Hi!
One of the most difficult things about the audio play project is that we are going to need the active support of quite a few people. Projects like the singing projects can make do with just three or even less participants. In case of an LBT audio play matters are different. Even very short possible audio plays would probably require at the very least five participants. Seven to eight would be realistic for something slightly more elaborate.
However, people must be really "with it" in order for this project to work out. Just saying the words into a microphone won't do, but one really needs have some acting talent for the whole recording to sound convincing.
As for a recording program, there is
Goldwave a free recording program which has been used for our singing programs. However, as I had to painfully realize once again when today I recorded singing for the "Family" project, many microphones tend to produce a very strong and irritating rustling noise with the potential to ruin a recording and its usefulness for an audio play (a mix of different rustling sounds with the occasional lack of such would sound really strange), so to participate I'm afraid we must make sure to get a microphone which allows for at least very little disturbing background sounds. In some cases this would mean that we have to buy them.
Now with all that ugly stuff being said, I'm sure that the creating of such an audio play can be great fun for all the participants. I suggest that all the participants could do test recordings for every character and we could vote together on who we feel is doing the best job on a specific character.
If this project gets enough enthusiastic participants to be realized I'd be happy to be one of them and willing to take the "toils" to get the fun described above.
Who else is?
