We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

After spending some time in Audacity, I have determined that I cannot make my voice sound convincingly female.

However, I have recorded my voice which is slowly being uploaded to Dropbox, so I'll get the link in this post if anyone cares to here me repeat the deathlist in an apathetic tone.

Edit: Here it is.

[Mr Frog]

Huh. Didn't realise that Lolf was Aussie/Kiwi/British/Martian/whatever the hell accent that is, I am stunningly bad at identifying such.

There's this odd sort of ringing in the background when you speak... Imma assume that's an artifact of the microphone and that you aren't actually some kind of android.

I might also upload my voice again, because it's probably changed a bit in the ~1 year since I last gave a sample.

I'm bad at describing voices, but I can sort of picture you voicing a smug character. No specific reason I can name, just instinct.

[Lolfail0009]

Yes, I am Australian. Any governmental assassinations are welcomed.

As for me voicing a smug character... Spot on choice there Smugness I can do about as well as breathing.

[Splint]

I dunno why but hearing the dead players list read out loud cracked me up.

[Mr Frog]

Two up-to-date (as of this post) Mr Frog noises have been uploaded. Here is me reading the kill list in a more-or-less neutral tone and here is me in-character as Mr Frog delivering his now-probably-infamous mug rant.

Dude, you have vocal cords that a dragon would be proud of O.O

Heh, Lolfail pronounces "Aseaheru" with a japanese twang to it, but the rest of it sounds like a... WA accent?


As to Mr Frog's stuff, it made me laugh. Good on ya, man.

I pronounce things VERY weirdly, but other than that... Melbourne, born and bred

[Reudh]

Hah, same here.

[Mr Frog]

Okay, we now have something resembling a cast. Since nobody's volunteered for scriptwriting duties, I guess I'm going to have to do it myself. I will get at least one goddamn skit produced by the end of the month if it friggin' kills me.

It'll probably be something silly, seeing as how these are sidestories with established characters and I don't wanna fuck up the canon too much. Anyone have any ideas on how recording should be carried out?

[Splint]

Could always just wing it. Of course the way I used to do it would be to record my lines and send them to the guy I made videos with  via skype and he'd tell me what needed correcting.

Also the mug rant shouldn't be listened to while eating. I almost choked on a burger due to laughter.

That may work, and I think that's what I'll have us try to begin with, although I'm worried that it'll end up sounding disjointed if we don't record the lines all together as part of a coherent scene (although I'm not sure how that could be done).

Current skit idea: Takes place during one of Splint's terms as Overseer. Bombzero casually comments to Splint that she completed her quota of butchered corpses, which he doesn't remember setting. Splint, being a paranoid nut, assumes that this means someone has been forging work orders (as opposed to Bombzero simply being delusional) and runs around the fortress interrogating everyone, neglecting his actual duties in the process and causing the fortress to fall into unmanaged chaos.

(Note: I came up with the above idea under the impression that Splint was the fortress manager. About 1 minute ago I found out I was mistaken, so it's even more questionable than usual whether this idea would work.)

[Splint]

Pretty sure I was either manager or bookkeeper for a long time though.

This sounds like it would have actually happened. Splint, in his paranoia, is so busy interrogating anyone with authority that he forgets to relieve the stonecrafters, who keep working to produce mug upon mugs upon mugs.

It occurs to me that I'm already working on Thol's journals for this thread... I think I'll focus my efforts on that for a time. I might get around to writing a script afterwards, but nobody seems really interested so meh.
