Media presence

Ok, name has been chosen, so that's over. We also already have a Reddit account by the same name, so that makes my life a bit easier. Now the next step it to figure out how we're going to do auditions. The first order of business there should be deciding what we want to use as the audition script. I propose this:

Here's an idea!

If you’re watching this, then there is a fairly good chance you’ve heard about The Legend of Zelda at some point; young man with a green hat, “it’s dangerous to go alone”, there’s a princess, she's usually in danger, usually set in Hyrule, the goal is to defeat the evil Ganon.

Breath of the Wild is the most recent sequel and it’s a little different - you’re in a world with no seat belts; climbing, gliding, and exploring freely. Well received by critics and fans alike, Breath of the Wild is arguably Zelda at its best. But why? What makes the game that goes against the traditional structure of Zelda such a great example of the series as a whole?

To answer that we need to understand concept distillation....

Distillation, you mean like water and chemistry? Well, exactly yeah! When we think of the distillation of water, we think of turning questionable source material into that pure pure good stuff we get at the end of the process. We boil the h2o into steam, leaving behind the imperfections, the extra dirt and non-water stuff, and condense it back into drinkable liquid water.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild is a prime example of concept distillation.

What do you guys think?

This is just a copy and paste of the more important parts from the start of the script. Feel free to suggest additions, modifications, deletions or even a completely different script, because I'm no writer put I'm definitely good and copy pasta (just don't tell my university profs )!

If no one has any objections, I'm going to post this in about half an hour.

Mace: I added your suggestions, and I'll keep the auditions open for two weeks.

Summary: We are going to use the script in the post above, all submissions will be done by uploading through soundcloud and then sending us the link (either with a reddit comment or through email, but preferable reddit). Submissions can be submitted up to two weeks after the post is made. After the two weeks are up, we will check out the most liked soundcloud clips and decide on which person we want to have as host from that.

Posted this earlier today on the Discord, figured it might be worth putting up here for a quick proofread before we send this off from /u/ideaproject.




I feel like it's too formal. Is it too formal? Been writing a lot of cover letters recently, might have bled in.


Also, if we're really serious about this - We might want to look into contacting Mike directly about a quick shoutout or something. We should also probably do something about the facebook and IRC groups.
