Would it be ok to make an AMV that...

Had the anime in it (i'm going to be using GTO) but there was no music, only voice acting? Not the original actors, i'm saying like.. if me and a few friends subbed in our own voices, lip synched it and made a parody out of GTO with it etc.

maybe have music for the ending credits?

If they plan to cut the anime footage up and 'parody' the anime by telling an original story (not in the anime), with their voice acting as the 'audio', it's no different from the project VoR is planning. I don't recall him getting any complaints in his thread for wanting to call an 'original dub with anime footage' an amv.

Now, if they just want to use the anime 'as is' - meaning without changing the order of the footage - then no, it's a fandub and shouldn't even be listed on this site, whether it's a funny dub or not.

that wouldn't be an Anime Music Video now would it?

I don't think this is <i>entirely</i> a good analogy, as those projects also used music. otbwavelength said the proposed project would have none.

Oh, I didn't see much about music in his thread, so I didn't know he planned to have the movie with background music.

But we have trailers that are entirely talk, no music, and we label them amvs.

Mostly I'd say the length would be a big factor here.

There is a whole other group ot there that do "Fan Paradys"....

Interesting enough, a lot of them are also or former AMV creators. But after attending the Panel at Otakon, it's a different world than those of AMVs

GreenJinjo made an AMV of GTO to a comedy routine to Little Tortilla Boy, it showed at AnimeD and got 1st place, so doesn't that prove right there that said amv's can be.. well, amv's?

that's because it's still doing it to a soundtrack of sorts... Real Fan Parodys are a lot longer and basically have thier own dialogue created to tell a different story (or sorts).... There really is no fine line between the two, but as it qas brought up at Otakon, there is still differences between the two and the groups/people who make them

Also, AMV stands for Anime Music Video.... Thus a Parody with dialigue only isn't really a music video... BUT, as with trailers, what we now call AMVs does not mean only music... Some contests stick to the "Music" part of what makes an AMV, others do not...
