Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

Re: [CASTING CALL] The Haunted Head Boutique

Argggg, haven't received any of ye lines yet. Arggggggg!

Re: [CASTING CALL] The Haunted Head Boutique

I'll send some test lines soon...are all these characters male?

Re: [CASTING CALL] The Haunted Head Boutique

Alright, I sent some auditions!

Re: [CASTING CALL] The Haunted Head Boutique

Thanks to everybody for auditioning for the part of Derek though I think JonnDthunDer would be the best for the part. Feel free to audition for other characters!

Yeah, I forgot to do it yesterday.
You know what, I'll do it right now so I don't forget again.

EDIT: Sent.
Actually, it's a good thing I forgot because I listened to the line I recorded yesterday, and I didn't think it was nasally enough. I rerecorded the line in a nasallier voice and sent it.

EDIT again: Apparently it didn't go through; I got an E-mail saying so.
I'll try again.

EDIT yet again: It worked now!
I just don't know what went wrong the first time.

Re: [CASTING CALL] The Haunted Head Boutique

All right, minifig051, I didn't receive any attachments on your e-mail but looking back for previous voice work you've done for me, you get the part of Nigel. Also, jediknight1997 got the part of Roy.

Re: [CASTING CALL] The Haunted Head Boutique

Arg, all the roles for younger people have been taken. Guess I'll be sending an audition for the old guy.

*facedesk*

Do you want to hear the test line anyway? I could send it to you if you want.
(Unless the audio file was what caused my first E-mail not to send, and forgetting it in the second E-mail allowed it to go through. Or, I did put it in and it just got dropped.)

Re: [CASTING CALL] The Haunted Head Boutique

All right, since scripting is going slowly due to to school, I've sent out the scripting I've done so far to the confirmed voice actors so I can film the first scene or so (I'm really anxious to start filming).

Also, new characters being added.

Re: [CASTING CALL] The Haunted Head Boutique

I will be the ghost if i have time.

Re: [CASTING CALL] The Haunted Head Boutique

Added the Police Man.

Re: [CASTING CALL] The Haunted Head Boutique

Sending line right now.

Hm, the mic you used in the test line is really static-y. Is there anyway you could improve the quality or use a different mic?

Re: [CASTING CALL] The Haunted Head Boutique

Was my audio quality/format fine?
