Yeah. This is making a marginal difference, why bother disputing it?

Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA

Also, unless I'm crazy, aren't the 'ren' in 'rent' and the word 'wren' pronounced exactly the same way?

Quote from: Mobius
Quote from: General Battuta
Renjian is 'WREN-gee-in'

"In"? It should be "un", as in "un-plugged". Also, ren should be closer to "ren-t" than "wren".  :)
Doesn't matter.  It comes out the same way.
:nod:
Any questions, Batutta?

Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA
I read your post, Rhymes_With_PSYCHO, never fear. Didn't think a little backup would hurt, though.

EDIT: Actually, we were all wrong. Darius likes 'WREN-jee-an'.

What I need is one of those online Chinese pronunciation sites...

Updated first post with a new script including some roles I'd missed.

I need to forward the Arifiel's one line to James Earl Jones.

Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA
I appreciate your attempts to help, but they'd make the pronunciations less accurate and clear, I'm afraid.

Less accurate? I'm pretty sure Orestes is pronounced that way. Even replacing "eez" with "ess" (as in "princ-ess") is correct - that sound is so much closer to the original Latin version. Well, using the English pronunciation is not a mistake... but I don't see the point in adding a zed.

I have no doubts about the Renjian. The "a" is to be pronounced as the Italian "a", so "un" works better.

Also, unless I'm crazy, aren't the 'ren' in 'rent' and the word 'wren' pronounced exactly the same way?

Are you sure about that? I've always thought there was a small difference.

Those are the only names I can help out with due to their Asian/Latin nature. I'll be nearly useless with the other names. :blah:

Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA
We did indeed! I'm sorry you didn't get an instant response. We were both very enthusiastic about your performance, Darkblade, and your lines are being used.

 
Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA
It's not clear what's done and what isn't in this thread, so I'm just going to record all the lines in the script as it is currently attached to the OP and submit them; hopefully one of the parts I record will be worthwhile.  Sorry if I duplicate anything that's already done.  The recording should be done tonight or tomorrow morning.

Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA
That's exactly what we want done. These are minor roles and we want everybody doing as many roles as possible, since we might end up using one individual for more than one role.

I'll edit the first post to clarify that.

EDIT: Er, it was already in the first post: "Please record whatever lines you please, as many as you like, and post them in .wav or .ogg format. Don't worry about who has already done what - we'll take the best."

 
Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA
Yes, I know.   :p 

I got through Admiral Morian's second line, and then it got so hot in my room that I had to turn on the exhaust fan; you probably don't want that kind of background noise in the lines, so I'll do the rest tomorrow.  I'm uploading what I finished now.  Should I post it to the thread, or PM the links to somebody?

Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA
PM the links to both Rian and me, if that's okay?

Rian does all the actual work around here. It's kind of a bummer she never posts to take any credit.

 
Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA
Done and done.  Or at least I think it is; I sent the message, but it doesn't show up in my outbox.  Could you please post saying whether or not you got the message?

Renegade Paladin, you have to manually tick a box saying "Save Copy In Outbox" for it appear in your Outbox, if you don't customize your settings.

Got the message, no fear. Rian's reviewing the lines now and I'm about to dive in.

 
Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA
I've recorded the remaining non-female lines and am uploading them now.  A .rar archive containing the files will be linked in your inboxes shortly.

I have uploaded Renjian voice samples to my folder on Mediafire, I hope you will like them.
