Hi!
I'm a third year filmmaking and screenwriting student, and my film project for this semester is a short film (minimum eight minutes) that is due in on May 6th. I've had the idea in mind since around mid-January, and we go into filming on March 28th. The working title for this project is Emily. It's a story about social alienation and the impact that technology and the media has had on self-image and interpersonal communication.
The reason I'm posting on here is that I would love some help with this project if anyone is willing to volunteer. It won't take much of your time, you'll be credited (either by real name or username - whatever you're comfortable with), it can be done at your own leisure, and all you need is a microphone! What I'm looking for is short voice recordings - it'll be anything from one to two words (← most likely this one) to a couple of sentences. I would like to find as many people as possible, and I thought that for a project that revolves around the idea of communicating via technology that it could be fun to get people from TBT involved. If people from here do decide to help out I'll share the link in May.
If people could let me know either here or by PM if they're interested in helping out then I'll share more information about submitting files and such. As for lines, the most common I would need is just a voice recording of people saying the name "Emily".

Pierrot and Marie, March 28 2015.
With so much happening lately I'm only just now getting around to work on the edit with two weeks to go until the deadline. If anyone is still up to helping me out on this I'd be hugely grateful! oath2order is voicing the role of Pierrot, and I believe Yuni is down for Marie, assuming she's still up for it. But I still need other voices, which are going to be heard when Emily

Having a fancy microphone isn't necessary, for those who've listed that as a concern. Even using the microphone on the pair of earphones I got with my phone is producing usable results. I also use my phone as a microphone when I do voice recordings sometimes and quality is generally good.
The easiest way to submit anything would be to use Vocaroo, save it, and then forward me the link either in this thread or via PM so that I can download it.
For anyone with more experience (knows how to do this without me having to give step-by-step instructions) and can use software / their phone to create the recording that would actually be better, but as it's more work I'm not expecting people to do that. If you decide to do it this way and would prefer to email rather than upload your file, PM me and I'll send you back my email address.
What I'm looking for / advice:
- Find a quiet place with as little background noise as possible.
- Speak at a normal volume - gives the best quality result.
- Say the name "Emily". Preferably a few times in different intonations (questioning / urgent / sing-song / etc), but even just once is fine.
Thank you to anyone who is willing to help out. You will be credited.
