Here's a little video guide on how to record your voice smile.gif

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_VI9SwTwqw

1. Get your microphone and plug it into your computer. Most laptops have build-in mics, but an external mic is almost always better quality.
2. Get Goldwave, a free recording program.
3. Do a test recording to make sure that your microphone works.
4. Talk along with the movie, print the script if necessary: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n9Lb5eA...dit?usp=sharing
5. Save the file as your name - scene - littlefoot.wav (no need to install any codecs for mp3 or the like)
6. Send the files to me. Just contact me and we'll figure out a way to get the files to the right side.

7. Have fun biggrin.gif

Better save than sorry

I'm glad that you're going to voice Littlefoot

Oh, first two scenes means Littlefoot's birth (where Littlefoot doesn't speak at all anyway) and the Littlefoot playing with his Treestar bit, the Littlefoot & Cera bit and Littlefoot's mother explaining things to Littlefoot (Why can't I play with that Threehorn etc.) until the scene fades out. The rest, we'll do later.

Though Littlefoot will suddenly have an Australian accent...xD w

Aussie Littlefoot FTW!

I can't wait to see the end result of all this.

Wow this looks really fun

I wish I could contribute but I don't have the equipment.

Ah well I really would've like to do Icky if we ever got to lbt 4

Then again this project is probably not even goin on anymore

Ducky123 · **Reply #83 on:** June 07, 2015, 06:21:06 PM

I don't think it is going to ever work out I'm afraid

Mumbling · **Reply #84 on:** June 08, 2015, 01:42:43 AM

It takes up a lot of time to 'remove' voices from a scene manually, and when I do it automatically you still hear traces here and there. Sadly enough, time is one of those things I don't have these days. Graduating next year, maybe if I happen to be jobless for forever I'll pick it up again

Ducky123 · **Reply #85 on:** June 08, 2015, 01:25:07 PM

Just let me know when you have graduated and then we'll do it!

If there's still enough interest in this project, that is

Mumbling · **Reply #86 on:** March 06, 2019, 01:19:34 PM

Hey @Ducky123 remember when you said I should let you know when I have graduated? Well I did, 2.5 years ago, got a full-time job and even less time... But more than willing to resume this project. Thanks to Vimeo I still have those first two scenes ready to go and I can probably find most sound recordings in my inbox. Just gonna tag the people who originally showed interest, though I realize many of them are no longer around:

Littlefoot: @Littlefoot1616 , @Nahla , @somerandomfangirl
Ducky: @StrutEggStealer
Cera: @DarkWolf91
Petrie: @The Anonymous Person
Mother Longneck: me!
Narrator: @Belmont2500
Rooter: @Dosu2Dinner
Cera's Father: @The Anonymous Person

Let's see if anyone is still interested and if we can get this on the road properly.

I probably have no talent but I'm still down if you take the lead, Iris!

Flathead770 · **Reply #88 on:** March 06, 2019, 06:41:40 PM

Might as well try and give this a shot. Could be a lot of fun!

Mumbling · **Reply #89 on:** March 07, 2019, 02:01:51 AM

Awesome! Listening back to our admin attempt, I have no talent either, Ducky, so don't worry too much

It's mostly about having fun and making something silly together.

Cool Flathead! I'll try to set some stuff up today. Try to make something of these last few vacation days I got

Sneak · **Reply #90 on:** March 07, 2019, 02:41:04 AM

Whoa,interesting project you have here!
I think I can take role of Sharptooth only.XD Or Spike...

Anyway: Is there a program than not only records your voice but also changes it to childish one in good quality?

Mumbling · **Reply #91 on:** March 07, 2019, 06:41:26 AM

Pitch changes can also be done in Goldwave, though I can't guarantee it will sound very good. It's best if you guys send me the 'raw' files to work with so I can do some post-editing here.

I've been working all morning on making a workable movie file and editing in some of the auditions that I got back in the day. I'd like to share the following with you for consideration (and my opinion between brackets):

Narrator + mom:
https://vimeo.com/321960534 (This was narrated by The Anonymous Person. I personally think the narrator should have a deeper voice. Me as mom works, though I have to work on my pronunciation

)
Petrie:
https://vimeo.com/321963669 (This is great, do you want to take this role, TAP?)
Ducky:
https://vimeo.com/321962886 (I think StrutEggStealer did a wonderful job, but sadly she is no longer around)
Cera:
https://vimeo.com/76607648 (old upload, so slightly different quality. I think Darkwolf is excellent at Cera, would love to see her cast as such)

The Anonymous Person · **Reply #92 on:** March 07, 2019, 12:04:15 PM

Cool that this project is still going! Kinda thought it'd be abandoned by now with everyone's busy lives and such, but glad to see this is not the case.

@Mumbling, I must've recorded those auditions like five years ago back when I was sorta crap at voice acting (I was 15 at the time), and I've gotten much better since then. Not to mention my voice has become slightly deeper, so I could have a try at the Narrator yet again, perhaps to show how much I've improved at the very least. Regardless, I'm more than willing to take up Petrie.

Mumbling · **Reply #93 on:** March 07, 2019, 12:11:01 PM

Hey TAP! Good to see you post here

'Still going' might be a bit of an exaggeration, but I'd like to revive it best I can. I have the time and energy to make this into something worth watching, given that the rest of the community is willing to jump in and send me their recordings

And yes, you sent me those files in mid 2013, so roughly 5.5 years ago. It'd be cool to see how you've changed/improved! If you have the time and patience to send me some new files, that'd be awesome. Personally I think you did Petrie really well, and you were a bit too hasty for the narrator. But I'd love to hear both

By now I've got a fully workable file so we are no longer limited to the first 2 scenes. Feel free to send in any part you'd like. My email address is still thelionqueen@live.nl for this project.

The Anonymous Person · **Reply #94 on:** March 07, 2019, 12:57:58 PM

Cool! I'll see what I can do then.

Ducky123 · **Reply #95 on:** March 08, 2019, 03:35:08 AM

I think you should do Petrie Tap

Hmm I should try a few characters this weekend. I might be decent as Rooter tbh xD

I should say that voice of Petrie here is beyond osomness.

And I like Ducky's voice too!
You did great job!

Awesome! If I can get some files today I can still do some editing today/tomorrow before I gotta return to work!

Thanks!

DarkWolf91 · **Reply #98 on:** March 11, 2019, 11:03:55 PM

Aw cool, I'd love to do more work for this! Are there any scenes you'd prefer we do first?

Mumbling · **Reply #99 on:** March 12, 2019, 02:04:50 AM

Awesome DW! No preference here, I can do any scene at this point, would just need the recordings. No one else has expressed interest in voicing Cera (and I believe the number of female members here is quite low these days anyway), so if you want to take on the full role, go for it! If you want you can send them to me scene by scene (you've sent me scene 2 and one line from 3 as an audition, those were good so no need to send them again), then I can potentially give some feedback for future scenes and edit stuff in as we go.
