Guest stars are totally required and welcome, too. Which is good for me, because after listening to my auditions, I'm pretty sure I'm not casting myself as one of our BDHs. I figure we need about 13 voice actors total for the first episode, and Book isn't even in it.

Keep in mind for Ben that he gets drunk a time or two over the course of the series

by the way, how old is ben anyway, and who else do you need, cause I'm not sure if I can do a good drunk kid voice, but maybe...

Ben is in his late teens in 1x16. Although, come to look at me notes, we don't need Ben just yet. We do need Capt. Chien and Lt. Wallace, an unsavory gentleman named Gen. Obun and Rex. Also from Serenity we need Fanty and Mingo, Mr. Universe, Sheydra and the Trading Station Guard. We'll also need the following bit to semi-bit parts:

Flight Helmet Man
Freighter Capt.

WOMAN
Bandanna Man
Long-Haired Man
Military Man #1
Offscreen Reporter
Newsperson

I might be able to pull off Wallace or Chien. I can have a decent military personell speech. It might work. Maybe. Talk to me when you need Ben though, cause that part would be fun.

Cool. Can you record these and send them to me at mvff_voice@yahoo.com? And that goes for anyone who wants to record for something other than our Big Damn Heroes. If you want suggestions, drop me a line, otherwise, just record some lines. All I ask is that they be something other than short, one-sentence lines so I can get a feel for you. I should point out that Chien and Wallace, while playing a big part in the Virtual Series overall, actually have a bit smaller part in our first episode, so these lines are from episode 2x13: The Breathing.

CHIEN
VFF1: Typical bloody Blue Sun red tape. Can’t do a thing without their higher-up’s nod. If they won’t deal with Reynolds, I am more than prepared, and happy to. Get a location trace on that signal.

VFF2: Good. The girl is too much a threat to be allowed to live, but after all this, death is too easy for the good Captain. Kill the girl, but I need Reynolds alive.

Wallace
VFF1: ETA eight minutes, sir. We have just received a full kill order.

VFF2: Far as I can tell, sir… Nothing. He sent an encrypted burst to the base, but it appears he just turned off the alarm.

If this project goes forward every one will have Yancy to thank for it. I gave it up weeks ago. I am the guy who did the actual Machinima (with ChangeStorm creating the Firefly model).

It is a lot of fun to do, but without voices there really is no reason to continue.

I might work on it some more when I get home, I do enjoy it, but without voices it just is boring. :)

I wouldn't mind also doing other short stories besides VFF. It might actually be easier with another shorter story to start off with.

This sounds awesome, and I'd love to do what I can.

I'm sure most people here are capable of doing more than one voice (especially when it comes to background) so should we do a couple so you can see what we're capable of?

Also, about how old is Chien?

absolutely, send in as many as you want.

As for Chien, he is described as being in his early forties.
