Hey Tails, I'd be interested in doing voice acting for the series, I'm not sure what voices you'd need but I'd be good for deeper voices such as The Doctor or possibly Mahin(? if he has a deep voice? That's what I always thought). Since you're technically new to the forums I was unable to message you. But I'd be glad to provide a voice or two.

Oh that's awesome! We could do well with another voice actor.

Yeah I know lol, this account is new. Just email me a sample clip of your voice acting at uzi.sanic@gmail.com, and we'll proceed from there :D

I just wanted to post some of my worries and also what could make the project better.

First thing, the actual animation, this actually has me the most worried do to the fact that it seems everyone has put tons of effort into their examples. This has me worried since the skills for animation are very different, when compared to the skills for doing just a piece of art work. First thing to do would be to give everyone their own jobs.
The jobs that would best help this project would be
  • Background Artist
  • Storyboard Artist
  • About 2 Animators who do sketchy animation
  • If possible, get a clean up artist
  • Random note, I would get rid of the text on Quote's hat, as it would make animation harder to get the detail right
Another possibly would be to use flash puppets for the characters, so you don't need to worry about changing styles. The best way to use flash puppets would be like My Little Pony, as the puppets are made out of many parts layered.

Also this is kinda mean, but see if the person who drew on paper can actually animate, as an artist, using a tablet is mainly different as the lines are typically more shaky. If the person can't make good tablet art, i would say to replace them.

Second thing, the voice acting, it seems that their are people being brought on to the project to do voice acting. If possible, you should use voice actors through the whole project. So, I just have a couple of tips for the voice acting, along with how the episodes would be made.
  • Make the storyboards/script, then voice actors, then change the storyboards a bit to fit the voice actors better, then get the background artist, and then the animation
  • Give Quote a voice actor, since it would probably be impossible to make a series with a main character who never speaks, here are some tips, Quote would probably sound like he was in his mid teens, (Cause he is still shorter than Kazuma, and a few pixels smaller then Curly in the updated graphics)
  • The best way to get a voice actor for a mid teens character, would be either get a woman to voice him, who can pull of a teen boy voice, or get a guy with a high pitch voice
  • For getting (good) voice actors, open auditions, with details for what you want the characters to sound like
  • This would also let yoou get voice actors with good microphones, or you could ask someone with a good voice to get a better microphone

Thank you for answering this zxin, what he's said is correct.

We've already given multiple jobs to people in the same way you have said, the art examples are just, well, examples that the artists (not animators) have given. This is because we did not have many animators before this announcement.

We'll decide what the characters are going to look like in the concept/style art (and we have decided to use Pixel's art style), but thanks for the tip!

It could work pretty well if we used puppets, but not only have our animators not really worked in that type of animation, but I think it'll look better if we didn't use puppets. But thanks for the tip :D

About that, I know it's a bit stupid, but the person who drew the paper drawing isn't an artist lol She's actually a script/story writer, but she volunteered to draw it for this announcement. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Hmm, voice actors are our weakest point right now, believe it or not. We're going to need quite a few, and some voice actors might need to take multiple roles.
That's a good idea, we might try that!
Although we haven't finalised Quote's voice (whether he will be mute or not), we thought that instead of making him speak, which a lot of people will be against, we should have Curly speak in his place, or have his expressions very visible, making it easy to see what he's thinking. But if we will need to get him a voice actor, we'll take your suggestion into consideration.
You're right, we should definitely open auditions. However, we'll need volunteers, as we don't have any money to throw away lol
Yeah, the microphone quality is just as important as the voice, so we'll take that into account.

Thanks for the suggestions, GimmickyHipster!

I just Say It because i just want that those people that I mentioned take a Second to think again ir get an idea that they can do a bit more of they said But I'm just saying that For that reason And I'm not forcing them, i just want that they get a better idea of What can they do if they want
Also I have some conversations with TheCyberSleuth And I'm giving her some suggestions but I'm not forcing anybody to do that I'm just giving ideas to other people
Everything that I post here is with a good purpose, not to force anyone.
but im asking if they're even letting you voice act for it. you have good intentions but you're not even thinking about what you're doing. and again sleuth hasn't posted anything on this thread so it just looks like you're forcing them into this

Actually I know that I have to improve my English but also I have never said that sentence in English in all my life, actually in English class I never learnt to say that cause teacher give us general information and not so much about grammar, he just teach us about specific situations about, I don't know, animals, travelling, in another country but I just realized that I have never learnt that.
What I wanted to say is :
"I will use my other opportunity"

I need to learn more about this situations...
I'll be right back.

You could use Google Translate.
