WOOD ELF VOICE AUDITIONS

Submitted by Smitehammer on

This is where you can upload your Wood Elf (Bosmer) voice auditions.  Please keep this thread only for auditions - feedback and other comments relating to voice work can be posted in the hub thread.

Sample Lines

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Aengoth_the_Jeweler   You can find scrap metal in most Dwemer ruins. I wish I knew a better place to get some, but I don't. We need four pieces of scrap metal to be on the safe side, but you don't need to try and clear out a Dwemer ruin, just run in, snatch some, and get out.   http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Galbedir   Are you here for scrolls, outlander? Or are you here from some other enchantments? Or even soulgems? Whatever your enchanting needs, you've come to the right place.   Voice Descriptions


There are three basic tropes for male Bosmer in Morrowind.

1.) The whiny/annoying Bosmer: Fargoth  https://soundcloud.com/nickpoling/fargoth-bosmer

2.) The scheming sleeze-bucket: High Pockets (Steve Buscemi) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nLIbkjGzdA

3.) The Napoleon complex smug bastard: Gaenor (Wallace Shawn) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzaL8wiSjnM

Female Bosmer are generally bitchy bossy and shallow versions of Elle Wood from Legally Blonde.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NotqNgDLzU4

Three people in my house decided to play around with this, and I'll be posting all of them in this single post.

Both Travis and I went full blown Gaenor.

This one was quite funny, I'm pretty sure I butchered the accent (sorry [External image] ), but I ALWAYS play as a wood elf in The Elder Scrolls so I'd love to have a Bosmer with my voice. maybe sticking to my native English accent would be better? Who knows but let me know if I should try [External image].

I thought I would have a go at the Bosmer sound! Feedback is appreciated as always!

Hello, I've got quite a bit of amateur acting experience and I've done voice acting for a couple mods (Black Mesa and the Fallout 2 Restoration Project). I thought it might be fun to lend my voice to this mod, if I fit in anywhere.

Here's my take on a male wood elf (annoying type):

Mass Reply

The thing I hate most about Bosmer is that there are so relatively few of them in Vvardenfell.  A lot of decent voices for them, and it's going to be hard handing out the roles when the lines are finally sorted and ready to be recorded.  Again, big backlog - brusque replies.

 

Frenchifrench

A pretty good voice.  Sound quality is good.  I can’t think of anything to work on.

 

HCR321

Sound quality needs work.  A bit too nasal.

 

Danzqueen

Sound quality could use some work.  I’d like to hear some more substantial lines to gauge how you read longer lines.  Maybe go a little higher pitch if you can, for Bosmer.

 

Spartan152

Angrier, sleezier.  Voice isn’t bad, but you sound like ‘calm’ Buscemi.

 

Doublesickle

I like the different versions, and the sound quality is well done.

 

Jasonfortheworld

The sound quality is alright, but the voice isn’t quite one we’re going for.

 

Jaerem Baurus

Voice is alright.  No real feedback to offer.

 

Locoarts92

The accent is too thick - sorry.

 

Midright Trooper

The sound quality could be improved.  Second and third varieties are pretty good.  Could be a bit more ‘street tough’, but the voice is pretty good for that ‘flavor’ of Bosmer.

 

Vilenesko

Haha, I like this recording.  I like the ‘straight to business’ way you read Aengoth’s lines, and I especially like the way you read the lines for Gaenor.  Sound quality is nice, also.  You could get a bit more ‘flustered’ and angry for Gaenor, but all in all well done.

 

Skyrimpony100

Sound quality is off, and too Britishy.

 

MannyBerry

The sound quality is fine, and the voice is certainly whiny, but I don’t think the sound is quite what we’re going for.

 

ifoughtamudcrab

A lot of breaths.  You’re reading the lines fast, which isn’t terrible for Bosmer, but it would be with a sense of urgency that isn’t in your reading.

 

hazencruz

Biggest issue is sound quality.  And the voices don’t easily fall into one of the three categories most Bosmer seem to fall into.

 

LiamHind

Quiet recording, and seems you’re forcing your voice to go higher than is naturally in your range.

 

Duke

One of the few characters I don’t think your voice quite fits.

ScarSymmetry

A bit of noise, and the voice doesn’t have the hallmarks of ‘Bosmer’.

 

BalruneDarkbrew

Sound quality issues.

 

Polygraph

This voice isn’t what we’re looking for.

 

fhudkins

The voice isn’t good for Bosmer, but might not be terrible for some of the other races with a little tweaking.  If you’ve auditioned for Imperial or Altmer, I’ll get to those eventually.

 

nandrejco

Sound quality could be improved a bit.  Voice could follow one of the three tropes more for an idea of placement.

 

ShadowScribe

Sound could be cleaned a bit.  There’s some echo.  The voice itself doesn’t quite work for Bosmer, but might work for Breton.

 

Merkaba

None of the voices are terrible for Bosmer, but the sound quality needs to be improved.  Noise in the background, but generally well acted.

 

Terigaeraq

Sound seems a bit… muffled?  Other than that, not bad.

Siofra Cleere

Listening to a few of your clips, you can definitely handle wood elves.

 

mitchj111

Heh, the accent isn’t doing it for me.  Might want to try one of the other races where a British accent works more in your favor?

 

RooksDA

Deepish Britishish accent doesn’t quite work for Bosmer, but you might be good for other races.

 

Adam Dravian

There’s a low hum in the background, but the voice itself is pretty good.  Sounds like you’re really ‘selling it’ in the second clip.

 

Fefnir

Not bad, you pull off a ‘cheerful’ sort of Bosmer well.

Wood elf impressions

The first is possibly channeling the science advisor from Civ2 if anyone remembers it...

The second is less bouncy.

Hello folks! Ben Wilk here, I found out about this project and I decided to do some auditions, I will also put a link to my Vocal Demo here just in case there is a voice that you feel may work for the project.

https://soundcloud.com/ben-wilk/vocal-demo-1

Feel free to be harsh if needed, as long as it is constructive so that I can try to improve from it.

Here's a new audition for Bosmers. I used scripts from the old files for Galbedir and Eraldil. I think the Eraldil track may be closer to what you're looking for, but I wanted to try a different pitch for each character. =)

Recorded from my studio with an Audio Technica AT2020.  I can go lower or higher, I've been trained to have a very flexable voice.

Here is my audition for the Wood Elf part. I could 'cartoon' the voice up or bring it down if you would like. This is what I usually sound like when I try a Buscemi-type voice.

So, I finally did a wood elf, and it only took me 2 minutes or less to record and edit...hopefully you like this voice.  :D

So it's been a while, but I thought I would repost my audition for Bosmer, since there wasn't any criticism for it. Here are three recordings of the same line, Each with slightly different vocal inflections. Criticism always appreciated!

Best Regards

Here's my Gaenor audition, which could also work as a generic Wood Elf voice:

Here's my High Pockets, where I tone down the nasal twang a bit:

And here's two attempts at Fargoth, where I crank the obnoxiousness up to eleven:

My friend Ben recorded another sample of the scheeming sleeze bucket for the character of New-Shoes Bragor. Came out pretty funny! xD

Hi Guys, been out of the game for a while but I'm back with some takes on the races. This consists of two slightly different inflections of an American accent. Enjoy!

Male Wood Elf Audition

I am more than capable of a few different British accents if that is something you guys were looking for.

Hello, here is a submission to try and fill any remaining roles for a bosmer position.  I've used the sample in the first post for my script.  I've got more than enough free time and am willing to fill any position necessary.

Annoying

Less annoying
