Voice Actors Wanted

[Rao Dao Zao]

(Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this kind of thing)

That's right people, RDZ hasn't been dead for the past few months, he is in fact working on a massive RPG on a tiny map. And he wants to voice it. That's a good 250 or more lines of dialogue (just for the main quests!), so it's a big job.

Hence why I call upon you, the good people of wc3sear.ch, to aid me in my plight. I currently require five actors, ranging from a one-liner to major plot characters; there is surely a part big or small enough to fit any taste.

If you're interested in taking part, please signal your interest in this thread, and I shall furnish you with a script, the available roles and a beta version of the map.

NOTE: You must supply your own microphone, and it must be of reasonable quality. Before you are accepted as an actor, you must provide a sample of your voice (PM me or e-mail [email protected] if you're too embarrassed to post it here).

Thank you.

[Rao Dao Zao]

Fireworks... Does that mean you are interested, or are you just tormenting me?

 

[qwerty]

any asianly characters in yer map?

 

[Horn]

Catch me on MSN, I'll send you samples of my wonderful English accent!

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Qwerty - no, but as long as you have a good voice that won't be any hindrance. I've already got a dutchman (and possibly a second), plus my lovely scottish tones... The more different accents, the better, in my eyes (or ears). So, do you want to sign up?

 

[Ghost27]

well..i could help but it depends for what cahr voice u need(u know, evil demons, good humans etc. my accent don't work with'em all)

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Ghost27 - The big evil bad guy, I'm afraid, has been taken, so unless you kill my current actor...

Anyway, at the moment it's human(oid) characters I need - a Militia Captain (like a footman, incidental but still with a little dialogue), an evil/misguided human (think Admiral Proudmoore), "The Commander" (only actually appears in two cinematics), and a one-liner - a labourer.

So there you go. Of course, at some later stage I will return for people to act as optional-quest characters...

 

[Ghost27]

well...i'm going to search for my microphone(i borrowed it to someone) and i'll try....them..

 

[MP Productions©]

maybe it's a good idea if you download a kinda voice changer (to change a normal human voice into a demon or something) but i'm not really interested.. cuz my english sux and im also dutch.. but if you really want me..
but i shouldnt..

 

[Ekoi]

Post some lines and I'll try them.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Right then. Some samples of available characters:

Militia Captain: HALT! Who goes there?
Militia Captain: Sound the alarm! The Errsbrückers are attacking!

The Commander: At ease, Captain. What are your findings?
The Commander: At last I come ashore. I assume the villagers have been pacified, and a full camp has been established?

Lord Scheisen: Hah hah hah. You may have destroyed my village, Kirby, but don't think I won't give you the same courtesy.
Lord Scheisen: No, no… It is not over... There is more to this... Than meets the eye... It is... Not over... Yet....

Labourer: Don't bother building a base camp. I'll handle that. You guys build some farms and stuff.

None of these guys have particularly large parts, so try your hand at any of them. Beware that you may be competing with others for a part.

KIRBY?!? Oh dear.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

*sigh*

 

[Mecheon]

True men like Kirby

Errsbrückers

oh damn..how to spell that??i'm not good at german espescially thos "ü"

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Errsbrückers

oh damn..how to spell that??i'm not good at german espescially thos "ü"

Nor am I, but hell, it looks good to have a few accented letters flying around. I think it's a sort of "oo" but I am not at all sure.

 

[Metal_Sonic]

Wait till you see what model Kirby uses in game. And this map is great, I can tell you that right now. I've tested it, and it's a very unique experience

I went ahead and tried out for the Militia Captain and The Commander.

I did preaty good on the Militia Captain, but since I didn't know what I should sound like for the Commander, I just attempted the battlecruser voice from starcraft.

Download a text-to-speech program (Speakonia suggested) and a german language add-on (L&H German suggested) and try out the word to see how they say with the letter "ü".

For myself I already know how how u say that letter because I know a few bits of the German language. I don't know how to explain the exact, but this letter "ü" is somewhat close to "y".

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Dan van Ohllus - Intriguing. I'll be sure to check that out, although text-to-speech programs are not usually to be trusted.

Ekoi - You're hired, for the Militia Captain. Await a PM with a link to the beta version and the script.

 

[Ekoi]

WOOT

^^

 

[seruk]

Well you know where you can find me Rao!

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

I'm afriad, SeruK, unless you can obtain recording facilities of a reasonable quality, then there's nothing I can do.

 

[Ekoi]

Rao Dao Zao, I am sorry, but due to life matters, I am unable to use anything electronic for 9 weeks.

So therefore, the Militila Commander is open to whoever wants it.
