meet-up Voice actors

Spike

Spike

hey, I recently joined a little group that meets weekly for table reads on the zoom. I'm up, next Sunday, and if anyone wants some voice-acting practice, let me know, either here or PM. It will be around 30 pages, at 7 Pacific, on July 6. Thanks :)

Yea, I thought it was a cool idea, and the group seems pretty cool, so after sitting in on several sessions, I was asked if I had anything ready to be read. I said yes, and am now on the schedule. There's a pool of actors who occasionally, for some reason, get involved, and the other group members usually will pitch in and take parts. But it's up to me to cast the thing, which means composing and sending and responding to emails, includes things like, you know, talking to people--stuff that I've always assumed would be somebody else's job.

Oh well. Comfort zone and all that. So . . . anybody want to be an early 18th century German Prince? Anybody want to be Bach, or Handel, or Telemann? Or maybe second hurdy-gurdy? . . . Anyway :)

A few days later and I could probably have arranged a live backing track with a couple of hundred hurdy-gurdies all playing very slightly out of tune with each other (and maybe some real Germans chatting about their kühe) ... :D

But for now, I'm shadowing your casting experience, trying to shove 20 squarish pegs into 20 round holes (whaddymean 10am is too early ... ? no, you can't be the only person to opt out of all the late night duties, yes you'll get fed, no you can't just turn up and wing it ... .... ..... )

Would be wonderful, and thanks for the offer and the response. I'm imagining you as Johann Sebastian Bach, and maybe Mr. Rambler as... Maria Barbara? (Maybe with a Monty Pythonesque falsetto--"but i don't like schnitzel!" ) --no, as Prince Leopold. Actually, for the thing this Sunday, I still need a narrator, and a sonorous vaguely European voice would be perfect, if any such voice exits.

Seeing as I'm the one with the keys to the castle (if only for a week), Prince Leopold would probably be the more appropriate role! 🫅

Then again, if I get this new dress finished in time, maybe that'd be a vote for Maria ... 🤔
