Yes, that's right, by far the #1 question I've been asked time and again over the past year. And the answer is, yes, I am going to do the audioplay adaptation of  rukis's Unconditional.

I have to say, I wasn't ready to make the announcement this early. I wanted to wait at least until after my radioplay for Fox News was done, but I've gotten this question so many times that I didn't think it was fair to keep you guys waiting for an answer any longer. I just didn't feel comfortable keeping quiet about it anymore. So yes, safe to say, I am going to do Unconditional. :)

I want to stress that I'm only going to do it AFTER Fox News is done. Voice over-wise, Fox News is the most important thing to me at the moment and it's the radioplay adaptation I'm currently invested in. Once it's finished, then I can work on Unconditional.

Now here are a couple issues.

One, I...don't actually have the graphic novel. Yeah, I don't...own Unconditional. :-P I guess I just haven't gotten around to buying it. It hasn't really been a priority, so...yeah, I don't have it. :P And for that matter, I don't have Red Lantern, either.

Second,  foxamoore, who composed the immensely beautiful theme song for Cruelty two years ago has...not made anything for Unconditional. And I don't know if he's going to. If I'm going to do Unconditional, I'd really love to have him on board with a new theme song composed for it. So I guess we'll have to see what happens with that.

Third,  osfer (who voiced multiple characters in Cruelty) who has been my main and faithful collaborator has been incredibly busy with stuff in his real life. So much so, that he hasn't really had much time to devote to the furry fandom lately. As such, I haven't talked to him in months. If I'm going to do Unconditional, I really want him on board with me as well. I mean seriously, who would be better than HIM at voicing fucking LOOOOUUUU?! You guys can't handle ALL THIS! :D

Fourth, there might be some cast changes this time around. For instance, I'm very interested in voicing Marcus Laramie this time around, because I personally think he's become the more interesting character. Like, really. I adore Marcus. I'm not saying that this will actually happen; I'm merely saying I'm interested in playing him.. In all likelyhood, I'll probably end up voicing Reis again. Next, I really want to bring  lace in this time around as well. After Marcus' original voice actor dropped out,  lace was the guy I was talking to about voicng the character until  savrin took the role. So yeah, it'd be great to have him on board this time around.

Fifth, I think (or at least hope) my voice over work has gotten a lot better since Cruelty. In terms of acting, editing and direction, I think I've improved a lot over what I could do two years ago. And I want reflect that in Unconditional. If I'm gonna do this adaptation, I want it to be in every way better than Cruelty, because looking back on it, I think it could have been better, though I am of course happy that it exists. I just want it to have a substantial leap of improvement; the same kind that Rukis herself showed when making the graphic novel, becasue it is a lot better. I want this radioplay to be so much better. That's why it's so important for me to hold off until after Fox News is done, because I have to be completely ready and fully invested in this thing. I hope you guys understand.

So, yeah. With that, I've got a projected release date of May 25th, 2013. That should give  foxamoore and  osfer enough time to catch up with their stuff, so they can hopefully be part of this. I certainly hope so. So yeah, here's to Unconditional. I just...still need to get the graphic novel first. :P
