HeySorry guys I have been busy recently, as I have pursued my career in musical theatre by moving to another state. I have recently been cast as 'Mark' in a production of A Chorus Line in Melbourne, Australia. My clip will be all yours very soon, but alas I can only get into the studio on the 27th which means it will be available on the 29th. Is this all right? Unless you don't want a studio recording and then I can record using a two way and be done with it? Any ideas? Have a good one ya'll |
||||
| Fantine |
Wow, we have a pro in our midsts 
A studio recording would be fabulous... Although the ending product isn't that official or anything, so keep that in mind. There are other recordings of the other cast members which have lesser quality. It's up to you 
|
||||
| Aimee |
Studio??
Gulp!! 
|
||||
| Aimee |
Done... and bump. | ||||
| Fantine |
Everyone who failed to send in their clips in time, has lost their role.
I will be singing the role of Eponine. All male roles are open to anyone. Just send me your clip and you're in. |
||||
| Timmy_Wishes he was Quast |
I'd like to play Javert...do you have the backing track!? to record too | ||||
| Fantine |
As soon as yousendit.com is back online I will repost it. | ||||

If you want to try either one of these parts:
ENJOLRAS THENARDIER Please email me! I have four voices mixed in already and if everyone wishes it I can upload the product so far. |
||||
| smokeyspotlight |
I would really love to hear the product so far! This is such an exciting project- well done for organising it!!! | ||||
| Timmy_Wishes he was Quast |
Go on lets hear it so far! 
|
||||
| Aimee |
|
||||
| olly |
No, I don't think we should hear it before it's finished - that'lll make the finished peice all that more special. We want to hear the finished one, not the unfinished one.... | ||||
| Timmy_Wishes he was Quast |
okay...fantine may you send me a link to the partially finished verion as a PM then i can listen to the work so far that iam involved in!? | ||||
| smokeyspotlight |
Lets hear a bit- come on!! Who knows what could happen tomorrow- computers could crash world wide and then we will never know what could have been and never was.
So for the sake of 'just in case...' I think you should play it. Come on. Just a little teeny weeny bit. |
||||
| Fantine |
Well yes, but the way it is going now it will never be finished. |
||||
| smokeyspotlight |
Exactly. So play the song already 
|
||||
| Fantine |
Okay, here goes nothing.
It is FAR from perfect, really. I'm going to put some comments here about why some stuff is sucky and how I can't get it better. I'm not pointing the finger at anyone but myself here, really! Don't feel offended... And keep in mind that this project is purely for fun. Piscesmoni as Cosette: the recording wasn't perfect to start with and I couldn't get you much louder as it would damage the quality severely, I'm sorry 
Fantine (me) as Eponine: not the best I've done, I might get rid of the final note since I was unable to hit it that long for some reason And it ruins the rest. Or re-record it.
Aimee as Madame Thenardier: the top notes will give some disturbance, but that has to do with my editing. Timmy as Javert: I'm not sure what is wrong here. Javert's part seems to be off the track at first, but the ending of his solo does work out... So I'm leaving it like this for starters and hear some of what you have to say on how to improve this, because I never really listenened to Javerts bits, but if someone would enlighten me... As for the CHORUS bits... These are far from perfect. If we had been all together, recording it together with a conductor, it would be much better. But, we're not together and we don't have a conductor. So this is really messy, especially the last: One more dawn One more day One day more! But oh well. I edited Piscesmoni's parts in first and sang along with her while Aimee and Timmy were kind of together in this bit. I'm not sure how I'm going to fix this yet. I do like the voices coming together in More (with the note going up). There is much that could be done better, but perhaps we can work on that now that we know how everyone sings their stuff. Here is the recording: http://download.yousendit.com/9959A76C28D569EB Please be gentle on all of us and judge them with their individual quality. It is far from a perfect One Day More, but I never said it would be. |

I really don't think it's that bad, too be honest. It's an amature recording, so you can't expect that much.
Some people on it are a bit...bad...but it doesn't matter. I have yet to hear the whole recording. Keep it coming.
By the way, I suggest you use Audasity (it's a free music recording program). It has a feature that can adjust the notes to be right on.

........................WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!! Yeah!!! Alright!!!! BRAVOOOO!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!! More!!! MORE!!! ENCORE!!! 
|

| eponinelover |
If you would like, I could play Eponine, being as you are not very good on this recording, you cant hold the note nearly as long as you should. I promise I can do better than I did in OMO, I promise!I cant record for a week or so, but I will certainly when I get the chance. | ||||
| Fantine |
You and me both, dahling
|
||||
| flying_pigs |
I thought Fantine did a really good job and I thought she held that note really well. Well done guys! |
||||
| Timmy_Wishes he was Quast |
Would you like me to re-record? I always race on that bit!! lol! NOT BAD for someone with flu!! Well i don't think so!
I LOVED IT!!! AWESOME! OOO i have an echio at the end! LOL! |
||||
| happyguava |
I like it!!!! Aimee, Fantine, Timmy, Piscesmoni - you all did a really good job!!
There are bits which are fix-able if you wanted to get pedantic about it(eg. fiddling with lengths of the notes at the end so they all cut off at once), you could even chuck a bit of reverb on if you wanted to. |
||||
| Fantine |
Thanks everyone.
Timmy, if you really want to re-record it that's fine
I wasn't talking about 'There' as the note which I couldn't manage to hold long enough, but about 'more' all the way in the end. So no, Eponine has nothing to do with it. It wouldn't be a bad idea to fix those notes so that they end on the same time... Where can I get those (FREE) programs? |
||||
| Lazarus (Adam G) |
The Free program is here:
http://mowpt.dyndsl.com/Adam/Da%20JCS/audacity-win-1.2.4b.exe I uploaded it on my server. One note: it saves in a diffrent format. Give it a try, though. It's a great program.

| aidancarr |
do you still have any male roles open? | ||||
| olly |
If you'd looked on page 1, and listened to the clip so far, you'd notice that Fantine said that she is still looking for the characters of Enjolras, Marius, and Thenardier.
So, yes, if you want to try out for either of those parts, send a clip of the part you want to play along with the backing track to Fantine. |
||||
| Fantine |
Yes, all of them (except for Javert) are open (sort of)
The guy singing Jean Valjean did say he would send me his files within the next few days, but if you can record something earlier and send it to me before they do, the role is yours. It would be perfect if you were able to sing either: Enjolras or Thenardier though... All you have to do is sing along to the provided backing and send the recording to me using www.yousendit.com, using this email address: [email protected] Thanks. |

| Fantine |
Desperately Seeking Susan.
or not. Desperately seeking an Enjolras or Thenardier!

| actor |
Have you got Valjean yet?
Come one people! It's almost done! |
||||
| convict24601 |
sorry to bump this up...
could you re-post the "finished" One Day More? I'd love to hear it
|
||||
| Ep-Griz-Reno |
wow...i guess i AM too late....=/... | ||||
| olly |
No, I don't think you are. Fantine posted a clip of One Day More! with the voices she has already has. As far as I'm aware, there are still parts open. I'm not sure about Eponine though. |
||||
| Fantine |
Parts open:
Jean Valjean Enjolras Thenardier One Day More: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=2CA0F83E6CD9953A I wouldn't know why anyone would want to be a part of this dreadful recording It's quite funny though. Before you go butcher it, please read my explanation a few pages back
|
||||
| eponine5 |
Sorry if I'm kind of invading in and listening to your recording, but it is actually better than I expected! Aimee, you sound like a real Thenardiess! It was really good until that last 'one day more' | ||||
| Fantine |
I know, that part really, really sucks. |
||||
| eponine5 |
ah well, it made me laugh. At least now we can really appreciate the art of the CSR!
|
||||
| Fantine |
Haha. Well at least it was a fun challenge

recording so farOMG! i just listened to what there is so far and i'm speechless. No offence but i was expecting some amatuer singers screeching their way through the song...to eponine and marius...WOW, i mean everyone was very good but i have this thing with vibrato that i extremely appreciate anyone with a good one, and yours...wow, even though eponine wasn't able to hold the note, it was gorgeous vibrato and i love your actual voice and marius's...i'm wierd that way, i like people's voicessmall seggestion, get cosette to either re-record her part, or get someone else to sing it cuz you couldn't hear a thing and when you could there was staticy sound, i couldn't even tell what she sounded like...and btw, i actually liked that not everyone was completely synched at the end, there's the part where eponine's already holding the note and marius suddenly comes in...i loved it...hee hee, mme.thenardier made me laugh...made me thing of out mme.thenardier (that's a good thing) way to go
|

| Jordan |
I may have to invite myself round to Aimee's and record Thenardier at her place. I have no mic and would want her to help me keep timing (my main problem as a singer).
I'll get back to you on that when Aimee invites me round 
|
||||
| Fantine |
Thank you so much I'm glad you liked my voice! As for Eponine... Well I'm not much of a belter (haven't properly learned the technique yet) so I'm always a little silent Eponine
I know about Cosette, but I can't contact her. If I make her louder, the quality worsens. Recasting the role seems unfair, if you know what I mean. It's a shame... I don't really know what to do
That'd be perfect! Go and invite yourself
|
||||
| Aimee |
......as long as you like cats.
|
||||
| Jordan |
I have no problem with them. I prefer baked with lemon stuffing and sautee potatoes. How do you usually do them?
|
||||
| convict24601 |
What can I say? Good attemt. Aimee, you're voice seems like it was made for the part or Mme Thenardier. You're ready for the West End. Fantine - you're voice is so lovely Cosette and Marius did a good job, considering they were not recording this together.
Much better than I anticipated. It makes you wonder how they managed to make the CSR sound so well co-ordinated. |
||||
| Timmy_Wishes he was Quast |
i feel most upset eveyone gets comments aprt from me. Be honest guys was i terrible?! 
|
||||
| mozurkz |
The problems were
1. The sound quality was not good 2. People were WAY out of sync 3. Everyone sounded they were quietly singing at home into a mic. I would suggest actually singing like you would on stage, and don't be afraid to be in character. I'd do Thenardieedsadh;sf (however u spell it) except it looks like someone is already doing it. |
||||
| convict24601 |
The truth? You actually weren't that bad. You had the tune right, you were just off key. Did you record your voice while listening to the backing track or did you record yourself alone? If so I would recommend next time recording while you're listenning to the backing track. If that wasn't the case, then maybe you could try singing Javet's parts while listening to Phillip Quast and sing along with him. That could help your ear. In short it was basically a pitch problem. You have the voice for sure, just make sure you're singing in the right key and on pitch. |
||||
| Fantine |
The off-key thing may have to do with me and me pasting his voice onto the track. I tried to do it on feeling. The first part is messed up, but later it does sync with the track. It's weird. mozurkz, thanks for your comments, however I had already posted about these facts and that it sucked. |
||||
| actor |
I'm just bumping this thread because i am NOT going to let it die (i know there hasn't been a post for months).
Btw, thanks to everyone who complimented me.
|
||||
| Fantine |
I think we must face the fact that the cast will never be complete. It is time to accept this and move on with our lives
|
||||
| eponine5 |
I remember this thread! 
Maybe those people who have proven themselves reliable enough to already record a part could record again as another missing character... |

| happyguava |
I tried to send you my alto-chorus bit, Fantine, a while ago. I have a feeling it may not have worked. |
