Your Voice Needed

Hola,

Right now I need Your Voice for a D-Mod that I'm working on. Here are the parts, and number of lines each.

Older woman. 9 lines.
Thoughtful man. 19 lines.
Dumb man. 33 lines.
Evil man. 2 lines.
Wise-ish man. 5 lines.
Cruel man. 16 lines.
Inexperienced-but-trying-man. 16 lines.

If you're interested in a part (or parts), let me know. If I think it will work out, I'll give you the 'script' and such, so that you know what context of the lines are.

If you're worried about your microphone having too much static, I can filter out most of it. But if you're trying to record your voice when the TV is on, music is playing, and you're talking on the phone, it probably won't work out so well.

Oh, and if I use Your Voice, you'll be mentioned in the kick-butt credits, of course.

OH OH OH OH Yehaa!

Ok...I would be honored to supply my voice to the making of any D-Mod especially one by Redink. Even better I have a unique deep voice that arouses the opposite sex...you should see the looks on women's faces when they first hear my voice and they've never met me.

I notice the dumb-man has the most lines...perfect for comedy eh?

Unfortunately, I have no microphone...dang...if only...hey how much does a cheap-ass microphone cost?

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller

I can't imagine a microphone costing more than $10, and probably less than that.

Anyway, I've contacted everyone who volunteered with information on how to upload voices. Thanks!

Edir: I still need a woman (voice) though... anyone interested? It doesn't have to be older, that's just the way I thought of it.

I have a Shure SM58 which cost me 128€, and that's pretty cheap.

you certainly prefer quantity over quality. in this case, the quantity of static is 8x the quality of the microphone.

I hope no one here is making the mistake of thinking a mic only works properly with static. Like purposely imitationg the noise as you talk for realisms sake.

Hey thanks for that link Merlin.

Or maybe you can't admit that you paid too much for a microphone when one that cost 90% of the price would have worked the same?

Don't all the mics work the same? But compare the sound. Besides, sm58 is legendary

You just admitted that all microphones work the same, so, I don't see how it *could* sound like crap...unless you're just weird.

Saying all mics work the same is the same as saying my ZX Spectrum works the same as any computer they have at NASA.

But those pieces of junk can't run Dizzy or Double Dragon, so they lose.

Actually not all mics work the same way. There are different types, used for different reasons. Some are omni-directional, some bi-directional, some carotinoid (sp?).

If you really want to know, get a book on sound production for film and television.

EDIT here's a link for the lazy and one for the more studious?

Ok...I did a bunch of voices only to realise my voice that people have said is deep, and very unique is actually very bland and sounds dumb...so I did lots of Dink's lines!

Also is it just me or does SimonK sound very professional?

Come on people go do voices! With all you egomaniacs you'd think you would all go to do your voice then come back to put others down for their lame voices and start a huge flame war!

General response:

If I haven't contacted you to do a voice, chances are that I will not. Right now I have something like 12 people signed up to do 7 voices, and only a few have submitted them.

And major thanks to the submitters thus far, Drake, SimonK, and VD.

If you want to laugh really hard listen to my rendition of Maria's line:

"Oh Dink stop these tall tales!"

Since Im a guy I couldnt do the voice. I did try to imitate a woman, but it failed. I settled on trying to sound higher pitched and thats how that sound was made...and I didnt have to squeeze my balls.

Ya not too many people appreciate having a "Venereal Disease" around.



Of course since I often have to abbreviate Vault Dweller as VD many people have joked that I should be called "Venereal Disease". Just in case you thought it really DID mean "Venereal Disease" it doesnt.

Just call me...,
