Why, thankurs everybody. I had no idea my voice was all that manly. :o YA DAMN RIGHT I DID. D:<
And I second lynn's suggestion: I would make a completely hawt Yuffie. :D
@pen: Ha, you sound like a nervous sweaty kid of sumthin'. :B No worries, silly, there are no sterotypes here on the GA of Awsumz. :p
Also: I am now convinced that I simply must do a Mr. T impression. :p Gimme a minute.
Edit: Okay, so that was more like a few hours. But hey, I was working on a project and a college application, can you blame me? :p
Sorry guys, my camera died, and it was the only way I could get audio up. ;_; I'll have to wait till my dad buys a new battery (or rummage through the piles of junk in the computer room...tomorrow, when I am not immersed in great HP fanfic. :D).

A test run, eh? Hrm...
My Immortal I kinda want to do Faith and Feather, by Rose Flame, actually, because not only does that fic rock my socks but it has a good mix of genres. And it uses pretty much every character, which will be good practice for our VAs.

For video clips, I was wondering if anyone has DoC FMVs in high quality? I've got all the AC and CC clips but my DoC ones are pretty terrible. Instead of using video clips, why not illustrate it? Worked great for the cut-scenes in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. It really would set the trailer apart from others. Plus, it's a good chance for the artist to show off their work. I know there's plenty of artist lurking around here in the forum. (Speaking of male voices, I fell like we're missing someone... someone blond and depressing.) I'll do it. Just out of sheer boredom, too.

I've never actually seen cut scenes like that...is it still animated, with lots and lots of illustrations to create a sort of flipbook effect? 'Cause that sounds like an awful lot of work (to me, anyways, and I have zero skill in art so I may be totally wrong).
Maybe what we could do is have illustrated title screens with the rest using clips?

I think I know what remnant's talking about, it's not quite like a flip book thing, but more or less a story book kind of thing, with narration over it. It would be a great intro or something, and once you get the general narration- summary type thing you can leap into clips with voice acting.

Ooooh. Actually that would work really well then, because it allows for a more custom, accurate representation of the fic.

Still a lot of work, however, if I'm picturing this the right way. Of course, I have really obnoxious ambitions and tend to hate doing the bare minimum. I'm picturing things like expression transition, position movement, and within the actual movie editing itself: panning, zooming, etc.
If I have some time this weekend I'll throw together a quick somethng for one of my fics as an example.

If you can catch them off guard with original work, it might draw more interest to the trailer and/or the nominated fic. Still a lot of work, however, if I'm picturing this the right way.

Just thought if anything likes this gets underway, here's a good resource: voiceactingalliance.com/board/forumdisplay.php?f=53^ SFX library. Great stuff. Maybe we could do this for the next People's Choice Winner or something, or have a special category for Best of Show or something and do that. XD

Oh, leaf that's a great idea. :D We actually do need an Elena voice for carrie's "Cleansing the Soul." Waitwait, apparently not. :p Mebe? I dunno, I can't find it. If it isn't there, I'll nominate it.
We should probably put up a list of needed voices and have interested candidates try out, ya know, to get some management underway.
And leaf, I would love to read you bed time stories. Assuming I can find fresh batteries for my camera. >.>;;
Edit: Success! :D I have found a battery. It is not full, but it is enough. So, without further ago, mah best Mr. T impression:

tinypic.com/player.php?v=9la61y&s=4I hate to say this, koky, and I mean this in the most loving, wonderful way possible (because I heart you), but your Mr. T is not black enough. EDIT: LOLOLOL IT WAS A JOKE IF ANYONE BESIDES KOKY IS LIKE "*GASP* RACISM" I WILL IGNORE THEM XD Also, I just wondered. Is ANYONE truly black enough to be Mr. T?

Also, I just wondered. Is ANYONE truly black enough to be Mr. T? I was seriously considering putting up a picture of Chuck Norris, just for the lulz. Also: Voice-over work is generally the last obstacle to tackle, so to speak. In order to get a good enough lip-sync, or just an idea of what the actor/actress should do in general, the script, clips, SFX, and everything else in general needs to be done. Voice-overs are best left to last. Holding a giant audition thread based in the Voice Acting Alliance, where people from both there and here could audition for parts, would honestly be the best way to go because it would allow the best possible choices for each character to be found - after everything else is done. >.> Eeeek, I'm sorry. Honestly, I'd super love to help in this department, and I've randomly spent geometry third period time figuring how to work the entire VA section out, so in my over-excitement I could be and probably am overstepping my boundaries right now and sounding like a snot-nosed brat. @___@ Sorry!

Koky...lol. <3 La, voice acting was suggested with you in mind. By all means, take command. And yes, I find having AT LEAST a script does tend to help before doing the VA. And I never even considered the lip-synching and the effects SFX would have on the VA...see La, THIS IS WHY WE NEED YOUR MAD SKILLZ. So it still comes down to choosing a fic to do the test run on. I don't want to be all 'b**chez do what I say' so, thoughts on doing Faith and Feather? Anyone? Don't be afraid to make suggestions, we'll only mock you terribly if we disagree. ...Or we could do one of mine for shameless self advertising. 'Cause I just remembered I wrote a mock trailer as past shameless self advertising wayyyy back.

Pen, you've just stepped all over and broken my soul. ; 3; Mr. T is now forever dead to me. ;_;
@la: Omg, you so should've put up Chuck Norris, thatwould'vebeenLULZ. :D
And, by all means, take command of the wheel and steer the ship, because I had no idea what I was blathering on about. You're underage, NO STEERING FOR J00!
