Team Fortress 2 Radio Play

Postby Eilavamp » Wed Aug 24, 2011 9:11 pm

Hello everyone! My name is Eilavamp, (pronounced eye-lah) and I am here to introduce the team behind the Radio Play idea that was had on the KritzKast episode 131.

What is this?
This is a bi-monthly radio drama where we follow the TF2 characters (RED and BLU team will both be in it) as they move around different maps and get into various scrapes. I can't say anything regarding storyline because that would be spoilers! :O I can tell you however it will fit with other radio shows, and we will be writing a proper storyline for it so it isn't all just memes and tomfoolery.

Who's part of this so far?
For sake of convenience I will write these people down as their friend names on steam, to allow you to add them so we can actually get some support flowing on this. Firstly, we have cmokami (AKA Albion), theguardkk (AKA The Guard) and That Subliminal Kid who is currently offline so I can't tell you his friends name.

Is this going to stick to the canon we already know as TF2?
Mostly, as much as we can, yes. We're all about how the story is developing. However we have got a few differences. In our drama, the Administrator and Miss Pauling will be present. Saxton Hale, however, will not be a main character. We may get him in now and again, but don't count on it being a regular thing.

What about Music?
One of my personal friends will be doing the music for it. If there is anyone out there who wants to pitch in music ideas for tf2 themed stuff, add me. My friends name is eilavamp.

What can I do to help?
You, the community, can help us out. First off, we don't need any writers. Albion has taken on the bulk of the writing, with myself and the rest of the cast on hand to add in bits and pieces they think the characters would say/react to in that situation. Most likely ideas you guys have will make it in somewhere, we're all about kooky story ideas, but the actual writing doesn't really need much help.

No, what we need are you fine people to help voice our characters. So far, we need:

Demoman
Sniper
Spy

Now we're looking to make this a professional thing (voices might be a bit ropey but wheres the fun if the actors can do the original voices perfectly?) so please apply only if you think this will be the sort of thing you want to do. No timewasters etc. We appreciate people can't see whats gonna happen down the line, but here and now if you're up for it, we're totally serious. Our first episode is basically written, and we're ready to make a move on this :)

I want in! Where do I apply?
Make yourself a http://www.soundcloud.com account and upload it, then either embed it within this thread, or link me via PM/steam/skype whatever is easier for you. I personally listen to every single application and if you want to impress me, you'll have to do more than read the stock tf2 lines. Read a paragraph from a book or wikipedia. //edited because I'm sick of people auditioning with Meet the Team phrases :D

I might be interested, but I need to know how serious you guys are, I don't want to waste my time...
Add one of us on steam, me and Albion are heading up this project so it's probably better for you to speak to either of us.

Lastly, thank you all for reading - we're looking forward to starting recording so anyone who knows anyone who can/will be a part of this, send 'em our way!

Sounds like fun. Too bad I'd be one that would just waste your time. :(

Can't wait to hear the first episode. :D

I am so loving that you guys are moving forward on this. I can't wait to hear what kind of things you have been working on. I would like to ask a question though, Just because I'm a curious little boy. Is it going to be deadly serious, a comedy or somewhere in between?

The fact you have your first episode written is astonishing to me. I just hope the final result has all the passion you guys seem to have in the project.

Definitely keeping my eye on this one, it sounds really interesting. My voice wouldn't suit any of the positions you have there, but if there's ever any small, one-off guest roles I might be able to help. There's also the fact my microphone is a piece of crap, but still :P

Anyway, best of luck with this guys!

the fact we have episode one script 70% complete already is that a spent nearly all of monday and tuesday at work in constant message back and forth with eila.

and as for the comedy/serious question, we're aiming to make it a serious plot, but with tf2's level of tounge in cheek humour

Yeah, while it won't be out and out dark, we do like the underlying tones in the tf2 universe and there are some quite interesting questions you can ask yourself about it, particularly relating to respawning and stuff.

It will be funny though, we're working on making it not take itself TOO seriously :D
