ROLL CALL: Voiceacting Derelict
Quote
Blaise, do you want the original voice files?
If you're trying to recapture the original 'feel' of Derelict with voice (ESPESCIALLY Alpha 2 :D :lol:), it might give your actors something to aspire to ;)


Hmm... that's a tough 'un. On the one hand, it'd be handy for inspiration. On the other, it'd be better to have people voicing their parts normally than attempting to imitate somebody else's voice and not quite get it.

Quote
I'll take a bitpart package: I'm looking at 3,4 and 5 now. Should they be bland or should we ham it up? The original voiceacting was really only average.


Good question. I think if it's a big/recurring part (e.g. Cypher, one of the pilots) then it might be best to play it straight. However, if it's quite short, then ham it up all you like, 'cause they'll be more exciting that way.

Oh, a note: Alphas 5 and 6 aren't recurring characters, they're just the names I gave the disposable pilots that fly with the normal characters. If it's a different mission, then it's a different pilot.

I thought I'd mention that there are still spelling errors left


Good work, I'll make a note of these. If anyone notices any other errors copied over from the original text, or for that matter any new bugs or silliness, please tell me - it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks Blaise, I'll get some samples to you tonight.  
Now for the specific format.  Do you want them in raw WAV format, IMA ADPCM Compressed Wav format, or OGG, since the scp now supports OGG files.
If you want them in OGG, what parameters should we use? I'll be using Sound Forge Studio 6 for recording, and I have an encoder/decoder that will do just about any file format including ogg and lame mp3

I'll do bitpart 3 - I get do CNN, Cypher, and various pilots.  It might take me a while to get through it all, however: I'll post samples as soon as I have some.

Samples of me as Faulkner - tell me what you think!


Beautiful. Part confirmed. :)

Okay. If you want, you can follow the trend and provide a sample for confirmation, or just dive right in.

Good ol' normal WAV, please. My audio editing skills and tools = Windows Sound Recorder, pretty much.

I'll do bitpart 3


Sorry, Nix asked for that part already. :( There's still 2, 4, 5, Alpha 4, Tau Sigma and GTVA Command, though, and you're next in line for 3 if Nix changes his mind or whatever.

Blaise- Sent you samples in MP3 format just to cut down on size.  Will send final files in uncompressed wav.  

Charismatic - try messing around with the Mechanize tool.  I think that's how you would alter the voice to make it sound like it was run through the "vasudan to human translator".  I'm sure there's something like this for Sound Forge Studio 6 but I never have the time to search for it.
