I'm giving it a serious pondering... Enlisting my daughter as well.
Does it need to synch well, or will you just be cutting it up and splicing it all anyway? Is it easier to work from a recording that is pretty well synched to start or do you just need a few seconds of break between lines?
I'm guessing you'd prefer each character have their own recording?
I've never done anything like this, so I'm guessing. A bit of guidance wouldn't be amiss.
Dunno how good any recording I might make will turn out. I don't have much in the way of recording gear.

Do you know what your sin is Captain?
Aww hell, I'm a big fan of all seven.

Hey, I only got to talk to my stepdad briefly, but he said he could help me out this weekend when he has time off. Still not sure if he'll do any of them himself, but I'm fair certain I can do River and Kaylee, and possibly Zoe; can't get that to sound quite right, but I'm trying.
Anyway, message me your e-mail addy so I can get them sent when they're done, okay?

Hey
My email address is andronicus1986 at hotmail dot com, so feel free to send them through when there done :)
Sync is important, mainly due to the way certain people talk. Its hard to explain. The easiest way to do it is to be watching The Message while your recording so you can see the speed and such.
The sync doesnt have to be totally perfect, BUT I had an email yesterday from someone called californiakaylee and she syncs so close that I had to do next to no editing (leaving me more time to create all the sounds and music from hat sequence - a very meaty task!)
A few seconds break between each lot of lines is the ideal option (if they run into rach other it becomes a nightmare to cut).
Oh and I also need a recording of air. Only a minute. Basically use the same set up and conditions as you've been using when doing you voice, except record nothing except the sound of the room (sounds crazy but it helps me edit - it goes by a number of names such as room tone, ambient sound or buzz track, but one of these silly things will help me balance the different qualities out perfectly)
Hope that helps

Oh, CK is a sweetheart! I haven't seen enough of her around lately. Did she do Kaylee, then? []

Yup kaylee... and river... and inara and zoe :D Syncs like a dream (my mate was extremely impressed).
However, I've started so I'll finish - Barring River, the voices sound fairly similar so a bit of choice would be nice (I've been meaning to email CK since I finished editing - it'll be later today before I get a chance to). If something comes up I wont complain; I'm safe from here on in, now its just making it better :D
