:iconpyrotigre: is looking to put together an audiobook version of Through the Eyes of Another Pony, but he cannot do it alone. What kind of help does he need? Voice actors!

Things he is looking for (Note: voices that we're still in desperate need of auditions for will be bolded):
  • Voice actresses who can play the mane 6
  • A voice actor with a deep, maybe kinda scary voice to play Winter Sky (or if you can do a good impression of the guards from Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion) UPDATE: Since we have received so many auditions for the voice of Winter Sky, we will not accept any more auditions to play him after February 10th.
  • Somebody who can voice any of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS VOICE ACTORS, YAY!
  • Somebody who sounds like Steve Blum or some kind of smarmy noir-style detective should sign up to play Storm Wing :iconspikespiegelplz:. That, or if anybody has ever told you you sound like Malcolm Reynolds or Richard Castle :iconmalcolmreynoldsplz:. UPDATE: There is now a deadline for applications to voice Storm Wing. No new applications for him will be accepted after Midnight PST of February 11th. The name of the person who gets his role will be announced on or before February 16th.
  • Somebody who can sound like Princess Luna :icontrollunaplz: (note: whoever voices Luna stands a good chance of voicing the Nightmare as well.)
  • A voice actress for Princess Celestia
  • Somepony willing to play the Great and Powerful Trixie
  • Someone who sounds kinda like :iconstarfireplz: from Teen Titans (good and pitiful, according to Lafter) should try out for Azure Flora's part
  • Here's what Lafter said he thought David should sound like: "The basic idea... Quiet, yet confident.  Superior, yet earnest.  Not condescending." Can anypony work with that?
  • Anybody who wants a lighter load might try out for some minor character or other, like Cookie, Prince Blueblood, Lucky, Silver Heart, or shadow pony #42.
  • And, perhaps most importantly, somepony who sounds like this guy: :iconcardslafter: to voice, well, his gratuitous self-insert character. (NOTE: You don't actually have to sound like Lafter himself. He's allowing us a bit more creative freedom than that.) There should be a couple of recordings of him lying around on the net someplace. I think Pyrotigre has access to one Lafter just made for this very purpose...

Any who wish to apply should contact Pyrotigre at either his email address (eric_ledieu@hotmail.com) or on his youtube channel (Pyrotigre2). If you have some kind of microphone, and you think you sound remotely like what we're looking for, then hit him up!

Note: If you wish to apply for more than one role, send each in a separate email. It makes it easier for Pyrotigre. Thanks!

Addendum to Note: To those of you who have been sending Pyrotigre raw Audacity files: Please export your Audacity files into a format that's meant to be listened to (like MP3, M4A, or OGG), rather than meant to be worked on (i.e. Audacity files). This would make Pyrotigre's life easier, as he wouldn't need to open up Audacity whenever he wanted to listen to one of your auditions. To export into MP3, you'll need to pick up the LAME encoder plugin for Audacity (due to copyright issues, Audacity isn't allowed to encode in MP3 out of the box), but I know that OGG files at least are supported natively. We may wish for you to send in raw, unexported Audacity files at some point in the future (for editing purposes), just not right now.



Allons-Y!
