Voice Acting for Silent Threat: Reborn, Take Two
It's been about six months since I posted the original voice acting audition thread, so I figured it's high time to post another one.  There are still over twenty minor characters remaining plus a couple of major roles, so there's lots of opportunity if people are interested.  Here's what I've been posting on a few voice acting forums.  Please scroll down for audition info.



Silent Threat: Reborn is an 18-mission campaign for the videogame FreeSpace 2 that has been under development for several years and is now virtually complete, except for voice acting.  Our team has produced several previous expansion packs, both voice-acted and non-voice-acted, but we consider this our signature campaign.   As such, we want to give it the highest quality and polish possible, and that includes "professional" voice acting. :)

The story concerns two races, the Terrans (humans) and Vasudans (aliens), who have allied together to fight a war against the xenocidal Shivans (even more alien aliens).  That war has been won, at great cost, but a shadowy Terran government organization is conspiring behind the scenes.  While the Terrans are recovering from the war, this organization is maneuvering to overthrow the galactic government.  You are a Terran pilot who must uncover the conspiracy and stop it.

Below are some screenshots of previous campaigns we have produced.  Audition information follows after the screenshots.








Feel free to submit your auditions in any file format, but for the actual production we will need 44100hz mono WAV files (zipped please).  You may email your auditions to ipw47 at yahoo dot com

Minor Characters

There are a large number of characters with only one or two lines each.  Instead of holding a general audition for twenty instances of "random minor character", I've split off all the minor lines and listed them on their own separate page.  You can audition for as many characters as you want, and if your audition is selected, then the line you send (or the original, in WAV format) will be the line that's used in the game (unless you want to do any post-production or cleanup filtering on it).

Here is the list of minor characters and their roles.  As of now, there are 23 uncast minor characters.

Decided to give the Vasudan Translated part a try if it's still open, files sent.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

I never heard back so I'm guessing I didn't get the part.

Re: Voice Acting for Silent Threat: Reborn, Take Two
You guess wrong.

I contact everybody who auditions, whether they get a part or they didn't.  If you haven't heard anything, it's either because I haven't decided or I haven't gotten around to it yet.

In that case I'll send you something too. I posted in the previous thread with links to some samples of my voice acting for Raider Wars, but it might have been overlooked. ... email underway

Goober, have you heard LH Michael in Microsoft's Text-to-Speech translation before? It's on my other computer, but I can generate some speech from it for you to hear if you want it.

That's what I do to my campaigns, but after hearing beyond the red line I kinda feel spoiled. :p

Eh? What do you mean? Do you mean that you use speech-to-text translation programs?

So does TBP; Derelict glorifies them, in my opinion. :ick:

Yeah I just record them with specific voices and then play; although it doesn't sound professional at all :P
