Have some copy paste after the break from Mic about the requirements!
"Hello Fillies and Gentlecolts! Mic The Microphone here with some exciting news!
I've just finished writing and ironing out the first installment of my new project: EPIC PONY RAP BATTLES OF EQUESTRIA (Thanks to Desert Rein and all the folks at the Canterlot.net forums for the idea for the name!). The first Battle to be posted: Twilight Sparkle VS The Great and Powerful Trixie! I've got the rap written, the beat made, but I've hit one major snag: I LACK VOICE ACTORS.
Specifically, I need voice actors for Twilight Sparkle and Trixie. Even with my vocal range, I lack the.... Skill.... to portray female voices that don't sound like chain-smoking diner waitresses fresh out of a 60's Detective Noir Film. As such, I NEED VOICE ACTORS FOR THIS RAP BATTLE.
Requirements:
1) Decent Mic Quality: This I can work around if you're especially talented, but I'm looking for people with half decent mics so the quality matches between character switches.
2) Rap Ability: I'm VERY picky about this. I don't need you to be able to rap fast, per se, but I DO need you to have a good concept of flow and timing. I'll also need you to be able to mimic the style and flow of this rap EXACTLY as I do. I'll be more than happy to teach some of the tricks I use, so don't fret. I will work with you!
3) Reliable and Quick Output: I work at an abnormally fast pace, so much so that my parents and teachers often worry about me. It's kind of.... Shocking. At any rate, I'd need to be in contact with you on a very frequent basis in order to track your progress and make sure you're doing alright while not taking too long to get things done ^^;. This just means I'd need to have you on skype or a messenger.
4) Repeat Availability: I'm not gonna lie. Reliable, talented female voice actors are hard for me to come by. If I like your voice, I will more than likely ask for you to return for future Epic Pony Rap Battles. IF you are chosen (Though this is NOT mandatory), I'd like to ask to keep you on staff as a performer in case I need you again in the future.
Final Note: To all Male Voice Actors, Im sorry, but I DO NOT NEED MALE VOICE ACTORS FOR THE MALE CHARACTERS. I'm somewhat confident in my ability to do most, if not all of the male characters I plan to use in match ups. In the event I DO need a male voice actor, chances are I've already got one lined up for use, so unless you can do one of the girl's voices from the show, male voice actors are not needed.
If you are interested in participating, please send me an E-Mail with your Skype or preferred messenger contact and a vocal audition at: [email protected]. I look forward to your auditions! -Mic The Microphone"

MTM makes awesome raps, and I don't even like rap...

ReplyDeletelol
Hah, Epic Rap Battles is hilarious. I love those.
ReplyDeleteFemale rappers do indeed seem a bit rare, but there has to be some lurking around out there... somewhere. lol I'd try,but I really don't like my voice and don't think I could pull it off. So I'm going to have to pass. Hopefully you find some, Mic. This is an awesome idea.
I can't wait to hear this when it's completed. A ponified Epic Rap Battles? Yes please! :D
Muffin?
ReplyDeleteFemale rappers who are also Bronies/Pegasisters?
ReplyDeleteLet the hunt begin!
Cats Millionaire should do this.
ReplyDeletelol, Mic tryin get his Biggie-ghostwriting-for-Lil-Kim on
ReplyDeleteand yea, considering how ridiculously rare Femcees tend to be, good luck...
ReplyDeleteI don't know, this fandom has surprised me over and over again so I don't think finding somepony who fit will be impossible, just challenging..
ReplyDeleteSadly I sound like a creepy pedophile every time I try and do a female voice so I'm out. I'd love to join in but MtM is hoggin all 3 male voices. And yes one of those 3 is the announcer. (I joke of course)
ReplyDeleteHmm, I've never (seriously, anyway) tried to rap before but there's a first for everything I guess.
ReplyDeleteWhy oh why does the quality of my mic suck?
ReplyDelete@Dova13, mine does too. Just tried to record something and it sounded like my cat scratching a CD. D'oh!
ReplyDeleteAw man, I just spin records, literally. I dont do mic work. Though I do know female MC's.. yeah, I doubt they're brony. Or affordable. Damn.
ReplyDeleteMan that is awesome. If I were female I'd totally lend my talents.
ReplyDeleteI can't rap for the life of me (female here)!
ReplyDeleteI think "Klangfarbenmelodie" is a most excellent use of German's word-building system.
ReplyDelete> doing all the male voices by himself
ReplyDelete> mfw I remember this is a female-dominant show
That's... actually more reasonable than I first thought.
@Tosxychor
ReplyDeleteYeah. Most of the male voices are well within my range. :P
This completely misses the point of the ERBOH. It doesn't work if they both not only exist at the same time in the same place, but also know each other. Also, I bet that it's going to just sound like a generic 90's rap battle instead of sounding like an actual ERBOH.
ReplyDeleteA few days ago in college I was watching some of the Rap Battle vids with a friend on their laptop, and I threw out a verbal comment/suggestion on how cool it'd be if they made one with ponies xD
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, I'm very excited now! CB
I was in his live stream when he did the demo for Lulz. Fucking amazing, can't wait to hear this with female voices!
ReplyDeleteI rap decently well and have an amazing quality mic. Perhaps I'll audition for this endeavor.
ReplyDeleteA pony ERBOH? That sure sounds epic.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm worried that Dr. Robotnik might be right ("I bet that it's going to just sound like a generic 90's rap battle instead of sounding like an actual ERBOH.").
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI'm doing my very best as is to try and keep true to the style. Whereas yes, the matchups are what ultimately make make ERBOH as great as it is, I have faith that me and my team can do this.
As I've said, I have the entire first battle done, and so far I've gotten good responses. I'm going to keep up with that steam and not deviate too far from the basic frame I'm working in so as to avoid making it sound like a generic 90's rap battle.
Again, I'm giving it my all, but I'll let you all be the judge.
@Dr. Robotnik
ReplyDeleteI'm doing my best to avoid that. I have to agree with you that it may not be anywhere near as good as the traditional ERBOH, but believe me when I say I'm giving it my all. I hope to pleasantly surprise you at the very least.
@Mic
ReplyDeleteSorry for doubting you, but I'm still unclear on what your intentions are. Are you going to be mimicking the style of the ERBOH or are you going to be doing your own thing? Also, my worries stem from when the following happened a couple months ago:

@Dr. Robotnik
ReplyDeleteAs for the style of how ERBOH does there stuff, I'm sticking to that style as closely as humanly possible. I'm not just doing my own thing by any means. From the way the raps are structured down to the music, I'm making this a proper emulation.
I remember seeing that video you linked and thinking to myself, "Wow. This is painful. :I" But trust me when I say I am not half-assing this in any way, shape or form. If you want a demo, feel free to drop me an email and I'll send you a recording:
