Awesome, just made my audition. What type of sound file do you have to save it as? or is it any type? anyways, i hope this case doesnt disappoint (Which i doubt it will)
Any is fine, though a compressed format would be nice just to save on space and download time.
just realised i might have to re-do the voice, i just used my normal voice when i thought i had used a higher pitch. :/
alright, i’ve re-done the voice, and sent both takes. is there anything i should’ve done with the voice clips beside making sure they are in good quality?
Nope.

I know it’s WAAAAAY to early to tell, but could you give an estimant as to when case 2 will be out by the latest. If you can’t, then that’s fine.
We’d really rather not make any time estimates, especially at as early a time as now, so as not to incur any disappointment should we end up not meeting those estimates.
I’ve already done my estimate, which i’d think might be abit accurate, and i’d say it’d be another 2-3 years before this case is finished.
That’s good to know, although I realise that it may not happen quite that soon. Whatever it takes to make the next case as good as (and hopefully even better than) the first case!

Where do I send a voice audition?
Everything you need to know is in the page linked to by “Voice Actors”.
Thanks.
Will voice actors need to edit their own recordings or is that being covered
Aside from requirements to produce good-quality original recordings, no; our audio guys will handle cutting things up and adding effects and so forth.

On May 16 (when you receive all of the VA auditions), what is your recruitment process like?
One small question: In the case of vectoring the sample work, is it ok if I create a couple more with more variation(e.g. different hair styles, different eye styles, etc.)?
I really suck at vectoring 😛
“Failing is hard. Not trying is worse.”
If you want to do more than is necessary, we’ll certainly look at it.
One last thing, does making Twilight sit in the commander’s cupola of an IS-2 tank push the bounds for a fourth sprite?
I like tanks.
“Failing is hard. Not trying is worse.”
Nope, go ahead. 😛

I’d love to make an audition, buy I don’t have a really high voice.
And everybody makes noise here. Like, seriously. I’ll try and get something in before the deadline.
Oh, and what about using this site here: http://vocaroo.com/ to upload audio? Would you guys take that?
Sending in audio files would be preferable, as that would make it much easier for us to compare different auditions when it comes time to do so. If for whatever reason you can’t do that, though, then yeah, that could be OK.
I’m pretty sure you can download the file from the site, but I’ll try and get an actual file.
Hey, if I already audition for a character, is it possibly if I can send another audition for the same character, or does it have to be another one?
I don’t see why not – just include some note saying that it’s more takes for the same audition, so we know what’s going on.
Okay, thanks.
I would like to audition for Spike’s voice. But I’m not sure when to start. I don’t even know where to upload the sound files…
You can just attach them to your email to us.
I’ll need Spike’s lines, too, please, so I, too, could audition for Spike.
Everything you need to know in order to audition can be found here:

Hey! I just sent in an audition just now and I’m so excited about the whole thing, I’m not sure whether I might get accepted or not but I’m so anxious to hear! Is there any time further information as to what’s going on might be released? Or will we have to wait until the deadline? Also, will we still hear back from you if we dont make the cut?
Unfortunately, due to the volume of applications we’re getting, it’s just not feasible for us to contact everyone who sent in an application. 🙁 There isn’t really much to say other than to announce the results, so those will probably be the next public communication regarding recruitment.
I’m looking forward to the next case. This game is awsome! 😀
*awesome
Nice to see you guys recruiting!
I sent an email regarding the audio engineering position a few weeks ago, although I did not received any answer, so I’m unsure if you received my email or not.
Best wishes!
TKVGMusic.
I would really like to do a voice in this project. Maybe as either Spike or a minor male character.
Awesome, sent all what do you need about recruiting for animator position before 4 days .. I have no idea what is going on .. but this is going to be awesome ..
What’s the age requirement?
Also, does it matter what city/town someone lives in?
There isn’t one, and no, it doesn’t matter. All correspondence will be done over the internet.
It might not be the right time or place to say this, but I have a question about one of the character designs in this case, specifically Dim Delite’s. Is that a radio transmitter he’s wearing? Should such a thing exist at the time specified in this case? I ask this under the impression that as far as the show has shown us, the main, if not only, means of communicating over long distances is still via letters. We haven’t even seen any telegraphs.
I’m guessing by the lack of an answer that the answer is something along the lines of, “Yeah, you’re right, we didn’t really think too much about it at the time, but it’s a little late to do anything about it now. We’ve already implemented the radio transmitter in the story and it would hard to edit it out without taking several steps backward in development, which we aren’t willing to do at this point in time. Sorry for the discrepancy, but you’ll just have to overlook it when the case comes out.”
Actually, the radio transmitter has nothing whatsoever to do with the story and was just decoration on the character, and we’d just missed that comment, but, y’know, why have that when instead you can have wild speculation? 😛
So, would it be too much trouble to remove the transmitter from his design?
I’d really love to audition for a role… But I don’t have a good microphone. Too bad though. Oh well I guess, I’m looking forward to Case 2 🙂
Is there a lower age limit for voice actors?
No.
Also, is the 15th the last day you will accept auditions, or will you be accepting them on the 16th as well?
We’ll accept auditions up to and including the 16th.
Yaaa i sent my audition in
Err… This might be a bit late me founding this page just now, but since I am still waiting for that email….
I might as well ask, before sending in my application, just in case.
Will a person with a ‘foreign’ accent, mine is specifically Eastern Asian Accent, be able to do any of these? Even if the person is clear in his words and pronunciation?
I have some experience and believe to be a good voice actor, but I tend to get rejected in the end due to the director usually didn’t have any plans or ideas for a ‘Chineseque’ sounding voice in the radio play they envision. Can you still accept my auditions? Or would you rather me not even try, so that I wouldn’t clutter your email box?
I was late… I’ll try next time.
Looking forward to case two, also searching for a good microphone.
Hey, where do I place my auditions? how should I place it? and *ahem* WHEN WILL THE NEW CASE COME OUT TO THE PUBLIC???!!!
nvm, I just read the other link I’m a bit late ;P
i never made a cutscene but you could try using the form of the guilty shadows at least we get a hint of who they might be
