... I don't think my voice is quite right for her. (You've met me and heard my voice, yes?)
Stormsong is repeatedly described in VQ as having a very nice musical voice (not a Sueish one, his voice is actually good) so don't have him singing on screen because nobody we know could possibly be good enough ;)
Assignations: The scripting of the movie so far is nearly done. Therefore, I have a list of characters which will be appearing in said movie. I now ask everyone to look through the list and claim the characters you would like to voice.
Just post on here, and I will keep track. If there are characters left over, I'll appeal for volunters to assign them to. Please be aware, some Agents are not on the list, as we do not yet have permission to put them in the movie. If permission is granted, they will be added in another post.

Challenge: We need to come up with a title for the Movie. All suggestions considered. Once we have several titles, they will be put to the vote.
I give permission for Janus to appear now that he's stable again.
And I would like to claim Captain Dandy or any characters with formal speaking patterns. Email me if a casting choice is made, my address is on the beta page on the wiki.
Too bad I hadn't heard about this sooner~ But as an American female, I'd be happy to voice any generic background Agents (or possibly Sues).
Over half the list of characters now have vocalists. These ones still don't. Please let me know if you're willing to do them. Agents with a * are reserved for their authors until otherwise stated.

...I said I wouldn't try going for any known characters that I could possibly butcher, but... If I can swing July's permission, I may just volunteer to butcher, I mean attempt to voice her. 8D ...'less she has an accent. My fake accents are horrible. o____o
...Er, right. Also, volunteering for background voices should it be required. 8DD
I could do Library if July doesn't mind.
Unfortunatly I don't have time to help out with it. If you wanted to use the Store owner (Leto Haven) you are more than welcome to, just remember that the PPC General Store is staffed by minis. But that is neither here nor there.
Keep up the good work! Wish that I could help.
Leto
I do know that Zach and Sara (and their mini, Mr. Treehorn) come in at some point...at least, they were part of the thread. Not a massively massive part, but a decent chunk. If Sara ended up in the script I'd like to do her and whatever female part no one else wants. *shrug*
And if anyone else has claimed them, take them off them. They're my agents. My domain. Grrrrrrrrr.
I'll also be willing to do any miscellaneous agents and Stus, and any named agents and/or flowers left straggling afterwards.
Another American male here, fairly normal American accent.
Do any agents have particular accents that need to be matched up? I know we need Brit males for Archer and Sabbat, but I'm not sure about others.
If your Agents need a specific accent, let me know. Otherwise, they'll be assigned randomly.
But I can do English (South East, Home Counties, South Coast), Welsh, Irish (Southern), French, and American (North or South).
I hope this will be some use if a specific accent is required!
…Tadkeeta's a Narnian of Telmarine descent. Omicron, well, someone should be good at Dalek voices. Honesah's the only one I added to your list who is major enough to name, and for her accent it's up to you.
Dangit... if you people weren't actually being efficient and getting things done, I could get a microphone and at least do Jenni. As it is, I don't even know where I could get one where I am.
As for the boys, it's just as well if someone else does them. They don't really have accents, but I can tell you how they sound.
Nume is from not-quite-present-day America, possibly New England, but he won't tell me. He's also an adult. He speaks very precisely (no "yer" for your and you're, "wull" for well, and stuff like that), so he sounds a bit stiff and maybe even a little nasal. The pronunciation is the key thing, though.
Ilraen should sound average, even androgynous, and young. As it'll be thought-speak, he won't use contractions such as the ones in this sentence--he'll say every word.
And Jenni should have a warm, middle-ranged female voice. "Yer" and "wull" pronunciation should be avoided, but it's not a big deal.
~Neshomeh, who was counting on people to waffle with this project! ^_~
*applauds*
Out of curiosity, who's signed up for voicing them? Unless you'd rather not reveal that stuff yet.
And, anticipating future awesomeness when it comes to the design portion: Please don't use my drawing on deviantART as a reference for Nume. Go with the written descriptions and even the dolls, because they are better. ^_^; I'm working on a new drawing of Nume, but I'm being very careful with it, so it'll be a while before it's done.
Ilraen could look a little more refined than in my drawing... it's a pretty boring picture. There are enough representations of Jenni around to give people a pretty good idea, though.

Also, Neshomeh, could I put you down to voice Jenni?
I can has microphone! And it was only eight bucks!
It sounded kinda crappy in the speakers when I tested it, but I went and downloaded Audacity, too, so if the quality really is poor I should be able to figure out how to fix it.
~Neshomeh, excited about her new toy. (PPC Christmas Carols this winter? Oh yeah.)
http://starshadowhall.tripod.com/ppc/songbook.html
Hoping to add to it in the future, too. {= )
~Neshomeh
"The Twelve Days of Christmas" PPC style. Might finish it at some point.
It occurs to me that I'm on a huge college campus, which has a huge bookstore that might supply random computer stuff, too. If I can find a relatively-inexpensive microphone, I'll do it. And in that case, you can put me down for someone else who needs a voice, too. I'm fairly flexible as far as range and tone are concerned, and I sing, but accents other than American Midwest are probably best avoided. (I've been told I swallow my words sometimes, but I can make sure not to.)
I'll check it out this weekend, maybe even this afternoon, and let you know ASAP.

Foxglove would be Generic English Girl.
We know about Stormsong's dialect, he's pretty distinctive. English accent. Not sure how to describe how his actual voice would be. Sort of ... make it sound like he's about to start singing quietly even when he isn't.
Skyfire would again be English, but go for slightly more "proper" pronunciation than the Generic English Girl thing - Sky was a vermin horde subcaptain and I'm pretty sure she deliberately used perfect grammar and such to set herself apart from the rank and file whom she wasn't terribly fond of.
(Not sure if he is; he was only conscious for a short time)
He has a standard American accent.
I can do a pretty decent American accent.
that kind of desperately need voicing. We have ONE British male Boarder that I know of, and he's requested that we leave him out of this project unless it's absolutely vital that he steps in. Which is fair enough, because hS does more than enough for the PPC as it is.
Anyway. We have Fynn's two Agents, Archer and Sabbat, both with British accents.
Sabbat's normal accent varies between plain English and very slightly American (mid-west). Archer seems to have a rather cultured, more upper-class voice.
So if you could take them, that would be brilliant- although I am aware that it means you'd be landed with four fairly major roles. If you can't do it, I'll ask around.
I have two free weeks coming up, though my microphone is not of the greatest quality - it's a built-in laptop one. Nevertheless, it should do the job.
I can offer in an Australian Voice, and go as far to turn it into the Australian Drawl that the Crocodile Dundee and Steve Irwin are known for.
I can also offer up Agent Arti, since he'd have been around during the '08 Invasion. I'm sure he would have had great fun that day with the 'Sue Death Bingo.
'Kill a Sue with a Hammer.' Check
'Kill a Sue with a Sword.' Check
'Kill a Sue with another Agent.' *Promptly grabs another Agent and beats the 'Sue over the head with him / her.*
Oh, and I can offer up the ideas of 'Sue Death Bingo' and 'Bleepolate' if you need permission for those. Don't see why you would, but it's there.
C ya!
We could have him as one in a crowd, though. Your offer of contribution is much appreciated.
'cause M&S are permissified. And I can do Shadow, and maybe any random female agents or Sues. My English accent is...well...crap, so forget that.
I have no idea why not. Massive apologies. I will say, however, that the threads we are working from were originally put together by JulyFlame, so I will take this up with her.
On the other hand, your vocals offer is accepted with gratitude. :)
;_;
Ack, sorry.
I'll get that up and to Cassie right quick.
I'm not really sure how I'd go about recording my voice, although there are a couple of options that have occurred to me (such as the microphone on my brother's MP3 player). I can meander vaguely in the directions of several different accents, although if you want a particular region you're probably out of luck, and my Scottish and Pirate tend to merge into one another. I think I'd rather not be in a major role, but I may be able to do a few Random Agents and/or (possibly) 'Stus.
...but I am also an American female voice willing to do any Agents or 'Sues available, once I figure out how to record voice onto my computer. I would love to do a Flower, especially the Sub Rosa, but I know there are already a few who volunteered for that.
It usually has a voice recorder. It's not necessarily the best method, but it'll do if you can't find anything else.
They appeared briefly in the OFUR bit. If Snowspine's not comfortable with using S&S, I could replace them with Naomi and Drake to some extent - modified to fit their characters, but you know what I mean.
If she is happy with it, they'll need to sound English because they're Mossflower-born.
I have no idea how to put my voice on the computer but my Dad does know, so I'll ask him to teach me so I can voice Agent Laburnum. I'm hopeless at doing different voices, so I can only really do one.
I'm more than happy to have Naomi and Drake. Plenty of people offering to do voices, so no worries.
... I don't think my voice is quite right for her. (You've met me and heard my voice, yes?)
Stormsong is repeatedly described in VQ as having a very nice musical voice (not a Sueish one, his voice is actually good) so don't have him singing on screen because nobody we know could possibly be good enough ;)
You have permission to include Bart, Canta Enquëo, Kamkenta Duval, Harlan, Iskillion, Honesah, and all Daleks including Omicron.
the vast majority of these characters have only two or three lines each, at most, so I have put them under Others/Random. This is not meant to be offensive in any way; it just makes keeping track easier when we have over forty Agents who have fairly sizeable roles already.
American female teenager here. I'll take anyone, but since you need to cross names off the list, how about Marsha, unless someone else wants to voice her?
Or, if you want to include Tia and/or Car'rok, I'll voice them.
...'cause there were two? Yeah?
Okay, moving on from the terrible title, I don't have any preferences for speaking parts. Myself, I have an American accent, can do eastern or western, and have a moderately high voice. Also can be very loud. I mean VERY. LOUD. Be happy to do 'Sues, any extra Agents, Flowers, whatever.
Could I volunteer for either the Tiger Lilly or Sub Rosa? As well as Tess and Gerry. I'm not fussed about which of these I get so you decide based on what you need me for. I'm happy for any female roles actually. I can do a decent guy voice as well and so... While I doubt I'll get him... Could I do Captain Dandy? *blushes*
So yeah. Any of those five I'm happy to voice.
...Ryni and Nara, seeing as they're the two of my agents I can voice. I can also do any female extras, if need be.
Hmm, title? "Revenge of thee Marye-Sues!!! (with Tenne Thousand Flowyrs and an Ecxiting Dance Numbere!)" ...Nope, sorry.
Definitely the right sort of title, to my mind. Don't forget the thousand elephants though.
I can also do an American accent, if necessary, and I can do a few different Britsh ones.
My natural accent is standard American and I can do a passable British one.
Hey, where are my agents? I'd like to voice April and Lora, if they appear at all.
Yes, APril and Lors do show up, even if only briefly. You're more than welcome to voice them.
As well as any random females.
I'm happy to be any flower you like, especially the Sub-Rosa, or the Tiger Lilly, I'm happy to voice any agents who need voices (I'm guessing that the owners of most agents would like to voice their own characters, so I'll take whoever is left over if required!).
I can do stupid, breathy, more hair than brains, Sue voices! In a variety of accents.
as well as any Flowers that need voicing. This may not be very helpful, but I don't have any particular preference, plus I have no idea of the nationalities of most Agents so...yeah. I'll also do any random sues and Agents, and...that's it really. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Agent Sedri (Iza as well, but I think she's unconcious the whole time, isn't she? that's why she's not on the list), as well as Random Agents, Random Sues and other characters if you need - I can do a very low voice, for a woman (I sing tenor parts half the time), so I could also do Marsha, if she is who I think she is - that is, the child dinosaur.
As for a title... well, I'll throw up the easy one (in true Harry Potter stule...):
"The Protectors of the Plot Continumn and the 2008 Mary Sue Invasion"
... which is rather long. But I'm not feeling too creative right now.
