Sure, I noticed them on the Assabus Bentus lines and Fargoth - on p's in both cases ("camp" and "imperials") are the first words I noticed pops on.

So I was confused about this, because I have a wind screen and was at least a couple feet away from the mic when I recorded. I looked them over and there aren't any pops. I can see why you would think that, though, because I was annunciating quite a lot. I am a theater actor and we are trained to really "pop" our consonants. The sounds you are hearing there aren't mic pops, they are just me annunciating really well.

If you don't think so, take a look at the waveform.

Hi there, I originally submitted a carnius, but Coltess does a much better job then I ever could. So I thought I'd try my hand at General Darius. I thought I'd keep it cheerful for him:

I also did some samples of a Dunmer Voice just reading from Divayth, let me know if the voice is any good or if I'm just peddling bad stuff to y'all:

I want any/all criticism you guys have to give me! Thanks!

 

Youve got a voice that I think could do Imperials quite well, but you need to really own this part.  Imperials have a commanding personality anyway, and you are a General.  You are a badass in Templar armor.  You are the one they put in charge of a unit of ORCS.  He is also the first Imperial the green legionaries will receive quests from, so at this point, they really are the proverbial 'maggots'.  I'm not saying you have to be a drill sergeant stereotype (though you could be), but you need to make sure your voice carries all the authority you can muster, and that it just exudes the confidence of a man who 'doesn't have time for your sass'.

As for the Dunmer, you're going about it the wrong way.  That's the voice of Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget, only not as clear and deep.  Listen to the samples linked earlier for some good ideas on how to get that raspy sound without it sounding too forced.

Just wanted to say real quick, it's great to see more ladies posting more samples. Awesome job so far, gals, let's rock these lines! :D

Hi, was there any sort of consensus about whether or not pitch modification was acceptable? Because I've tinkered a bit, and I have a few that I'd actually like to put out as serious auditions. One of which, Carnius Magius, I showed how I modified earlier, however I've touched up the voice a bit since then and would like to seriously audition with it and a few others.

Damn, son!  Bottle that Carnius Magius up and you could make gangbusters!  But yeah, if you did some editry on his voice, I think it sounds pretty good.  There's something odd that too much editing can do that makes esses seem 'off', but I'll leave it to Lango to decide if it will be an issue in this case.  

I still think your Eris is great.  Mervis sounds a bit like Carth from Knights of the Old Republic - or Mass Effect, I can't remember which.  Try for something a bit more like Eris.  I've posted several links to other Dunmer voice actors' work a few posts above.

Pretty sure Lord Cluttermonkey's not getting put in   

As for Snorri and Hoki, I think Lango will say they need some work.  He wants the Nords to come across as Old Norse (not just modern-day Scandies).  I, myself, suck at the 'r' sounds.  But if you can, here's a good video detailing what Old Norse sounds like.

Okey dokey. I won't be in the studio again until Friday, but I'll do an entire fresh start with Mervis and, if I can get a Nord down, give that a go.

Ok guys, I came up with some fun voices for some characters. Check these out:

• Aengoth the Jewler (Bosmer)
• Dro'Zhirr (Khajiit)
• Krazzt (Dremora)
• Fargoth (Bosmer)
• Balyn Omavel (Dunmer)
• Ra'Tesh (Khajiit)
• Effe Tei (Argonian)
• Assabus Bentus (Dunmer)
• Anahaedra (Dremora)
• Aren Maren (Dunmer)

I definitely think my voice best suits the Bosmer. I can always re-record things if they aren't satisfactory. Let me know what ya'll think!

i think you did a good dunmer-voice with Assabus Bentus. It both had character, and enough raspyness imo.

Hey guys, I'm going to be packaging up a VA release this weekend so if your quick you might get you recordings in this release XD good luck.

Could someone please create a new dialog excel sheet with all the Skyrim filenames instead of the oblivion ones.

At the moment I have to find each quest and line fine name one at a time. Its sooo time consuming.

Hey! I think I finally figured out how this thing works XD

Here is my try at the character Baissa:

I'm also posting a Skyrim-centric demo for you to listen to

https://app.box.com/s/74dvlonny0yz88orgopc

My hope is that you might be able to tell me which characters you think I might be suited for.  

I also made this little boredom clip - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bC1ZFEBAnQ

Again, just incase it helps with ideas of who I should try for ^_^

Your Hermaeus Mora cracked me up!  I think you've got a very nice voice - and a malleable one.  I want to see this malleability put to the test... What we need most of all, are women who can do Dunmer voices.  Some of your voices in the 'Skyrim' audition (as well as Namira and Nocturnal) have a nice maturity to them that could make for wonderful Dunmer with some work.  The Dunmer in Morrowind were voiced by Linda Kenyon, who is herself elderly.  She also voices ALL the elves in Oblivion, so you can listen to lines from that game for an idea of what to emulate.

I notice she is very articulate when she speaks - slow and deliberate.  Her voice is clear and commanding with a slight quaver that marks her characters as assertive and wise beyond years.  It is difficult to combine these aspects in a voice, but it perfectly encapsulates the essence of the Dunmeri wise woman.  Your voice should have a thoughtful and slow rhythm to it, don't rush it.  Maya Angelou has the perfect rhythm for an Ashlander wise-woman.  Dunmer women are dour, but passionate.  Their anger is a righteous one, with the power of ages behind it.  A good inspiration for 'angry' Dunmer would be Storm from the X-men annimated series (not Halle Berry).

It might be tough to nail it down, but if you can pull off a crisp-quaverly mature voice aged with wisdom - you will be the queen of kudos!  And I'm sure we can find you some really great lines ;)

Ok So bosmer were quite good, lol hint of cartman in that first one, dont be afraid to go a little kermit the frog either lol.

Agreed with idontknow. . the assabus was the best dunmer and in my opinion close enough to what we need!

For the variation, we do infact want some variation but due to limitations in the dialogue set up many characters will share the same general of misc lines from the same actor while his unique lines may be done from a different actor so alas we do need to have them sound at least a bit similar, so variation is good but we cant stray too far. . .

And finally if that is just you annunciating too clearly then you will have to tone it down in future recordings as in game it will simply sound like a pop

Ok I can do that. If you want me to record some misc. lines or sounds or anything let me know! That could be a lot of fun. I would love to record combat sounds and stuff.

Thinking about trying out Dunmer Male or possibly Vivec, will try out some recordings, and post them here...

Hi guys, I'm a bit new to the process, but I'd really like to do some voice work. I haven't played much of the games but I've seen a little and got a chance to try out the intros to Morrowind and Skyrim. I had to do some research on the character races, so I don't know if they are quite right but I picked out a few to experiment. The sound quality is not ideal on some of the clips because I'm learning as I go, but I've got a Shure pg42 microphone with Audacity software and I recently received an offer of help from a friend, so I should improve. I'm always open to advice and suggestions. 

I saw that you need a lot of Dunmer so I made an attempt but altered the pitch a wee bit to deepen my voice a little. I could turn the acting up a notch on some of them as well, I just didn't want to overdo it. Also, if you have any other ideas for characters I would be better suited to, I'd be happy to try them out.

I've posted before, and gotten great feedback from some of you. Here goes an official audition for the Nord Botrir. Critical feedback is welcome as always :)

I really like the quality of the voice, a nice deep Old Norse.  This particular line is said when the player refuses to give the axe back to the Nord after taking it back from the witch who stole it - an attack on the player is imminent.  So be angry!

Hi, here's a demo for the role of Queen Mother Barenziah. thanks!

thank you!
