Wanted: Voice Actor

[oksnoop2]

Just need someone who does not sound awful to record a few sentences expressions and such for the audiololwidget.

[SinbadEV]

I don't think I sound awful... and I have a nominally functional microphone that I can use to record myself in my relatively low background noise basement... I will submit an auditions tonight after 10pm if I remember after I get home from my shift.

[oksnoop2]

Make sure to include in your submission.
"Build a Navy"

In the likely case someone does not know: The audiololwidget lets you type in text and then plays a soundfile for all players.
ie like in age of empires chat.
You can try it in current CT version by typing taunt01 to taunt05

So to make this more fun we need sound clips that can be used for this. Anything goes really, from "oh noez they be stealing ma rocks" to "AAATTACK!" or just funny boing sounds or music clips (should be IP free)

[SanadaUjiosan]

I am against the inclusion of music clips. Although this can be easily turned off by using F11, it's basically giving ammo to those who like to spam annoying song clips. I don't want my CT game ruined by stupid song clips, but an occasional humorous clip can really add to the fun if entered at the right time.

I worry this'll be hard to do well.

[SinbadEV]

I'm not sure if my voice is non-annoying and I just said a bunch of stuff not necessarily the stuff you asked for... let me know if it's suitably annoying but not awful or whatever

fixed.

can put in a antispam thing anyway.
well, then troll players spam the chat with normal text or spam map markers.
trolls gonna troll.

SinbadEV:
dling...

eh, quite nice. good sound quality too except for a very silent fan (?)
Maybe a bit more "expression", like you did on"It's morphin' time!", I think a bit of overacting is fine too.
But overall good I say.

[Beherith]

I know this may not be perfect (licence prohibits distribution) but its extremely fun to play with :D

I find it hilarious, cant take it seriously, I reccommend against voice acting for the moment, t'is a hard balance to strike and what works in one game wont work in another.

[knorke]

hm, its called audiololwidget for a reason.
It isnt really a core gameplay element or something like KP's voice tip dispenser.

amazing! :D
can make them say dirty stuff, or slang.. all works quite well!
big shame you cant re-use it. :/

edit: german slang with french accent.. also nice :D

[SinbadEV]

Do you find my voice acceptable?

I have no knowledge about Conflict terra so I'll need to be told what things need to be said and what inflection to attach to them... but these would probably be good

"It's a Trap!"
"I'm in your base, [insert ct specific thing]"
"All your base are belong to us."
"Sorry, did you need that?"
"Build Something!"
"Build more [ct specific thing]"
"NOOOOOOOOOB!"
"Quick! Tech to Krogs!"


The fan noise is unfortunately my Alienware-case based frankenstein of a computer... if I need to I'll use my laptop to record next time.

[nightcold]

or........

u can use a speech synth...like an AI is interacting with the player like in sc....

i just googled speech synth, and found an open source one that you can prob use for distribution

if you want someone to help with the sound edits you know who to call :D

[SanadaUjiosan]

Microsoft Sam is the only robot's voice I trust!

err what kind of sentence can you make with that

Anyway, I dont know much about audio editing but if somebody uploads one more more soundfiles to use, I will add them. Or make adding new soundfiles easier so that anybody with SVN can do it if there is interesst.
The sounds must be in .ogg format.
