WJ4 "Why I Jam" Audio Compilation

Recommended Posts

Hey, Wizard Jam community!

 

I'd like to put together an audio advertisement for Wizard Jam 4 to highlight the different voices and personalities of our community. 

 

Here's how to participate

1. Record yourself with loose adherence to the following script (the shorter/tighter, the better and more useable)

2. Upload your mp3 file in this thread

3. Check back in for the compilation

 

Script

I'm [name/handle] (optional)

I've made [past wizard jam games] (optional)

and I jam because [reason] (required)

 

Production

We're hoping to edit this in a couple ways - long versions, short versions, and if we get it really well produced we might even try to convince the Idle Thumbs to tack it onto the end of a podcast episode!

 

Below I've included a longer intro that we might put at the beginning of the pitch, and it includes my own "Why I Jam" response.

 

Have fun, and I look forward to hearing your voices :)

 

- Jon

As far as the "Why I Jam" question goes, think of your past game(s) - what was in them?

 

Explosions? Pizza? Rat Kings? Dots? Thumbs? Guns? 

Did you do the art? the sound? the design? the code? 

Did you finish your project? collaborate? learn a new skill? meet a new friend?

 

We all get something out of this process, and whether common or unique I think they're all worth hearing :)

We could also use some background music for the ad - I'm thinking something fun, but probably without vocals, and it has to be something freely available.

Here's mine. It's a bit bass-heavy, but that's sort of just how my voice is! I tried EQing it, but I figured I'd just leave it flat so you could make any changes as you saw necessary.

This section is going to need an explicit content warning because you all have sexy as heck voices, btw.

Well, here's a thing. I talk kind of slow and spacey so hopefully it's pretty easy to cut out what you need.

Inspiring story :) We'll grab bits for the ad, but we'll include the full thing in the unabridged version!

This is damn cool. I love seeing jam games grow up to be fully fledged awesome things!

 

Edit: Also, so many robots :D

Damn it Travis, only one robot allowed.

 

Sounds like a robot duel is in order.

Hey! Hopefully this is also helpful for the edit! I joined the forum after being a listener for a long time just to join the Jam! The last one seemed SO MUCH FUN!
