Voice Acting for Fan Missions/Official Missions


TheDemonFrog666

Recommended Posts

Hi I've recently started doing Let's Plays of The Dark Mod missions, and they've gotten a lot of comments and views. In my latest one, "A Score to Settle", I mentioned on a side note, totally randomly, that it would be fun to do voice acting for a game character. I got a comment from "b1k3rdude" regarding this:

 

"Glad you liked playing SH mission, and yes would love you to do some lines for us, so come on over to the TDM forums and ask for either Spings or myself!"

 

Well, I'm happily taking up that offer, and asking for Springheel or b1k3rdude, hopefully with the result of getting to do some voice acting

:D.

 

Thanks a bunch in advance, I think it sounds like a lot of fun. I've been thoroughly enjoying The Dark Mod with my playthroughs and would love to add something to it.

Welcome!

 

Our usual procedure is to have people record a few test lines with whatever voices they can do, and then I come up with a script that suits the voice.

 

But Biker might have something specific in mind for the campaign, I don't know.

Feel free to ask Frogger to do stuff for the mod Springs, the Mod as well as the campaign could def do with more guard voices.

I'd be happy to do guard voices if their needed! I've always had a soft spot for the original Thief guards...

I have had some experience with acting but never for an actual job, per se. Just tell me what I need to do! :D

Smashing, well can you do some test lines in your best guards voices - the only requirement we have is that there is next to no background nose if possible and that you try and position the mike so you don't overload the mic with P/Bs (by that I mean words beginning with -P and/or -B

 

NB - The same thing applies to you betpet.

 

We await your dulcet guardly goodness..

Some test lines:

 

"I wonder if I can nab something from the kitchen when I'm done?"

 

"Is that something over there?"

 

"My ears are playing tricks on me."

 

"Just make one little sound, villain, and you're done."

 

"To arms! There's an intruder!"

Haha this is going to be so much fun! I just have to find time. I'm going out of town for the weekend, but I can probably do them and have them ready by Monday or Tuesday. How will I go about sending them? Can you attach files to PM's?

And useing a laptop instead of a desktop PC to reduce fan noise etc.

I do have a laptop, but the mic picks up almost any sound it can get to in my room, so I doubt that will work. I have a quiet computer and I can do it when the house is completely empty :D

I don't think you can attach audio files, but if you PM me I can give my email.

Another good trick is to put a sheet over you and the mic. Keeps out background noise and reduces reverb, so I'm told.

And don't forget:

 

" Wah? whad is dat ova dere?" "Did i hear sumpin'?

 

Lol, nah just joking, from the walk through it doesn't sound like the voices you'd want to do.

I would still like some decent random lines for a player voice over....

 

Classics like Garrett was fond of:

 

"ugh, not the sewers AGAIN"

Dark is the sway that mows like a harvest

I've been swamped lately, but I finally managed to give them a listen. They're pretty good, but I'm not sure they're suitable for an entire vocal set in the core mod assets. We have enough vocal sets now that it's not worth adding new ones unless they're significantly better or different than what we already have.

 

I'm sure lots of people would be interested in your help for custom dialogue though, and Biker might like some help for the campaign.

Guards aren't really my type of voice style, but I'm pretty good at other character voices. Just give me some things to try out, I'm happy to experiment!

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
