Voice Actors

Yeah, the voice in the gta4 trailer is funny, although it doesn't sound like russian to me

I've done voices for video games and audio dramas as well as acting for the BBC, Paramount, Disney, etc. I would be interested in being a voice for more video games.

I do have a question, though. I would like to know a bit more about your project. Freeware? Shareware? Commercial? If it's anything but freeware, I would want some kind of compensation, especially for 10 hours of work.

I think everyone has done an excellent job so far!! The only thing that I ask you guys, is sometimes when you talk into the mic theres like a popping sound, almost like the mic was to close. I'm not very knowledgable about audio equipment, but maybe hold it a bit farther away..?

Thanks so much for your contributions thus far, heh I promise you'll find it really cool when you here them in game.

Please make sure that when you send me the files, you give me a permanant email address, because I need to know where to send the link for the beta, as well as other useful information about the game.

@ Lighthope, I would be willing to compensate a 10 hour contribution, that of course is a magical figure. There are only 3 rolls in the first chapter release of the game that would require more than a few minutes. The main character (who is not player controlled), the main enemy, and the narrator. All of these rolls are dead serious parts, and would require you to view the animations sequences and lypsynch to them, I honestly don't know how well this is going to go because it is out of my domain of knowledge, and I have never attempted this. I am planning about a 5 minute opening sequence that is narrated, along with a short movie at the end of the game (after defeating the final boss.

I may not have time to finish either of these because I don't have the time and I want to release the game by late october, early november,, so we will see.

For now I really need help with the NPC's, and the AI controlled heroes that the player can hire in towns. so to Blink and Lighthope, I would have to give this some more thought... But thanks alot for replying!

I've sent out several PM's at folks, and I forgot to keep copies of the PM's ive sent so I'm a bit confused. If I havnt PM'd you with some lines please give me a another PM so I can send some to you.


Have a great day!

For mic popping the best solution is to put a piece of cloth between you and the mic (for a very cheap solution a bandana over your face like a cowboy or bank-robber) the popping noise is a sharp rush of air that happens when you say letters like “P” and the cloth will disperse this, and give you very clear recordings every time. Incidentally I would be interested in a small part it sounds like fun.

if you have a wire clothes hanger shaped into a circle and a nylon women stocking(panty hose), you now have an old school pop stopper. i am older than you oldschoolj, lol.

I'm glad, because I didnt want to think that I was the oldest person on these forums, lol

ya like i said ive never done this sort of thing before. I can say this, all of my ingame characters and NPC's have full speaking, lypsynching capabilities, they are even able to match what you say and automatically move their mouths and muscles in their faces to match your words. But the software is very expensive and i can't afford to liscence it out. So I'm not sure what to do...

Is this voice acting offer still available?

I have a low (bass) voice with good presence and experience in both singing and stage acting. I am also experienced in speaking to a microphone in a way that produces good sound.

I can also do some accents:
-monotone like a robot
-mexican, sort of
-American
-Arnold Schwarzenegger
-old guy
-falsetto (man faking a womans voice)
-and some others

@ Metal_man
Well I do have a race of creatures called MechaAI, they were origonally created by a superior alien race that inhabited the planet long before humanoids. They are artificial life, and although I havnt given much thought to the way they sound when speaking, you could give me a pm with some robot like voices, and we can see if that fits.

Maybe you should put up a poster around the nearest high school drama club/class, a college theater arts department, or a community theater center.
They'll probably work for free and you'd have a consistent recording session where you have control, rather than the crusty sound-work of a bunch of cruddy geek microphones

I've got great results from people so far
but thats a good idea

lol, high-school actors have constantly full schedules: I've lost so much time to the musical "Anything Goes" and will probably lose a lot more time by the end. (It's a wonder how I cram in time for homework and GameStudio projects.... It's also a wonder how I'll then cram in time for recording my voice, but I'll just have to force it to work. )

What kind of voices are you in a specific need for?

i am definately interested^^

i am still available, pm if you need something.

Right now I could really use three distinctive voices, for 3 NPC's. A female voice for one of the main characters in the game. A male voice for a mystical beast creature who functions as the guru, and teacher for characters. And a noble but stronge voice for the chieftan of village.
If anyone would like to help jsut send me a PM I'd luv your support and greatly appreciate it

I will try to send you some samples tomorrow!

If you still need some people I could help,
I am British (not a posh acsent)
My friends and others say I have a evil laugh.
So If you want me then just pm me.

im half Australian and half British, i can do aussie, british, scotish, german, french and russian accents. i have been working with music and other varies sounds and equiptment for most of my life (even though im only 15 haha).
i also do lighting and graphic and modern art-work if that can be of any help towards you...(read my signiture for email address if interested.

cheers. -Chaotic_Dragon- aka instant_kill

I can do a robot voice, may I send some samples? If I do, is it ok if I process them a bit? I can make it sound more electronic that way.
