The name is a bit of a mindscrew; cardiod and supercardiod are 2 completely different mic types. Supercardioid are good for micing a large insrument or a moving speaker (as in person who is speaking). Condensers are best for in-studio recording, tho. And whatever you use, it's best to kill all background noise (fans, indoor heating, squeaky chairs, feedback, etc.),but condensers pick up less of that than other mics.

Yay finally i can post ^^

So hey everyone.

I decided im gonna join in on the fun. Gonna recreate my submissions tomorrow when im back at work and can use the professional mic we have there.
(Sometimes it pays of if you work for one of the biggest suppliers for microphones and Headphones ^^)

Alrighty! Just learned about this, and decided to submit my auditions for Fox, Tiger, Mr. Sandwich, and Peanut. I would be interested in Sargent Ralph if someone added him to the castingcall. Please? 0_0

I'm sure that Ralph will end up coming up soon, so you just need to wait.

So, when will Max auditions be?

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Wed Apr 29, 2015 3:29 am

I call dibs on Bruce and Roosevelt when their auditions come up!
My Australian accent is pretty convincing, if I do say so myself.

Wow, I wonder why that would be...

Also, how are we gonna do this? Will we just send in recordings of our voices alone? Or are we going to Skype and act while someone records Skype?

Invisan · Post by **Invisan** » Wed Apr 29, 2015 7:11 am

@Czukay you record your voice yourself while reading the 2/3 Sentences mentioned on CastingCallClub

The Link for the Page you will then upload your auditions to is the following

Czukay · Post by **Czukay** » Wed Apr 29, 2015 7:25 am

I have already submitted my auditions, and I was asking about after the auditions are over.

Invisan · Post by **Invisan** » Wed Apr 29, 2015 7:38 am

Ah k sorry misread it then.

Well i guess you will send your lines in and someone will create a full show then with the lines from each of us.
Depends if we have simple lines after each other or if there are also things like group discussions or mumblings where you had to create one audiotrack out of more lines.

Invisan · Post by **Invisan** » Wed Apr 29, 2015 10:40 am

Reuploaded my Version of Peanut and Fox and also did a take for Mr. Sandwich.

Enjoy if you have any hints or stuff which you would wish to change feel free to tell me.

Post by **D-Rock** » Fri May 01, 2015 9:35 pm

So, me again. Turns out I wasn't able to get a mic where I thought I could borrow one. So, what's a cheap but effective recording microphone? And let me know what everyone means by "cheap"

And yes, I realize this is likely asking for a lot.

Rock Band was all I got. I just used headsets my dad had lying around before I bought my current one for $40.

Blue USB Condensers are $150 on Musician's Friend.

The-J-Man · Post by **The-J-Man** » Mon May 04, 2015 3:15 pm

usually i just go to the nearest music store. those places always have quality recording equipment...and even if they dont, you can get a good suggestion from a professional on what to buy and what not to buy

their Snowball was $40 on B&H when I bought it. looks like it's $45 there now

Post by **D-Rock** » Mon May 04, 2015 6:03 pm

Found this http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Microphones- ... owball+usb

Both Amazon and Blue Microphones have good reviews on it. This a good direction?

Mon May 04, 2015 8:40 pm

that's what I use. it's one of the better USB mics

Post by **D-Rock** » Mon May 04, 2015 9:39 pm

Alright, thanks. I'll be getting that as soon as I can.

Czukay · Post by **Czukay** » Mon May 04, 2015 9:41 pm

I think I'll get it as well. I've been using my built-in mic for things, but I think an actual one would be better.

AuraSight · Post by **AuraSight** » Tue May 05, 2015 6:28 am

I'm not sure if I can afford a 40-50 dollar microphone right now, but I definitely want to get a real mic, as I am totally digging this project and hope to contribute something of quality!

Does anyone know of any quality microphones in the 20-30 dollar range?

Unfortunately, $40 is pretty much the lower limit. The mic I ordered is over $200.

Hmmmm, okay. Seems like the Blue Snowball is the the unanimously voted best budget option?

Pretty much. Blue's a pretty good brand. Even their cheaper models are decent. And $40 is definitely cheap, considering.

Well i created another recording this time for Bino. Hope its any good ^^ Even though i would rather tend to play fox since i can kinda identify myself with him ^^

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed May 06, 2015 7:48 pm

Well then when Fox comes up you will have to audition then.

Invisan · Post by **Invisan** » Thu May 07, 2015 12:50 am

Already did my audition for Fox

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu May 07, 2015 2:34 pm

Well then now you have to wait until his audition comes up then.

SuperStar · Post by **SuperStar** » Fri May 08, 2015 9:00 am

I added my audition for Peanut. I might had a slight sore throat during recording, so I hope it doesn't show

If it does, please let me know, and I'll try to record it again when my throat is all good.

So, have you read the comic any?

Gaasuba · Post by **Gaasuba** » Fri May 08, 2015 10:53 am

Just 2 or 3 pages. Seems cute though~

SuperStar · Post by **SuperStar** » Fri May 08, 2015 10:56 am

It is.
Well, you're gonna be reading a lot more when recording start.

Gaasuba · Post by **Gaasuba** » Fri May 08, 2015 11:16 am
