If there is a line next to the character, that is the line I want to hear for you audition. If not, improv it.

Hmm, we seem to have plenty of animators already, don't we?
Oh well, maybe I could still be useful elsewhere.

Here's a couple of the animations I did for assignments this year in Flash. One's a lipsync with an attempt at acting and the other is just quiet animation:

And just for kicks, the one thing in my DeviantArt account I'm the most proud of:

(I've got just the one bit of MI fanart up there right now, but it's sketchy and spoilery for ep4, so I won't bother linking to it. )

[TomPravetz]

Nice nice... May I see more of your work?

[puzzlebox]

I've got too much on right now to be involved in such an epic project, but keep posting here as you progress! I'm always happy to add an opinion

[TomPravetz]

So we need to get the main points of each game taken down.

[unicornfoal]

Which bits of my work, animation, drawing, writing, speaking? Or just all of them in general?

[zammap]

I can provide any female voice as well as still images
www.zammap.com

(I'm too lazy to do animation even though I know how)

[Greyweed]

I'd love to take part of this project, but I don't know what I am useful for.
I'm probably useless for voiceacting since I am only 15 years old, but if there's something you need, please send me a respond and I'll see what I can do.

[Scrawffler]

Greyweed, if you want you could send an example of your voice, just in case you are suitable for a character. You never know!

Mainly your artwork. And anything else you'd like to tryout for.

You have a very flexible style. I like your work... Let's see what Scrawffler thinks.

Guybrush has a very immature voice. I don't mean this in a rude way, just to clear that up, but Guybrush has that very young voice. Are you good at drawing as well? Or can you help with scripting?

Ooh, I like it too, lovely style you have there! Looks like we have our first artist on the team

[zammap]

Woot

So what style are we after? CMI? Movie concept? Tales concept/cover? Something totally different?
:O

Uhh... Err... Well... Errrmmm.... Can I see a quick sample of each? No need to take your time on 'em...

[Takun]

I'd be honoured to lend my voice to any of the required characters. I've got a voice123 page but it's sadly malnurished with demos, but I can do a few different accents, pitchs, emotions etc. (Plus Im just plain easy, hah). I use MSN, Skype etc as well with a uni-directional condensor mic, so whichever is best. My regular voice is probably aussie-accented but like I say, it's quite easy with a little warm up to lower pitch and style. (I'm working on Unknown Hinson's voice just for laughs come the work christmas party.)

Could you load up some demos like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSuig8e0DjQ) to a MP3 and post them up on a site like MegaUpload?

Well, I don't have public domain songs or sound effects, but leave it with me, I'll get something up and working.

[unicornfoal]

Okay! Artwork it is!

I softof have two different styles, detailed and simple. Simple is far faster and usually reserved for less serious pictures. For example, this TMI4 spoiler-filled picture I posted in the fanart thread:
http://unicorn-foal.deviantart.com/a...Gift-142566132
And these older (read: not so good) ones:
http://unicorn-foal.deviantart.com/a...Plate-41650909
http://unicorn-foal.deviantart.com/a...iry-1-49308623
http://unicorn-foal.deviantart.com/a...iry-2-52252455

And a couple examples of the other style I draw in:
http://unicorn-foal.deviantart.com/a...Snow-128568900
http://unicorn-foal.deviantart.com/a...-4-1-108371899
http://unicorn-foal.deviantart.com/a...ge-16-99002502
http://unicorn-foal.deviantart.com/a...age-7-64247562

... That enough? xD

Some major points of Launch of the Screaming Narwhal.

Seizing the ship. Meeting Winslow. D'Oro. Wind machine. Human LeChuck. de Monkey (err... Singe). Fight in the bar. Anything else?

[zammap]

:O



Working on BG

[Takun]

It's sadly not up to my usual scratch: between dodging work and family I manage to steal some time away to quickly record this. (Coming into summer too the fans had to be shut off so they dont interfere in the background).

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5UDBSKF0

d'Oro hunts for the might Power Pirate Playset (with swinging trap doors), de Singe informs a poor patient that the splinter in his leg has gone bad, Noogie tries a dating video (my worst I admit, I had his voice in my head but not in my throat), Stan tries to sell pre-used internet access (which is actually an inter-island net of lines that ferries messages in bottles, currently unavailable in Spinner Cay), and for fun, Judge Grindstump tells Guybrush that pirates who represent themslves have fools for clients.
I wanted to do a Moose impression and Crimpdidgit's "Glass Unicorns!" but if I really want to get that kind of scratchy voice it helps to prepare for it, and I just didnt have the time today. (Thank God for weekends.)
