Well, if I can obtain a mike, I wouldn't mind acting like a guest commentator.

Bobby Heenan, eat your heart out  :P

Sure, send me a little audition thing (Commentate on any match you want) and I'll decide if you can commentate.

By the way, what will happen is each person will do one heat each, so we'll get like 3-8 people, and they'll take it in turns to commentate on a RW episode.

Well, if I can obtain a mike, I wouldn't mind acting like a guest commentator.

YES. YES. GET A MICROPHONE. GET 20. I'LL SEND YOU ONE. I'LL SEND YOU 20. I'LL SEND YOU ALL MY BABIES. 400 BABIES. 900 BABIES. TWELVE THOUSAND BABIES.

If I had a mic I could be the most pessimistic and cynical commentator ever.
What's wrong with JP's commentary's anyway?

That's a point, actually. If it was dubbing over Stefan Frank's commentary, that's better.

But to be honest, Jayne Middlemiss was like Philippa compared to the American Pit Reporters.

No mic, but I'd love to commentate. I'd have to do the RWEW ones though because I'm from the States, (Because I know most of the builder's names and a guy from the US commentating on a British show? IMPOSSIBLE! The only problem would be that there are like 3 RWEW episodes on Youtube) but besides that...

I don't have a mic but I'm highly temped to get one for this.  Stefan Frank narrated the American broadcast of Series 4, maybe I could do Stefan commentating on the other series.

Also, maybe someone could do an English narration of Dutch Robot Wars.

Yeah, a dub for the German and Dutch RW's will be the highest on my agenda. I'm gonna get a list of all who want to be part of this now, And the first episodes will be decided on April 1st.

Guys please get your mic or webcam real quick. 4 days to get a webcam, and they're only 5-15$/£ at a Walmart or Tescos.

Don't put my name on the list if you're starting before May; that's the absolute soonest I can get anything done.

I can write for someone though.

We'll start mid-April then. You'll start on the Dutch Dub.

Ok, but I'm warning you, I'm not going to have any finished product till May.  Should I do American or fake-British?  And can I make pop culture references that wouldn't have made any sense at the original time of broadcast (Like Lady Gag stuff for example?)

Have mic, considering commentating.

Best idea you've ever had.

Can I just write up a commentary for a few RWUSA heats and send them to you? I won't be able to get a mic anytime in the near future and my voice sounds like crap when recorded.

I miss the Australian commentary for the International League.. :/ no videos ever surfaced on the internet to my knowledge and the VHS I taped it on all those many years ago is long gone..

We got JP for all the regular series..

I have slight problem:
I have a webcam with mic and everything but when i try and record anything it all becomes like 2FPS and is too slow.
Even worse with Youtube vids, it happens as i record D:
So i shall hopefully get a mic and test it soon

Can you set it to produce audio files rather than videos?  You could have someone put the audio on top of the video for you.

Hmm...
Not sure about that because i have a ghey logitech webcam which took me 20 hours figuring out how to try and record something.
Stupid thing wont let me record straight to the computer...
Well anyway i might have a mic somewhere but if you know how to help with the webcam then please do :P

Great! Choose any random fight you like, and commentate on it! Then, if it's good enough, I'll have you join the team.

Hey FOTy, want you to know that I haven't forgotten about this, but I've lost my voice so I can't do any recording for a while (It'll get better I promise)

I'm having trouble deciding which commentator I should be, my words are sophisticated like an englishman, but my voice and accent is undeniably American.  What should I do?
