Tutorial Voiceover

[Sarras Volcae]

from my experience with french people, it does not make for a very good accent translated to english. sounds nothing like what's portrayed in movies either. it would just sound odd in a video game.

more artistocratic languages like british

[Vilthis Trayus]

we tried to have more artistocratic languages like british be on xacha,

Would love to submit my candidacy for the Xacha voice!

Thanks Talad!

I just wanted to add one little thing here. With so many voices needing to be done now, and any in the future, it is quite likely that more than one person will be responsible for doing voices of different same-gender, same-race characters.  In order for the different voice actors to keep them sounding even remotely similar, the actors need some type of OOC unity.  Using known, easily recognizable accents is a great way for them to be able to do this.  Just my thoughts.

Roled would also like to try his larynx at this task, if he could just figure out how to download audacity so that it runs...

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but the wiki pointed me here. I see the tutorial voices were all done, but are other NPCs getting done, over time?

Is this still a thing? If you still want voices, I've actually got a decent 16 track studio with some good mics. I'm Canadian, but I can do many accents.

We already had voices outside the tutorial. The mage in the forest is notorious for blathering...

How have I  not noticed this beofre now!? I will check this out in the morning!! What fun. This must have been done while I was away.... but still I've not heard theme speak!

So, since this first idea for adding voices was started we have actually removed the vast majority of them from the game. I think only 1 or 2 quests currently have any voices. The reason for this is that I've edited, added/removed/adjusted bits, for every quest in the game a number of times, then there are Mordaan's edits on top of mine. As this happens the recorded voices and npc dialogue no longer match, so once that happens we just remove all the voices for that quest.

So the tutorial, this was totally re-written from the version which was voiced, so is no longer voiced.

Nevertheless, it was fun trying to participate. Even though I guess my submissions were rejected.

But requesting them in high-res PCM format (even higher than recordable) was nonsensical, and will always be. Uploading took ages.
