I probably will. Perhaps my brother and I could do a scene between Connie and Eugene.

She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven. And when we go to heaven she'll be there to greet us. She'll be there to say "Welcome home." -From a poem that SnC wrote about her grandmother

I wish I could... but I have no one I can do it with. :( I could monologue, but I'd have to um... choose wisely, as they say? I'll think about it. I'd love every album... but I know I'd lose anyway... ugh...

Loved the example clips in the Official Podcast, especially the Isaac the Chivalrous scene. Between the high bar set by the examples and the massive prize, I know we can look forward to many quality entries!

My little sister and I are planning to enter. Since there aren't that many little kids in Odyssey, we're going to do the scene in "A Lamb's Tale" when Tamika decides to let Sam keep her lamb. I'm Tamika and she's Sam. She sounds just like her!

Not me, for a couple of reasons. First, I don't have a video camera. Second, I don't know anybody that shares my interest in AIO. With people entering from around the world, I would not win anyway.

Thinking about entering...maybe. Even if it's just me acting with...myself...I can edit it together to make it look like two people....acquiring a camera is problematic however.

I think the prize is fantastic! I don't know any people outside my family (and ToOers) who even care about Odyssey in any positive magnitude. I also am no actor. But I want to try anyway because I like the prize! Perhaps I could team up with you, Bob Booth, and record myself doing one half the action. You could record your character, and one of us could edit them together! Maybe...

haha..that would be cool. I think if I do anything it will be a BTV or Kid's Radio. That way I won't have to try to impersonate the characters exactly.

You don't have to have a video camera. If I did it, I'd use my camera that will take any number of minutes long of a video. Video camera is better, but you work with what you got.

It would actually be a really fun idea to do a massive collaboration video with the ToOers that all wanted to.

It could be a BTV episode, and we could assign different parts to different ToOers that wanted to be involved, and then someone could edit it all together.

That would actually be a fun idea, I think.

If I was a good actor, I would join the contest. The prize is out of this world! \:D/

Yeah, it is. But if we won, who'd get the album? I reached a new rank, in disguise!

My siblings and I are going to do a scene from The Mailman Cometh. Unfortuneately though, I don't get to play Wooton because I have to be Elaine. If my siblings back out of it whatever reason, I've decided that I could do the scene from Nothing But the Half Truth where Wooton tries to record his answering machine message. I might just do that and let them do something different if they don't mind.

Well, that would probably be a little weird having a lady Wooton, anyway. :)

Still trying to find a good scene to do. . . and deciding if we have TIME to do it! (I really want to, though)
