After receiving a request from a listener that I relaunch the Hellmouth Empire forums, I decided it was worth asking the listeners. The weekly poll has been up for, well about a week, and the response was nearly unanimous.

So I am happy to announce the Hellmouth Empire Forums have relaunched!

You can find the forums here, or click on the link in the menu at the top of the site.

If you have any problems registering please feel free to email me at hellmouthpodcast@gmail.com

Hello Sunnydale! One of the HMPC listeners, Jenny, mentioned earlier today on the Facebook page that we are very near the 100 fans mark on the Facebook page. That lead to the 10.1 Project. Check out the video to find out more.

I know there are tons of buffy fans out there who are looking for a great buffy podcast and just haven’t found the Hellmouth Podcast yet. I need your help to find them and tell them about the Hellmouth Podcast!

Hello Hellmouth Podcast listeners. I realize that we are still a ways off from the Once More With Feeling episode but seeing as how it was such a defining moment in television, paving the way for countless imitations and because it is such a beloved Buffy episode I thought the Hellmouth Podcast should do it’s own tribute. Here is the Hellmouth Podcast Once More With Feeling project.

I have found audio tracks for the following songs from the show:

• Going Through The Motions
• Under Your Spell
• I’ll Never Tell
• Rest In Peace
• Something To Sing About

Here is my plan, I want all of you to record yourselves singing all or part of these songs and send them to me. I am then going to edit all the submissions together and create our own Hellmouth Podcast soundtrack to Once More With Feeling featuring the voices of all of the Hellmouth Podcast listeners. I will release the songs through the Hellmouth Podcast on iTunes and the website so that we can all enjoy them.

Note to all of you who have just found the podcast! If you just found the podcast and are concerned that you have missed your chance with this project, don’t be concerned at all. I plan on releasing many different versions based on however many people submit their voices. Send them in and I will include them at any time.

So here is what I am looking for from everyone:

• Sing every song or pick one
• Sing the whole song or just part of one
• Sing melody or harmony
• Don’t worry if you don’t have the greatest singing voice, this if for fun!

I am bringing this up now because the amount of editing this is going to require will take me some time so I wanted to get a head start on getting the first round of songs released.

How To Record Yourself

Here is what I recommend. Find some way to listen to the songs through headphones, if you own the soundtrack this is pretty simple, otherwise if you have the DVDs or Netflix you can run that through a pair of headphones. While listening to the music through headphones, record yourself on your computer or other digital recording device. If you have some kind of microphone for your computer this will work best, some computers come with a built in microphone, this will work as well (sound quality may not be as good).

It is important that the recording you send me has just your voice singing and not the score (music). I would also prefer that the files be in .mp3 format as much as possible. I will then take all the recorded voices and add them all together to create the completed song.

Depending on the file size, you may or may not be able to email it to me directly but you can certainly try at hellmouthpodcast@gmail.com. If that doesn’t work you can upload it directly to the Hellmouth Podcast website and I will work with each of you one on one to get that accomplished.

In addition, if you know of a place where I can buy the remaining song’s audio tracks without the vocals, let me know.

Remember, this is just for fun and I would like as many people as possible to participate. Even my voice will be in there. If you have any questions about any of this, don’t hesitate to call the Hellmouth Hotline or send me an email.

Update:

Hi all, just wanted to post another update regarding the next HMPC episode. Mrs. Hellmouth has been in the hospital since Friday. Needless to say I have been ver distracted and recording for the podcast is on hold until she is back home. No expected date for her return, will keep all posted.

Original Post:

Hello Hellmouth Podcast listeners. I just wanted to throw a quick update up on the website to let everyone know that I have had a family emergency this week that is going to delay the release of the podcast for the Season 2 finale.

I have not forgotten all of you and I will get the podcast out as soon as possible but I wanted to let everyone know that there will be a bit of a delay.

I will update the website when I have an idea as to when the podcast will be up, I am hoping by the end of this upcoming week.

Thanks,

Bryan
