New Plan

Hello, gentle viewers! It's been sooooooooo long! I hope everyone is doing well after the holiday madhouse that I'm sure turned most of your lives into a topsy-turvy change of seasons. I know it definitely did so for me! One thing about the holidays, they may not always be the most fun, but once you see one drunk friend after another, they're definitely the most entertaining.
So here's what's happening in my neck of the woods. I have a friend of mine that's really REALLY starting to annoy me, I have recently gotten a new job and am working in a call center for Verizon Wireless(which I absolutely LOVE). So, that's been me for the last few months. Between work and other things in my life, I haven't really had the time to do much. I have, however, had the time to think up a plan. A wonderful plan! Shall I tell you guys about it? I think I shall!
I don't know if you guys have realized this or not, but I am somewhat of a Buffy fanatic. I love the series, the music, and I think the show had some of the smartest writing within the history of television. All this being said, here's my plan...(pause for dramatic effect)...I have decided upon doing an audio version of the show starring some of the biggest fans of the show! One of the main reasons that I had decided to do was because I have the opportunity to jump in on some stage projects for the show which I am really excited about! I figured that upon playing these parts(and yes I actually have different parts throughout different seasons), it would help me as far as interacting lines with others. I can quote the show forwards and backwards, but interactions a different story.
What do I want from you guys? Here's my thoughts: As I've already told you, I want to do an audio of the series. All 144 episodes in a podcast type format. The parts of Joyce, Drusilla, Darla, Tara, Giles, and Faith are cast already. I'm still in need of a Buffy, Willow, Xander, Cordelia, Kendra, Spike, Riley(GAG), Oz, Master, Glory, Adam, Prof. Walsh, Snyder, Princ. Flutie, Mayor, Luke, Dawn, the diffent Potentials for Season 7, Angel, and tons of other extras parts! Here's what I'm proposing. I'd like to hold auditions, either via Skype, GTalk or some other audio platform. If your acting skills aren't the best of the best, don't worry about it. This is for fun. Just audition if you want to take part in it. Acting skills aren't really a neccessity as long as you can do some inflection in your voice! :o) You guys can either shoot me an email, reply to/DM me on Twitter(@tholmes86), send me a message on Facebook, or just leave a some comments on the blog. I do want some feedback on this one as to if you guys like the idea or not so leave some comments! I'm hoping this will be a blast for everyone that takes part!
Also, just wanted to give you guys a heads up, I am presently scouting out some different locations in Atlanta, GA and the surrounding areas to hold a showing of BUFFY: ONCE MORE WITH FEELING for Halloween this year. Planning on doing it ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW style...everyone come dressed as one of the characters from the show and there will be call back lines! Much like the OMWF sing-a-long in Texas if any of you guys went to it. If so, I bet I saw you there! :o) So that's definitely something for ya'll to gear up for as well! It shall be a rolicking success! :o)
I guess I'm all tapped out today! See you guys on he next go around and take care of yourselves! :o)

Been Thinkin'

Hey, guys! Hope all is going well with ya'll! Today... yes, I am pausing for dramatic effect... I've been thinking! Dangerous thing to do, I know, but I think I have something figured out. I can't do much on the acting front anymore, at least not stage wise, so I've think I've got it! A fool proof way to still be able to show off my flare for the dramatic(and BOY do I have a flare for the dramatic!) and still be able to keep from breaking my leg again with all the dance complications of musical theater. You guys ready for it? THEATRICAL RADIO! That's what I've been thinking. Well, that and how to get prepped for my Buffy trivia competition this weekend. Nervous about that one, and kinda excited all at the same time. Finally found out today how many questions they're firing at us. Somewhere in the ballpark of 10,500, they said. Keep in mind, there about 50-60 of us, give or take. Needing some serious quizzing on the subject, so if any of you have questions just shoot 'em my way, either on my Facebook ot Twitter, even an email will work. Back to what I was saying... what was I saying. OH! Theatrical Radio Broadcasting. I think I could soooo do that! I mean, you get into character and don't have to worry with the learning of the choreography, or lines. If I pursue this, however, I sure hope I'm not one of those people that move their arms around frantically the whole time their character is speaking or singing. Really, it doesn't take all that... No one sees you anyway! They aren't going to know if you're sitting on your hands or waving a flag. Yes, I am one of those folks that wouldn't be able to talk with my arms tied behind my back because I do use the hands for speaking(I think it's a southern thing), but this is just overexaggerated stuff. Wow. Pretty sure I butchered the spelling on that. Anyway, some broadcasts do record videos and no one wants to look at themselves looking like an enraged orangutan! Well, maybe someone does, but I'm not one of them. Flailing your arms about does not make one a better actor. Anyhow, that's my randomized thoughts for the day! I keep promising to be more organized, but it's not working for me. It just isn't me, the whole organization thing, not with the thought processes moving as rapidly as they do. Anyone out there know what I'm saying? Anyhow, talk with you guys next go around! Later gators!
