The Dunshelm Players: The Techo-Colour Tales: Green

Hmm...would you need a high quality microphone?
-
Hmm...I might be able to find a good microphone. But then again I guess my voice range wouldn't be very good (since I'm still 13).
-
No harm in trying though, if you're interested. Remember, there's no rule with us that you have to replicate the on-screen character, you should just portray her the way you feel is right.
If you have a mic of any kind already, even lo-qual, you can audition by just recording a few of Gwendoline's lines from the series. You can then e-mail the recordings to me and I'll consider them.
Here's a good scene to audition from, from 3:35 in; -
The worst that can happen is I say no. And the best that can happen is you get a credit on your CV that you're an experienced audio actress, and KM fans will be queuing up for your autograph.

Well I found a good microphone so I'll give it a try!
-
Oh gr8! Thanks ^_^

Okay, the first draft of the first vignette has been written, and here's how the cast is shaping up...
Gwendoline.........Amy Davies
Henry III/John.....Jake Collins
Lissard............Ross Thompson
Lord Fear..........Martin Odoni
We still have two roles available. One is Oakley (although as I said above, I can do that one myself if necessary - oi definetttleee have the royt voice ferrrrr ett), and the other is a very brief cameo playing a tree-feller. Again, we can probably get someone to double-up for that one.

Okay, ladies, gentlemen, & Dark_Comet, this week begins the aforementioned series of mini-plays; a continuing run of vignettes going under the collective banner of The Techno-Colour Tales.

Part one, called Green will go live from Tuesday/Wednesday. Here is the confirmed cast; -
Gwendoline.........Amy Davies
Henry III/John.....Jake Collins
Lissard/Tree feller....Ross Thompson
Lord Fear/Oakley.......Martin Odoni
The script of part two, called Grey, is already being drafted. I have a very tentative hope that we might be able to launch it in time for the 25th anniversary, although that is not at all likely.
Casting will begin for it this week though, so if you're interested in getting involved, please speak now or forever hold your piece. (Deliberate typo.) The characters who are confirmed to feature in Grey so far are; -
Treguard (-)
Lord Fear (-)
Majida
Stiletta
Pickle (-)
Greystagg
Lissard (-)
Skarkill (-)
Heggatty
Maldame
Possibly one or two others will be added later (most likely Hordriss), depending on how the script pans out. As you can see, it's quite a long list for a vignette.
(-) means the part is probably already assigned to a player who has performed the same role previously, for continuity reasons. However, no casting is as yet set in stone, as no proper discussions have been held with anybody as yet. Basically, if you're interested in playing any of the above roles, let me know ASAP.

Jinkies! That's a long cast list!

Green is now ready for download at...

There are a few patches of distortion on some of the voice recordings, but by and large it's come out well. Look out in particular for a very promising debut from ye young Shadey one in the role of Gwendoline.
Please post any feedback you might have either in this thread or in the 'Leave a reply' section on the blogpage itself.
Work on the second tale in the series, Grey, is already under way. As mentioned above, please let me know soon if you're interested in taking part.

slips in and places a tissue box in the middle of the room
Trust me, you'll need them

My favourite line in this by far is:
"What, don't your rabbit friends like weddings?"
-
Excellent. I enjoyed listening to this and think it's a great piece of Knightmare homage. Well acted, everyone.
-
Ditto
-
Hmm...looking at the cast list, I wouldn't mind trying Maldame; in my opinion I think her voice is quite easy to do. But I don't want to hold everyone up again with my bloody mic
-
I believe this is what TV tropes insists on defining as a "Wham" episode...
Emotional suckerpunch notwithstanding, an excellent production all round, and I'm digging the blend of the later season's more fantasy settings and characters with the English historical context of the early seqsons and books. Props to all involved, and I'm looing forward to Pickling it up for Grey!

...and I'm looing forward...
Pardon?!
