We booked a slot in the radio studio to record, as having finalised the outlines and briefing of the script and our respective parts to play. However the issue still stood that we were unsure of how to progress with the first scene, for the characters of Gary, Jay and Simon, and were wondering as to whether to get other actors in for it. After dabbling with various accents and natural tones of voice, we finally settled on pitch shifting the characters of Jay and Simon in the editing and to borrow someone for the larger part of Gary. When it came to the major characters, the first thing we did was have a few dry run throughs, getting to grips with not only the script but with the types of people we were to be portraying, allowing ourselves to adlib in practice and play about with accent and sociolect to aid a more realistic and natural portrayal.
Using Soundtrack Pro, we set ourselves up a separate folder to record all our tracks into one place, not to lose anything, and by our third listen back of recording we found our portrayals much more in tune with the characters at hand.
Admittedly we did find issue with recording levels and equipent but after some playing around we managed to record our script without issue.
