  1. #1 "Go the Distance" from Disney's Hercules - Fandub in Ancient Greek 
    PROJECT INFO:
    I am looking for a young singer to perform an adaptation of "Go the Distance" from Disney's Hercules in a rather appropriate language: ancient/classical Greek. A male performer is preferred, though I fear officially excluding females might doom this project entirely, given the lack of male response to my previous postings. Some prior knowledge of the language is preferred, but instruction on pronunciation (including full IPA transcription if desired) will be provided if you have none but are still interested in the project. The lyrics are based on the pop version by Michael Bolton.

    A comprehensive pronunciation guide can be found at http://www.hsmespanol.com/Archaia_Hellenike_Phone.jpg

    DEADLINE: May 30, 2012

    RECORDING FORMAT/DELIVERY: 16-bit Stereo MP3 sent as an attachment to linguaphile@earthlink.net (with prior notification of intent to audition on this thread), including "CAG Hercules Audition" in the subject (in case you're curious, the "CAG" stands for "classical Attic Greek").

    Audition Verse (with line-by-line Roman-alphabet transcriptions and English counterparts for synchronization)

    Ἔνθα ποθ' ἥξω. (Entha pot' hexo. - I'll be there someday.)
    Τὴν ὁδόν πως τελῶ. (Ten hodon pos telo - I can go the distance.)
    Τρόπον εὑρήσω (Tropon heureso - I will find my way)
    ἐᾱ̀ν μέγας ῶ. (Ean megas o. - If I can be strong.)
    Ἀξιῶ τοῦ χρόνου (Axio tou chronou - I know every mile)
    πᾶν σταδίον οῦν, (Pan stadion oun - Will be worth my while.)
    μέχρι ἥκω ὅπου (Mechri heko hopou - When I go the distance,
    ἀληθῶς πρέπῃ μ'εῖναι (Alethos prepei m'einai. - I'll be right where I belong.)


    Thanks in advance for your participation!

    ooh, I'm interested in this, I'll think I'll give it a bash later today!

    Edit: I have had to change the romanisation pronouciation of it other wise I'l say it wrong! XD

    Here's what I'll be singing - I used the chart for romanisation help.

    Aintha pot hikes-oar
    Tenn horde-dun poss tille-oar
    True-pon hai-oo-race-soar
    I-ann may-gass oar
    Ix-oi too kroh-no
    Pain ss-taidion on
    May-khri hecho hop-on
    I-le-thorss pray-peigh mhain-eye


    If you translated any other of the Hercules songs - I wouldn't mind trying out for them.

    I want to thank everyone who auditioned! There are many lovely voices here, but as you know, only one can win the prize (at least, for this particular project). I've given this role to a young woman named Lauren. Though you won't see anything from her on this thread, she did send me an audition via e-mail. I look forward to publishing her work both here and on my YouTube channel.
