This contest has, admittedly, peaked my interest. I would be glad to enter, but first, I must ask, at the risk of sounding like an idiot, may we do any Warcraft race, or must we choose from the core four?

Any race, doesn't even have to come from Warcraft. The voices just have to fit the theme.

You can use it as an advantage, choose a race that you imagine would have a Russian accent.

anarchianbedlam · Apr 23, 2011

communistorcs perhaps?

Elvendan · Apr 23, 2011

Yeah, and "We need more vodka", "Our bears are being attacked", "Lenin is forever alive" and so on phrases. I think it's not creative at all.

Vengeancekael · Apr 23, 2011

Give it a try and post an example here. Maybe it'll turn out well.

Krl70 · Apr 23, 2011

I've got two fairly mediocre microphones, but I got one for telephones recently, though, I think that I've got a jack for it on my laptop, seeing that I am not at home yet, I can't test it, but does anyone know if it would work with my computer?

Edit: Now that I am home again I've found out that my jack wasn't 3.5".

does it have a 3.5" Jack? Yes? Then it should work...

I haven't started yet, still searching a place at home where I COULD be alone and not sound stupid while i say "Need more Gold... Need more Mana... Need more LUMBER!"... This proves that living alone is the best way to live.

Thank God! One who understands my pain...

(LoL)
Been tryin' to do some Audio for my map... but I feel soooo weird when I have to say certain things and someone is there.... :vw_death:

Ooppss sorry I wrote that when I was being kicked off my computer so there was no time to read other posts I understand now... sorry for the inconvenience.

Nope I don't think so, that would be boring

I feel for ya man.... That's annoyin' as hell, when people just don't listen. (Or read any of the posts past the first page...) Seems I do that sometimes too... I'm so ashamed!

Zzonehardy · Apr 28, 2011

Shoot all I can get is Wav files in audiacity does anyone know how to get the freaking LAME encoder library?

anarchianbedlam · Apr 28, 2011

Oh, heh, i forgot what a pain in the ass it was to find that. I'll attach it to the first post for you

EDIT: ok, the "lame_enc.dll" file is now on the first post. hope you guys find it helpful

Zzonehardy · Apr 29, 2011

Thanks you now i have all my Mp3s! So can you put in me as a contestant?

That's odd... I don't seem to remember seeing any comments referring to any races being left out... In fact... I believe I saw at least 20 implying, and stating outright, that all races, (Warcraft, and not) are included, so long as the words in the audio file, fit the theme... >_>... Interesting.

anarchianbedlam · May 10, 2011

4 more days until the deadline,

(dont say what voice you did)
but has anyone actually finished and submitted theirs yet?

Pyritie · May 10, 2011

I've got one entry so far

Sorceress · May 13, 2011

///forget this please.

anarchianbedlam · May 13, 2011

Well since there's only one contestant, I think ill extend the deadline for a week or two. Anyone object or support?

Sorceress said:
i would like too judge on this contest since i have no chance of joining it.
And im aware of that you need too have atleast a little knowledge in voice acting and i do.

mnadeau1992 · May 13, 2011

Galiant609 on youtube is great for voice acting, he's got some tutorial for CoolEdit pro. Good luck to all contestant!

Amargaard · May 13, 2011

I don't think I have time in the weekends and monday-to-friday I don't feel like screaming crazy quotes while my friends can hear it - I live on my school, so there's a little problem there :l

Elvendan · May 13, 2011

Yay! If deadline is extended I'll try to finally record something. Actually my biggest problem is making original phrases which will mean what they have to mean. Because "we need more vodka" makes no sense about what is really needed.

Grey Nightmare · May 16, 2011

Where does this contest currently stand is it extended or over?

FrIkY · May 17, 2011

I might join this contest, since I got a mic this time, for fun. I think I'll make something during weekend. Also, we don't necessarily have to use Gold or Lumber as our resources, can we use, for example: "Not enough minerals!", "Not enough dirt!", "Not enough zirconium flour!" and such?

I smell an angry Anarch on the loose, he's had enough with dumb questions...

its not a dumb question, id be more mad at dumb comments like that ^

friky, yes feel free to change the resource, as long as it fits your theme/voice.

i dont think that wc3 orcs would be using plutonium as a resource, and i dont think undead would be need apple pies as a resource etc.

o.o... I thought plutonium fit the orcs perfectly. *shrugs* Well, guess I don't know much... I knew school was a waste.

FrIkY · May 17, 2011

This is why I'm asking:

anarchianbedlam said:
Creativity - Is the dialogue unique and interesting? Or did the contestant just repeat the ingame warnings?
Script - How well do the lines fit the race? Are the things it says clever, or just generic?

If I use Gold and Lumber, would that be too generic, not unique and not interesting, or just normally acceptable without losing any points because of that? Let's say I will, but I won't, make voices for a Ghost Race that consists of Ghost units and heroes etc. They'll probably use some sort of Souls, Energy, Mana, Essence of Life, Soul Stone or something like that as their resources, they wouldn't have much use of Gold and Lumber. I know, there aren't any of those in regular Wc3 maps, so my voices would be kind of useless, unless someone makes an altered melee map or something with those resources. But then again, no one is really going to use my voice for their map, as this is just for a contest.
Am I right?
