ROLL CALL: Voiceacting Derelict
*Curses his lack of privacy*

If you're willing to wait a while, I could get Lt. Faulkner done. I'll take a look at the lines and send you a sample if you'd like. Are you looking for a particular type of American speech BR, New Yorkese, Bostonian, Southern, or something else, maybe non-regional?

The standalone campaign thing would be nice, but if it's too much work don't bother. I would like to hear the other voices though to hear who I am talking too. I would also like to hear who plays command, because that guy in FS2 had a unique voice and it would be hard to duplicate it.


Ah, the problem with that is not all of the parts are finished yet, so you'd have to wait until pretty much everybody else had finished.

A sample would be welcome. I don't know about specific accent - whatever seems appropriate for a deep-cover operative would be fine. I say American only because a) of Snipes, and b) because I have a non-American special ops voice already, somebody who actually introduces Faulkner and has his own loop, and I'd like a strong contrast between the two GTVI commanders.

I hear you about that.  I would have been done at least a month sooner were it not for lack of time to myself.  Somehow, I don't think that either my roommate or my parents would see voiceacting as a strong sign of normalcy. :p

I would take a shot at Faulkner (seeing as there's no name next to it) but I'm 13, I don't think people would want my voice. IF I did, it would be kinda germanish/british..ish/russianish, kinda like Nightcrawler.

[color=66ff00]There's a lot of variation in non-american voices Blaise, you might be happily surprised if you keep your options open. :nod:

I tried to do some voice acting in the past but fell foul of the same problems the others had, no privacy and lack of time. The number of times it can take just to get some lines right is a bit annoying if you're not getting anywhere. Also it's sometimes hard to find that fine line between being emotive and overacting.

Don't get me wrong, as a non-American I am aware of this. :) It's just that Faulkner would sound strange to my mind's ear as anything but an English-speaker, and British accents would be too similar to the other GTVI voice.

'Course, mainly it's the Snipes connection I'd like to highlight, seeing as he's a carbon copy of everyone's favourite SOC Lt. Commander and all.

But it may not matter, Faulkner may be getting voiced. Unfortunately, there's been a minor disaster on another front and Part 5 has been opened up, so if anyone would like to get cracking on that, I'd appreciate it.

Alas, my host has decided to play silly buggers. Luckily, Sectorgame is here to rescue us.

Alpha 2
Alpha 3
Faulkner
Part 1
Part 5
Vasudans

May be advisable to save these in case of further disaster. :S

I've played the old Derelict once, and like it better than FS2, especially those first few missions with voice-acting pilots chatters.  So I keep checking this thread to see how the project goes.
And bump it to show my appreciation and support ;7

Samples sent to the mail listed on page 1 BR.

Hope it's not to late to get involved.

Have anyone doing the vasudan voices yet?
I know I played a part that gives my voice a lot of exposure, but I'm curious about the other parts.  I'd contribute whatever I can.
But, since I'm at home at slow crappy dialup, I'd have to compress my WAV's into MP3's or OGGs, which could be converted back to wav's for easy editing.  I got two weeks till school starts up again. I woulda tried re-volunteering over the summer but summer school got in the way, really bad.

 
ROLL CALL: Voiceacting Derelict
Blaise, I've been working on part5 like you sent and I've done most of the ones there. I should have them all finished by Friday at the earliest.

Just giving you a status update, and, if you need it, I will also gladly do the part1 lines. Don't be afraid to load me with lines...

  
ROLL CALL: Voiceacting Derelict
Ahck.. I wish I had spotted this thread earlier when I had access to a production studio* and someone to help clean up the recordings. Do you still need any voice actors? I could manage to get a moderate microphone to do the job although I'm heading into the country for three weeks and wouldn't be able to start till after.

 Either way I'm delighted to see Derelict get complete Audio. :)





*I was the guy with the mop, the guy who picked up lunch orders and the one who occasionaly did very very basic audio work. I am in no way competent when it comes to production.

All my mission 1 voices sent to your mail (the wrong one oops) so check your hotmail. I need your gmail addy again. I was gonna wait to do the others after feedback, but since I am in the zone I'll just go ahead and do all the rest right now since I have a good 2-3 more hours without disturbing my room mate. IF we end up not using them no biggie, at least I get more familiar with the lines.

[EDIT]  I screwed up all the mission 1 labeled lines are my first mission  (12) I missed your D's with numbers between the missions, but corrected this for future ones..

BTW the other three mission voices are DONE! They just need to be sent to you and reviewed for approval... God that name was a tounge-twister... lol.

Just out of curiosity, I've done all of part5 and I still have a heap of spare time I can devote to VAing. If part1 is not being done, of, if it is and people want to give me some lines from it I'd be pleased.

The two groups of lines I'm looking for are: the GTVX Gorgon and the command of the RnD group of the Nyarlathotep.

Just trying to be helpful.

Mainly cause I really like those lines. :)

That's good to hear. This news, along with completed processing of the other voices, plus updates from MatthewPapa and Azrael15, means that Derelict is close to being fully voiceacted... oh yes...

Also good news. First of all, send the part5 lines (plus the Luxor) over pronto! Secondly, I'll ask MatthewPapa if he wouldn't mind loaning you Hadamard and Gorgon.

Thirdly, I have a different opportunity for you. How would you like to voice the GVC Seleket (D30), GVD Reseph (D42), GVD Nekhbet, GVCv Estennu (D44), GVCv Qualmotep and the GVCv Sopedu?

The Qualmotep is in 9, 10 and 15 (conflicting with the Luxor and Kappa 1) and the Sopedu is in 34 (conflicting with the Beaufort) but I can edit your voice as part of the translatorification process so that it's deeper or higher or generally different. Plus it'll be less obvious than me talking to myself.

Not quite what you wanted, but it's there. I'll look into the other two.

Unfortunately, you're right. However, you're not in every mission, so there are several places where you filling in would be very, very helpful.

I've picked out some lines for you to do. It's a little more complicated, due to the way I've lumped individual parts together, so I'll write them all out here.

Code: [Select]
Omicron M8:

Alpha, this is Omicron. We stand ready to assist.



Alpha M10:

You are in no condition to fight, pirate.

The GVT Isiroth has been notified of the situation and is en route now.

To whom do you report, Ithaca?

As you wish.

M11:

Escher, this is Alpha wing, what is your status?



Vuk D31:

This is the GVFr Vuk and Phi wing. We were attacked by Shivans on our way out from the mining platform. Be on your guard, Alpha.

Reading incoming bombers, Alpha wing.

We have reached the exit point. Departing now.


Plus also all of the GVCv Andrasta, D25 and D36?





It's a lot to ask, and both of you have done more than enough, and if you don't want to or can't do this, that's not a problem, I've got my own versions and editing makes them sound quite different. However, if you could do these parts, there'd be less repetition and more awesomeness all round.

I'm almost sad to say this, but no, things appear to be running smoothly. However, I am grateful for the offer, and if I still need a voice actor when you're available again, I'll know where to go. :)

Hey BR, Sorry about the missing lines! I think I mis-edited them over cause about that time I noticed my mic was bumped away from me and upon playback they were really soft adn lame. I deleted them and fixed my mic again and recorded more but I guess I started labeling them wrong so they got out of order and I didnt notice them. I was so intent on knocking them all out asap for feedback and to get them finished.

Good news they are done (10 mins ago)...

Come on guys pick up the slack! (just kidding)

BTW:  Is derelict gonna be revamped to take advantage of SCP? Or is this merely a voice patch? Will we DL the entire campaign or just throw in Voice files to the old installs?

I came in late so I might have missed early discussion about this. (so please forgive)

Technically speaking, the SCP patch has been done. I wanted to replay Derelict but couldn't bear to be without all the great FSOpen features and Lightspeed's graphical enhancements, so I created an edited version that included all that, and fixed up a few bugs (and introduced one or two more :nervous: ) and released it to the general public.

That sparked off a project to get Derelict fully voice-acted, the progress of which you are seeing (and doing) today. :)

 
ROLL CALL: Voiceacting Derelict
Blaise, I will send them ASAP. I'm just doing some small touch ups and making sure it's all in good condition.
