Next idea for a vid:

Supernatural, boys on the road, items of faith, and Billy Idol's "Plastic Jesus."

But before I go vidding I need to figure out how to record stuff on this computer, and unpack. >.>

ETA: HaHAH, I have figured out Audacity! Zombie Radio auditions, here I come!

I know most of the people on my f-list who are involved with Milliways will have already heard about Zombie Radio, but some of you, gasp, are not involved with Milliways yet might have an interest. (raininglight7, I'm looking at you, radio-boi.)

The Zombie Radio Project is a radio play/podcast produced by wickedtrue. From the FAQ:

The Zombie Radio Project is an original radio drama based on the premise that a zombie apocalypse has happened, and now those not necessarily prepared for survival must do exactly that. This is a drama and character study, not a zombie hunter adventure.

There are 3 acts in the play, each one expanding focus from surviving in the domestic United States to the ramifications of total world government collapse. This is an international and multi-ethnic project with 40 different characters from around the world. There are Cold War vs. New Globalization politics, spy networks, international conspiracies, and the new question in our society ‘what do you do without the internet?’.

Massively cool from an acting, writing, and technical point of view, amirite? I've had the pleasure of seeing some of the script and concept develop, and seriously -- this is gonna be good.

Involvement isn't limited to voice acting, either! There are opportunities for sound designers, graphic designers, composers, publicists, and writers. Surf through the website; it won't take you too long, and it'll give you a much better idea of what's going on than my ramblings.



One of these days, I'll come to terms with the fact that being fascinated by zombies may actually be a decent method of coping with an utter terror of them, rather than just another example of my brain hating me. I probably still won't see 28 Days Later when that day comes, though.

ETA2: Further haHAH! I am unpacked and my room is clean and much more pleasant to be in. Opening the shades helped too. Funny how that works, huh? >.>

I actually hadn't heard of this, and it looks super awesome. I'm gonna have to spend some time looking through this more...

[adiva_calandia]

Yes! It is UBERCOOL. *encourages*

[wickedtrue.livejournal.com]

:D!!

I'm so glad you like it! And thank you so much for pimping it!

And it's nice to actually talk to you! I'm Heather, the producer. We really hope to hear from you soon!

*grin* Having actually read the parts of the script that're up now, I like it even more. I'm going to have to hunt around for a microphone to borrow.

[kornopolous.livejournal.com]

OOH, are there any parts for zombies???

[adiva_calandia]

I believe submission of zombie groans is encouraged, yes! Look over the applications and auditions and all -- I think that'd probably fit under SFX/Foley.

[kornopolous.livejournal.com]

I could give a soulless zombie moan..... yeah!!! cool

[adiva_calandia]

Might want to provide a selection, lest you become the Wilhelm Scream of the project.

[kornopolous.livejournal.com]

and what is wrong with aiming for becoming an iconic staple????

[kornopolous.livejournal.com]

Silly question, but I have to ask you since no where on the zombie radio site do they inform where they are located....

[adiva_calandia]

Umm, mostly a series of tubes, I think. Do you need a physical location? I can ask Feather next time I see her, if so.

Or do you mean where the characters themselves are located?

[kornopolous.livejournal.com]

say if someone were to submit as a performer, is there a physical location to record? or is it all done at the magic of your own home recording system?

[adiva_calandia]

Aha! Nope, it's from the magic of your own computer.

[kornopolous.livejournal.com]

oh dear, (rushes to find upgrades)

[wickedtrue.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. No, no physical location! It's all done only through your computer. Try Audacity. It's a very simple, low processor demanding recording program.

Hi! I'm Heather, the writer and producer! :D I'm so glad you're interested and hope to hear from you soon!

[wickedtrue.livejournal.com]

MWAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAH, MY PLANS FOR WORLD DOMINATIONS ARE ALMOST--

I mean, what? :D

THANK YOU, SWEETIE. You BEST be auditioning for me!

Oh dear, lots of questions. I hope you don't mind me filling your inbox with answers.

[adiva_calandia]

I am recording pieces! And pulling out my dialect book and practicing my Hispanic accent. >.>

Not at all! Go ahead and spam.

Heather, very groovy to hear
Zombies must be in my life apparently. Just a month ago, I overheard some kids talking about how they would survive a zombie infestation here in Seattle. it was a 20 minute bus ride, so the survival plan became so involved, I just had to chime in.... Sounds like fun to write for and give a zombie moaan
