Title: here is my voice
Post by: Ransom on May 31, 2008, 02:05:32 pm
I've been refraining from posting in this forum, because until just recently it's been a bit of a hassle for me to work on voice acting. But now it's not. So this is me, making a thread.

Here's (http://www.rateofinjury.com/va/demoreel08.mp3) some samples. Critique's very much appreciated.

Always give me the 'high-class' impression, and sometimes snobbish too. Might be perfect for command. :lol: No offense of course.

French = gentleman pirate. :)

"excuse me missiour(sp?) Surrender your cargo and i wil be inclined to jet you live today."

That line would sound pants coming from any accent but French. Also it means you an have a cool pirate capship called "The Josephene"
Or something :)

I never thought of a french accent in a "gentleman" manner  :blah: , does history have something to do with it ? (thinking about old noblesse)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ByvecMlbiPg (no, this isn't an ad but this is the most recent video I remember with someone with a french accent)
for example, do you think the guy in this video sounds like a gentleman ? (impossible not to notice the french accent)

PS : the pirate capship would be "Josephine" no ? unless you want it to sound like the french name even in english

Sounds like Blaine_Russells slightly mad younger brother :)

That's definitely a Brit accent. Sounds far too cultured to be an Aussie...on the other hand his site says he's in Adelaide.

Yeah, I'm Australian. I just have a lot of fun doing British accents - the closest to my normal voice is probably the "This is a WAR" line.

That's cool  :cool:, I was just wondering if that was close to your natural voice or if you were just forcing it.

I wish I knew offhand if I got a RT role close to that cause I definitely would like to use you cause of your voice quality...
Heh looks like I need to rewatch/listen to the entire series again... :)

Would you mind if I wanted to hit you up for a specific part later? I could use you now as a minor OIC role, but I want to do more research on some main characters I might have missed on Macross or Mospedia...

I think that's familiar. :cool: Have you voiced for the derelict campaign? It certainly sounds like one of the Derelict VAs.

French accent = Admiral with questionable knowledge of interstellar warfare.

Command: "Seven Sathanas juggernauts have set course for the Capella star. Advise all commands."

Frenchie: "You heard the man. All Fenris cruisers, form up in sphere formation around the Capella star! I want one cruiser every 500,000 square kilometers! Let one fighter through, and it's your head!"

I still think it'd be great to have Windsor Davis doing voices for briefings...

'Get'chor lazy little carcass aboard that ship right now, or I will not be an 'appy bunny! Move it! Move it!'

He was the Sgt Major from 'It ain't half hot, Mum', though you may remember him as the voice of Sgt Major Zero from the Terrahawks ;)

I remember "it ain't half hot mum" more than Terrahawks..  I never got into that plus i was more of a Transformers / MAsk / Thundercats / Centurions /Visionaries / Defenders of the Earth boy..
