- Joe and Mable is in
pre-production and we are ready to record your cameo appearance.
The episode where you appear is attached (see download links at
the bottom of the page). We hope you get a good laugh out of it.
We are planning to pre-launch Joe and Mable in mid January,
2004. The airing of the weekly episodes will begin Monday,
March 1st.
Your episode number (there are 12 in a cycle) is indicated at
the head of your script.
RECORDING: HERE IS WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO...
1) Please take a look at the Joe and Mable site:
-
- NEXT...
2) Please listen to the beginning episode.
- This beginning episode is the
'foundation' episode. It gives listeners a context for the
entire series
insert url
This will give you the context of what Joe and Mable is all about.
-
- NEXT...
3) Please review your script.
Your script has already been recorded except for your part, which we will insert
into the episode in the sound mix stage.
Please feel free to change the wording for your part so it suits your own voice
pattern. However, in order to keep the comedy on
"pace", try to keep the same length of dialogue (roughly
speaking).
Please note: Your parts (in your script) have been marked in red.
-
- NEXT...
4) Please record your part by dialling:
800-604-4006 (US)
678-255-2173 (international callers)
Please insert the following ID after the prompt:
9870023
Press 1 to make a recording and then follow the system instructions.
-
- In addition it's important that
you follow the instructions (below) when you record. We're
working across the world here with Joe and Mable (with different time
zones and telephony systems).
-
- The process (below) makes it much
easier for our sound people to get your part right when they mix
it into the episode.
FIRST...
Clearly identify yourself by
name + Take #1... Take #2 etc...
THEN...
- LEAVE a couple of seconds of
silence at the beginning.
-
- THEN...
- Do your recording.
-
- THEN...
- LEAVE a couple of seconds of
silence at the end.
-
- If you don't like what you hear
on the playback just do it again.
Feel free to make as many recordings of your part as you like until you feel
comfortable with it.
Don't worry about mistakes and screw ups. As long as we have a couple of takes of
your part, we'll have enough audio material for our sound people
to work with and get it right (the wonders of technology).
-
- And last (but not least)...
relax, get loose.
Don't act.
- Just have fun with it !! This is
a comedy.
5) Contact us when you've completed your recording.
-
- Once you have recorded your
cameo part for your episode, please let us know by dropping Jane
Mark a line at: jpethanks@jpeads.com.
We will listen to it and get back to you if there are any problems.
If you have any questions about the episode in which you
"appear", please do not hesitate to call us at 001 618-8376-6086
and we
will go over your part with you.
... or email me at jpethanks@jpeads.com
... Or give us your phone number (and a
good time to call) and we will phone you.
We have played the beginning lead-in
episode to a few people and have had them rolling on the floor, so we believe
Joe and Mable are well on their way
to creating internet history and we
are looking forward to working with you
on this most unique project.
AFTER YOU'VE COMPLETED YOUR RECORDING....
WE NEED THE WEBSITE YOU WANT TO PROMOTE
On the date your episode is scheduled
to appear, The Narrator of the show, Kenneth
Doyle, directs the listeners into the showcase to "Meet Our Guest Star,
____".
There will be a link to a page called
"The Joe and Mable Showcase" and
a picture of you, together with whatever
link you want to promote.
Note: Your picture and website will
remain permanently on the Joe and
Mable website in a section called
"Backstage with the Stars".
PROMOTION: HERE IS WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU...
1) A picture of you that we can use in the showcase.
The size of this pic should be a minimum of 130 by
150 pixels.
2) The website you want to promote with a Joe and Mable affiliate link for us to use.
3) A two or three line bio that we can put right under the picture of you. This can be a real bio, or a funny one, or a lead in
to your website, or whatever you like.
4) Two mailings done to your list/ s. One to be done in pre-launch stage and
the other prior to your scheduled appearance (to let your members know about this
net first and your featured cameo appearance on it).
Please let us know the dates on which
you plan to do your two mailings. Email Jane Mark
with the dates (see the PDF checklist).
-
- We will send you a reminder notice one
week prior to the mailing date.
Refer to the attached ad recommendation
which we have prepared for your convenience. Feel free to change it in any
way you like.
There is some urgency with this since once we receive your recording, it takes
time for
our sound people to complete the mix and integrate your audio into
your episode.
We would appreciate it if you could complete your audio recording as quickly as possible, as well as getting
the info on the website that you want to promote back to us
quickly.
We are completely convinced that Mable
will get to Paris with the Joe and Mable
show and we are so delighted you are
coming with us. See you at the Eiffel Tower for fireworks next New Year's
Eve !!
Thank you for being part of the internet's
first marketing "soap opera".
Attached is:
1) A check list for your convenience and 2) Ad recommendation to send to your
lists (both in the one PDF file). DOWNLOAD HERE:

- You should have received the
script for your episode in the email you've been sent by Jane
