The female dunmer voice type is tricky, even if it's not the same sort of rasp as the males. Thank god for that, by the way--orcs were bad enough, and I find my voice going gravelly at the end of the day anyway. LOL 

I've just gone through and recorded another metric ton of stuff this weekend, which I'll be editing throughout the day tomorrow. I've noticed a few other gals posting links to some of the female lines they've been running, which is awesome! Since I've been running so many lines, I thought I'd post my own progress in case any other ladies want to see where they can improve a voice I've recorded for.

The more voices our project leads have to pick from, the better the final product will be. :D 

And don't worry, gals, if you see anything I've recorded that you're working on, or want to work on, do eet -- the leads will replace my stuff where appropriate. ;)

gigaflareGreat good job, now can you please do 200 Dunmer characters?

Ha! Well, can I start by requesting someone like: Assaba-Bentus or Fons Beren  and see how they go,  then see from there? ;D

@Veggie55 Yeah, 200 is a bit much, isn't it!? haha

@Veggie55 Yeah, 200 is a bit much, isn't it!? haha

Just a tad ;D

Hiya, I got a little confused about what steps to take now that I have recorded my lines for Mistress Therana. I've put them into a .zip folder and uploaded them here, they are all named correctly and in mp3 format. Sorry to leave them here but I am a little lost :)

Hey guys, after a few days working on it i finally release my project, it is something like a comment on what your actually doing (in the main quest) so tell me what you think about.

AAHHHH  The S sounds! they are piercing my skull!

AAHHHH  The S sounds! they are piercing my skull! 

At first I thought you were over-reacting. But yeah...OWIE(!) haha. Otherwise it sounds great Sharm!

Oh dear...should I run a de-esser over them or re-record all completely? 

And with the idea of jobe wan, there is the version with old man voice,

And to make it clear id like to do an off voice who explain each part of the main quest, because in morrowind there were a lost tendency. So give me your opinions about the 2 voices and about the idea thanks guys. So some feedback are wanted^^

I'd give the de-esser a shot first and see if it improves it without noticeable loss of quality (seeing as how re-recording is a lot more work!)

EDIT: I tried to clean one up a bit "fbmwMQ10_1HortatorAsSduty_00aa1f2b_1" but either the sibilance is either still noticeable or it sound noticeably affected. I also only spent 5 minutes on it over my lunch break, but still haha...

Sharm

Unless a de esser destroys the quality or doesn't work, use that. The other option is to edit every individual S that needs it in audacity. The second option is what i do personally because it gives me total control over the final sound (even if it is a ton of work).

Okay thanks guys, I'll run a de-esser over the files tomorrow and see how it sounds. I'm not sure how to edit each individual S in Audacity though :s If I end up having to re-record I don't mind, I want it to sound good ^.^

Second tutorial of mine. On the first post of this thread goes over S editing.

Samples for characters I would like to voice.

Im giving you, Furius, and cassius, for the nords i believe we were going a bit of a different direction with them as per Langos example so ill hold off on those 2 for a bit, the mudcrab was already voiced but i rather enjoyed your version so feel free to do him and we can put it to a vote or some such

 

Okay! I'll get to work on those Imperials. The Mudcrab I could not find his lines on the spreadsheet. Does he only have the three line listed on his UESP page?

On another note, Antonius Nuncius, and Burcanius Varo are alreday sumbitted to gigaflare.

There is a guy that is great at voice acting male Dunmers, just wanted to let you know. The name is MorrowindShorts on youtube. He said in one of his posts that he is avaliable for voice acting requests so, hope I helped :)

I would have contacted him myself but I'm not allowed to access youtube on an account so, no posts for me. If you need a link let me know.

Oh, ok. Sorry I didn't know.

By the way, you are doing a great job here, I wish I could help but I can't do any of the required things :/

I'll stick around though, see if anything I can do comes up, I'll be happy to help :D

I will assign you to those, but pick some Imperials before they are all gone, heck pick the rest of them!

If you're sure! It's a bit late here, but I'll take a look through some of the Imps (and more Dunmer) tomorrow :D

All right heres another bad attempt at a dunmer.

Alright, tried a different less clackety computer and learned how to have a continuous, constant fan on the laptop.  This let me reduce the noise dramatically.  So - posting this here just to check that the noise is acceptable now.  I've not done the de-essing or added bass or compressed or any of that good stuff yet.

Sounds MUCH better! :)

Never mind about Shazgob-gra Luzgan, I found his missing lines and finished him.

stijmunkey Yup I'm sure, unless I got things mixed up and I'm thinking of someone else's sample but I'm like 95% sure it was yours :p so if I'm right I thought the imperial was bloody perfect

Well, I remember somebody saying to put on more of a British accent for it, or will I leave it as it was with a kind of neutral one? (:

Hey guys quick fyi, I'm going to be pretty busy for this next week moving out of my apartment. So Stijmunkey should still be available for any q's (as per normal). Also my Skydrive will still be the place for completed characters.

Hey Guys,

I´ve just tried a few lines. I don´t really know what i should do so i just took a bit of everything. I would like you to tell me if my voice has any potential or if it is of no use at all. 

Thanks for the answers

Hey everyone. A friend sent me this way because he knew I liked to voice act. I gave a couple of lines a shot, just to see if you think my voice is acceptable for certain races.

These are, for the most part, completely unedited. I only cleaned up the noise a little, and normalized it. No compression, no de-essing.

Dunmer (Bols Indalen): https://db.tt/rKecTfyC

Argonian (He-Who-Stands-There): https://db.tt/cr14OiDI

I'm willing to tweak my voice based on suggestions, so please feel free to pick at my lines.

Your Dunmer voice would sound fantastic for an Argonian ;D

 

 

Also, I'm not quite finished the first Dunmer characters I've picked, but I'm also working on Imperials' lines. So far I've got Zeno Faustus finished, assuming I was right that he wasn't taken?
I'm kinda going through the Imperials randomly, but I'll upload the ones I get done at the end of the week, along with the Dunmer; It's a start :p

I'm inclined to agree.  Neither of these voices are quite there for Dunmer or Argonian, but if you incorporated your rasp and slow airy qualities of your Dunmer voice to your current Argonian voice, you'd probably make a hell of an Argonian.

So, if I just made my Argonian more raspy and airy? Listening to my Argonian line again, I do admit that it's too clear and smooth, too "straight-spoken." Perhaps this is better?

Bada bing!  That's an Argonian.

The way you said easier was a little strange... but otherwise, i think it is cool :)

I'll redo the line if I get the go-ahead to officially record for He-Who-Stands-There. Who assigns the roles? Do I need to do anything else right now? :)

Great! I'll get on it.

Also I just realized that I've been getting his name wrong this entire time... It's Only-He-Stands-There. Oops.

EDIT: Also I just realized that I only got his name wrong once. Oops.

EDIT: And now I realize that I got it wrong twice. What am I even doing? >.>"

Hello. I wanted to help out the best I could with morroblivion and skywind. but since I'm no good 3D modeling and game devopment stuff, i have decided to voice act. thing is I have no clue if I'm good at it. But here is my voice acting file. I did the lines of Hidar in my trial. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3tPT3xJW9ZlTFZ1UjZORGRiNkk/edit

 I would like to help with voice acting and am not sure which files to download or look at or whatever; I would like to do a main quest character and/or Breton/ Imperial male misc. voice, can only do male human voices though-- well anyway.

P.S.

 

I am willing to try any voice type y'all want me to do.

It says I don't have permission to view the files. Try uploading them using the forum's attachment feature, or use a file uploader like Dropbox.

Download the spreadsheet (it's on the second post of this thread,) then look at the first post of this thread to see which roles are open. As of writing this, all male main quest characters are assigned or completed, and all Breton characters have been taken, but there are some Imperial and Nord characters for you to try. Find a character, record one or two of his lines, then post it here for approval. Just go for it! :)

All right, I really need some feed-back on this dunmer XD I just wish Jeff Baker didn't raise the bar so dang high haha.

Okay, so I have two versions, are either of these on the right track at all?

 

 

Side side note:Since I finished off the rest of the orcs, if no one is working on and is ok with it, I'd like to do the generic voices for the Orcs. 

Ryizine

All right, I really need some feed-back on this dunmer XD I just wish Jeff Baker didn't raise the bar so dang high haha.

I don't think the Dunmer's going to work out...

The voice is supposed to be almost entirely rasp, with very little of your 'real' voice coming through.  This seems forced, which it should not be.  Just keep listening to other Dunmer voices and see if you can unlock the secret of the rasp.

For me, in place of my natural voice between rasps, I tend to go to a light almost-throat-singing.  But you need to get the rasp down before that would be helpful.

Yeah :/ every time I try and get the rasp, I just make a better orc haha..it's going to be slow going with the difficulty in voicing dunmer it seems. Also I added a second try for reference.

Hi i would like to speak for Ulfgar the unending,

 

but there was no dialogue for him on the list, so i improvised.

i could wright a dialouge for him if you like. at least i can try :)

I don't think the voice quality is quite there, are you running it through audacity first? It sounds a little, mumbly.

What are you talking about? Ulfgars dialogue is on the spreadsheet.

The example you gave also sounds like a mumbling mess.
