Shakespeare Festival Voice Actor Audtions! DEADLINE EXTENDED

LadySpark · 2015-08-01T20:08:30Z

DEADLINE EXTENDED TILL SEPTEMBER 1st. WE ARE IN NEED OF MALE VOICE ACTORS. In only a month or so, the YWS mod squad will be putting together a new event for YWS... But before that, we need your help! We know there are a bunch of talented YWSers out there, and we need your help putting together two or three mini Shakespeare shows. How it Works: Two or Three mods will be directing mini-radio plays to be done throughout the festival. During these shows, you will be performing various scenes from William's plays, and maybe even read a sonnet or two outloud. Casting for the shows are up to the mod in charge of that certain show. You will rehearse over skype for the month of August into September, preparing for the festival in mid-September (official date TBA). When it's time to perform the show, it will be done as an un-offical YWS radio show. There will be all kinds of fun and games in addition to the shows, so for those of you who aren't into their voice being heard, don't you worry! The Audition Process: -You will need to record yourself through an online recording site reading Puck's monologue from a Midsummer's night dream out loud. (We do this to make sure that you are competent in reading Shakespeare, as it is very difficult. *If you feel that a different monologue from a Shakespeare play would better suit your skills/ or already have a monologue memorized, feel free to send that instead of Puck's monologue*. -Send your audition to @LadySpark as a PM. -Wait to hear back about your audition After you have auditioned and been accepted, you'll be given an opportunity to chose from a list of plays that we're doing scenes from. Once you have selected from that list, we will do our best to place you in the show best fit for you. BUT NO PROMISES. You will also be asked to tell us your time zone and times you are not available/ are available for rehearsals, so that we may schedule the rehearsals to fit everyone's needs. Please understand, we have limited roles to fill. If you are not cast DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED. We appreciate any and all auditions and cannot wait to see the amazing talents we know are just waiting in the wings (metaphorically, of course) on YWS! Deadline for Auditions: September 1st . If you have any suggestion about scenes you'd like to see, or sonnets you'd like to hear, please share below!

*was half asleep when he wrote that*
Sorry, @LadySpark. :p By "fake voice" I meant do we put on a different voice? Like, a character voice? Or do we just read it in our own voices?

@Hattable

It's really a director/actor thing. Some people assume a different voice when they're acting, while others stick to their own voice. If you feel a "fake" voice would best suit your audition, feel free! Your director make like it, or may want you to use your own/or a different "fake" voice entirely! Can't wait to hear your audition :3

Thanks so much!

"The trouble with Borrowing another mind was, you always felt out of place when you got back to your own body, and Granny was the first person ever to read the mind of a building. Now she was feeling big and gritty and full of passages. 'Are you all right?' Granny nodded, and opened her windows. She extended her east and west wings and tried to concentrate on the tiny cup held in her pillars."
