Main character's voice (More voices)

ManicMatt · Thu 08/12/2005 22:58:29

I'm re-doing all my voices for my game (Secrets), now that I have a better quality microphone, and I saw it as an opportunity to perhaps change the lead voice.

The first voice on the following link is a possibility, while the second voice is the voice used originally. (The dialog was made up on the spot)

Here are three more voices (First one being like the one before)

The fourth and fifth are me showing my comical side! (Which are not for the main character!) Do you think the third one suits the character the best?

Which one would you prefer to hear throughout the game?

This is the character in the game:

(No crit on the actual character please!)

See, how fast I follow your posts? hehe

Anyway there is not much of a difference in both. I prefere the second one (the original).

I added some bass with the EQ and some distortion (<-just for fun!!!).

But it could be interesting to toy with various plug-ins or effects.

What does he actally say?

Ive got something like "Oh god. This is worse than that time i changed channels and blahblablah...

But it sounds good. The second one seems more like the type of voice that type of character would have, so i like that one better

"Oh god. This is worse than that time i changed the channel and Dale Winton was on the other side! Ugh!"

Dale Winton is an annoying presenter on TV.

Sob Nikolas! This dam site is telling me I'm downloading something already again! Stupid site! Argh!!! What's a proxy-server?

Glad to hear the second voice doesn't grate! (That was my main concern.)

More opinions please!

I like the new voice! It sounds more natural. The second voice sounds rather... put on. Like the character doesn't really have that voice =P I dislike it. o.o

I like the first voice a lot better. The second voice sounds very unnatural and forced.

I like the new one way better!

The first one is good, although the 2nd matches this character though. I'd also work on making it a bit more comprehensible though.

Thanks for your imput!

Hmmm so in general the first one is better, but the second one suits the character.

I wonder if I can blend the two...

I agree, intonation and technical quality is very good, the middle part is totally incomprehensible. Perhaps you should try to speak more slowly and try to pronouce properly all the time.

Anyway, voice acting is something terribly difficult (at least from my point of view) and I think you're doing great!

ManicMatt · Fri 09/12/2005 14:17:34

I'll try that seaduck. At any rate the subtitles will still be in the game!

I'm doing great? Oh good! 8)

I was thinking, I could keep the original voice for this game, and use the new voice for the next game I make!

The moderator let me double post so i could ask your opinion again! In my initial post is a new link with some more voices! Please have a listen!

Sir Bob · Sun 11/12/2005 18:40:08

Ahh! I can barly understand the fourth and fifth!

I still like the first one better.
