Thread "Voices Needed for the Drunk Duck Radio Play" in forum "Comic Talk and General Discussion *"

Great idea!
Monologues and walls of text in a comic need dramatic voice-overs.

"It was a time of boredom in the galaxy…"
(insert wall o' text info-dump here)

@bravo: um, not sure I get your post. hoping to alleviate walls of text with PICTURES

*if I could add scratch-n-sniff, I probably would*

@Snevilly: I encourage abundant participation, which means there would be a lot of styles, if all goes well. So, no, I foresee little rigidity.
The script should be followed (like, please, don't introduce cowboys or zombies, for example), but with flexibility to add details that enhance the story – and we have plenty of dialogue from the script, so this should focus on adding visual.

I've been thinking of what I might add (NOT being the artist the rest of youse are); probably my perspective as "the director" (or czarina. hmm, I'm liking czarina). which means I'm thinking of the behind the scenes drama. so we could ALSO have pages about the divas vying with the drama queens, the maestro voice talent prepping for his recording – totally fictional fun in addition to the script story.

@NickyP: LOL! A great contribution, and I need to think of some kind of award for first in. (I'm still working on mine)

Before I post it in the comic, I want to see if we get anything for earlier in the story line.

re SFX - yes, one entry received. go listen :)

Hey guys, what about a mini promotional contest?

We could all make movie posters. When everyone sends in their vote for the cast there can be an extra category for their favorite poster.

We could then campaign a little by using cropped versions of our favorite poster as a little banner or button, reminding people to vote in our signatures as we post around the forums normally.

What do you guys think?

Posted at 1:06AM, Jun. 25, 2011

I'd really, really love to help out with the movie poster. :<

But my schedule's been unusually cramped this month. D: I can probably submit something on the sly, though I can't say it'll look good.

I was thinking something kinda like that movie I got, Radioland Murders, which is essentially a comedy about life at those old radio stations. ;3 It'd be a good film to reference, if anyone's seen it.

I love pulps. x3

IF YOU WANT TO DRAW FOR THIS PROJECT:

Please head on over to the forum thread dedicated to radioplay artowrk.

Thanks! (And awesome page, NickyP!)

Thanks, Deputy Czarina Ally. Ally donated the first artwork by providing the comic cover – not to mention the script!

I asked her to help with the collection of the art because I'll be away for about a week (very ill father-in-law), starting this coming Thursday. If you have questions about the art, please post your question or PQ Ally directly.

My vote's casted! Can't wait to see who the finalists are (or if I won the part I wanted!).

As for guessing, this is what I think:

-OnlyFoolsAndVikings: Narrator 4, Betty 3, Andy Dangerfield 3, Female Answering Machine 2
-rokulily: Betty 2
-ayesinback: Woman in Line 2
-bravo1102: Andy Dangerfield 4
-Ally Heart: Betty 5

Three votes are in. I gave 9 July as the deadline for votes (I think), but skoolmunkee had a good point:
with the site move coming up, the site we'll most likely have some time down.

So try to get your votes in sooner than later, because once the site move starts happening: Who Knows?

Posted at 4:06AM, Jun. 27, 2011

lmao!! I've only gone through the narrators so far (this is gong to take a while) but my sides are splitting! XDDD haha you guys are awesome!

Posted at 10:06AM, Jun. 27, 2011

@theorah: thanks for listening! as you say, it's definitely worth the effort. We'd all love it if you'd get your vote in!!

Same to everyone. However, with only four votes received, and with the site already acting funkadelic-y, I'll accept votes emailed to drunkduck100@yahoo.com if you can't stay on drunkduck long enough to PQ.

Again, please use this format:
Narrator-
Maxwell-
Betty-
Andy Dangerfield-
Eugene-
Janitor-
Woman in Line-contender-
Man on Phone-contender-
Female answering machine voice-contender-
Male answering machine voice-contender-

Interesting tidbit: as of today (compared to a week or so earlier), the most listened to Maxwell recording is in the lead; but the most listened to Betty recording hasn't received a single vote :)

Posted at 11:06AM, Jun. 27, 2011

Man on the phone #2 is Ray Romano! C'mon! Anybody? Anybody?

Betty #5 = Southern FTW. Betty #6….I'm not sure what you were going for there, but the entire time I listened to your voice I pictured a turtle talking.

Ofools… Own up now, you're Woman in line #4, admit it! :D

Those narrators…man… I know a lot of them were gag voices, but honestly the one that had me laughing the most was 11. There was just something wonderful about it that I just couldn't put my finger on. :)

Posted at 12:06PM, Jun. 27, 2011

You're right.
I could never stand that guy. The title of his stitcom is an oxymoron. I dun like that one. :(

I will vote. Tomorrow.

It's Squiggy from the old Laverne and Shirley show aka David Lander. Never knew he had a webcomic on Drunkduck did you?

So do Ed Wynn, Sidney Greenstreet, Jimmy Stewart and Ray Romano. :)

So I finally have images of the Radio Play Talents
*you know. click radio play talents*

I'm SURE this will make the voting and guessing far easier. so sure :evil:

uh, so, @the talents:

Some of you said I could use your avi – and Some of you Did Not Respond – but you see, there's this picture thread . . .

and there's some cool pix there . . .

so if any of you really object and would like to substitute the image I have of you on the page, email the image file to me.

hugs and kisses from
the Czarina

Oh-hohoho, I shall vote tomorrow hopefully, after going through the voices today! :D

I think I'm quite easy to guess xD

Nice. It'll be fun to match a face (where available) with the voice, once all is revealed.

Oh man, I'll hvae to listen to all these agiain (and the Quackcasts where I know certain people have contributed) to figure out who everyone is.

Haha, I don't mind people using my image for stuff, that's why its posted on the internet.

BUT GOOD LUCK GUESSING WHO I AM YOU FOOLS!

MUAHAHAHAHHAA–*looks at guesses from Ally and NickyP*-HAHAHAHHOOOOOOSHIIIT….

They're on to me.

Ok, went back and listened to EVERY. SINGLE. RECORDING, and this is what I've gathered so far:

-Genejoke (I'm sorry mate, I picked them all out :( ) Narator 7, Maxwell 2, Batty 4 (I laughed far too hard), Eugene 1, Janitor 1 and Male Answering Machine 3
-Pretty Sure that Narator 8 is Optimus Prime, hahahaha!
-Narator 10-Prof. Frink?!
-Ozone: Eugene 3 and Man on Phone 3 (I thought I heard a certain West Aussie Accent, mate)
-itsjustaar, pretty sure he's Janitor 4
-Bravo might be male answering machine 1
-Andy 7 :)Now that is attractive, I say!

Gonna send in my votes now >:)

Posted at 2:06AM, Jun. 28, 2011

can use my avi… or this.

image is photoshopped btw. think it was product placement who did it but I could be wrong.

Radio Play Talents
oooohhh. sorry if I was a bit thick to get the message, here's a picture I'm sure will help you guys recognize my voice…(s?)

Fixed

@Genejoke: the prof is proficient in photoshop (tongue twister?), but I'm pretty sure it was Ironscarf, who has a thing for face widgets. What I was hoping to find was the big eye pic you used briefly as an avi. but this one's good (at least 1337 approves)

Vote!

please.
