eponinelover	Vertual Les mis I was reding in the post "one day more- record it together" that there once was a virtual les mis. I was wondering, what was that? What did it entail?Could someone please tell me?
Aimee	One of the regular board members opened a site of her own dedicated to this. We the sent her clips of our voices to 'audition' for the roles and she cast it. She had two casts 'cos so many people wanted to do it. We then recorded our parts [I am/was Fantine in cast B] and once it was all gathered together it was to go up on her site. Unfortunately not everyone did their bit so it never came together to be finished. Which was a shame.
Fantine	The One Day More thing is a project I'm currently working on. It is progressing slowly...
eponinelover	Just an idea... About the virtual les mis thing. Could we do it again? If we could, I would most deffinetly like to. Remember, just an idea.
Fantine	We could... but like most virtual cast things it would probably just die out. Either too little people audition, the organisation is lousy, people stop visiting these boards, people don't send in their stuff, people don't send what they promised to do... Been there, done that. I'm not even sure if the ODM thing will work out.
eponinelover	I think it will! I think it will if we work hard enough. I would have done the one day more thing if I hadn't joined too late.
Aimee	I have to agree eponinelover, they just don't work. They were done on many forums after the Les Mis one started. Not ONE of them competed and people got really fed up of seeing them. They are great idea but just to complex and time consuming and reliant on inreliable people to do their stuff. Sorry.
Fantine	eponinelover wrote: I think it will if we work hard enough. I would have done the one day more thing if I hadn't joined too late. Why yes but you aren't the only cast member.
liza_minelli	That would be sooo fun!! Id love to be Little Cosette again.. *!*Dreams*!*
DarthRevan00m9	I would have loved to do it. It sounded great but my mic is pretty sucky when it comes to singing but I still would have done my part. I know alot of projects die quickly if you don't have the right people doing it. I should know me and my friends have tried to make many a MOD (It's a gamer thing) but it failed because people did not do their job. Now if you could get their emails that might help because then you arent totally relient on the board. Also if your current "One Day More" isn't working I suggest you get your most reliable people, keep them as their current characters, make a new board, find reliable people, etc... eventually you'll have a full cast you can rely on.
Fantine	No.
happyguava	I'd do it. I was disappointed about being late for the One Day More thing too.
Aimee	The best way to resolve this is for people who want to sing some Les Mis, do so and just out the vclips up here. I do understand people wanting to do it but the whole show just wont work. How would you do it? Recast the whole thing? Make the people who have got parts anyway re-audition for them? That's not fair. I suggest those who missed One Day More auditions pop up clip for us. That would be good.
Fantine	Yeah that'd be fun.
eponinelover	Could we do it? The reason I posted the virtual les mis thing was because I was serious. I think I haven't explained myself clearly enough. If we did do it, I would run the whole thing, perhaps having another person to help if they wanted to. I would carefully choose the cast, and I would supply the backing tracks. I would make sure that everyone I casted would do thier part. I would also post the results in this forum. Now are you convinced? If you are interested in doing this, please reply! One more thing, I am not forcing anyone to do this. My entention is to just have fun!
Fantine	We aren't doubting your seriousness or devotion. It is just that: A. You need to find at least 10 people who share this sense of devotion, B. There is a large amount of chorus songs, how are you going to do that, C. Backing tracks for each song are hard to find, D. It will take too long and people will lose their interest, E. You will need someone who can mix the songs, F. People will need good microphones and recording devices which half of the people that audition don't, G. You need a place to host, altough that shouldn't be too much of a problem (yousendit) H. What if people don't send in their stuff on time? Are you going to force them by sending angry emails? I. If people don't send their stuff, will you recast and start the process all over again? J. You will need a team of people who will cast the roles, K. What if you selected ten people for the casting but only one or two send you their list? L. You will need to find a way to get the audition songs to everyone that is helping you cast the show, M. This takes months and months of hard work, N. Do you even realise what hard work this actually is?

eponinelover	Why? Why would I need 10 people if I could use digitalisation? By all means, we could hold auditions. That is, when I find characters for: Fantine Valjean Marius Cosette Enjolras (I would play Eponine) I hope you would reconcider.
Fantine	I wish you good luck.
eponinelover	What's that supposed to mean? Does that mean nobody is going to do it?
olly	Re: What's that supposed to mean? eponinelover wrote: Does that mean nobody is going to do it? Lol, I said I would but I don't think my voice is at its 'peak' if you get me. If I did do it, I'd audition for Javert. But honestly, I don't think you'd find 10 devoted people.
eponinelover	Why? Why would I need 10 people if I could use digitalisation?
Superstar83	Well, I'm a terrible singer so even though I like the idea, I wouldn't be able to join in. And, like others say, it just seems like too big a project.
eponinelover	Why? Why don't you prove it to me, send a clip. Don't doubt yourself!
happyguava	I'll be in it gladly. I would love to play Cosette or Fantine, either is fine with me. I won't be able to record until after Italy (I leave today for 2 and a half weeks) but I can check email/forums while I'm there so keep me posted. I can also mix the songs if you want.
eponinelover	Yay! Thank you! After you get back, will you send me a clip of you singing Fantine's and Cosertte's parts. That way, I can see if you would fit the roles. Thanks so much!
eponinelover	more casting info I also need Young Cosette Thenardier Mme Thenardier and does anyone have any ideas about Gavroche? I certainly don't.
Aimee	The point is it will cause arguments. It has been cast already. You can't go casting it again. Do you not understand this? Some of the people who were cast still post here regulary. What are you going to do about that? Give them their parts automatically? What about the person organising it last time? What is your set up? How are you going to run it? Who will help you? etc etc I actually think you are being very short sighted and a little ignorant when you go ahead with this despite our objections and despite numerous people telling you why it didnt work last time and not showing us a proper plan how you'll get it to work this time. I am not saying don't do it but you must prove to us that it can be done a] without pissing people off [though I think it may be too late for that] and b] to make sure it gets finished in a reasonable amount of time. Without this I am going to say that we stick to what has become the board line and say no virtual shows, they just are more trouble than they are worth. I give you until the end of March to organise this. If its not well organised by then I'm shutting it down. I think that's fair notice. Having said all that I like enthusiasm, especially for Les Mis so don't take this personally.

If the people who are doing the one day more thing just send me their clips, (reason being to see if you are good enough)I will probably recast you. For your information, a few people have wishhed they could be in it, so don't tell me noone wants to be in it! I hope you will reconsider what you have said base on this information.
Timmy_Wishes he was Quast	Why don't you just blow a raspberry at Amiee? I'm sorry to say this but no matter how hard you try the liklihood of this thing actually coming off is hard to judge. You have to get at people to do it. And some people who may be interested now may have problems with recording etc. I know i'd love to do it. But the bitter disapointment if it all falls out will hardly encourage me to take part in similar activities again.

One, you ignored my other question. What are you going to do about the people already cast? I am not talking about The One Day More cast I am talking abiut the Virtual Les Mis cast. Two, I tell you noone wants to be in it. Please don't put words into my mouth and accuse me of things I have not done or said. Of course you'll find people who want to be in it. There was 100% enthusiasm here for the first one, we all wanted to be in it but IT DIDN'T WORK. We have been very reasonable about this but you really are annoying several people now so I can't see this happening. I have posted about it on the admin forum and a decicion will be made.
Fantine	How old are you anyway? You come off as a fourteen year old. Why are you ignoring the advice of the members that have been here long enough? You asked for our advice so take it, or don't ask. I would especially take note of what Aimee has been saying all this ** time. This causes arguments and it is already happening. We get sick of it. Just take the message. And it's not only this, but also your terrible behaviour even if you are only a newbie, asking for backing tracks any possible time you can think of it, telling people "to send them" without even asking politely and pm-ing me ridiculous questions. Do you expect us to take you seriously?
Superstar83	eponinelover wrote: Why don't you prove it to me, send a clip. Don't doubt yourself! I'm not doubting myself. I know my limits and I'm not embarrassed to admit that my singing just isn't up to scratch. Honestly, I think you're starting to get way too pushy (you didn't need to reply here AND PM me after my reply in this thread) about this and if you don't stop people are going to start getting really ticked with you. I'm not trying to be mean, just truthful.
DarthRevan00m9	Hey I wanted to do this but now that I see what the older members are saying I'm gonna have to agree. It's gonna take alot of work and devotion and my schedual is really gonna start picking up next month to where I'll barely have a moment to myself until June. So ya I'm gonna agree with Aimee and Fantine they know what they're talking about.
thebeautyisClara	I agree with the members who have been here quite awhile. Les Mis is a huge show that would take a lot of effort to cast and record, and it wouldn't be fair to the old "cast." However, I'm sure there are people who would like to virtual audition somewhere else. Is there any other website that does that sort of thing?
eponinelover	In answer to all angry replies This is in answer to all angry replies: a. If the people who were cast last time just send me theirclips, I will consider them. b. Yes, I am 14, but don't judge me by my age! c. I did not ignore your qustion. d. If you don't like me on the board, I'll just go away, and never come back.! Is that what you want? e. I may ask a little too much about certain things, because I am not quite used to the edditing posts thing yet!. I mean, come mon, I've been here only 9 days! If this is how you always will respond to me, I willl, aas I said before, will go away from this board.. Thanks alot for making my day!
Moci	Re: In answer to all angry replies eponinelover wrote: a. If the people who were cast last time just send me theirclips, I will consider them. Why should they have to? There is a virtual cast of Les Mis, why should there be another just so you can play Eponine? eponinelover wrote: b. Yes, I am 14, but don't judge me by my age! Nobody would have judged you by age if they hadn't noticed your inability to act tactfully, apparent need to beg as many clips and backing tracks off the board members as possible and lack of respect the English language. eponinelover wrote: d. If you don't like me on the board, I'll just go away, and never come back.! Is that what you want? In the way that you're acting now, quite possibly. However, I can assure you that if you try to contribute something valid to the board, people will accept you and forget things that have happened previously. I figured when you made this post, thats what you were doing. I was willing not to mention anything again, had you kept to your 'fresh start', I'd be willing to do so again. eponinelover wrote: e. I may ask a little too much about certain things, because I am not quite used to the edditing posts thing yet!. I mean, come mon, I've been here only 9 days! Just give it a go and practice if you're having trouble with quoting or something, that's what the preview button is for. eponinelover wrote: Thanks alot for making my day! You're welcome.
DarthRevan00m9	Hang on is the virtual Les Miserables still going? Or is it dead? Because if it's dead then why is everyone making such a big deal with making a new one? If the last one died then there should be no problem recasting it. It isn't really unfair because if you go the part you wanted last time you should be able to stand up to some competition. Now if there is a virtual Les Mis still going then I could see how this one would make you guys upset.
eponinelover	Yay! DarthRevan00m9 wrote: Hang on is the virtual Les Miserables still going? Or is it dead? Because if it's dead then why is everyone making such a big deal with making a new one?

No, by the sound of thoings, I think thisis the only les mis thing happening wright now. Thanks!
Timmy_Wishes he was Quast	This is ridiculous...someone stop the child!
eponinelover	Vertual Les mis I am not a child! I am a young adult!
Timmy_Wishes he was Quast	Not yet! Its not till you are 15 i'm afraid!
The Very Angry Woman	Timmy_Wishes he was Quast wrote: This is ridiculous...someone stop the child! Funny, sometimes I think that when I see your posts.
Timmy_Wishes he was Quast	Funny seems to me that you seem to keep popping up and annoying people regardless of weather they have done anything to offend you. I would like to know what in particular have done to offend you in anyway that provokes these attacks on any forum not just here! Come on TVAW lets here it...let it all out here and now!
Fantine	TVAW only speaks the truth. Though it may be painful.
eponinelover	virtual les mis Due to the lack of enthusiasm you have exhibited, I am taking this topic to PM only. If you have a reply, or have changed your mind, please PM me. Also, p;lease send me your clips, if you said you would.
DarthRevan00m9	Fantine wrote: TVAW only speaks the truth. Though it may be painful. But there is something called tact that she is either lacking in or doesn't give a care about.
Fantine	The latter. I am quite certain she knows perfectly well what tact is. As long as you don't act stupidly she will not bother you.
Timmy_Wishes he was Quast	i just think its not entirly fair becasue it makes people wary about expressing their opnions if they are just going to be rudely smudged!
Moci	Timmy Wishes That He Was Quast wrote: I just think it's not entirely fair, because it makes people wary about expressing their opinions if they are just going to be rudely smudged! ...but it might make them think twice about how they express their opinion next time.
Timmy_Wishes he was Quast	And should she not think that!?
Aimee	Re: virtual les mis eponinelover wrote: Due to the lack of enthusiasm you have exhibited, I am taking this topic to PM only. Good. Please stick to that and do not post about it on the board again. I expect you to be true to your word and not to ask about this on the board again, ever. If you do record a version of Les Mis please do not attribute it to M.net as it is now purely a private thing run by you alone as you have the right to do. That as far as I am concerened, your comment means that this conversation is ended and therefore I am locking this thread.
