I have been following the discussions on several boards looking for talk of sounds and voices. Places like AWN of course and cgchat.com, cgtalk.com, flashkit.com It seems that all the talk is of the picture - the visual. But as George Lucas was once heard to say "sound is half the picture." Does this mean that the people who frequent these discussion areas are only those concerned with the visuals? Or 'are' there people working on the whole project talking somwhere about what voices to use and sounds to create or design and I just have not found them?
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may offer.
Cheers.

This is a great topic. It'd be nice if this or any of the forums you mention had discussion areas about sound, voice, and music. I'm aware of a few books available out there, but haven't really dug into this much as I'm often busy with the other parts of the work (or my day job).
My dialogue thus far has been recorded with the help of a friend and the coaching he has offered. Sometimes I just work it out on my own. But that's just a piece of the puzzle, and I hardly have time to think about ambient sound, music, effects, etc.
There's an interesting program on NPR called SoundPrint that occassionally has material in this direction, but usually related to something else.

I do all of the sound on my own animations.What is it you need to know? You can check out my short here. http://www.ramonesworld.com/gogojohnnykill/
It's an MPEG-4 and around 28 megs so it's pretty big. I'm not a professional
but I can tell you MY way of creating sound.
