[CLOSED FOR NOW] Power Ponies Radio Show +Daring Do Side Story

[CLOSED FOR NOW] Power Ponies Radio Show +Daring Do Side Story

Project Overview

DEADLINE BUMPED; LOOK AT LATEST UPDATE


When Maretropolis is shrouded by an oppression of nasty ne’erdowells, only one team of super powered equines can stop them!


~BACKGROUND INFO~

I, like many people, have a soft spot for super hero stuff, especially the really old cheesy tv/radio shows we've grown up with (or have been shown by our grand/parents)


If you're a fan of nostaligic staticy AM quality radio shows about spiderman, sat through the overly dramatic live action batman show starring Adam West or catch of glimpse of the Superfriends and was pulled in by its cheesy and simple yet entertaining charm, oh and like talking horses THEN THIS IS THE PROJECT FOR YOU!


There are a few other reasons why I want to do this.  One being I am going to film school to receive a certifacte in editing. Through this project, I will be giving myself a way to practice my practice especailly when I have nothing to edit for class.


Secondly I've been wanting to do SOMETHING online for a while even if it is MLP related.  Especially after I gave up my role as Discord in Bride of Discord.  This way, I can be head of a project, and act in at the same time.


And the other thing is...No brony has done something like this before as far as I can tell.

Especially with the Power Ponies.  And everytime I see something done regarding PP, it's always the Mane 6 as the superheroines and not the heroines themselves.  I loved the IDW 2014 Annual MLP comic and it has been giving me a lot of inspiration for something like this.  And yes I am going by that issue so those one-time supervillains will be reprising their roles in this and using said comic as reference for the Power Ponies themselves.


*UPDATE*

A Daring Do side story has been added that comes at the end of each episode.  Continuity is more apparent in these so all the more for people to listen to these episodes in order, unless they dont want to hear Daring Do (But then again, who doesn't?)

I suggest auditioning for that if you want to be part of our main cast, but aren't demanded of a lot of lines.  Or if you're a dude waiting on future male roles.  Whichever floats your boat.


~PROJECT INFO~

This project will be purely audio only.  No animation, no animatic, JUST ONE PICTURE if posted on Youtube (which I plan to for the time being).


I plan these episodes to not be too long.  They will tend to be around 10 minutes in length.  This first episode may be 15 mins as it is an introduction to ease our audience into what they're going to get.

The Daring Do episodes will be roughly 2-3 minutes long.


If hired, be prepared for loads of puns in the script, especially from Mane-iac.


If everything goes right, I plan to upload these episodes at least once a month.  Once every 2 months if complications arise.  But as I don't have to worry about art or animation being done, that should take a weight off my shoulders.


~BEFORE AUDITIONING~

#1) This warning will be on every episode.  It also explains what kind of voices I'm looking for:


WARNING:

The Power Ponies will sound nothing like the mane six as they are their own characters.  Their personalities will derive more so from IDW's 2014 Annual of My Little Pony.  Only the fan voice actress of Mane-iac will retain as close to her original voice as depicted in Season 4 Episode 6 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic as possible.


#2)  This project is completely G rated, PG at most.  As I have previously stated, this is tribute to those old shows, so it's going to be very family friendly.  i.e. No cursing, no exessive violence, no sexual themes etc.


#3)  That being said, I will not hire anyone below the age of 17 for this project.  I want to work with mature VAs that know what they're doing.  At times, I will need to contact them personally to collaborate and discuss.   If you are below 17 and REALLY want to audition, go ahead, but absolutely no guaretnees.  To enforce this rule, state your age in the recording before saying the first line of any roles you audition.


#3.5)  If I find out somehow you're lying about your said age and are indeed below 17, you'll be disqualifed from auditioning or replaced if casted.


#4) You will need Skype if hired.  Whether or not you have Skype, please state so in your audition (after stating your age) at the begining.   If I want your voice, and you do not have Skype, staying in contact with email is the 2nd best thing you can do.


#5)  If I need you for something important regarding the show, respond ASAP when you come online (email users, check your emails regularly).  If not, I will give warning/notice about replacing you.  (Unless you haven't given any heads up for ONE week, I will replace you.  I really hope that doesn't happen).


#6) Supervillains, Humdrum, extras, and the narrator are already casted.   Extras for episode one have been accounted for, but extras for episode 2 and so on may open up when 2 is in the making.  Narrator is done by yours truly.


~AUDITIONING~

Microphone quality has to be good.  It doesn't have to be the best, just GOOD as I will be dirting the sound to make it sound like it came from that radio era.


Do overly anunciate everything you're going to say as much as you possibly can as the sound quality will be dirtied.


And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.  Remember to be over the top and cheesy.  BUT DO NOT BE OBNOXIOUS (Like season 3 Pinkie Pie).


A little confused?

Examples of what this project will be like, and what I'm looking for in terms of acting:


Batman & Robin radio show episode

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_jQTF6IeNQ


Radio episode of Superman (as Clark Kent) and Batman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qVVCBCf_N8&t=335s


A scene from the Superfriends TV show

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEDsMkD5oyE


TL; DR

No you don't get one.  Read the info.


--------------------- --------------------- --------------------

While the deadline is the 28th of Janurary 2017, I want to start this A S A P.  So if you want to audition, please don't hestiate and don't wait until the last day,

Have fun.  I await your auditions.


P.S. To get a good feel for this, give the comic a read.  It's very well done.  If not, at least watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 4 Episode 6.

Latest Updates

  • Roles Casted, Deadline Bumped

    First off, I would like to congratulate the several few who were casted.  Thank you very much for participating, and I look forward to working with you.  Expect a PM (pretty much right after I'm finished posting this update).

    Now with that said, some auditions did not meet my expectations nor had the appeal I was looking for, I've decided to keep this casting call open for 2 more weeks (Feb 12th 2017).  During this extension, I will be casting on the spot, so I encourage you to take advantage of this time to try out for more parts and/or re-audition for who you didn't get.

    Good luck to the rest of you!

  • For those without CCC accounts...

    Alternatively, if you don't have a CCC account and don't want to make one, email your auditions to [email protected]

    Email subject must be labeled as- PPRS Audition_YourUsername

Cliffhanger

Role assigned to: nebbymod

A stallion who believes he is cursed as nothing seems to end for him.  He is used to his unresolving life and is a little indifferent.  (This character is an OC but is a main character alongside Daring Do.)

(His personality is being indifferent, but do overplay it.)

  • You may be the first pony to actually be excited what will happen next with me.

  • At the end of my day there’s always something that comes up for me.

  • I appreciate the help Ms. Do, but I don’t think this curse can ever be lifted.

Zapp
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: pikamew15

Zapp here is practically the complete opposite of whatever Rainbow Dash will ever be.

She's a little more proper both her words and attitude.  Doesn't mean she won't lose her cool though.

Zapp is a heroine having much discipline in her powers as she does bend the forces of nature  (ie lightning, tornados) to her will.  Also she isn't demeaning to Humdrum unlike Marevelous.  Think Storm from X-men.

(CHEEZIT)

  • (Fighting) Bolts from the heavens, strike down upon our foes!

  • (Taking a moment) We have been decieved Masked Matterhorn; ensared by our own foolishness.

  • (Encouraging Humdrum) Unlike a certain impulsive and quick-tempered comrade, I shall refrain from belitting your actions Humdrum.  A storm may cause destruction, but few drops of rain turns the smallest of sprouts into the strongest of trees.

Mistress Marevelous

Unpaid
cast offsite

A Wonder Woman and Batman type of heroine.  Mistress Marevelous has a rope that she controls with the power of her mind (pretty cool for an earth pony) and throws horseshoes.  (she might have other gadgets added later in the series)

Unlike AJ, she's depicted more as a hothead rather than patient.  A pony who wants to get things done.  Sometimes feels the need to take

initiative instead of wait for orders.  Although she can be demeaning to Humdrum, she's not prideful like Rainbow Dash.  More like Buttercup from PowerPuff girls.

Also, I'm NOT looking for a southern accent.

(SAY CHEESE!)

  • (Fighting) You'll never get away with this Phony Pharoh!  With my lasso I'll wrap your mummy henchcolts even tighter!

  • (Annoyed) All this for a briefcase?  The mayor better give us something good!  Unlike that snowglobe from last time...

  • (Reluctant) Sorry for making fun of your cape Humdrum... Can we go fight now, Matterhorn?

A unicorn who has the powers of Green Lantern.  She as a knowledgeable grasp on technology but doesn't geek out (well not often).  She is a little more lady type than the rest of the team, but don't try to be Rarity too much. I'm defeintely not looking for a sophisticated accent.

(RHYMES WITH PLEASE)

  • (Fighting) Do not worry friends!  I'll summon up a giant scissor to cut those ghastly ropes!

  • (Formulating a plan) It would be be in our best interest not to dive into those raging waters fellow mares...plus I'm wearing my dry clean only outfit...Just give me a moment to generate a submarine!

  • (Geeking out) Well it's so simple!  You just need to cut the blue wire, replace it with this red wire and microphone, attach the plug to the generator, shake it around several times and voila!  We let them steal back this dud laser canon with a listening device!

Dr. Caballeron (Cab-uh-lair-ahn)

cast offsite

Another one of Daring’s adversaries who much rather sees ancient treasure as profit for himself.  He once offered to team up with Daring, but as he only saw money, Daring refused.  Ever since then, he tries to foil Daring Do and steal every treasure for himself.  He also has a band of henchponies that help him out.

Replicate his canon voice from the TV show. (He has a Spanish accent but for some reason that's not an available option in Casting Call Club.)


(I'm almost tempted to play this guy myself.  You better prove to me you can do better.)

  • Oh but I have gotten away with it Ms. Do!  And I will make sure of it with you gone!  *villainous laughter*

  • Search the place, and don’t leave a single stone unturned.

  • You know, if we teamed up back then Daring Do, we could have split the profits 70, 30.

The leader of the power ponies with the ability to shoot numerous beams out of her horn, mainly freeze beams.  Not nerdy like Twilight, but does take charge.  Be prepared to make lots of obvious statements and overly encouraging comments and overly dramatic commands...

Well I guess Twilight is kind of those things.  But try not to think Twilight, think more Superman.

(REMEMBER TO BE CHEESY!)

  • (Fighting) You refuse to surrender?   So be it.  Power Ponies, assemble!

  • (Humbling and Speeching) No need for payment gentlecolts, keeping this city safe is all the payment we need!

  • (Surprised) Oh no!  It's another one of Mane-iac's hair-brained schemes!

Daring Do’s mentor and retired archeologist who once went on adventures like Daring.  An old stallion who is very supportive of Daring and tries to crack some humor into the situation regardless of how punny.

(If you have never heard of this character before, he appears in the actual Daring Do books.)

(I don't know how many more puns I can make about cheese.)

  • Daring, it isn’t safe. *sigh* But when has danger ever stopped you? *chuckles*

  • Equestrian Emerald?  Surely you don’t mean Thee Equestrian Emerald!  How in Celestia’s Kingdom did you get your hooves on it?

  • I remember the first time I encountered a few thieves stealing from ancient tombs.  It was definitely a ‘grave’ experience!  *pause* Right, I’ll get the tea.

In a sense Saddle Rager is kind of like Fluttershy, but I'm not looking for quiet and cute, just softspoken and speaks up when she needs to.

Of course when she transforms she'll get destructive.  I'll distort/lower pitch durring editing including transformation battle cries, so don't worry too much.  But if you'd like to change up your voice naturally, that's fine.

(AUDITION W/ CHEESE!)

  • (Refusing to transfrom) I can't get angry now Marevelous!  There are still civilians in the area!

  • (Reassuring) Don't feel bad girls, we still got back the mayor's briefcase.  I wonder what's in it...?

  • (Transforming)  Oh I'm not angry, I'm...ENRAAAAAAGED! | (Post-transformation.)  Rage smash!  I'll crush you! [Improvise]

(THIS CHEESE BELONGS IN AN AUDITION)

  • So Cabelleron stole from you too huh?  Looks like we have a lot in common.

  • Stop right there Ahuizotl!  That artifact belongs in a museum!

One of Daring’s maniacal arch nemesises who has an army of felines he summons to ward off Daring Do.  Unlike Dr. Caballeron, he’s not in it for the profit.  He is more inclined to snatch certain artifacts in order to gain power; usually through performing evil ancient rituals via an artifact.


Replicate his canon voice from the TV show.  (I'm not exactly sure what type of accent he has, just try to replicate has close as you can.)

(If you can't pull off typical crazy bad guy...)

  • Ah, Daring Do!  How nice of you to fall into my little trap! *Maniacal Laughter*

  • And once I turn the tables on that foolish doctor, I’ll take all the spoils!

  • Only 2 more of the 3 ancient crowns, and I shall be able to summon the most ferocious beast known to ponykind!
