coughlinjon Posted November 8, 2016 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 WizJam4PlugIntro_Raw.mp3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coughlinjon Posted November 8, 2016 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coughlinjon Posted November 8, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rilen Posted November 8, 2016 Here Ya Go! Rilen_WhyIJam.wav And I think Patrickr's excellent track Unlovable would make a great backing track: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theschap Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Here I am! I tried to get rid of some of the background noise. I'm somewhat in a cave, and my cpu fan is super loud.

Synnah Posted November 13, 2016 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. WJ4 - WhyIJam - Synnah.wav Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
