What do other people think of these? To me they mostly sound very stiff and forced (except a couple near the end). I know he said she's a brit, but the accent actually sounds kind of fake to me. Maybe I'm being too picky, however.

For me as a non-native speaker her voice and accent are sounding pretty good. My only concern is the recording quality (her voice sometimes sounds from further off, probably because she's not keeping the same distance to the mic while talking.) - but this can be remedied of course.

 

While listening I was trying to imagine our noblewoman model in-game, and I think the voice is well suitable for that. She doesn't come off as "reading from the sheet" when doing these lines, which is a good thing.

 

In any case it's better than anything we have now, but that's not hard to beat.

Very good. Maybe a tiny trace of being forced but not significant. Her acting sounds reasonably natural. I would definitely accept. Hope she can do two or three voices. Slight pitch processing in eg, Cool Edit Pro, can help there too.

Off and on, for me. Some of them are really good, and some of them are poor and forced. Which I guess ultimately means: she's usable, it's just a matter of getting her to re-do any bad ones.

[Fidcal]

Yes. Imagine if a move producer rejected actors because every line was not perfect first take at the audition.

One thing, she doesn't sound too noble, in that current voice. I'd believe barmaid or toothless pauper.

That is exactly my view too. By all means let's not throw away potential acting volunteers, but we should make sure they are performing a role that actually suits their voice and delivery.
