised yet simple water coloured pictures. How detailed in terms of action is up to you the artist.

 

I personally don't mind so long as it's clear what in the world is going on and isn't heavily relying on the sound work to tell the story.

 

They should both support each other to add depth to the story.

So, how exactly does a voice actor audition? Do we recite lines, sing a song? I would love to try out for Fluttershy, but I don't want to do it wrong.

What could be the work of the artist ? Do you want a peticular part to be illustrated or preety much everything? (I cant make flash animation, but a comic strip with dinamic slides, I can try).

I couldn't exactly find it easily, and got confused by the ad lib thing. Just make up a line in character? I'll audition at some point, though. Thank you for clearing it up.

the project is nicknamed project V. Because of the time i want to release it by.

 

It's quite an easy guess to what it means.

 

so long as i can see a story upfolding even without the sound. You're doing something right.

 

 

 

And the ad-libbing?

 

You won't just be playing the part. You will also do a lot of extras work. To create atmosphere for the musical. Either being back up vocals for main songs and bgm or foleys like being part of a crowd that is laughing or mumbling.

 

The ab-lib is the stuff that goes into the crowd mumbling sound effects.

 

Just a general update:

 

currently constructing the bgm of the story and Discord has been cast.

 

Shining Armour is still open, however it is in discussion to who I currently have. If you really want the role you are gonna have to really wow me.

 

OC is still open.

 

The mane 6 is still open.

 

The Alicorn sisters, cadence and chrysalis are still open.

 

The other half of the script will be posted soon.

 

Right then update.

 

I'm still looking for VAs.

 

I have received auditions from alot of characters besides the following.

 

Celestia

Luna

Nightmare moon

Twilight

Rarity

Applejack

 

still accepting auditions for

Chrysalis

Cadence

Not sure if there's a problem with the link, but I can't access it. Maybe because I'm using Google Chrome? Pretty much the only role I could try out for now is Shining Armor

pick your character(s) you want to audition. Look at a script. record some lines (both singing and talking).

 

then send under the filename "Charactername_yourname"
