Thanks for voting, lovely Litnetters. You are all appreciated.

Our polls will be officially closed in less than 12 hours; and auditions will take place thereafter. Audition details will soon be posted.

Sooo sorry Janine, I sent you a message.

Oh that's ok; I was only joking really; I am good natured. I didn't realise either that the poles had not closed yet...however, it looks like Hamlet has the day! Yeah , should be fun casting that one.

Wow, thank you! I was just thinking of a score as a possibility, I never expected anyone on here to actually be able to create one. Exactly what I was looking for, a sort of dark, subjective, moody, kind of ambient music. Perfect! Thank you!

Wow, music...now that is pretty cool. I like his ideas....moody and ambient music...sort of new wavish with an edge might be good and some bit of melody relating to the more romantic/pensive/emotional moments.

I voted for The Taming of the Shrew. I think Twelfth Night Or A Midsummer Night's Dream or Othello would be fun. I like Hamlet but it is done so much.

Having said that, I would like to participate. This sounds like lots of fun. Great idea, Daniel. Also, Dori, thanks for mentioning the sock puppets; I think I might try that with my class when we read Julius Caesar. I just see a sock puppet intoning "Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears..." Brilliant!

Yay! A last minute volunteer! We certainly could do with more actors, so make sure that you have an audio program. Since the polls are closing in about ten hours, and I've already sent out a PM announcment to everybody else, I'll just forward it to you.

I haven't read all of the posts, and maybe I'll go back and do that, but I just can't help mentioning my sudden excited realization that, at least with some of the scenes, it'd be really great if you guys could set up a skype or yahoo audio chat, and record it so that we listeners can hear the interplay, and you guys really get some chemistry going during the readings.

^What an interesting idea! Though I doubt that many of our volunteers have live chat video cameras.

By the way, this thread will be offically closed in about ten hours. We've already declared Hamlet the obvious winner and have a new thread.

[billl]

you might need a third party program to record it (or pay skype money for the option), but i think an audio chat between two people involved in an extended dialogue would be much better than recording the conversation separately. More than two people would almost certainly require paying money for a conference call/chat/meeting functionality, unless someone knows of a free way to do it (yahoo! chat??)

[DanielBenoit]

Okay everyone! Polls are closed! Hamlet is the winner!

This thread is now offically closed! All volunteers are in, if still wish to volunteer your last chance is now at the audition thread!
