Re: Reading/narration collaboration
I wouldn't say Zarban "sounds old." It's like saying George Hamilton looks old—distinguished, the word is distinguished.

Excellent! You're bottom end is a little heavy, but the narration was top notch.
Did you want to add your name to the roster?

Re: Reading/narration collaboration
Anyone up for trying a short title treatment for "Dust"? I'm thinking, well, dust. I picture the setting as 1930s dustbowl America. Wheat, wind, clouds, dust, rusty windmills, dead cars, old weathered wood, etc. The title could be dust blowing past some wheat, or dust being kicked up off the dry ground maybe.
I tend to pick a background (static or animated) and center the title in the frame. The title is usually animated separately. Most of the time, I just fade it in since I possess zero After Effects abilities. The videos are 720p and I believe just the standard 16:9 widescreen format. Not sure what the finished length will be... could be close to 30 mins in total. If the background is animated, maybe something that loops easily?
As always, you'll be credited in the video and in the description.
If no one's interested, that's fine. I'm happy enough to do it.

Oh hell yeah. I'm loving these. Nice voice there. When we do The Matrix radio play, I'm nominating you for Agent Smith.

Re: Reading/narration collaboration
FYI (in case you care about a production log updates) here's where we're at for "Dust":
- Added rough musical intro
- Re-recorded section 1 (of 4) vocals
- Tested out Tomahawk and Zarban vocals
- Rough edit of section 1 complete
- Section 1 sound effects roughed in
- Recorded section 2 vocals
- Excerpt 1 (feat Tomahawk) posted: http://snd.sc/19nIYCo
- Excerpt 1 (feat Zarban) posted: http://snd.sc/15qp0Ti
Still have a ways to go, but it feels like progress is going at a nice steady pace. My goal is to have section 3 vocals recorded tonight. Stretch goal is to either begin rough edit of section 2 or plow through and finish vocals for section 4.

Re: Reading/narration collaboration
And this is why we collaborate. Holy. Shit. Teague. Way, WAY beyond my expectations. You completely nailed the tone I was going for. Thank you so much! 
Can I make a request? Can I get the background and title isolated into separate files? That way I can keep the title displaying over the entire story (which'll be some 30 odd minutes probably) and can queue when the fade in/fade out events happen at the beginning and end.
Is that okay? Other than that, this is absolutely perfect. The last thing I want to be is a pain in the ass, so let me know if I'm overstepping at all.
Also, how would you like to be credited? I'll use your name in the video credits, but I can do something a bit more in the video description. Do you want me to link to your YouTube channel and/or is there another website you'd like me to link to?
I have the biggest shit eating grin on my face right now

Re: Reading/narration collaboration
Awesome. Thanks so much, Teague. I've got plenty of editing and mixing to do, so whenever you're able to is fine by me.
Also, production update:
- section 3 & 4 vocals recorded
- section 3 & 4 rough edit complete
- just got full blessing from the author (it was public domain anyways, but I thought he should know) and he intends to showcase the final video on his blog
What's left is the sound effects, any additional musical cues, mixing and mastering. It'll be several days for all of that to be complete. It's a 25 minute story, so there's lots of work ahead.
The vibe I'm getting from everyone is they're on board with this collaboration idea and would like it to keep going.
I think the general consensus is it would be fun to have more characters for the next project. This first project is limited character-wise, but it for me it was about testing the waters and seeing if people were game. It's clear to me we have an exceeding amount of talent available.
What are your thoughts? Do you want to keep this going? If so, what should we do next? Do you want to try a radio play? Does anyone know of any public domain stories with multiple characters?

I'd love to do a radio play. Preferably something a bit more upbeat.

I'd be happy to write one, if everyone's cool with that. First dibs on self-casting, though.
How long are we thinking?

I'm cool with it, I've got my own thing I've been talking to Aural about writing for this, but it'll be a bit before I get it finished.

Definitely cool with that. Maybe like a 10-15 minute thing? How long were the old serials? I'm thinking maybe 5-6 characters? Maybe more?

Just did an audit of the 25 min file.
Only about 86 sound effect cues to go.
