Karshaddii Posted July 20, 2002 Posted July 20, 2002 My current JO project is a SP level (hopefully one in a strand) called Catacombs of the Massassi. This is a rather long SP mission that relies heavily on a story-line that I hope to develop with later SP missions, and because it relies heavily on a story-line, I need voice actors. I do not want to spoil the story for anyone who wishes to be surprised—so I will not disclose much info on it just yet—but for those interested in voice acting—here’s the story in a nutcrackerE nutboxE nutshellE whateverE A mercenary under the employment of the Karnentelii, named Karshundinii, had just managed to throw off three mysterious ships that had been tracking him since he left NG-0517---or so he thought--- in reality they dropped their pursuit of The Raven’s Claw upon Karshundinii’s entrance of the Yavin System. Was it because of the heavy activity readings coming from the fourth moon of Yavin? With no choice but to land, as his ship had been damaged by his mysterious followers and badly needed refueling, Karshundinii skidded his ship to a halt where his sensors picked up the most activityEn the middle of a swamp. An accident leads Karshundii to stumble upon a secret of an ancient race called the Massassi, a secret that hundreds of years the Sith warred over, a secret that the Empire is now quietly seeking. Karshundii, already wanted by the Empire for his services to the Karsnentelii—who in turn aid the republic, is now wanted more than any other man for his knowledge of a secret that was not meant to be found. He must find the ancient secret before the Empire does, solve the riddles of the Massassi, and get out before a deadly mysterious force finds himE Work on the map is coming along great—I started a week ago and I already have much done—and if I do say so myself it is looking very, very sweet. After I finish the actual map part of the mission, (hopefully in 2 or three weeks from now) I hope to add many special effects and much monologue and dialogue to make the story come alive. I am going to need the following voices (!!!!!spoilers!!!!!) (In order of most lines to fewest lines) Stormtroopers Karshundii (hoping for a Indiana Jones/SSnake/Kyle Katarn but with a heart)---main character Imperial Archeologists A Sith Warlord Spooky, wispery, echoing voicesE(like you would hear in a haunted crypt) A very, very, very, evil being rich with evil-like sound effects. If you are interested (in voice acting) send me an e-mail at: kastraelie@clearsource.net

Darkblade Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 Karshaddii, your e-mail box is constantly full. Anyways. I'm glad that you liked the samples. Send scripts for any part you wish me to make and I'll do them for you. e-mail address is still the same mauri.majanoja@pertteli.salonseutu.fi
Karshaddii Posted July 25, 2002 Author Posted July 25, 2002 My E-mail box is full???? how could that be--try sending me sumthin--I think I might have fixed the problem that I didnt know existed = )
Emon Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 I would recommend downloading CoolEdit 2000 for voice editing. Unlike GoldWave, it can raise/lower the pitch of a sound or voice without distorting it. Get it from: http://www.cooledit.com/
JediGhost[SITH] Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 Advice to the Maker of the SP Mission: Make sure none of the voices are cheesy. Nothing is worse than a high-pithced 12 year old pretending to have a deep, low, sith-lord voice. (Not insulting anyone, just using that as an example).
Lucreides Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 I've tried several times to send you an e-mail, I am encountering the same problems others have had (mailbox full). Anyway, here's what I need to know: Is the script what you sent me to read for the voice samples, or have you just not sent the part of the script yet?
Drakewl Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 although qualitywise a deep real voice is unreplacable for a deep ingame voice, the voice could be cheesy, if you dont have a deep one available even with an average sound editing programm and a little bit of knowledge, you should be able to change the sound of a voice somewhat, it just comes with a lot of trying and tweaking ever wondered why interpreters have a remarkable voice on a recorded song but are sounding awful in concert

If my mailbox is STILL full--then you are going to have to get the recs to me by MSN kastraelie@clearsource.net To the voice actor who has the part of Karshundii, Matthew Arringto-- I need to contact you--as I have MUCH stuff to give you = ) Emon--thnx a bunch--cooledit is cool... And yes, I understand that cheesy voice acting ruins a game--but I got some excellent actors. Speaking of actors.... I NEED SOME STORMTROOPERS!!! They have the biggest role to play = ( Don't you have any other e-mail address where we could contact you? No need to post it here but send it to all voiceactors. And about those Stormtroopers, give me some scripts and I'll try to make some of 'em. (Haven't used my normal voice yet. )

Also... send me a script for Stormtroopers. I can try to make something for them too... you can then be the judge to decide will you use them or not.
