Well, we are, despite all popular belief, still working - and we're about to reach a point where the help of the community will be required. In order to gather such help, I'm opening the recruiting process for voice actors. If you think you have a good voice at the mike, and want to help us make Machina Terra the best experience possible, this is what you're looking for!

What you need:
- Desire to spend time and effort helping MT
- Will to record the voices without disclosing the text to any other parties
- A microphone and a good sound program

How you do it:
- Record the following lines, in WAV format, settings at 22KHz, 16bit, mono.
- Don't add any kind of sound effect or background
- Send the files to [email protected], zipped

Sample 1: -sample-01.wav
Epsilon wing on station, moving to escort positions.

Sample 2: -sample-02.wav
Constantinople here, everything ready to initiate jump sequence. Wish us luck, everyone

Sample 3: -sample-03.wav
By twelve hundred hours today, the first enemy ship had breached our blockade at Polaris. The destroyer is hiding somewhere in the outskirts of the system, and may strike at any moment.


Pack all the files in a zip named -samples.zip, and mail it to the address I mentioned above, with the subject "Machina Terra - Voice Acting". If you have any preference for any kind of role, state it on the body of the mail.

Any questions, feel free to ask...

i might start voice acting for you people, but i dont know about how i could get those files off of my computer and emailed to you. i have a computer upstairs in my room and its good and all, but it dont have a modem or any sort of internet connection. it sucks. somehow i migh tbe able to get some stuff to you on floppys with some file transfers and all, but i dont know.

[IceFire]

I might voice act GOOD GOD!

[Zeronet]

How do i get it to 16bit mono? Mines on 8bit.

[Styxx]

Well, it usually is pretty clear on the recording options... but it depends on the program you're using.

[Zeronet]

It wasnt clear but i did it anyway. Know any good programs? I dont think the one that comes with windows cuts it.

[Styxx]

I like Goldwave, that can be downloaded from www.goldwave.com

[Zeronet]

Fiquring it out now.

[Kamikaze]

Well if you want my Asianesque voice in the campaign I might do this...

[IceFire]

Accents are good

I've got a Canadian accent (one of them anyways)

[Styxx]

Any and all accents are welcome. We need people to do the Vasudan translators too...

[Stargazer_2098]

If you want to have a computer-voice to "translate" the Vesudan talk, you may want to use a program called say-it. Try to search for this program on Yahoo.com. The program is free and easy to use.

[Zeronet]

Yeah it comes up with 1000 useless results.

[Stargazer_2098]

Im realy sorry about this. The page you need to go to is http://www.freewarefiles.com/programs.php?categoryid=9&subcategoryid=105&ProgramID=583

There you will find the analogX program sayit.

The only thing you need to do is to wirte what you want to computer to say. You can then use your mick to record that sound.

Sorry again for sending you on a wild-goose-chase....

[Levyathan]

Thanks for the tip, I'll check that program.

HIRING?!?!?
*drops dead*
Wow, I never thought I'd see the day. Unless you want bad quality with a New England accent sound though, I'm afraid I can't help. I wish I could though...

[Levyathan]

What the hell?!

That post above wasn't mine... I think Styxx forgot to log off my account and accidentally posted with my name.

I've sent you my samples, but don't expect me to speak with such awful grammar.

Sid's right, I didn't notice, but it should be:

At twelve hundred hours today, the first enemy ship breached our blockade at Polaris.

Or...

By twelve hundred hours today, the first enemy ship had breached our blockade at Polaris.

Hm, ops. Updating. My bad.
