It's simple really. I'm making an experimental flash game which requires the recordings of not 1, not 2, not 3, but 120 people recording themselves saying their own name. No prerequisites required. All I need is your permission to use the recording in the flash for free.
Steps:
1) Using a microphone, record yourself saying your real name or even just your Newgrounds alias. You can say it in any fashion you want, the only thing you might want to watch out for is being too loud.
2) Send the recording in .wav or .mp3 format to 120Voices@gmail.com
You will be credited for contribution in the flash of course!
About the Game:
Working Title: The Path We've Taken
This project is very exciting for me because even I am not able to really classify what kind of game it is. It can be musical but in other ways its very visual. It is at once intellectual and also visceral. It toys with your senses and asks you to relax but also extend yourself in ways that you don't usually in games. It does not penalize, but really it does not reward in the sense of compensation for effort (Though it will have medals). At its heart, it is a game about you, the individual, your perceptions of the world in which you live, and about finding the "path" that brought you to this point, or whatever point is currently stalling in the static of your psyche. It has no goals but it tells a story. Your Story.
Sounds simple right? Right. My aim is to build a game that is both an enjoyable experience and also tries to effectively address everything I put in that sort of paragraph.
Obviously these are alot of voices, and no I don't expect to get 120 voices from newgrounds but since newgrounds has always been there to accept my wacky experimentations, I figure I should give back for what will be far my waskiest one yet. Thanks guys!

Sounds really interesting, but I'm still wondering what your going to use the audio of people saying their names for.
