Help Wanted

We need help. Probably always will. If you feel you can help us in any of these capacities, or that you have something else you can contribute to the project, please contact us at starshipexcelsior@protonmail.com. Here's the list of open positions:

Vignette Scripts

Starship Excelsior invites the general public to submit scripts for short, 5-10 minute episodes, which we produce on a regular basis. Visit the Script Submissions page for details.

Auditions

Auditions for Starship Excelsior are permanently open to anyone who wants to try out. Jump over to the Auditions page for information.

Minor Character Designs

As Starship Excelsior makes the leap into the world of motion comics, there are a lot of background characters who need a face and a shape. We'd like you -- yes, you -- to help. You don't need to be an artistic genius; access to the free Star Trek Online character creator is quite sufficient. Visit the Character Design page to find out more.

Audio Engineer

Contrary to popular belief, the majority of work on Excelsior is not the writing or the acting or the organizing. The biggest, most important work on the show is done by our wonderful team of post-production audio engineers. The audio engineer's job is to take the dialogue we get from the actors, combine it into a scene, and then add special effects, from the nearly unnoticeable background hum in the corridors to the phasers and torpedoes and explosions of a pitched battle. It's part skill, part art, and part dedication. And our team needs new members. If you join up, you can work as little as one scene per episode or as many as you're able. We provide basic training and constant feedback, so you will grow in skill as you work with us.

The only thing you need is Adobe Audition, including any of the older versions (even Cool Edit Pro)! Comparable software, such as Reaper, is acceptable. We'd love to have you join us. Contact James Heaney and Jim Smagata at starshipexcelsior@protonmail.com at any time.

Here are a couple of videos we sometimes use in our audio engineer orientation:
