Re: BP2:WiH P1 Voice Acting Call
I am told that my fairly archaic Nelson lines are quite good - after someone such as Battuta, with more skill in Audacity than myself, edited them, the result was reportedly much better.

Onward, chums!

I will try to get the OP updated over the next couple of days to reflect the status of the "minor" roles.

Previous OP change log

Big change time.
  • A number of roles have been cast.  They are marked with a "CAST" next to the role name (they are also missing the audition lines :)).  We will still accept auditions for "minor" roles that have been CAST (which is why we are not telling anyone who has been cast as who yet), but we strongly suggest any auditions be done for the roles that are either only "tentatively cast" or are not cast at all.
  • Some roles are "tentatively cast" meaning that we have a VA in mind but we are still looking for more auditions either because the one that we have doesn't fit quite right or we are considering promoting the VA to a "major" role.
  • A couple of roles have been revised, as such any previously accepted lines have been deleted, and the VAs that submitted the lines will be contacted shortly to inform them of this change in status.
  • Two new major roles are available, "Ranvir Control" and "Solaris Control".
  • All roles are now in alphabetical order.
  • Added descriptions of the categories of roles.

People may turn in more auditions and so roles may be shuffled around, but rest assured that almost everyone who got involved and had acceptable voice quality and delivery got a part.

Hey Guys,

Congrats on the news Ive been reading here. Cant wait to see the voices added into WiH.

Im new to voice acting and was considering trying for a few parts, just wondering. What you get back in regards of feedback/tips/etc.

Yay, impressive progress :)

What's with the roles that have no audition lines listed but are also not marked as CAST?

Like:

# Reshadiye Control (22 lines)
# Rheza Station Control (21 lines)
# Secretary-General Toqueville (2 lines)
# Sergei Gwilym (18 lines)

Reshadiye Control had a script error. The others I'm not sure.

It's not so much if I got a role but which one if I did, I'm just curious since I sent in tons.

Well we can't be sure yet as roles may be shuffled around. Don't want to lie!

 
Re: *UPDATED January 16th* BP2:WiH P1 Voice Acting Call
Man, WiH was epic enough as it is. I can't wait to play the voiced version.

I may be new to this forum, but hey, I'd like to give this a shot. Anything to contribute to this awesome campaign. Now I just need to figure out which role I should do...

As many as you like, but focus on those without 'cast' markers for now - they should be in the first post.

A good place to start is the Tips foraspiring actors thead in the voice acting forum. You might also get some tips on what to correct and how, but better to make it right in the first place, eh ;)?

They are major roles, which haven't had their lines released.

Reshadiye Control had a script error. The others I'm not sure.
That was Reshadiye Security that was retracted, though if we need to fix Security we probably are going to need to fix something with controls lines as well.

EDIT: forgot to reply this as well:

More or less, I normally only provide feedback/tips/etc if asked, but keep in mind that I am not the final stop for the use of the auditions I primarily just collect them.  Also, I will *always* provide feedback on technical issues, that is, recording quality problems (noise, etc.), mispronunciation of words, clipping, etc.

Thanks -Norbert-, just what Im looking for (How I missed it when I looked, I'll never know) :D

Iss Mneur - Thank you very much, thats exactly what I was wondering :). I'll have a better dig at everything and submit in a few days.

Im going to send in files for "Major Prathanya". Mainly because I know it can be compared to someone who has already been passed for the job. :)

Re: *UPDATED January 16th* BP2:WiH P1 Voice Acting Call
I've sent in files for Kassim, Solaris Control and Xinny.

 
Re: *UPDATED January 16th* BP2:WiH P1 Voice Acting Call
Excellent to see not only progress, but outstanding progress and enthusiasm. It's thrilling to see so much community support.
I think I might drop a few more roles in the bucket, now that the ones in need of a voice are apparent.  Better mike setup too.

I have a question - will any of the team members be contributing their own voices to the project? It's common practice for a 'small' mod in most genres, but Blue Planet is a very different animal...

If any of the Team is going to contribute their own voices to the project, they will have to go through the same audition process as every one else.

As far as I know, none of the Blue Planet team have auditioned thus far.  I do not plan on submitting any auditions, but obviously I cannot speak for anyone else on the team.

I auditioned for the role of Sam in AoA and then rejected myself. Rian did some work in AoA and was decent. Other than her I doubt you'll hear many/any team members.
