Hello zonelings,

In my mishmash of projects and experiments, I have managed to step into
something I think would hold some measure of interest for a good number
of you. Namely, creating an audio series with supernatural elements. I know
how many horror fans we have skulking about, and I'm not sure I've ever
met a blind person who didn't aspire to singing or voice work. Here's a
chance.
To be clear, this is volunteer work. Just a fun, spooky and violent thing I'm
experimenting with. So if you're looking for a new way to pay rent, dis ain't
it. It is, however, a chance to get your voice out there and pad your
resume a bit, if that's what you're into. So, male or female, if you are
anywhere from late teens to mid-thirties or can sound like it, and if you
don't mind lending your voice to something like this, do get in contact.

Hey there. Very cool. I've been dabbling in audio theatre (writing, acting, creating sounds, mixing and even a tiny bit of music) for the last few years. It's really a lot of fun, and I'm getting pretty decent on the technical mixing side even. Never used any other actors but me though, so this might be interesting. If you'd like to take a listen to a sample of my work, you can go to sound cloud and search for Remy Chartier. The first entry there is "The Artist" which is my most recent audio theatre piece. The opening and ending themes are my own musical composition, and all the voices are me. I also created about 75 percent of the sound effects, including the real .. wet stuff. Normally I'd direct link it for you but I'm not currently in a location where I can access it

Good stuff! Keep it comin' folks! Comment below or send me a private
message. We're already assembling quite the small squad of actors and
production/sound crew. Past experience helps, but not having any isn't a
dealbreaker. Strong stomachs, senses of humor, creativity and the ability to
take direction are the only musts.

So, I'm sort of interested in this. I'd like to know more information.
I do have a strong stomach, a sense of humour and the ability to take direction. I also have a fairly expressive voice that can do quite a lot of things fairly well. It's a shade on the high side for a man, so you won't get any basso-profundo out of me, but I can do a lot with the range I've got, and there's plenty of it.
I don't have prior experience, unfortunately, and that includes recording myself, so I might need a little help there. Aside from that, this sounds like it might be fun. For the moment, the only huge demand on my time is the novel I'm writing, which is not an eight-hours-a-day sort of diversion, but in January I hope to be back in school full-time studying for a social-work diploma, so my availability might be a bit more limited after that.

If any of this adds up to someone you want to be in touch with, please do reach out.
