This will be the sounding board and meeting place for the vocal end of the project (which is, right now, most of it). We'll schedule rehearsals, set deadlines, and discuss performances and production here.
When rehearsing or recording, you'll want to have to hand:
1. Skype
2. Audacity or a similar recording program
3. Comics to read from
I'll also need everyone's timezone and a rough estimate of when you're available to rehearse. If you sent this information to Casey at any point, I have it, but I'd like any newcomers to please PM me.
Thanks, guys!

Now that we've cast Starrylight as Antimony I'm excited to get going again.  Before I send her off to record, I'd like to hear her read through the first few chapters, and I'd like for as many other cast members as possible to join in. So then, Starrylight, everyone, when would be a good time to meet for an hour or two on Skype? On weekdays I'm in school until just after 3 Eastern Standard Time/8 GMT, but I can generally make any time after that work. |

I'm in GMT +- 0, otherwise known as Ingerland.
I can normally be around from 7.30pm, with the odd random day off in between. I can't guarantee to be free during the day on weekends. I need to get a knew mic first though, my last one got, er, broken.
Lucky I don't have a character til Ch.7, I guess.

I'm in GMT+1 (being a Dutchie and all). I'm very rarely available from Sunday to Thursday, but I will try to keep Friday and Saturday free starting at 20:00 (which is 8:00PM for those who don't do military time  ). Also, I've been meaning to try this out. I don't know how useful it actually is though. It might be helpful for recording if we practice on Skype. On another note, my laptop is starting to become ancient, so I may not be able to record much for a few weeks if it goes into repairs. I hope to get it repaired before we really start recording, but I thought I'd let you people know in advance :x. (Gosh, I feel flakey galore here ._.) |

I'm in Mountain Standard Time (GMT - 7), and Wednesdays are the best for me, since I'm free all day. Other days that would be okay are: Monday and Friday before 4:30 PM MST.
I don't have an actual microphone...I used my iPod to record my audition. To talk on Skype I'll just use my webcam, I guess.

Maybe we should have it on a Friday, since nobody said they couldn't make it then. I guess it's times that are the most complicated. Just a thought...I'm not trying to organize or anything! ;D

I am not going to be offended at anyone stepping on my toes, worry not. XD This is a multi-person project at every level.
That said, I am completely unavailable Friday and probably Saturday. Sunday is my best bet, but I've got school-related work that will probably be happening at our prime meeting time. I apologize; I thought my schedule would be more open this weekend, and apparently I was mistaken.
I can make Sunday evening, though. I'll make it a point to be online from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM U.S. Eastern, which is 12:30 to 1:30 AM GMT. Admittedly not the best time for our European compatriots, but I'm hoping I'll be able to catch you guys at some point next week - certainly no later than next weekend.

Ah, guys, sorry for being a bit out of touch lately, life's been hell. But now I'm moved and settled in and I should have tons of free or adjustable time for this kind of project. Can't wait for us to get started.
I have the first two or even three chapters recorded, but I wanted to try rerecording them in order to maximize the potential for awesomeness.

Oh dear... that is awfully late and I have to be up quite early the next day (think 6AM GMT+1). It's obviously UNpossible for me to attend tonight  . I'll try for next week :/. Sorry to leave you guys without Kat ._.\. |

I actually might be able to make it. Don't worry Aricos, we'll figure something out.

Aricos: No worries! I knew that it'd be a long shot anyway. ^.^ I'm desperately hoping to get together much, much earlier in the day next Sunday if not sooner. Today I mainly just want to hear Starrylight read some more.
Rass, that'd be awesome.

Alright, I got to talk to Starrylight and it's looking good. Next Skype meeting: We're looking at having a cast get-together either Saturday around 1 PM U.S. Eastern/6 PM GMT, or Sunday at the same time. I'd like to have as many people on board as possible so that I can hear Starrylight against some of the other characters, and of course to chat and perhaps get slightly off-topic. Let me know which is better. |

Both days work for me. Sunday is better, but if more people can make Saturday I'll come then.
EDIT: Actually, if it's Saturday it'll have to be like 8:00 AM mountain time. My schedule is being so uncooperative!

Post by Aricos on Oct 4, 2010 15:07:10 GMT
I should be able to do Saturday if it's at 5PM (I think... that's 8AM mountain time right?) or 7PM GMT+1.
But Sunday's in the afternoon / night are going to be difficult from now on due to stuff :/.
(Edited because the : o smiley freaks me out)

I should be able to make 6pm GMT either day, but I will have to disappear for a bit during dinner. The curse of family meal times strikes again.
But first I will have to get a new mic, which I should be able to do on Weds.
I know I don't even have a character til Ch.7 but I ought to get back on the horse, and I want to hear starrylight read some more of Annie's lines than the ones in her audition.

Can't do Saturday, I'm at a fancy dress party. But you don't need me yet anyway, so it doesn't matter too much.
Hope you guys have fun and get lots done.

Gahhh, what is this "getting up early" concept? That sounds like insanity.
Just kidding. I'll be there at 8:00 Starry Standard Time.

If I'm correct, with GMT +8 over here, I should be able to attend at 10PM. Just to hear what's going on.

I can't recall if I have you as a contact on Skype - this goes for anyone, if I don't, mine is miri.grace, so please add me and toss me a message telling me who you are. I'm not going to have very long this morning, as we're apparently painting my sister's room, but I'd like to at least hear Aricos and Annie read Ch. 2. |

Hey, it was fun talking to you guys today! Just wanted to say that (so far) I'm free next Saturday at around 10:00-1:30 Starry Time, and potentially Sunday mornings as well.

I keep missing these things so I'll just send the lines. There really doesn't seem to be that many opportunities for me to do this Skype thing. Sorry, yall.

Edzepp: Don't worry about it too much. I know the time zone thing is a big block. I'll definitely keep you informed of when I need your lines.
I'll be gone for an indeterminate amount of the day next Saturday - morning is definitely out. Sunday early afternoon is still possible. I'll try to let you know more when I know more myself.

Soooo any meetups this weekend? I missed the last one due to too much work, I thought I'd be able to come but had to slave away at a project instead.
