Two of my favourite things to do are reading things out loud, and reading the webcomic Dumbing Of Age, by David Willis.
You see where I’m going with this.
I’ve got it into my head to combine the two - recording my voice and overlaying it over panels from the comic, like those Hiimdaisy adaptations. The thing is, I have neither the talent nor the desire to try and create voices for over sixteen different characters.
So I was wondering if anybody else wanted to join in.
Things You Need To Know If You Wanna Do This But Are Nervous:
- You don’t need to be an actor. I’m not, and even if I were, I’m only doing this for personal amusement and affection for DoA and its characters.
- You don’t need to be from Indiana. Hell, you don’t even have to be from America. I’m Australian, and I’m not even gonna try and hide that, mostly because there’s nothing worse than someone bad at accents trying to fake an accent. (Unless you’re playing Sal, probably)
- You do need a microphone better than a gaming headset. Like, a Rock Band or Guitar Hero microphone at the very least.
So, uh, yeah. If you’re interested, send me a message with your email and the character(s) you’re interested in playing. If enough people are interested, I’ll set up a Youtube account and we can figure out how to make this work.
