Ministry of Silly Talks
Project Overview
Every applicant to the ministry must be silly. If this is you, feel free to milly about.
Specifically this is an outlet for actors who want to read with other actors and have a decent time doing it in a format podcast environment. We'll gather and read from different scripts in different voices and other acting challenges.
These sessions will be recorded and then will be edited on posted on YouTube for fun.
I do want people with range for these sessions, so the more voices, impressions or accents you have under your belt the better, to be able to act in those voices is a big plus as well.
What you will be doing if cast;
- Expressing yourself through cartoon voices, silly accents or dialects and honing your voice through talking out loud. This is your pledge to the ministry.
-To act the best you can in the silliest manner possible. Earnestness through erringness.
-To do impressions of cartoon voices and build up a repertoire of voices that you can summon on a whim.
-Have fun in a no-drama supportive group of like minded people who want to get away from the more than occasionally absolute bullshit industry of acting.
Voice Actor
Every talker must be able to read out loud. So it is, and so it goes.
Line 1; Introduce yourself, then read. Just be natural, your own speaking voice unencumbered by modulation.
Line 2; Be as silly or as serious as you desire, do as many takes as you want and using as many of the words as your want.
Line 3; A simple nursery rhyme line, do this line as many times you desire, each time a different voice. It can be a known character, your own character, an accent, or gibberish.
- english
- male adult
- female adult
- all accents
- amateur voice acting
[Introduce yourself in whatever manner you see fit] - [Then;] "As long as there is injustice, whenever a Targathian baby cries out, wherever a distress signal sounds among the stars... We'll be there. This fine ship, and this fine crew... Never give up! Never surrender!"
I’ve always said, if a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing badly at least once, if only to establish a baseline. People forget that. They see a man fall down a flight of stairs and they laugh, but let that same man fall down the same flight of stairs twice, and suddenly everyone’s concerned about his decision-making.
(You can do any nursery rhyme but here's one;) Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey. Along came a spider, who sat down beside her, and frightened Miss Muffet away.
Voice Actor
The ministry needs professional complainers who aren't afraid to make silly of the serious subjects.
You're aware of the saying. "Can't complain."
If you've ever said that, you need not apply.
Complain about voice acting.
Complain about politics.
Complain about a recent happening.
