Yehaw I want to help I want to help I want to help!
I could probably do a pretty good Kaylee. I mean I am female and her age and all. I may be able to do River...I think.
So how are auditions working and when? Are we talking posting or emailing some wav/mp3 files somewhere or what?
As far as recording goes, I see you have a studio and all, but I liked that idea of separate files per cast. I have a ton of audio equiptment because we have a studio to record music for our band. (which reminds me, if you need an extra music, I have a band and we have a violin player).
If there's going to be only a few characters per cast, you could work on more than one ep at a time.
This will be fun.

When do you need the first drafts of the scripts by? If I don't have a date, I will never get off my a** to do it. Ah, the perils of procrastination! I'm giving it all me free thoughts.

I emailed DUG.
Ain't heard back from him yet. But I am so ready to see this fly.

this whole idea sounds sooooo cool. and I'm female. but I'm also german. so I couldn't be sure to impersonate any english speaking woman without showing a very false sounding accent.
I'm not sure of how much of an accent but I'm no actor or some such either. never learned anything about speaking and never tried it. I'm not even sure my voice would fit anyone. but that's just because I don't really know how to judge that.
but I'm sure there are native speaking women out there willing to do it. aren't there?
come on - this one is too good to let it go to waste. it is really so close to having actual new EPs. there is terrific fanfic out there and having it played out even on audio only would be great.

Sorry I haven't responded yet. I got the email....
I like the idea of people cutting their lines and emailing them. I was saying I could use my equipment to put it all together and do production. I'd love to do more than one at once if we can, and I love the idea of original music.
As for deadlines on scripts, ASAP! We all wanna do this! Anyone disagree???

Hey we could easily create a character with some foreign accent. Look at Niska. I'd try to create a character just because of your "shiny" enthusiasm.
Oh Yeah, Dug did you check out the R & R fanfic. I put the link up higher in this thread. Understand, lots of us have recording ability, it's just that our equipment may suck like fox. But, I'm sure we could all improvise.

Yeah! I'm all about a character with a German accent too! Maybe a couple! I'm still thinking about what would make for a good script--writer's block, and I haven't even started writing yet.

These are great ideas, tho I haven't seen anything as to how anyone is actually going to do it.
So, for what it's worth, and because I have seen the idea advanced elsewhere: I write fanfic. I have done a teensy amount of voiceover. I have access to hardware and software with which to record and edit.
If folks dig it, I could try recording the first Browncoat Chronicles story (When Firefly Fans Attack: The Search for LifeofWily) as a pilot of sorts.
If folks can't dig it, no harm no foul.

One thing I am noticing looking at the current existing fan fics is that few of them are in a "scripted format" We would have to either request th ok of the authors to alter the format (which i ain't certainly comftorable with, I mean for some folks that's their art) or request permission to do the altering ourselves (which might be even more unsettling). Of course the idea is we like what they wrote so much we want to put it to life. Some of the fanfics are great at setting & narration, though theses have greater tedency to drag in an audio format. In that setting people are looking for characters & voices. Hmmmmmm. How to work around that. Unless, we just write the scripts ourselves. ugh, rock & hard place.
