One more week, people. That’s all the time you have to make your mark, to have your chance to be in the latest and greatest Nightlight production!

There’s been some good auditions so far (some people even making good use of the ‘additional voices’ option) but there’s one or two significant parts available still… notably are there any female listeners out there??

Thanks to all of those who have submitted auditions so far, it’s been great receiving a high level of professional efforts. For those of you who are still on the fence about auditioning… there’s still time. Dust that microphone off and get recording.

Darth Vader’s Dud Star has captured the Millenium Compliant, which is holding two droids which may or may not hold the plans to the Dud Star. Mouldy-Bun Baloney is busy trying to deactivate the tractor beam, and Lube, Ham, and Pooey come up with a plan to save the princess…

Starring:
Lawrence Aitchison as Narrator, Lube Skystalker and Chef
Matt Smith as Darth Vapour, See Creepio, Mouldy-Bun Baloney, and Pooey the Wookiee
Stanley Brain as Number Two and Ham Slowmo

Originally recorded on the 29th April, 2007.

A talk with Don S. Davis, well known for his roll as General Hammond on Stargate SG-1, but also a respected actor, stage director, stunt man and artist. This interview was recorded on a rather crappy hand recorder at a Friends of Science Fiction in Sydney.

The time has come, once again, to open the doors for Nightlight to those few, those lucky few, who would like to join! With the success of Beneath Monkey Island, scripts are being written and lines are being recorded for a new radio play called ‘The Power of Monkey Island’.

What will happen in it, I hear you ask? The capture and trial of LeChuck, a mysterious voodoo curse, the rise of a new enemy, swashbuckling, and monkeys all await Guybrush and Carl!

Currently there are five roles open for audition:

Governor Phineas Phatt (appearing in five parts)
The blubbery governor of Phatt Island should be spoken with bored detachment to everything. In the trial run of the script I spoke him with a snide voice like Alan Rickman (Snape from Harry Potter). It worked well, but I’m sure there’s better Alan Rickman impersonations out there…
Sample line: Good work, Sir Creigh Blue. I’ll be sure that you are properly rewarded. This has been a dreadful bore… stewards, surely there’s a meal I’m missing, isn’t there? Please, take me away from this.

Elaine Marley-Threepwood (appearing in one part)
Everyone knows who she is, don’t they?
Sample line: Guybrush? What are you doing here! It’s five o’clock, you’re meant to be walking the poodles!

Voodoo Lady (appearing in one part)
A deep Caribbean accent.
Sample line: Don’t go touching any of that, Carl. I know where everything is!

Kolomana (appearing in four to five parts)
A witch doctor. Needs to have a deep presence, a smooth, sinister voice. Can be played with a Caribbean accent if desired, try something out.
Sample line: Guybrush Threepwood, of course I’ve heard of you. May I just say that your reputation is completely unfounded.

Pasty teenager (appearing in one part)
No name as of yet, an exaggerated voice breaking part needed. Think of a pimply teenager working at a fast food joint.
Sample line: Would you like chocolate sprinkles on your venti buccacino (buck-a-chee-no)?

Murray (appearing in one part)
It would be good to have everyone’s favourite evil demonic skull for one part.

Additional voices
Got something to contribute? Always had the urge to swash a few buckles? Want to show off your ‘arrrr’? Then hey, who am I to stand in the way. If you have a voice that you want to try out, then by all means, email it to me. You might end up with a character written for you, it’s happened before…

As always, your voice and microphone clarity are equally important. Anything crackly or tinny won’t really cut it. So if you’re interested, dust off your microphone, make sure the house is empty, and put on a voice! Send all submissions through to galactichand at hotmail.com.

Can people gather what’s happening now? The old Nightlight podcast is dead in the water. Instead I’ve started the process of splitting it off into a multitude of RSS feeds. So now there’s an RSS feed just for Tierra de los Muertos. The feed is here…

Everything’s gone.

All the website posts have just been deleted. Yes, it was intentional. The website had begun to get bloated and messy. I’ve updated the wordpress software, I’m working from scratch with a new plug-in called PowerPress (it deals with podcasts, and I hope it will work)…

I can hear a cosmic sigh. Don’t worry, I won’t take a long time posting the previously released content. One a day, you have my word (for what it’s worth). Heck, there’ll even be new content thrown in as well.
