IFH demo voice acting!

[b]Oki buddies...here it goes. I was asked to organize the voices for the IFH demo. So...since the mission scripts are almost done the voice acting should now be started.

However...we need to have the voice actors first. So...if anyone of you is willing to act, get a mic and record me the following lines:

"Alpha squad, get in position. Beta squad, cover us! No one is to be left alive, get 'em all!!"

...or...

"Acknowledged, Alexis. We are going for the jumpgate. ETA 30 seconds."

(these lines are NOT taken from the demo...I just want to hear how your voice sounds [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img])

And please....follow these directives:

1) Don't record using the windows audiorecorder!

2) Use Cool Edit 2000 or GoldWave to record your scripts (or another good sound proggy...like SoundForge, etc.)

3) Open a new file with these settings: 44 Khz, 16 Bit, Mono

4) Now record your script

5) Don't stop the record, when you have recorded the script. Please record one or two seconds of the backround sounds. This is required to filter them out of the sample later. DON'T CHANGE THE MICRO POSITION FOR THAT RECORD. LEAVE THE MICRO WHERE IT WAS DURING THE RECORDING!!!

6) Don't compress the wave or something!

7) Don't reduce the quality. Leave the wave in 44Khz, 16 Bit, Mono.

Additional things:

-Don't breath into the microphone
-the position of your micro should be on the left or right side of your mouth with a distance of 2-3 cm (for headsets...specialized mics might be placed in another way)
-don't record the whole script in one piece. Even if you do only a sample of two sentences....
-don't alter your voice too much, it would be noticeable.
-make sure you do a clean record (that is the most important point [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

RECORD THE BACKROUND NOISE!

Save the file as MP3, PCM or ADPCM wav. And then...send it to yogi@jo-loeschner.de

Please follow the directives above. If you don't your voice will not be in the demo. Apart from that...most characters in the demo are about 30 years. If you have a voice like such an "old" [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]-person, please give it a shot.

Oki...now get to the mics! [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]

  • [quote]I really tried it - the sound quality was good, but since english is not my primary language, my speech patterns sounded too weird to announce them in public![/quote]
    We had tones of ethnicity in the TBP demo. Any type of accent is good, provided we can understand the words [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    I'm attempting to get a friend on this. He has a thing for voices.
