Voice Acting Contest #2 - Poll

[shamanyouranus]

Custom Unit Soundsets
Contestants are to create a complete sound set to fit a custom unit model.

• Each user can only vote once in the poll. (remove this for a multiple choice poll)
• You cannot vote for yourself. If a voter has the same IP as the author then the vote will not be counted and it may result in the disqualification of the entry.
• You cannot create multiple accounts to vote for an entry in the poll. If a voter has been found to be using multiple accounts none of the voters votes will count in the final result.
• You cannot bribe users for votes. Contestants who break this rule will be disqualified and given negative reputation.

• First Place: 50 reputation points and your entry on an award icon
  
• Second Place: 35 reputation points and an award icon
  
• Third Place: 20 reputation points and an award icon

• If you would like to judge the contest simply make a post in this thread stating so.

Creativity	How interesting is the voice? How well does it fit the model?	/10
Quality	How well are effects and filters, if any, used? Is there constant popping or static?	/10
Script	How well do the lines fit the model? Are the things it says clever, or just generic?	/10

• 65 % of the winner shall be determined by the contest's appointed judge(s).
• 35 % of the winner shall be determined by the results of an anonymous poll.

Things to know about the poll:
- You physically can't vote for your entry.
- The order is randomised
- The file names are randomised
- You can't see what other people vote because that introduces bias

I vote for the orc and female they're perfectly fitting the warcraft 3 voices.

 

[ap0calypse]

The first entry sounded very good, but the lines were too generic.
I love the second entry (good use of filters, nice lines).
The third entry was a bit too... cracky and had "Very Well" twice as far as I've heard
The fourth one sounded very well, the lines weren't that good, but well...

My votes: 2 & 4 (female... banshee-like thing, apparantly with wings xD and some dreadlord-like thing).

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Hmm, nice entries... why is there no model we can relate the voices to? ... that seems kinda fail... There's a judging point on it... nr. 3 had the best effects and most... understandable voice, but the things said were too long and far-fetched. (also the two last ones were made in a different voice ?) All the others were hard to understand as well... the effects really ruptured the stuff they said... I loved the nr. 4 pissed sounds

 

[Pyritie]

oh right, forgot to show the models

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

hehe XD

 

[JokeMaster]

<Offtop><FACEPALM><End Offtop>

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

May we see the models, us who already have voted... ... based upon sound alone?

 

[Avator]

How can we judge on "How well does it fit the model?" if the model isn't specified?

Also, I'm afraid all of them are quite rough. Some could use more polishing then others, but I wouldn't want any of those imported in 1 of my maps. Sorry I have to say that.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

I voted for the forsaken-esque female voice and the Warhammer-styled orc voice.

And I'm guessing the entries are randomly placed for each voters, so pointing out the numbers is just meaningless.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Yeah - i was wondering why ap0 messed the order up XD

 

[ap0calypse]

Yeah - i was wondering why ap0 messed the order up XD

I also thought that the order was randomized, that's why I put the descriptions there

 

[Pyritie]

Okay the models are up there. You should be able to figure out which corresponds to what

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

2 nerubian senators? I guessed that 2 of them were nerubian... but not the same... i think i voted for both of them...

 

[Pyritie]

fixed

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Hahaha XD Naw, then i guessed one of them wrong...

 

[karland90]

next time you might make testmaps with them, maybe? im not sure if it is a good idea, though.
i voted, too, without seeing the actual models :|
for example there is a difference whether the voicepack was made for an ogre or orc (even if its a fel orc). i really thought it was an ogre :s


i think there were too little submissions - im planning on joining next time i hope that i will be less busy then.

 

[Koloricsi]

The best were the sound for the Dark Angel, and the first nerubian

 

[warhog]

have to say that the dark angel voice is absolutely perfect voice acting..(according to me ) even though none of them really matched their models :S

 

[Traxamillion]

The poll is being remade, why the hell would you start a poll knowingly missing an entry.

 

[ap0calypse]

Wait... there are 5 entries then?
I mean, there's 1 model missing: yes, but is there also a sound file missing?

 

[Traxamillion]

There is 4 entries he knowingly started the poll missing an entry which is beyond retardation.

 

[ap0calypse]

There is 4 entries he knowingly started the poll missing an entry which is beyond retardation.

I was the second one to vote and had 4 options to vote for, so it sounds correct to me, knowing there are 4 entries O_O
However, if what you say is true and an entry was indeed left out, then I completely agree with you.

 

[Traxamillion]

At the beginning of the thread it says he lost an entry only linking 3

 

[Pharaoh_]

He lost the link of the model the recording was referring to, not the submission itself.

 

[Traxamillion]

Oh... I see now. I was mislead by the 3 links

 

[karland90]

thats the only thing i see possible to read from that post, too.

 

[Traxamillion]

My comp is messed up I've been using hive on my iPhone so shit is a little hard to see.

 

[Pyritie]

lol

yeah all of the entries are there. Had a problem with one of the entries since I had to up the volume a bit on one of them (and accidentally messed one up a bit) and also forgot its death sound but I've sent off the fixed sound to samuraid. When he's next online (should be in a few hours I think) then he should fix it if he's willing to

 

[Samuraid]

Everything is (should be) up to date now.

Although there are not very many entries into this contest, the four submissions are very creative and well done.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

hrmm....should i vote for the lisping burping thing, the echo lady, the vibrating bass bug, or the protoss probe. hrmmm....

tough choice....

Would have been nice if we had some more entries.... like... more good ones ( <.<)
4 entries is a fail contest in my book. But nonetheless... good luck to all ... err... 4 of the contestants.

 

[Pyritie]

By the way we're still looking for judges

 

[Samuraid]

37 voters, and counting...

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Meh. Judging? I'd love to try it some time, but I'm not qualified, I think. We want high standards, i think. Yes, I'd be totally fair, but i have never looked at sound sets before :/ ... so i don't think i'm qualified.

But it could be fun!

Seconded.... that sort of thing does seem to happen a lot.

 

[ZeroNoWing]

Hey author, can you give me a map with your inventory system, please? I'll write you as author of inv. system.

 

[ZeroNoWing]

One of the best maps, no, the BEST map in the world, i think...

 

[Traxamillion]

[Pyritie]

[Pyritie]

Tomorrow, but I'm still looking for judges

 

[Razosh]

[Pyritie]

Okay, samuraid is a goddamn fast judge. o__o

Need one more though!

 

[Samuraid]

96 voters total on the poll.

We are close. We just need one more judge. If anyone is interested and feels reasonably confident in their ability to provide helpful feedback, please contact Pyritie.
