Voice acting

[DaBrain]

Update: We're reworking the voice acting system. Please post in the new thread!

I'm pretty sure we won't feature real speech, but I'd like to know if there are people interested in voice acting.

Maybe I change my oppinion about this topic then. If a few people voluteer, I'll work out a few sample lines.

Just tell me which role you want get. :)


BTW I know it's unlikely somebody will reply...

[OmegaUltima]

Haha, This is going to be interesting, who's gonna do slippy? *Grabs Mallet out*

Sounds like an interesting idea anyway, I dont know what qualities my voice has but I dont think it matches that of any of the characters. Could be a voice for a supportive role if anything.

[DaBrain]

Well, there is a lot you can edit with the right software. I don't think there is anybody who sounds like Slippy without a bit of editing. :)

It's hard to get voice actors. Some other mods have it easier. TBP and Wing Commander: Saga...

So, it's just a try. ;)

[DZComposer]

"I don't think there is anybody who sounds like Slippy without a bit of editing."

Hows about me? I swear I didn't touch this with my sound software. Though my throat hurt after recording about 10 of these.

http://www.classicalhorn.com/hosted/slippy009.mp3

Though that was a while ago. I'm not sure if I can still do it.

This is what I normally sound like (was made for a thread on another forum):
http://www.classicalhorn.com/hosted/blahblah.mp3

Scary, eh?

[DaBrain]

Wow, impressive! :eek2:

Sooo, you volunteer? :drevil:

[DZComposer]

I guess I could do it if needed. I can do other voices too if need be.

[DaBrain]

I still think we won't need voice acting, but just theoretically, which roles could you speak?

As, soon as we got half of the needed voice actors, I consider there is enough interest in this to pull it off.

[Grug]

ROFL!

*wipes tear away

That's hilarious. :p

BTW, I used to wrap huge headphones over my head for mic's too. That way I could still type. But I looked like an idiot. ;)

Hmm supportive role?
There was the plan to add a new character. Maybe that could be you're role. :nod:

How about a small voice sample? :drevil:

[OmegaUltima]

I'll cook up something this afternoon. Its 6AM and I can't really do it at the crack of dawn. But yeah, I'll put something up.

[slippy]

a new charictar!! That would be cool!! I cant really help (If we do it )But I could do some reasearch (voices)

[DaBrain]

We won't use sounds or voices from Nintendo games, no copying, only original stuff.

[slippy]

I am willing to do the new charictar's voice and I am sort of good at Rob Ill make somthing up soon but dont rely on me if I can make it I will post it I really am not good at putting my own things in but I will try 60% chance I will

[OmegaUltima]

I should really find some free time. I'll try this afternoon if all goes.

[Blink]

Ok, freakin scary, I know DZ isn't a teacher...but he sounds waaay too much like the PC teacher who hosts Club 3d at our school on thursdays at lunch. Yeah, I'll stop listening to recordings of other peoples' voices now...

[SuperCoolAl]

Sample voices for Falco:

http://holytrinitybradford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Falcofine.ogg

http://holytrinitybradford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Falcothank.ogg

http://holytrinitybradford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Falcotarget.ogg

http://holytrinitybradford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Falcoshake.ogg

I know they don't sound very expressive but I can do a much better voice when I don't have to be careful not to wake anyone up..!

[DaBrain]

Like I wrote at HLP, very impressive. :yes:

If you want to do it and we really decide to do it (an I'm more and more sure we will) you're in. :)

[slippy]

almost done recording Rob

[SuperCoolAl]

Course I wanna do it, wouldn't truly be SF without voices would it? :)

I will also have plenty of time on my hands (about 12 weeks!) starting a week on Thursday.

Are we gonna put the radio noises from SF64 in or are we gonna do it without like SF:A?

[AqueousShadow]

Oh, you mean the noise everytime a commlink pops up and then someone starts talking? I think it should be like that.

And uhh...even if you do have 12 weeks, you probably won't be able to put all of that time for working on this because things have to be laid out first. Voice acting is one of those processes that start a lot later in a MOD. But, stick around :D

[DaBrain]

Uhm, I wrote something about that in the internal.

[DZComposer]

I actually have samples of that radio noise directly from SF64.

[Lylatian Bounty Hunter]

Hell i can do WOlf! Just tell me how to record yor voices, and Then I'll show you som eWolf impresions!

[DaBrain]

You sound like Wolf?

Very good. You won't need more than a microphone and a recording software.
Windows has an audio recorder. (search for sndrec32)

We still need to decide for a frequency and so on.

[Grug]

I asked around and Goober at HLP pointed me here: http://savage.samods.org/load.php

Its a voice acting guild. Apparently there are more about too.

It might be worth contacting someone to see if they want to help. Though whether they want to sound like Slippy is another thing... :p

[Lylatian Bounty Hunter]

lol, dont have a microphone, expect my voices later this week, or maye later, cuz i am on a trip...

[SuperCoolAl]

There's a reminder, I could possibly do Leon and/or Andrew aswell... let me get some samples up.

http://www.holytrinitybradford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/AndrewGiveUp.ogg
http://www.holytrinitybradford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/AndrewUncle.ogg

http://www.holytrinitybradford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/LeonBird.ogg
http://www.holytrinitybradford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/LeonShips.ogg

[Lylatian Bounty Hunter]

lol, which Wolf's voice do you want me to do? The Star Fox 64 voice, or the Star Fox Assault one? I can only do the Assault voice...

[XcomGS]

I will give it a go!

BTW, what is the new character? So I can get an idea.

[OmegaUltima]

@> SupercoolAI
If you spaced out the words and timed them correctly....god, You get my vote. Excellent Leon impersionation.

[XcomGS]

Ok, this is the peppy I am seeing. He is getting elderly. He can handle himself, with a little help from fox and is looking towards retiring from flying. My first voice gave him away as too old. However, this one seems about right.

[slippy]

Sorry My friend says I cant do Rob so UMM


Umm who can I send it to?

[DaBrain]

Sorry My friend says I cant do Rob so UMM


Umm who can I send it to?

Attach it. (If it's not too big.)

[slippy]

It does not work it only works through Email:eek:

[DaBrain]

It does not work it only works through Email:eek:

Uhm... take a look at the first posting on this page. It works pretty fine...

[slippy]

Well It eather Does not work or I dont know how to use it. Do you know where I can get free sound Hoasting it would be easier.

[Killfrenzy]

*Ressurrects the topic*

IMHO, we need voice acting. Flashy effects and stuff are cool and all, but VO is somewhat needed, especially given the chaotic nature of your average SF mission. Who's got time to read orders when they're too busy killing 250 fighters? :D

Incidentally, I'm willing to try my hand at Fox himself.......that's if nobody has any objections.....

[DaBrain]

No objections, except you want a Fox that sounds a bit german. ;) :nervous:

[Killfrenzy]

Why German? *Raises eyebrow*

[DaBrain]

Well.... guess where I'm from. :lol:

But seriously, I'm probably no good voice actor anyway.

[Killfrenzy]

Hehe - fair enough! Germany's a great place. :) However, Fox has always been American.....sadly......

[Sly Fox 03]

No actually he's not American. The bloke who does his voice just is American. He's a fictional space fox from a place very, very, very far away from here.

He could have any acent. His name says he's scottish but anyway... He doesn't have to be american. (He could be german if you want him to)

[Star Dragon]

Hmm looks like my mesage got eaten? Anyway, if you guys would like me to do something let me know. I did a few things like Raider Wars, 158th Panda, and Derelict.

[DaBrain]

Hey thanks for your support.


Well, I forgot who's in charge with the whole voice acting stuff, but I know someone took this task... :nervous:

I'd say... maybe you could lend your voice to a Cornerian pilot.


Can you disguise your voice?

[Anubis]

I can do voices for a pilot.

[Sly Fox 03]

I could be a dog. That would be pretty cool actually... :nod:

[DaBrain]

Some voice sample would be nice. ;)


Anyway, I think the voice acting won't start soon. There is a slight chance we can start this year though.

[Star Dragon]

Ah , from the increased traffic in the thread I thought maybe you were ramping up for it now.

As for disguising, I'll leave that to your sound guy. I just do my normal accent (North Eastern) "PARK the CAR next to the STARfury" lol... It's not really THAT bad.

[BlackWolf87]

Could I be a Venomian sergeant?(I can make my voice sound very deep.) Is there any room? If I can, I would be happy to help, especially to know I was one of the people who made a Starfox Game. I can give you guys a sample, but I don't really have a microphone..I'll buy one soon, promise :biggrin1:

[DaBrain]

I didn't even think about the enemies. I guess that would be fine. ;)

But, we need a voice sample before we decide on the roles.


@Star Dragon

Acutally something important just changed. It doesn't matter that much, but we could start the voice acting earlier than planned.

Well, we'll inform all voice actors about our plans soon enough. ;)
Right now, we're not ready to start the voice acting anyway.

[BlackWolf87]

Ok...I'll be practicing! If I am good enough, mabye I could do several enemy units! Will be practicing!

er.....Do I make up the lines or will you make them?...I can make my own lines if you wish.

[Sly Fox 03]

Thats fine with me. Take your time but give us at least a weeks notice before you decide to do it.

[Anubis]

I'll make something this week, tonight even.

[DaBrain]

Ok...I'll be practicing! If I am good enough, mabye I could do several enemy units! Will be practicing!

er.....Do I make up the lines or will you make them?...I can make my own lines if you wish.


You can make up one for the sample, but you'll probably get your lines from us as soon as we're ready.

If you're really going to take the role of an enemy, be ready to do some "I'm hit! ARRRGHH!!!"-stuff. ;)


@Sly Fox 03

Sure, no problem. We just need the mission before we start the voice acting.
Maybe we're forced to change something in the mission. We'd have to retake a lot of voice acting in this case. So I'd rather wait until we're done with 'enough' missions and start the voice acting.

[Anubis]

You mean like this.
http://www.fileupyours.com/files/5431/dieyou.mp3
Or do you require something more plain?

[Sly Fox 03]

Actually yeah. Do voice acting near the end when your ready :)

[Anubis]

Eh. I find doing the enemy more fun. You know like, *no no no no ahhhh (static)* or like *crrtcrtI'll see you in(static)" Can't wait to start doing those voices.

[Sly Fox 03]

So far, which main characters voices have been booked already?

[Star Dragon]

get us all excited like that...

Yeah just let us know when you get all the charaters mapped out and have lines for them made. Seperate scripts are great but there is nothing wrong with a complete mission scripts (provided no one leaks them). That way you can either wait till the mod is all done minus voices or do them one mission at a time (all mission 1 voices now then 2 later ect...). Regardless missions will need to be most likely re-fredded for time dependant voices(unless you simply used your own voice in ALL roles and got all the fredding out of the way :).

[AqueousShadow]

Nothing's set in stone, so don't hold your breath. We're anticipating this as much, if not more than, you, so let's calm things down and don't get too jumpy. I'd hate to have this abandoned and have our hopes crushed.

[DaBrain]

I'll work on a role list when I'm back from work. ;)

But right away, I can say got Fox, Slippy and.... I think one or two other roles covered.

[DaBrain]

Ok, I'm done with the list.

We got a lot(!) of positions covered already. I didn't expect that. Looks like voice acting is very popular. ;)


Well, the list in on the first page (first posting).
I'll try to keep it up-to-date.


Edit: This one should be sticky.

[AqueousShadow]

Well, do understand that voice actors will be somewhat spoiling the plot for themselves, so they must be willing to sacrifice the excitement of unveiling the story and whatever.

That said, there will be a lot of people working on this...

[BlackWolf87]

So far, which main characters voices have been booked already?


I dont like that idea, because SOMEONE:nervous: WILL spill the beans. seperate scripts should be well aquiped so the people who DON'T want to ruin it...well, wont ruin it :biggrin1:

[Jonathan_S47]

Voice actors are considered part of the mod team so if one says too much he is subject to the punishment that the mod team feels fits. :devel:

[Sly Fox 03]

Well you can trust me. I have no one to tell.

[Anubis]

Same here.

[slippy]

yup I am having a hard time hoasting my ROB voice it so annoying it says it has an unsuported peice can I emaill somone because it wont let me put an attachment here .

[Star Dragon]

register for 250mb file space... (I got in early and got 2500)

www.fileH.com

[Anubis]

2...2...2....2...250 you say!? :eek2: Thats a hell of a lotta mem, and its free. It seems I got in early as well. :biggrin1:

[DZComposer]

That's not memory. It's storage. Memory holds information that is in-use.

[Star Dragon]

Hmm looks like roles are going fast... (If I am to be used, just put me anywhere you think best)...

l8tr!

[DaBrain]

Sure thanks. :)

There are still quite a few empty postions.


BTW what happend to your 'first model'? I thought you were going to PM me. ;)

[BlackWolf87]

I got som elines down

Venomian Unit :Gaah...I can't...shake him.....-static-



line 1: Hahaha! You make me laugh!

Line 2: Oh I'm sorry, my mother told me to never hit girls!

Line 3:..hmph, your a bit better than expected...

Mini boss(if there is one)

Line 1: Hah! Dodge this!

Line 2: Grah! You.....get away from me!

Line 3: LONG LIVE ANDRO-Static-



yes, these are lines I have been practicing. I will buy a microphone soon.

[Jonathan_S47]

We are still a ways of from any of the major dialog. We could however start replacing the generic wingman/command persona files. I took the time to make a list of the voice files the game uses.

Wingman Persona Voice List

All Clear
Arrival (Enemy)
Attack
Backup
Check6
Death
Depart
Disable
Disarm
Engage
Help
Ignore
No
No Target
Oops1 (Response from a wingman when you shoot his/her ship.)
Player Dead
Praise
Stray
Traitor (You don’t want to shoot Slippy down this time) :drevil:
Yes

Command
Arrival
Loner (no backup available)
Oops1 (Shoot Friendly Ship)
Oops2 (Shoot Instructor)
Oops3 (Not sure about this one as it is the same as oops1)
Stray
Stray Final
Traitor

[BlackWolf87]

Sounds good :D

[Star Dragon]

I thought I posted teh DL link eitehr here or on HLP will check when I have more time l8tr..

)I still need to find the video for better ref pics).

[DZComposer]

Meh...

http://www.classicalhorn.com/slippytemp.rar

[DaBrain]

Nice work DZ. :)


@Star Dragon I'll look at HLP. ;)

[DaBrain]

Well... uhm where is it? :confused1

Oh, btw SuperCoolAl confirmed that he's voice acting for us. :)

I didn't see him here for a long time, so I thought it's better to PM him.

[SuperCoolAl]

I've finished my persona pack

http://www.rapidsharing.com/b356b709fa3c3ee4f987eae9e04f9e2b

Commentage please!

[DaBrain]

Wow, you came just back and you've already completed the whole generic talk list. :yes:

Well, AqueousShadow is in charge of all voice acting stuff, but from my side everything look... erm... sounds fine. :)

I'd only change one thing. Flaco would never say 'no problem' if he was to follow a command. ;)

He belives himself to be the best pilot.

[SuperCoolAl]

yea that don't sounds too rite... ill get a rerecording up...

http://www.rapidsharing.com/305a17e3009079cb763863879218da71

in the sounds i tried to make him a showoff but also give him a bit of grit when he gets down to business.

[DaBrain]

Yeah, that's better. :)


I think you got his attitue better than me. Actually he doesn't make stupid jokes in serious situations.

But he sure uses every chance to slap Fox. ;)

[SuperCoolAl]

Actually he doesn't make stupid jokes in serious situations.

Slippy's the comic relief! Jeezas the slippy sounds are good!


But he sure uses every chance to slap Fox. ;)

There wasn't enough fox-slapping in Assault :)

[DaBrain]

I didn't really play it yet...

I always thought they were friends, but also rivals.

But I don't think they could hate each other.

[AqueousShadow]

Sounds pretty good, and you went ahead and recorded for the generic template, which is also a good thing. I'd say there isn't really a problem with these, other than that we'd probably have to run them through filters or something to make them more believeable for the campaign. Good work :yes:

[Fox McCloud]

Is there still a position open for General Pepper? I may be interrested in doing his voice.

[DaBrain]

Hmm, I'm not 100% sure, but the General Pepper job should be free.

You should send me a voice sample.

How about some creative lines like... errrr... "It's about time you show up. You're the only hope for our world." :nervous:

[AqueousShadow]

or "Fox! It's a good thing you're here!"

[Fox McCloud]

Well, I would have said that, but the character has already been taken by someone else.

Anyway, I'll see if I can send in a voice sample sometime between Christmas and New Years.

[BlackWolf87]

I've been practicing still, but no microphone yet...I think I can do the part of

-Venomian fighter

-Venomian general

-Cornerian fighter

-Mini Boss(just in case :D )

[strike911]

i just sent a PM to DaBrain... I hope I'm accepted for any part. =)

[DaBrain]

I'm very impressed. Your samples are on a professional level.

I hope we'll find a role for you, you're happy with.

If you want to do voice acting for BSG too, I'll recommend you. :yes:

I'm answering your PM right now.

[AqueousShadow]

Can we hear?

[strike911]

yeah sure thing! Sorry for being a retard and not posting them on here. lol. The first sample below is from another game I was voicing... but it fell through. Supposed to have been in an FMV, but again, it fell through. Basically what it is, is an audio track to an animated video, but the animated video never really saw the light of day. The second is a very short little tryout for a halflife2 mod. All the voices here were done by me.

[KCat]

Wow. Very impressive. Not to rain on anyone's parade, but uh... I think he'd be damn-near perfect for Fox (especially using the second non-radio voice in the radioFORhelp clip).

Not that I really have any say or anything. Just my opinion. :nervous:

[AqueousShadow]

Dude...that's awesome. Haha, in the FMV one, which voice are you? The asshole or the guy who gets killed? Or are you both? Man, this is some top-notch stuff.

Now really I think it's up to you whether you want to commit to the project. Voice acting, as stated before, will come later though. Maybe soon...

[strike911]

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, commitment is no problem. If a project is good (like this one) then its fun to do voice over stuff. I'm all the voices in those clips; I can get my voice scratchier to sound like a chain smoker if I have to.

Real nice mod btw. I'm really excited for it, excellent work. AND, I'm a fan of DZcomposer, I see him floating around video game remixing sites every now and then! =)

[DaBrain]

I'm interested in a few samples. Fox, Falco (like you wrote in your PM) and Bill shouldn't be a problem for you.

Do you need some lines? From my side some standard sentences are enough.

BTW you seem to know a bit about sound editing. We need a lot of sound effects and we got only one sfx artist. I'm trying to work on a few things myself, but it's still a lot. If you'd like to help us with a few sound effects, just PM me.

This way you could join the team. :)

[Fox McCloud]

I'm sorry to sound like a complete n00b, but I do not do a whole lot of file uploading....where can I upload recordings of my voice for the members on this forum to listen to?

[DaBrain]

Try this site:

http://www.putfile.com/


As soon as we start the voice acting, we'll find a better way to handle this. It's just fine for samples.

[Blue Lion]

Do you still need actors?

[DaBrain]

Yes, there are quite a few roles left.

Take a look at the first posting and choose one you'd like to do. And please upload a sample somewhere.

You don't really need lines for the sample, just say something, that's not totally out of place. ;)



BTW to all voice actors: I'd like to start the voice acting for one mission soon. (As soon as it's complete, which should be next week...)
It's a test how well things work. Maybe we'll have to redo it partly later, that's why we'll start the real voice acting later. I just don't want to run into problems later, when we're done with everything and just waiting for the voice acting.

[[dw]-hunter]

I vollenteer, ill upload a sample when i get home... IF my I still have internet

[Fox McCloud]

I apologize for not posting a voice sample sooner, but I have been busy/distracted/etc.

[[dw]-hunter]

i dont have internet at home still, ill keep you posted :(

[Blue Lion]

I dunno what to say!

[DaBrain]

Well, tell me which character you'd like to lend your voice and I'lll give you some lines. ;)

[Fox McCloud]

Fox and/or General Pepper for me.

I lean more towards Fox than General Pepper.

[Star Dragon]

Eargerly awaiting if you've decided from my samples if I match any roles you might have left.

[DaBrain]

Sorry, I still wasn't able to find your sample... with the search function down at HLP, my chances are really bad...

[Blue Lion]

I'll do narrative voice ;)

[[dw]-hunter]

i sound like a rookie pilot LOL

click here (http://www.freespacezone.com/files/voiceact.wav) to listen to it.

[Blue Lion]

Why hello there n00b.

[[dw]-hunter]

LOL.. hey now... be nice!

[AqueousShadow]

It might be alright for our voice acting, though do you have any equipment or programs through which you can edit your voice samples? It sounds as if you're using a cheapo plastic microphone, and if you're not, whatever you're using is picking up all the excess noise. Either you need to know how to get rid of it, or record in such a way that keeps that noise from getting there. If this is a just a quick test to show us your voice/tonal quality, then that's understandable.

Quite honestly, I can't tell what part would be good for you to play, but we'll leave that up to the others to decide :)

Blue Lion, try coming up with your own sample before criticizing.

[Blue Lion]

I have a sample lying around here somewhere.

[[dw]-hunter]

i had a really loud fan on in the background, and the mic works just fine. Theres just a lot of background noise. Thx tho for considering me :) I'm only 18 so its not like my voice is going to be perfect....

[Fox McCloud]

what kind of equipment or programs would one need? I have a high-quality microphone, but, none-the-less, I wouldn't mind knowing where to find one of those programs...

[[dw]-hunter]

you could just use standard Soundrecorder32, which comes with windows, its basic but it works great. :) I, myself am looking for good sound editing software however.

[DaBrain]

-hunter']i sound like a rookie pilot LOL

click here (http://www.freespacezone.com/files/voiceact.wav) to listen to it.

Hmm yeah. Maybe we'll need some voices for Cornerian fighter pilots.

Now that I think about it I think we'll need a few of them for sure. ;)

what kind of equipment or programs would one need? I have a high-quality microphone, but, none-the-less, I wouldn't mind knowing where to find one of those programs...

Nothing special unless you want to edit your voice.

Soundrecoder32 will be just fine. I use Audacity cause it's for free and not too bad. ;)

[AqueousShadow]

-hunter']i had a really loud fan on in the background, and the mic works just fine. Theres just a lot of background noise. Thx tho for considering me :) I'm only 18 so its not like my voice is going to be perfect....

I'm only 18 too. One of the issues you have at the moment is getting into character. You don't quite know what mode you should get into just yet, but if you know you can get yourself into the mood, it's good.

And maybe it's just me. I know in another life I'd be a voice actor :p

[Kurayami]

My own little test for General Pepper and Star Wolf

[DaBrain]

Ok, who's still with us now?

We got a voice acting subforum now and all voice actors will get access to it and the script for the mission.

BTW strike911 is the voice acting manager. He's the boss on the new board. ;)

[[dw]-hunter]

ill do it if you want :nervous:

what kind of equipment or programs would one need? I have a high-quality microphone, but, none-the-less, I wouldn't mind knowing where to find one of those programs...

I hear sound forge is hella good for sound editing. Im downloading it via torrent right now.

[Fox McCloud]

Ok, thank you DW Hunter...How large is that file to download?

DaBrain- I will really try to get a few voice samples up within the next two weeks...is there anything in particular you wish me to say?

[DaBrain]

Depends on the character you want to play. Just copy some lines from SF64 for now. ;)

[AqueousShadow]

Yea. The closer you are to any characters of SF64, the better it is. Just give it a try, and honestly, GET INTO CHARACTER.....even if it is a falcon or rabbit.

[Star Dragon]

I don' know the chars so if you think my samples Duke has sound like someone (or will be used for just general pilot chatter) that's fine, let me know whenever.

I use Goldwave...

[DaBrain]

Is anybody of the voice actors able to see the voice acting board?

Maybe something was set up wrong. But I can fix that easily. ;)

[[dw]-hunter]

no im not able to see it

[DaBrain]

Should be fixed now. :nod:

[Blue Thunder]

Hi,
Just wanted someone to take a listen to some of the voice acting ive done/got. See if they're any good. :nervous:

[LINKS REMOVED]

The ones labeled 01 are done by a friend. 02 is me. (plz, be nice :shaking:)

Hey, sorry to come out of the blue. But I got here through another starfox website and happened to see this.

I'd love to help out with voice acting in any area. I'm a fairly good actor and I get into character rather easily. I've done drama work for 6 years now, as well as online voice work. I'm 19, and have a fairly younger sounding voice, but I can do various other voices. Monsters, cute creatures, odd creatures, comical guys. Whatever you wish.

If you'd like, I can record a few voice sample later. I can also point you to a couple of google video's where I act in to give you an idea of how goofy I can be and such. Not afraid to do battle cries and stuff.

Thanks!

[Arcthoudor]

wait... What kind of programs will let you record your voice?

[AqueousShadow]

Rabbite: The info you provided sounds intriguing at least. Please go ahead and provide us with some samples of your work.

What would be best is if you could sample some Star Fox characters, any that you are comfortable with.

[strike911]

Yes, Yes. Samples. Samples! Anything, everything.

and @ Arcthoudor Sound Recorder in Windows can do the job but a variety of programs offer recording services, for example GoldWave. Google it and you can find tons of resources.

Damn, I wanted a big part. :p

i can do some voicing if ya want.

[strike911]

If you want to try out, just go ahead and post some samples right in this thread. Or you can PM me the URL if you don't want other people hearing your stuff. Feel free to send whatever you want. ^_^

Hello together,
this my first post, so first something about me:
my name is Dimitri, I'm 15 and live in Germany (neur Nürnberg). So if my English is not always perfect: sorry for that ;)
I like nearly everything that can fly (airplanes like Boeing and Airbus or military jets and of course the arwing^^). Look at my signature... there are a few links, the red one shows a few pics of my hobby: Flight Simulation.

Ok, back to topic: if possible I would like to help, too. I could speak nearly everyone. It doesn't matter if good or bad guy or even some other, not really important characters.
And do you need help in some other parts, too? Maybe I could help there...

If you want to try out, just go ahead and post some samples right in this thread. Or you can PM me the URL if you don't want other people hearing your stuff. Feel free to send whatever you want. ^_^

We need a couple more voices, so please send send send some samples of various forms acting. You can emulate characters from the StarFox series if you want. Anything is fine, just so long as we can hear your voice.

Again, we need a few more voices so if anyone out there is interested, please send us some samples. You can put the URL here, or you can PM me or one of the devs.

:)

Hello,
roger, I've made two examples.
1. A landing reaquest in an approaching plane. Sample01 (http://home.arcor.de/conaly/sample01.wav)
2. Falco in StarFox64, when Fox hit him. ("Hey einstein, I'm on your side!") Sample02 (http://home.arcor.de/conaly/sample02.wav)

Maybe it's a bit too quite, sorry for that.

[strike911]

thanks we'll go through and have a look at them now. :biggrin1:

Thanks a lot!

[Cobra]

man, I've never heard any of the StarFox cast so I can't do any impersonations. :(

[AqueousShadow]

Start playing SF games?

[Cobra]

like I have a GameCube. I don't even have a blasted NES or whatever to play any of the StarFox games. =/

[Arcthoudor]

I can do a real cheezy General pepper.

Might submit something if I can get my mic hookup to stop being so impudent.

Anyone know a good place to upload audio files for stream? I could from a friends site, but his bandwidth is very poor. If not, I could upload some video clips of my acting to google video. Either way is fine for me, I will try to post by late today.

[DaBrain]

You can attach files to your postings on this board. Or use your friend's webspace and give the link to strike911, our voice acting manager, via PM. So you won't have to worry about the bandwith.

[werefox18]

I was able to record a few samples today and also found some sample I recorded back in May. I was only able to post to at the moment, as they were the onlyones small enough, because of how short they are, but they give ya an idea. If you would like to hear more, just drop me a ling an I'll see what I can do, if I have to, I can lower the quality of the others to get them to fit here. Anyway thanks for your interest. I am willing to help anyway I can.

[strike911]

yeah, great!! Yeah, this will be fine, but if you want you can send more if you'd like; that's not necessarily required though.

[werefox18]

Those were recorded a bit last minute, so quality wise there not great. I could possibly do General Pepper or bill as well as Fox, since you have Fox filled. I will gladly take any role however. Even if its a baddy like Wolf, or a new char. I wil compress some of my other clips and try to upload them by the morning. Thanks.

[werefox18]

Here are the other Clips Recorded today, They were long, so I had to compress them quite a bit to fit here, so there only about 32KBps or less. Sorry I had to make the last one a zip file, it was about 7kb to big, and makeing it a zip solved that. Its been a long time since I played Starfox 64, so I dont remember any of Bill's lines, if I heard them again, I could try to match them. I hope I'll be of use to you, Striker. I would love to see everything come together nicely.

[strike911]

me being Fox, is entirely a placeholder, so Fox is an open spot. I'm in there at the moment so we could test out the recording protocol and see if we could get some things done like that, so yeah, nothing is really set in stone, so if you have your heart set on a character then its still possible to get Fox.

And thanks for the extra samples. =)

[werefox18]

Verywell I'll try for Fox. If not, I'm happy with what ever.

[DaBrain]

Your Fox is pretty good! Nice samples.

@strike shall I give werefox access to the voice acting board or do you want to get all roles filled before we continue with the voice acting?

[werefox18]

Thanks, glad I could be of help.

Edit: I can also do more than one character if you need me to.

[werefox18]

I will be away from home for tonight. I should be home tomorrow. I may other fun samples then.

[DaBrain]

We're overhauling our voice acting system. Please wait for strike911's new voice acting thread!


@werefox You'll definitely be part of this. ;)
