Title: FreeSpace Campaign Restoration Project - Voice acting for Warzone
Post by: Mobius on May 18, 2007, 03:55:51 pm
As you probably know, we are about to fix all the bugs the main campaign had. Without considering the last mission, that will be almost completely redone, the campaign is complete....we can start with a nice voice acting  :cool:

Ransom Arceihn volunteered. I would like Moongose to give his help too, and any other actor is welcome. We can start whenever you want, just tell me that you want to voice act and I'll take care of the rest.  :nod:

*shameless plug*

Also, we'd be ever so grateful if potential voiceactors would playtest the latest WIP release, found in the FSCRP forum.

I'd be willing to do some voice acting. I'd probably be best in the role of a pilot or a cruiser captain, but what I'd really like to do is Russik.

I can also do a Vasudan voice or two.

Ransom Arceihn will take care of Russik, but there are several squadron leaders(a la main FS2 Campaign) and we are in need of Vasudan voices. You're welcome :)

I can do a (or more) vasudan voice(s) if you need additional ones.

Now "we" have 5 actors. Good.

Anyone else? :)

I'd be happy to lend my voice to this, though I still haven't gotten around to giving your improved version a run-through.  Put me down for whatever part you think I'd work best for. :)

You're welcome. We've just added more messages and debriefing stages in a mission and the last one is being revised. :)

And bugfixes.

Generally, it's a more polished version of the original campaign.  And it's not quite done yet.

If other people are eager to voice Russik, maybe we should audition for it. It's an important part and I wouldn't want to snatch it if someone else is capable of doing it better.

I don't know you voice actors, I don't know who can voice act Russik better than the others...

Post by: Admiral Nelson on May 21, 2007, 05:25:30 pm
I know Ransom's voice, but not Mad Bomber's.  Perhaps if you can post a sample for us or mention what campaigns you have done before?

I any event, we have tons of roles, and I have a prominent Admiral role available in another certain high profile yet unreleased campaign available...

If you have MSN, you could simply give me your voice samples. Please don't send me files in OGG format because my Adobe Audition is...vanished :blah:
Title: Re: FreeSpace Campaign Restoration Project - Voice acting for Warzone
Post by: Mad Bomber on May 21, 2007, 10:16:08 pm
Use Irfanview. It can open OGGs.

Anywho, I'll audition for Russik, gladly :D

I'll post the clips up here tomorrow sometime.

I swear I'll finally get around to this as soon as I possibly can, Mobius.  I've been utterly swamped as far as school goes, and even when I've had free time, I haven't been able to motivate myself to get started.  It might have to wait until early next week, since I'll be home for Thanksgiving, but I fully intend to get this stuff in to you.  I'm really sorry this has taken so long.

Ok, no problem. Use TSP as reference :)

Is there someone else? Just to have various voices in the campaign ;)

If you're still looking, I can do some. My natural accent is western european, but I can do a few different UK accents, and an extreme bad Scottish too.

I have no past experience with voice acting, but I have done stage acting in my native tongue :)

In any case, if you're still in need for someone, shoot me a PM.

I was hoping against hope that my ridiculously-late lines were the only ones you were still waiting on, so that this could finally get rolled out, but I guess that wasn't the case.  If any of the usual suspects around here have a bit of free time, please, see if you can lend Tinman a hand.  Most of these parts aren't very long at all, so they wouldn't require a huge commitment.
Title: Re: FreeSpace Campaign Restoration Project - Voice acting for Warzone

for the briefing I have a volunteer, so all other one's are only 2 to 5 lines... so drop me a PM

voice acting for Warzone is almost done...

a few new voices for pilot chatter are open, so plug your mic in and here we go:
E1M5 -> Wingman (male)
Varaha Launched
"The corvette has launched fighters!  Watch out, Alpha!"
E1M6 -> Wingman (male)
What?
"Command, I thought they had broken off ALL their attacks?!"
E2M2 -> Wingman (male)
What?
"What's that you're talking about Alpha 2?"
Running Scared?!?
"Whats going on out here!?!  We've got debris from a Shivan super-cap and you're telling us to be calm!"
E2M3 -> Wingman (male)
Can't Scan
"We can't scan the cargo!  Scanners won't penetrate, looks like some kind of shielding."


done!
Title: Re: FreeSpace Campaign Restoration Project - Voice acting for Warzone
Post by: Tinman on September 20, 2009, 12:32:08 pm
voice acting for Warzone is almost complete (92% done)...

here are the open lines for the  GTCv Britannia -> E1M6

Fleet Reporting
"This is the GTCv Britannia reporting in."

Two Cruisers
"Two cruisers are converging on our position.  Their weapon systems are active.  Make them a priority target, bombers!"

Powering Weapons
"Bringing main guns to bear on target!  Bombers, we need your firepower.  Eliminate the primary beam cannons.  We'll do the rest!"

Britannia Damage
"Britannia here, we've taken severe damage!  Repair teams have blocked decks 5, 6, and 7.  Getting power fluctuations all over the grid!"

Weapons 2
"Main guns have acquired the target.  Bombers, continue your run on the Revial's primary beam cannons!"

GTFr Troy  ->  E2M3

Troy Here
"This is the GTFr Troy, we are moving into position for cargo docking.  Standby."

If you want to contribute -> PM me the samples.  :)

Done.

Tinman contacted me by PM and I gave him  the address of my 4shared account http://www.4shared.com/dir/10795180/a20c52cb/EACW.html The quality is spotty in some as they were done ages ago and on a different mic.
I've gotten a much better one now and I'll see about recording the GTFr Troy, as a try out.

Hello !
I guess it's not needed anymore, but I would like to help with the Voice acting too.
Acutally, i was playing Warzone 5 minutes ago, and I started reading loudly on most of briefings...and since it's not voice acted, i  came to take a look.
However, i haven't Voice Acted anything yet <_<, i'm not really used to sound editing programs, and the best microphone i have is on some headset..

Even if i can't help with that campaign, could anyone here tell me how to start as a voice actor ?
I really find this interesting, and now that i played some non-voice acted campaign, i'm really willing to help to make them all voice acted :p

Yeah.  Sorry that took so long; it was nowhere near a month's work.  (I was just recruited for Admiral Cole in June.)  I just plain forgot about it until a discussion of the BP voice acting in the chat suddenly reminded me.  I went hunting for my BP lines in my VA folder, noticed the Warzone subfolder sitting there, and just head-desked.    :sigh:
