    Pre-recorded Voice Tracks

    Yes.... that is true, too. I did consider this, having the ability to let the puppeteers enjoy some freedom on the set...... and that pre-recording would disable this. I had decided to have sit-down read-throughs with the voice actors and puppeteers simultaneously... allowing for free...

    Pre-recorded Voice Tracks

    Okay...... Buck. I agree with you, let me make that very clear. In a perfect situation it would be advantageous to have the puppeteers perform their own voices. Yes. Totally. Completely. Absolutely. No doubt about it. BUT..... in certain productions, it does become absolutely necessary to...

    Puppetry Auditions in NYC

    Alllllright. Buck Beaver... I just wanted to post an open audition for puppeteers. I didn't want to start a thread, and then a whole thing. If you were not trying to rile me, then apologies all around. I guess I fell into the typical "guy reads something over the internet and gets...

    Puppetry Auditions in NYC

    Well...... Hey... thanks for your post. It wasn't sarcastic or intrusive or even a little insulting to a project you know nothing about. That was really great of you, Buck Beaver. Thanks for that. I am pre-recording the vocals because.... A) I have not yet met nearly any puppeteers that...

    Looking for puppeteers in the NYC/Long Island area

    Just did this to keep my thread fresh..... I want to thank all who have contacted me, and I look forward to meeting the ones who didn't yet. Remember, britt4@optonline.net...... looking for voice talent and puppeteers, not necessarily in the same human body. If you just do voices, contact...

    Worst Muppet Film

    Does "Elmo in Grouchland" count? Because if it does, then it sucks the most.

    Seeking Job as a Muppet Voice Artist

    Hey..... Actually, my upcoming production is recorded audio first, with lip-sunced puppets, so, it's not entirely necessary to learn how to puppeteer. There is no pay for the pilot, let that be known. But, if you want, you may send me a demo tape of your talent, and we can take it from...

    Muppet reality pilot taped last summer

    Perhaps a reality show that involves the actual puppeteers? How they live through the characters? That might be interesting... maybe. As long as they don't get plastic surgery or lose weight or get fired by Donald Trump or eat bugs. -James P.S.... It's Handy Andy, Not Randy.

    Do you like Disney owning the Muppets?

    I think I'd like the idea of Disney owning the Muppets alot better if they would actually DO SOMETHING with the franchise. But, in true Disney fashion, it would more than likely be GREAT right out of the box, followed by a long series a poorly produced crapola that goes straight to DVD...

    Muppet reality pilot taped last summer

    Reality TV is the Devil's Tool. Please don't commit the Muppets to purgatory, as Antron Fleece burns very quickly., and foam gives off a horrible odor. It's bad enough they were forced by the hands that be to appear with Jessica Simpson and Nick whatever his name is. -James

    Aliens in the Family/Dinosaurs/Family Guy

    A question.... Is it possible that Seth MacFarlane (creator of "Family Guy") was a writer or somehow involved in "Dinosaurs" or, more specifically, the failed "Aliens in the Family", because the similarities between Stewie and the Baby from Aliens are way too numerous, as are the family...

    Looking for puppeteers in the NYC/Long Island area

    Well.... Truth be told, I worked for several years as a DJ/Wedding Videographer and all the while had this idea stashed in the back of my head... for about ten years. In actuality, about ten years ago, I had pusued leads for backing and had a few of the pupets built already.... but alas, the...

    Looking for puppeteers in the NYC/Long Island area

    James: Yes, I did see your email, and have plans on responding in full on Monday... this weekend is difficult to sit down and concentrate, as I have a house full of family and a huge blizzard barrelling down on us. If I survive the weekend (not the snow, but the kids) it will be a...

    Interpol Video: Evil Puppet

    Yes it's a puppet........ but it creeps me out, man. It doesn't have any upper teeth. Weird. Anyway, thanks for that, I'll be waking up screaming for a few days because of it. -Jim

    Looking for puppeteers in the NYC/Long Island area

    Hello all. Okay, here's the deal.... I do not have any solid dates as of yet, but it is better to start early than late, I always say. I am producing a new children's television show that is puppet based. It is a pilot, and is being funded by me personally. I will be upfront and say...
