Ok guys, I think it's time we get this started!
We'll start off with an easy one, and I figure people are going to be reasonably creative anyway, so there's no point restricting them just yet.

Here's the topic:
Tell us all a funny story, it can have happened to you, to a friend of yours, or you could just completely make it up, it doesn't matter, just think of the best story you know, grab your mic/phone/whatever and let us all know.



As for the format, I figure I'll post one each Friday night (Australian time), there's not really any strict time frame, but the idea is to do each one some time during the weekend or week after.
I'll probably record mine tomorrow morning and post it up if I get the chance, but everyone is welcome to start whenever they want.

Here's the list of people who're involved so far:
evil_loki
whitecake
blindflower
wondergirl_kate
bluemana
hiritai
r727
mystic_plum

We can always use more, convince all your friends from exotic and awesomely accented countries!

I got an awesome response from that feeler so the project will definitely go ahead.

I think currently the following people are tentatively onboard, please let me know if I've missed anyone:
evil_loki
whitecake
blindflower
wondergirl_kate
bluemana
hiritai
r727

And possibly more I don't know about, I actually expect more people will jump on board once we start going.

Ok, so the big question is, what topic do we start with for the first week?
I want it to be something that doesn't scare people off right away, but is still fun.
Thus I was thinking maybe we'd start with telling a funny story from any time in your life or something? The spoken word song and erotica readings sound the most amusing, but I'm afraid might not be the most open start. XD

Here's some suggestions off the top of my head to get you thinking:
- Put on a fake accent and do a poetry reading
- Read a newspaper article in a sexy tone
- Describe an object in front of you as if you're seeing if for the first time and have no idea what it is, see if listeners can guess what it is
- Read out an article or story in a character voice (your own or from a movie/show)

I'll post up the first prompt in a couple of days as I think the weekend is going to be the best chance for most people to do their recordings, so in the meantime, if you have any suggestions then fire away, as a weekly thing we can certainly do any good ones eventually.

So as I finally jumped on that voicepost prompt from a few weeks ago and had a bit of interest from people who'd done it before and those who hadn't, I figured maybe it would be best to expand out the concept a little and give a little structure for anyone who wanted to give it another go.

What I was thinking was maybe (one a week?) I'd post a topic or theme for everyone to post on, and then you'd have that time to prepare and post something.
The key would be the topics, some examples include:
- Tell a funny story that happened to you growing up
- Do a spoken word version of a song
- How do you pronounce certain words, make up a sentence for each
- Read a small except from a piece of erotica

Anyway, I'm sure once we get thinking there'd be heaps of awesome and hilarious topics, and I'm sure it'd be heaps of fun coming up with them. Please feel free to reply with more if you can think of some.

That said, I think this is something that works best in a reasonable sized group, so who'd be up for it?
There's really no obligation, it's all a bit of fun, so if you don't like a topic, you don't need to do it, but it's more fun if you do. XD

What do you think?
