| The Pirate King |
Were you going to have a "funniest"? | ||||
| PappyCat |
Other sex solo? | ||||
| The Pirate King |
A recording of a performer singing a song written for the opposite sex, ie myself recording "I Dreamed a Dream", or Fantine recording "Bring Him Home". |
||||
| Fantine |
I figured that there would be enough room for funny-ness in either the actor/actress impression or the other sex categories, so I left it out. |
||||
| Angel-of-Music* |
is there a trio category, because a couple of the songs fit that 
|
||||
| actor |
Yeah, me, Aimee and Angel were thinking of doing one of the trio's. Is that allowed? | ||||
| Fantine |
If you guys send me some, I can always add it to the categories. | ||||
| Aimee |
fab, thanks.
|
||||
| happyguava |
If anyone wants to be in a duo/trio/whatever with me, please PM!!
Sorry, continue, please... |
||||
| Fantine |
If someone wants to do the Finale I'm so there! 
|
||||
| Aimee |
I'm having problems on my new mac working out how to record.... grrrrr! 
|
||||
| Quique |
^ I just sent you a lot of assistance. None of it helped?
Maybe you could record it on your P.C. while you ease into your Mac? It CAN be done. It just takes time to get comfortable with all the changes. |
||||
| kozafluitmusique |
I presume it's going to be a capella or are backing tracks allowed? | ||||
| Fantine |
Backing tracks are preferred, actually.
It isn't an audition, people can do whatever they like. |
||||
| happyguava |
*raises hand* |
||||
| music is my life!!! |
*raises both hands* | ||||
| Fantine |
Haha lol, okay...
But we have no backing 
|
||||
| kitty17794 |
I have "Finale" backing if you want it.
|
||||
| kozafluitmusique |
Oh I would love to do the Finale...but I don't think my singing voice is strong enough compared to everyone else's. | ||||
| Fantine |
Yes please! Well we can't do it with more than three females anyway, unless a girl wants to play a guy
|
||||
| Fantine |
Oooh I have it, thank you!
I just came up with a rather nice idea... Shall we make the finale into a 'girls only'? I think we might have trouble finding a good Valjean and Marius anyway. |
||||
| Monsieur D'Arque |
I remember when I spearheaded one of these contests- it had a fairly good turnout, if I remember. Maybe I'll actually participate this time, but give me a few days to choose my selection. | ||||
| actor |
I would do it. |
||||
| Monsieur D'Arque |
Wait- one question. Are we going to let Lea Salonga participate? | ||||
| kozafluitmusique |
wait what? |
||||
| kitty17794 |
Er...I'm not sure Lea would.  She's got a fairly busy schedule, you know. Plus, she'd beat us all.
|
||||
| kozafluitmusique |
Is Lea even on here? |
||||
| Monsieur D'Arque |
Rumour has it she is... | ||||
| kitty17794 |
Yes, she is...check out the Revival Cast Changes thread. It's no rumor.
|
||||
| EponineMNFF |
Haha I would be so amused if Lea participated.
Maybe we should have a rule that you can't have been in Les Mis professionally? Just in case
|
||||
| happyguava |
There's one down. Who's playing which role in Finale? (I am happy with Fantine, Eponine or Cosette. Not sure if I could play a man, could be interesting!) |
||||
| Fantine |
I highly doubt that Lea would want to join in. But if she wants to, why not? It is for FUN. This so called "contest" isn't meant to get you into auditions or whatever. I would be very honored if she'd want to join. But as I said, I doubt that she will.
Actor, that's fine. Do you guys all have good mics and all? Since it's a harmony and all, we can't have someone cracking their way through it
I don't care which part I'm going to sing, I'll settle for anything. |
||||
| actor |
Yeah, my mic is really good.
So you just want me to sing Valjean's bits in the finale and send it to you? Do you have a backing? |
||||
| Fantine |
PMed you.
|
||||
| Tj@themusicals |
I'd like to be Valjean please
xx |
||||
| happyguava |
Okay so TJ and Actor are our guys. Am I right? My mic is good, I also have software where I can mix it, make us sound good etc. Who am I? *yes it was a quote*. But really, who do you want to be, Fantine? | ||||
| Fantine |
I have a really nice program for mixing etc. too, but if you'd like to do that it's fine
I'd like to sing Fantine... If that's okay? Otherwise I'll do Cosette.
|
||||
| happyguava |
Fantine as Fantine. Logical. Oh and you can use your nice program because knowing me I will just procrastinate and not do it and make excuses. So yeah, be my guest!!
I am very happy with Eponine or Cosette. Someone pick. Haha. Yay Finale
Edit: Forgot to ask - anyone want to sing ALFOR with me? PM please!! Thanks. |
||||
| EponineJavert |
Of course I'd love to sing Eponine or Cosette, but seeing how everybody else wants to play them...
And even though I'm a girl, I sent you a PM happyguava 
|
||||
| musical4eva |
Are acapella recordings allowed? | ||||
| Fantine |
Of course!
It's for fun, so you can record it with a super backing, crappy backing or A Capella if you want to. (Or do all three for all I care).
|
||||
| eponinelover |
If anyone wants to do AHFOL with me, please PM! | ||||
| bwaydisaster |
^haha if anyone will also do alfor with me, I'd love them forever
update I would perfer fantine's death though
|
||||
| Monsieur D'Arque |
I'm going to do One Day More. All the parts. | ||||
| EponineMNFF |
If you pull that off, you'll be one of my heroes. |
||||
| Monsieur D'Arque |
I started laying the vocal tracks last night- I'll finish the song today. | ||||
| Fantine |
Fun! | ||||
| music is my life!!! |
if i can get the recording equipment, i could do ALFOR (eponine's part) | ||||
| The Pirate King |
So is tomorrow the deadline still?
I haven't done anything yet... 
|
||||
| broadwaybelle22 |
^Oops...I forgot to record too....... | ||||
| Monsieur D'Arque |
I've only got to lay Thenardier and Ensemble vocals now- Thenardier last, because, due to my penchant to sing him an octave up, I tend to wear my voice out on his solo. Especially since in the Student Edition vocal book, it's him and not Enjolras who sings the "One Day to a new beginning, every man will be a king, there's a new world for the winning, do you hear the people sing!" All of which, an octave up, skirts high Cs and Ds. It'll be done by tonight or tomorrow morning, and linked to. | ||||
| happyguava |
I'm nowhere near finished. Gah! | ||||
| kozafluitmusique |
GAH I forgot about this due to me moving! 
Not like i would do well though. |
||||
| Monsieur D'Arque |
DONE!

||||
| actor |
Is today the closing date? When will they be posted? | ||||
| Fantine |
It will be delayed a few more days, maybe even three weeks. I am going on holiday on the 15th and will be fairly busy packing/working etc. so I am not sure if I'll be able to upload everything before then. | ||||
| happyguava |
Sounds good to me! | ||||
| Fantine |
We need a lot more entries if this is ought to be a succes.
As for the finale, we now have a Valjean and a Fantine. We need a Cosette for the line: "You will live, papa, you're going to live! It's too soon, too soon to say goodbye." (I will record this just in case). And we still need an Eponine. Which would be happyguava, well, at least if she sends me something. |
||||
| actor |
Come on people! This is gonna be fun! Get them in!
Fantine, you have received all of mine haven't you? |
||||
| kozafluitmusique |
Fantine, do you mean we need more people for the Finale or for all the songs? 
|
||||
| Fantine |
Yup. |
||||
| Fantine |
The new and final closing date will be 6th of August.
Everyone send your stuff in now! Last chance! [email protected] or use yousendit.com! |
||||
| happyguava |
Yup - count me in!! Yay! Is there a backing track? |
||||
| EponineJavert |
Well, whenever you guys finish, I'll help with the chorus part
And I have a backing track, so I know they're out there
|
||||
| kozafluitmusique |
Wait...I'm so confused.  Are we still just working on the Finale or all the songs?
|
||||
| EponineJavert |
From what I understood we were just doing the finale
|
||||
| Kristin Chenoweth |
If you still need a Cosette for the finale, I'm your girl.
(Anyone want to do AHFOL with me?) |
||||
| happyguava |
I could sing Eponine. |
||||
| actor |
Fantine, have you had many more? | ||||
| Fantine |
Just one more, plus my own entries. | ||||
| Fantine |
Only one day left! | ||||
| Aimee |
One Day More!
[sorry I had to do it]
|
||||
| Sweeney Hyde |
So...now that the day is here...when will we move on to the next step of the process? | ||||
| Angel-of-Music* |
what happens now? | ||||
| The Pirate King |
It's too bad Audacity sucks for me and always moves gradually out of sync with my tracks or I would've recorded Stars. |
