There is one male voice left, a Stu. If you let me have your email, I'll send it over. It's only a one-line part, but if you're willing to take it I'm willing to send it.
Hello, everyone! Yes, it's me again. Things are beginning to come together a little more now. We have lots more lines in (thank you, everybody who's done them), and we even have a few pictures.
However. There are some people who have not sent in their lines, for whatever reason, and we would appreciate it if they would. These people are Ansela, Platinumyo and Paddlebrains. The latter two are being poked via other means, but if anyone could get a hold of Ansela, 'twould be appreciated. Several vocalists have also dropped out or simply not replied to anything we've said. This has left us with a number of characters which need voicing. You know what this means... yes, we need more volunteers to take on lines. The characters in need of voicing are:
Medical Sue #2
Cafeteria Agent #1
Sub Rosa
Medical Sue #1
Daleks
DoF Stu
DoF Sue
Jill
Medical!Sue #1
Sue from Scene 37
Tomb Agent #1
Tomb Agent #2
Vixen!Sues
Of these, only Jill and the Sub Rosa have more than two lines. If anyone else feels like taking on a few lines, please offer. I'm fairly certain we can alter the voices in some form or another, if you're concerned about them all sounding same-y.
While on the topic, if anyone's got thirty seconds or so could they please record themselves screaming or shouting in some form or another? Trojie would like background noise for the battle scenes. Screams, battle cries, howls of agony or triumph, that kind of thing.
On a different topic, we'd like to request some pictures. Nothing elaborate, unless you want to make it so, but could everyone please submit a picture of their Agents in some form or another? The Tektek avatars are only useful in so many ways. If you're bothered about your lack of artistic skills, don't be; mine suck, but I still managed to cobble something together.
Anybody who feels like a bit of a challenge can have a go at designing our title screen, and perhaps some bits of scenery too. Email me privately and I'll give you the details.
And finally, a vote. We have two options available for the name of the production company. PPC Productions, and Urplefilms LTD. Please vote on whichever one you like best.
Thank you all very, very much for your continued support, and we hope to get this thing finished one day.
I can Suify my Redwall alter-ego easily, and scream very well. Just tell me how to record it! Is there an online program? My mp3player has a recording function, so I could use that. Ask and ye shall receive pie.
'Cause my housemate's back off holiday now, and I'm sure she could be persuaded to record a couple of lines.
Pictures of Rouge and his partner Hamelt can be found here: http://i126 (dot) photobucket (dot) com/albums/p94/doctorphoenix/Rouge_page.jpg Hamelt's the blond in the photo.
I'll have some pics of April and Lora up later.
I can take another voice or two. I can also send over some screams.
I'd be glad to do more mini-parts (but not the Dalek, and I've already done a Sue - you pick which), and I can drag my sister in to help with recording battle backgrounds. Will mail them over to Trojie later today, and if you want to send me additional parts, please do so. Maybe I can get my sister to do some of them, too.

My sister says she'd be delighted to help out, and she's pretty good with accents, so if you want to send over more than one small part for her, please do. And the screaming you hear in the battle-background recordings may resemble sibling rivalry. ;p
is Jill. I'll email that over to you. It's not a very big part, but it's a nice lively one. And I'll bet there was some sibling rivalry during the Invasion. :)
Should get it back to you by tomorrow, barring emergencies.
The DoF Stu, Jill, and the Vixen!Sues. If anyone wants to do the Vixen!Sues, it's only a matter of going, "POOKY!" very loudly, and we can cut the various versions together. If you want to do that, just send them in, don't worry about volunteering on here just to shout one word.
Jill is the only majorish character left who's unassigned, and she only has about six lines altogether. Anyone want to take her on?
Thank you, everyone, for the progress so far!
I can squeak in a suitable manner. I'll just have to wait till my parents are out of the way so they don't ask why I'm yelling "POOKY!" into the microphone.
Tadkeeta is pictured here. No pic for Eclectica, I'm afraid. Her description is as follows:
Agent Eclectica
AKA: Eccentrica!Sue (never called that to her face)
Gender: Female
Hair: Blond with red highlights. Shoulder-length
Eyes: Brown
Skin: Light
Other: She's an Eccentrica Gallumbits ripoff.
Outfit: A sleeveless midriff-baring top, a miniskirt.
Native Continuum: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Tawaki was incapacitated at the time. For Omicron, refer to The Evil of the Daleks; he was a rank-and-file Dalek before his humanization. Draw Kamkenta however you wish.
Mimi's Mary Sue Dolls has closed down, but Honesah's hair and mane are horizontally striped, blue and yellow. Her wings are feathered, like a pegasus'. I forget what color her hooves and horn were. And in spite of being called a Pegacorn, she is humanoid (that's how she was able to get Legolas' affections in the fic and Mkellin's in Tinco Division)
Hey, the movie! I remember that! I'd be willing to volenteer for more 'Sues or agents, I might even be able to do Daleks if I had to (though the idea about using clips is better, pretty sure the BBC has some for free). Since my agents weren't in this, I don't need pictures (yay). Um...my vote is for Urplefilms LTD. It's funner to say.

Hopefully whoever gets the job of animating this can draw angry faces better than I can.
I'll do a Sue voice or two if you send me a piece of script. I can only keep up a fake voice for one sentence at a time, so send me some which only have one line, if you possibly could.
I'll pass the pictures on, and I'll find you a couple of one-liner Sues. :)
... though they're not in colour. Might have to email Kit about that.
*glomps Sub Rosa's part* ... I've always liked her. >.>
I can do some random Sues, too. I'm pretty sure I can manage to make them not sound like me--or, more to the point, like Jenni or the Sub Rosa.
I has pictures, oh my yes.
Jenni, Nume, and Ilraen: Ten Portraits. This is probably the best reference for face shape and colors.
Jenni: Whine, Couch close-up, Genderbender, Jenni and Erik, Pensive, Portrait. ... She's been around for a while. >.>
Nume: bad drawing and better sketch.
Ilraen: just this one.
Enjoy!
Oh, by the way, any luck with the crazy multi-lingual Scottish guy? I didn't forget about him, but I didn't hear anything after my inquiry about pronunciation.
~Neshomeh, artistic.
The Sub Rosa's all yours. I'll cut you together a little script with her and a couple of the Sues and email it over.
Thank you for the pictures, too. And as for Lucien, Trojie will be talking to Lee about him within the next few days, so please hang fire for just a little longer on his account.
Ya, me again. :P Ansela was just replying to a thread of mine yesterday, but I don't have any other way of contacting her so I hope she drops in. My Dalek impression is shit, sadly, so I won't volunteer for them unless nobody else does. If Sub Rosa was a guy I'd try for her, too, and I can't do a female voice so the Sues are out too. However, I will (probably foolishly) volunteer for the Tomb Agents and DoF Stu, and maybe the Cafeteria Agent if nobody else volunteers. Once I'm free for a bit, preferably with nobody else in the house, the battle sounds recording will be done easily, especially since with Tirsaer's lines I can meld his right into the rest of the lines. If I had any artistic ability/software I'd help with the title, sorry. My vote is for Urplefilms LTD, by the way. Dunno why, just sounds more "official" or something.
As I recall, you've already taken on about ten roles already, so let's wait till you've managed those first, eh? Once they're done, we'll see about letting you have more. :P
True, good point, I just wanted to help. And out of those eight I only have like three left to do anyway. With the Daleks, though, couldn't you use Dalek sound clips from the actual series?
I'll look around and see if we can get hold of anything.
*grin* Your desire to help is muchly appreciated, I think my main concern is that we're wearing out your vocal cords. :)
So far the difficulty has been more in finding good voices than any strain to my voice. Only time I really strained my vocal chords so far was with Rosedale, because of the accent I gave him, and that was more "my voice was stuck like that for three days and my throat was sore" than wearing them out. Thanks for your concern though. And yeah, I think using actual Dalek soundclips, considering the BBC has some for free, would be a better idea than relying on a voice actor's best Dalek impression. I mean, really, only the Daleks sound Dalek-y enough. :P
Just wanted to expand on something. If there are any bit Stus or Agents available other than the ones listed (since people like Laburnum have asked you to look for other one line Sues or other such characters), I could also try those. It's mostly up to your discretion though, and if you can't find any or there just aren't any, I'm fine with that.
There is one male voice left, a Stu. If you let me have your email, I'll send it over. It's only a one-line part, but if you're willing to take it I'm willing to send it.
Thanks, I'll take it. kgarrett@operamail.com.
