Re: Some Sort of Major Announcement!!
How was it supposed to be taken? It was a deeply unnecessary contribution - not only is tone negative and rude, but also incredibly pompous. Who the hell is Snail and why are we supposed to be interested in what setting he puts his voice volume on?

At best it's a backhanded semi-autistic way of saying 'don't worry too much about the voice quality guys, I'm just in it for the campaign' but I dread to think somebody could mangle online interaction that badly.

Uh... Is sorry enough...?

I wasn't trying to be cynical or trying to be a twat or anything, I was just saying that if it's really bad voice acting, then I will probably turn off voice. I hope we can get onto good terms here because I like to have more 'friends' than 'enemies.'

It's really a case of mind over matter: I don't mind and you don't matter! :lol:

Anyways, I'll put in a few lines later--maybe I'll be of use (somehow, though I doubt the audio quality).

Re: Some Sort of Major Announcement!!
If there is no objection, I would want to take my try on Admiral Scotts' or Admiral Glaives' role. If they have already been taken, then I'd like to be Squadron Leader of the 82nd Nighthawks.

But in the end, you are in command of those roles.

Re: Some Sort of Major Announcement!!
Well, I don't want you to be typecast. ;) You've voiced a lot of admirals lately, so I want to see how many others are interested.

But rest assured, we're still keeping you in mind. :)

If you need another voice from a male 20something with a foreign accent, I'll be happy to deliver.

Here's a line from Raider Wars I did: Clickety.

Almost done?  We will see about that.  When it is finished I will reinstall FreeSpace.

Argh, I am a bit to young for any of the roles (14...)

I am not inclined to accept your auditions, due to your previous unsatisfactory history in voice acting.

Re: Some Sort of Major Announcement!!
Sir T looks good as one of the Captains... I'm not really feeling him as one of the in-game guys, not urgent enough...

No offense, just a suggestion. My two cents.

Re: Some Sort of Major Announcement!!
No offense taken. That was my first attempt and was done in one take. I've sent him some other samples with me varying my voice a lot and with better recording equipment and software. I think they came out ok, but my opinion really doesn't matter. :warp:

Regardless if my voice is just used as one of the captains I'll be happy enough. Its their baby, I'm happy to contribute in whatever capacity they feel right for the project. Obviously I'd like to be used more than that of course, who wouldn't :D

Re: Some Sort of Major Announcement!!
I know I'm a complete noob to HLP, but I saw this and couldn't pass up giving it a shot.  If any of this is at all promising to the powers that be, I'll invest in a mic that will let me get inflective/emotional without overloading it.  As it is, I had the input cranked to 11 and had to be literally right next to it.  Still, recording didn't turn out too bad for a 12-year-old microphone from an IBM Aptiva.  ;)

Re: Some Sort of Major Announcement!!
Those are actually pretty good. :) I'd say the microphone would be well worth the investment. :)

Re: Some Sort of Major Announcement!!
I agree. You have a very good voice there.
