New Project

And thus, I announce another upcoming project. Alongside my Citizens Mind series, I shall be making a Silent Hill fan-machinima, Silent Hill: Despoiled Heart. I started out making music videos which I liked, then I obviously started my mind series (I'll get round to that later in this blog entry) but I've always wanted to do a proper, narrative machinima project. Ages ago I had a script and a vision for a series that started out called "DAWN" then changed to "Dilucolo" set in the Half Life 2 universe. I however lacked the motivation and proper planning to go through with it. But now, with abit more experience and something better than Windows Movie Maker, I feel I'm ready to crack at it, especially as I've gradually become a Silent Hill fan. This project will run alongside The Citizens Mind so don't worry tiny audience!

But, what I do lack is voice actors however. There aren't many characters as Silent Hill is a series which works best when you only have several well developed characters, Christophe Gans. So I'm now officially taking in auditions. Bellow are listed the types of voice roles available, if you want to audition for one or more of them, send me at least 3 lines in several moods (happiness, surprise, anger, ect). You will only be picked for one role unless I don't get enough actors to fill all the roles. Sent them to me at TheUltimateGentleman@gmail.com. If you're picked I will keep you in my contacts and email you if I need lines. Prepare for long periods of silence from me, my life contains stuff other than filming of course.

You obviously need to have a decent quality, working microphone, a means by which to record your voice and a voice that has actually broken thank you.

Characters:

-Woman, mid 30s to early 40s, considers herself quite elegant and feels she has "refined tastes" (think Blanche from Streetcar Named Desire)
-Young man, early 20s, slight nervous stutter
-Young woman, mid 20s, normal mostly but can get hot tempered, can get quite manic
-Woman, late 20s to early 30s, compassionate and civil person
-NEW ROLE: Male, late teens - early 20's, mainly minor role, preferably with a british accent (as in, any area of the British Isles, this includes gordie, scouse, scottish, ect)

I'm already voicing another character and I'm using my regular accent. I'll try not to discriminate on accent but it would be nonsensicle to have a cast of characters from several continents in a small town in New England.

As for The Citizens Mind, before episode 9 comes round I'm remaking episodes 1-3 as, quite honestly they are awful. But afterwards, the series will continue!

And on that note; me, JaSoR122 (Declans Mind), SwedenSpeedway (Jimmys Mind) and Jala1250 (Mind of a Marine) are going to be holding a Q & A over skype. So ask us stuff at LesserMinds@yahoo.com!

Now if you could close blog entries with music scores, mine would undoubtedly be this:


EDIT - 19/4

As you'll see above, after recent edits to the story one of the characrters has been written out. Apologies to anyone who was planning to audition for the role but over the course of writing in terms of the story the character has been made redundant.

  4. @Wulfie Here ye go:
    -"Why did you have to sneak around like that?! With all those things around! I could've killed you you bastard!"
    -"Okay, you're alive! Sorry I...it's just, it's dark and there are those freaks everywhere. And then I hear you sneaking into the room..."
    -"I-I did spot someone, not sure if it was him though. I overheard something about society and going to get something."
    -"I can't believe you were just gonna let me go out there on my own!"
