On Tuesday, I’m heading down to Portland to record the script for Machine Horror House with Marc Rose of MJR SounDesign and his band of handpicked actors. I’ve written and recorded a fair amount of dialog before for myself and other people’s projects, but it was all in a transactional way like:
- Deliver script to voiceover talent
- Receive recorded audio files
- Repeat as needed to make corrections.
But this would be the first time that I had a recording session with actors talking to each other directly for their lines, with an ability to experiment with the lines and delivery to get a good result. So it will maybe be a little more Firesign Theater-style with happy accidents. Well, I shouldn’t jinx it. We will see how it goes.
Also, Marc assures me that there will be some badass robot voices. I love robot voices. You don’t even know.
