YES! Zwollie I've always said 'get on Sackcast!' Now you're actually trying! But really everyone, you should let Zwollie on just so he can do his impressions.

Well we have quite a few wanting the new position so we have a task to prove who is best for the job:

We simply want you to record a 1-2 min audio clip of you talking about a LBP topic. If you can't think of any here are a few suggestions:

'Bomb Survivals and the Best Way to Play Them'

'The Two Types of Floaty and Tinfoil the Card Metal'

'Little Big Etiquette - How to and not to gad about Littlebigplanet'


Upload your clips to a filehosting site and send the link to me by PM.

I await your recordings with eager anticipation

So basically talking to ourselves? Okidoki, if you say so!!
Would be fun if you could send an invite on skype to all the participants and test it out in conversation since the sackcast is never a "one voice job".
The fun about this podcast is the interaction of the members and an enviroment I personally work best in.

EDIT: I'll do it as soon as I can, might be over the weekend since I have some stuff to do right now and my cast gets off tomorrow (hurray for that one, btw)

I have to agree, it's honestly not the same when you're alone. But I'll do what I must. I'll prepare a clip shortly; just hope I don't get locked up in an asylum

Good luck to all my competitors. May the best conversationalist win.

No I wouldn't, if I wanted to do that I would just start my own podcast called Kuzcotop..I mean Zwoltopia!!

This is not supossed to be the lame comedy hour, it is a podcast about LBP. I adapt to my surroundings, not to say I wouldn't insert the odd lame joke here and there though.

Well it certainly seems like Zwollie is the favorite

I'm still awaiting audio snippets so i'm not going to set a deadline quite yet since i have a busy weekend so I'll need to see if even i have time to go through them but i imagine it'll be sometime next week I'll cut this off.

Good luck all!

p.s Crush Zwollie with your united voices muahahahhaha *cough* sorry did someone say something

idk about anyone else but I've been graced with Zwollie's impressions and sense of humor on many occasions and he's hilarious, witty, and a fantastic conversationalist. SLS10 is really funny too.

K - that's my 2 cents. Good Luck everyone!

Name: John Livingston AKA Fullgorr
Age: 17
Reason to join SackCast: I love podcasts (listen to several a week) and am a very active LittleBigPlanet community member. I am a genuinely funny person who could add my own Canadian flavour onto the podcast. On second thought, that wouldn't taste too good. I'm sure everyone would enjoy my voice caressing their ears if I am chosen.
Can meet all requirements (yes/no): Yeppers!
Anything else: I hope you consider me, I have a decent knowledge of audacity and am a very experienced LBP creator. Cheers!

I've done it!

I've sent in my audio clip.

Unfortunately, due to size restrictions (gosh darn Hotmail) I had to create a smaller file size, and, therefore, had to record a completely different audition file.

But hey, this one has beatboxing in it. From me!

Can someone please put up all of these after the person has been chosen? I have a feeling they will be hilarious and who doesn't want to hear SLS10 beatbox?2010-01-17 22:53:00

I'm not so sure if I want my audition to be made public but on the other hand...I'm dying to hear some beatboxing out of SLS10.

@ SLS10: Rapidshare, Yousendit, Sendfile, ect..., are all free and can be used to upload files to 100 mb so you can send your longer audition.

NameOAcireXO

Age: 26

Reason to join SackCast: Well because I have all the skills mentioned, plus I'm absolutely addicted to LBP and would love to contribute to the community in any way possible. While I have a lot to learn, I do believe that becoming a member of the SackCast team will add on to my present knowledge of LBP.

Can meet all requirements (yes/no): Yes, The only thing that would hinder the requirements for the SackCast Team would be that I am still a fairly new creator, but I am doing my studying. I am a web designer, and a life coach, so I can design, and I can speak (with a very high vocabulary) I'm in collage so linguistics are my thing, when I'm not in a hurry to finish. I have ample time on my hands, because I run my own businesses and hardly ever sleep, so I believe that I might have the requirements for this job

Anything else: If not speaking, I'll be willing to write blogs and test levels. I don't have many posts but check out what's going on in the community daily.

You want to hear my audition? The beatboxing is only in the background of the audio clip as I talk "my origins."

I suppose I could upload it to one of your silly websites and share it later.

My questions is why can't there be 2 or 3 new members? Zwollie and I could face off in a rap battle while SLS10 beatbox's.
