On behalf of TFCog & Fandubbing in general I thought now would be the time of all places to spread the word regarding this very important topic.
First off I would like to say welcome to the Auditions of the Fan Video of Beast Wars: Dark Glass. Now to the official details.
This will be a Adaptations GJ Production in conjunction with SCP21|Studios.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This video project will be aiming at having group recording sessions using Skype to coordinate. With being recorded with an "ensemble" cast, you'll have to be familiar with Skype. Mind you, Skype will only be there for cast members to hear each other and to interact. You each will be required to be recording on your own, having hit "record" on your software at the same time. That way, there is a high quality recording present on your end, which will be then sent to me so I can deliver these to Gabe for animation. MOST recording sessions will be scheduled around everyone's work in order to allow for group recordings. We could even do scene breakdowns between characters if it would be easier.
EX: Megatron and Primal don't interact, therefore they won't need to record together. However Dinobot and Rattrap would be so they would need to be.
This is not a top level priority but is still a priority video. Odds are the people will be recording lines that will be used in a few years at best. Even though voices are being recorded now, the project will not be done any time soon. It will mostly help in the animation area until it’s eventual completion.

I would like these to be the same or as close as humanly possible to the original character's voices. There are 13 roles below, only one of which is female. If you would like to talk to me before auditioning, you can always get a hold of me for this project via
darkglass@geekcastradio.com or by adding me on Skype with: CyberMegatron

AUDITION LINES:
MAXIMALS -
Optimus Primal:
"Well, that's just Prime."
"Optimus Primal, Maximize!"
(Concerned)"That’s what I thought. When Depth Charge arrived, I thought he was the rescue party."
Rhinox:
"Well that's just dandy!"
"I'm in a BAD mood, understand?"
"So... if the transwarp wave reached Cybertron... Shouldn’t a rescue party have come by now?"
Rattrap:
"Call me paranoid but I don't trust spiders, I don't trust Predacons and I don't trust dames who sneak in and out of classified areas when they think that nobody is watching."
"I'm a rat with wheels. Cool."
"I just found this... it’s an encoded copy of ol’ Dinobutt’s memory tracks."
Cheetor:
"Now that's what I call smooth."
"Nothing beats cat speed and cornering ability!"
"For the last time... I’M NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!"
Silverbolt:
"Stand back, citizen!"
"Although threatening your own comrade is no doubt business as usual in predacon guides of villainy, it is simply... unacceptable behavior... in my book."
"Cheetor, we are not finished with our discussion..."
Depth Charge:
"Blow it out of your exhaust pipe Primal! X is down there..."
"I gotta hand it to you Primal. When you screw up, you do it big time. But thanks for the tip."
(Mellowing down)"In case it slipped your mind... I’m the antisocial one."

"I am alpha an omega, the beginning and the end."
"Excellent Yessss."
"Undoubtedly, Dinobot has encountered trouble... We can’t have that, now, can we? WASPINATOR!"
"Many Cybertronians lost their lives to this... VIRUS. Though useless here on earth, with a few retro-modifications, one can make plans... for the future!"

"For the royalty!"
"Buuurrrrrrrrrnnnn Maxxximaaaallls!"

Rampage:
"Face it fins, you can't win!"
"I regret everything, my sweet."
"I still cannot believe you gave MY spark to that pathetic carbon copy!"
