Now that the script is finished and we are able to start recording for actual submission, what would be the best way to do the recordings?
Should it be one larger master file with all the lines for a particular character combined, or should it be done as many small files, with one line per file.
I suppose that the latter would be easier for editing work, but be a little bit more fiddly during the actual recording and submission.

Hm... I guess the script should have the lines numbered. Then we could record the "one line per file" files and just name it the number of the line. It should make editing easier.

I submitted all of my work a separate lines, not that that's right necessarily just that's the way I did it. Also I made them mp3, I love audacity but hate my voice, but voice work is what I aspire to don't ask me why! I'm crazy!

I have something like 87 lines, I don't think I'm going to record them all separately... But who knows?

I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to do editing, and I can say it's a lot easier to record a small group of 2-3 lines but leave a little pause between each. If it's easier for you to do each line individually, I'm fine with that. Be sure to keep consistent quality and volume if possible. One of the most annoying things is to have to have 4 tracks for voice acting instead of 1-2 because of some people's inconsistent volume that I had to fix.
Number each group of lines or line with name of production, character, episode number, scene number, and line number. It keeps track of all the lines you've done very easily, plus I know whose lines I'm getting and which production I'm editing for.
For example:
torchwoodbonbonepisode1scene3line1
If I'm not editing, I think this method still works pretty well.
EDIT-PLEASE break up groups of lines scene by scene! Don't just record all your lines from the entire script into one giant file because when I break down everything scene by scene, that's TONS more work for me to break up your files and try to find where each scene ends.

We just need to keep in mind line numbering when writing the next script. Arthur said that he tried a quick fix with this one, but it didn't work out.
Ah, whatever. I got free time and I suck at drawing. I'm gonna number the lines.

This is a learning experience for all. I'm doing each line individually, and labelling them clearly as to which line is each. E.G. Episode 01 Scene 01 Line 01 - Not Quite, but honestly, could an animal dress this nice? Episode 01 Scene 01 Line 02 - That's good. Very good. It's always good to keep up with your ghost stories..
From episode 2 it would be good to number the lines on the script to make it easier to keep everything in order.

Let me know if what I did was a problem, I think mine sounded like the same volume, but what it feels like and actually was may have differed for all I know. I may be new to voice acting, but I want to get good at; or at least as good as I can being all poor with a webcam mic and no pop filter ^_- My cousin Carl did a voice for one of the worm guys in Men in Black and want to be better then him someday!

I just did it all as one file for one of my characters and another as my other one. I did leave a small pause between each line, though.
