Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA
Check it out, folks - first post has been updated to indicate the almost total completion of the script. We're far enough long to begin dropping lines in-mission and seeing how they sound (fantastic, so far.)

Big thanks to people cast in the following roles:

Zex Marquise: Alpha 4, Omar, Bretonia
Renegade Paladin: Duke, Fortune
swashmebuckle: Centaur Station, Solace, Epsilon 1, Boreas
Dekker: Orestes Tactical/Vice Admiral Morian
Darkblade: Terran Command
Norbert: GTCv Labouchere

You people did a fantastic job. I want to give particular props to Renegade Paladin, Zex Marquise, and swashmebuckle, who all single-handedly tackled nearly every one of the minor roles and put us in the enviable position of choosing between a number of equally great options. You guys are heroes, and you'll all be receiving about equal screen time.

We are very nearly done. However, we're still looking for a Tell and an Iwakura, whose scripts I shall edit into the first post. We also need someone to take on two missed roles - the Alpha Wing pilots from 'Curse of Prescience', the dream mission. There are also a few ship roles in the main post that we still need done. We're moving aggressively to cast all these roles, so get your lines in ASAP! Remember, Theora ogg if possible. Check out that first post.

Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA
I'd like to add my own congratulations to all the people we just cast. You did great work, and we were largely able to avoid using the same actor for multiple roles in the same mission.

We still have a few roles to go, though, so anyone who's been thinking about sending us something should get on that. Looking forward to seeing this done!

I made a note of this...

and we were largely able to avoid the same actor for multiple roles in the same mission.


Does that mean i can't apply for a minor one either?

You mean you're not already satisfied being Orestes Tactical and Vice Admiral Morian?  :p

You're cursed with a distinctive, charismatic voice, you stallion. Don't hog all the glory!

I didn't realise i made Morian based on my samples alone :nervous: That'll really freak me out on that last mission.. It'll be mainly me kicking the Reijians arse....... :lol:



I'll send you a link to the lines i did between posting that question and reading your reply.. Please members reading this, as i dont want to live with being a voice-stallion-hog. I urge you to try doing them. I apologise for badly done accents aprt from Forced-entry DELTA.. That came off quite well :yes:

Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA
That makes two surprises in one!
First, you managed to get some female voiceactors. I was afraid this wouldn't happen.
Second (and that's the really big surprise for me), I got a minor role! Yay!  :D

I'd try my voice on the last few missing lines too, but currently I got a cold. Perhaps I can give it a try in a few days.

Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA
Female voice actors have not only been easier to find, quicker to respond, and more reliable, but they've generally been of higher quality too. The Temeraire comms officer is fantastic, and I'm still torn on whether people are going to find Mina Taylor endearing or annoying (kind of an Imoen type.)

Re: BIG OL' PUSH: Finishing Blue Planet - Age of Aquarius VA
Interresting. I would have thought with so many more man playing freespace than women it would be harder to get female voice actors...
In RL I know plenty of men to play computer games, but only two girls, and those two don't play Space Sims....

Out of all our auditions, you were the only one who managed to do a believable version of that line.

No. We'll just fluff it as Vice Admiral Morian = Orestes Tactical. He's like Tigh from BSG, making angry radio calls and stuff.
