Gabez Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 Ah jeeze, this is where I start feeling guilty. But to be honest, it was bad voice acting. I'm sorry, it was. Not that I'm saying I could do any better - as I said before, voice acting is a lot harder than people think, and what you've achieved is a good place to start. Out of interest, what part did you play? Some characters were better than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaws Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I played one of the important looking pirates .. the one that kinda sounds like one of the lawyers in EMI when I say "Why bother us?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 Okay, well, in all honesty, you're the best voice actor in the whole damn thing. Unfortunately, that's not saying much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabez Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 Well said! To be honest, I think the voice acting was made a lot worse by the poor script and mixing. For instance, one of the reasons the important looking pirates sounded crap was because they all sounded different - only Jaws sounded like he should have (the second one sounded like she was from one of those dodgy sex phone lines WTF was up with that; the other sounded like she was a train platform announcer or something). I reckon they should have moulded the three pirates into one, and had Jaws do it, or else got simmilar sounding actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaws Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Okay, well, in all honesty, you're the best voice actor in the whole damn thing. Unfortunately, that's not saying much... hehe, thank you. One could blame the crappyness of the play on mixing and bad quality mic's. But you also have to remember, that we are inexperienced... and most of us have english as a second language. and obviously we will sound bad when compared to someone with excelent sound quality, experience and english as a native tounge. We are called amature voice actors as a reason. And as far as I know, for most of the other actors involved this was their first attempt at something like this.

Gabez Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 Good for you! I'm sorry I had to be so blunt in my criticisms. Good luck for any further voice acting work you do. P.S. I'm sure that you're a much much better voice actor than I am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaws Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Thanks, As for further work, I'm going to be in Bad Timing and Apprentice 1. And of course maybe some minor roles in Roger Foobelly. P.S. I'm sure that you're a much much better voice actor than I am! I wouldn't know, I've never heard you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 You've never heard of me? What does that tell you? And by Bad Timing, do you mean the adventure game? I faintly remember reading about that years ago and think it looked really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabez Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 Well, that's cool. I reckon you'll be great for it, really I do; game voices are harder to ruin by bad mixing than radio voices are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaws Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Well, that's cool. I reckon you'll be great for it, really I do; game voices are harder to ruin by bad mixing than radio voices are! Thank you yeah, and the guys in charge have more experience with this sort of thing, so mixing won't be a problem. I would upload some samples of my voice work, but the only server I have that on is the password protected Foodbelly server, and this forum doesn't have a uplady button thingy obviously. So blah. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
