What it says in the thread title.  It doesn't have to be perfect, just recognizable.  The best impression will be selected by me for inclusion in a secret project that may or may not have a three letter acronym.

Make sure whoever you get occasionally skips words like the real one.

[Goober5000]

I think that was because the noise filter that used wasn't sensitive enough to pick up his low-volume words.

[Nix]

Admiral Petrarch = Robert Loggia?  That's gonna be hard to top.

[Blue Lion]

Just try to call him and see if he'll do some lines. He can't be that busy.

[Mongoose]

Heh, now you've got me actually trying to pull off his voice, despite the fact I have little to no chance of doing so.  And let me tell you: it really hurts. Robert Loggia has a very gravelly voice, but he still manages to throw a lot of emotion in there.  It'd be a hard thing for someone to get right.

Edit: You know, the more I try it, the more I think I'm at least able to get something barely recognizable as his mannerisms, if not his exact tone.  It's not anything even remotely worth posting yet, but maybe if I keep fooling around with it, I'll be able to come up with something that doesn't utterly suck.

Just to let you know, I haven't completely given up on this. With any luck, I'll have some free time this weekend to take another crack at it.

[Goober5000]

K.

[Mongoose]

All righty; here's what I was able to come up with over the course of an hour or so.  I took a few lines from the ending cutscenes and various command briefings and tried my best to voice-match to them, with varying levels of success.  I can't really tell if it rocks, sucks, or is somewhere in between, so tell me what you think.

(Oh, and a cookie if you can tell me where all four lines come from. )

[Goober5000]

The ending cutscenes and various command briefings.  Nyaah.

Okay, cool.  These sound good enough to work with -- not perfect, but not bad.  I'll use them if nothing better comes along.

Anyone else care to audition?

Unless you can get someone with a deep, raspy voice, I think Mongoose is the best you can ask for when it comes to filling deeper-voiced roles.

[Darkblade]

I can give it a try. I'll upload my samples tomorrow once I have the chance to record them.

Here is my attempt of Admiral Petrarch. Nothing close of Robert Loggias voice but still... give it a listen.

[Goober5000]

Hmm.

Well, you've got the intonation down pretty well, but that Finnish accent doesn't sound like Petrarch, sad to say.

[Darkblade]

Yeah, that is my downside in all samples.

But that is the best I can do. Bloody parents, why couldn't you have been American!

[PotzUK]

Petrarch maybe not, but a damned good admiral's voice nonetheless  

[highfive]

Hey, I have a fairly deep voice and I'll try it but I haven't played Freespace in a while so do you have any samples of his voice that you can upload?

[Goober5000]

See attached.

He has a rather deep, sad voice. Probably a old man. My dad (quite old) can do the voice. But the only thing is, that he has this chinese accent. I don't think it suites Pertreach.
