ORC VOICE AUDITIONS

Submitted by Smitehammer on

This is where you can upload your Orc (Orsimer) 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:Bugrol_gro-Bagul   You wanna help? Sure you do, good friend. Look--those guys in Caldera think I did something bad, so they're looking for me. I'm too smart for them, though. I can hide real good. My friend can help me. Maybe you bring her a note for me? I can give you a present. Really!   http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Gashnakh_gra-Mughol   I'm the foreman here at Tel Uvirith. I keep the workers in line and make sure the job gets done, though these mushrooms just about grow themselves.   Voice Description:   Orcs in Morrowind, while not actually stupid, certainly have their intelligence allocated to parts of their brain other than those used for verbal communication.  While they excel at war tactics and crafting, their tribal nature still shines through.  For many, if not most, Cyrodillic (English) is used clumsily and their limited mastery of the language leaves other races assured of their stupidity.   Orc voices should be deep and perhaps a bit gravelly.  Tough.  Delivery can even be a bit choppy and abrubt.  Your voice should also account for the fact that orcs have huge tusks that get in the way of theor speech.  This would make 'S' sounds difficult.  Esses would sound instead like Sean Connery esses, a litle like 'sh'.

Here's another sample this time for Bugrol gro-Bagul! Here it is! https://soundcloud.com/mr-ray92/bugrol-gro-bagul-the-orc-thief

Couple things here, the audio is really messy so I would clean that up pronto so we can hear your voice better. Second thing, your orc could work, after that I would work on how you phrase your lines, sounds like you're just reading the script straight off the paper. I recommend reading your lines, and saying them a few times like you're actually the character, away from the script. In VA you gotta make us believe your lines.

I think it's just Smitehammer and Langotriel organizing the voice stuff so just give them a little time to sift through all the auditions(there's a ton), just don't lose hope and keep working on your race impressions. I found that when the voice guys were swamped from all the work that it's best to just improve your stuff, and keep auditioning. 

Oh, I know!
Sorry if I came off as if I was unimpressed, was just checking in :)

Not at all ;) shouldn't be too long, I think the scripts are nearing completion (at least far enough to get parts sorted out.)

Greetings!

I stumbled on to this project, and thought it sounded fun so I'm just submitting My Orc voice for whatever is needed if at all.

Thanks!

Attached is my audition for an Orc, using the sample lines. Any feedback is appreciated! Hopefully I'm not too late!

I lowered the pitch by 4% in Audacity. I can upload the original if needed.

Hello! I'm Nathaniel Gordon. Here's my audition for the Orc voices, if this is still going on. I'm a professional VO actor in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and I've loved TES since I first played Morrowind. I'd love to help any way I can. 

I've also auditioned for Dunmer, Khajiit, Bosmer, Breton, Imperial, and Altmer.

(I should also note that I am using a professional quality sound booth, producing broadcast quality audio.)

The audio is a little muddy, also check out the OP for what we need our orcs to sound like.

Make sure before posting an audition that you clean up your audio a little bit first, also the accent just isn't there, look at the OP and see what we need for Orcs.

Hello, the names Sir-Nerd, I'm trying to find a voice here. I just got a new mic, so I'm giving this a stab.

 

 

The quality is pretty good, and you almost have our orc down pretty well, add some more rumble and deep quality to it.

Hi, I make weird voices as well. Thought I'd throw my hat in,  I'd appreciate any critiques you can give me.

The quality is great my friend, and it sounds like you have the Orc down really well. I hope you're given some roles :)

Quality will improve much next time!

Although an Orc is not what I really want to voice-act, I thought it be nice to audition a sample.

Feedback is appreciated!! :D

Hello. I don't know if it's already too late for voice acting for Orc.. but i thought maybe i just give it a try anyway.

I tried make an voice acting for Burgol Gro-Bagul.  I maded 2 little diffrent sounding audio's of them. the second has it's "S" little more "SH" like.. i hope it's good.  Feedback would also be nice.

My try for the orc. This is not the normal kind of voice I do, but I thought I'd give it a try anyways!

okay so i have done this before and got some good feed back, so here i am again with a better quality microphone. I ask that you listen to both of these files and consider them as well because they are both different dialog and moods. Anyways, if you think its any good, let me know, ill check back when i have some time. if you think its bad, let me know how i can improve, i respond well to criticism. Keep in mind that if i become a voice actor for the orc, then i will keep my mind open to auditioning for every other part, so you can have a dedicated voice acter. Just let me know! thanks!

Well, my first post here. (Feedback appreciated)  

Two lines taken from the Bugrol Gro-Bagul dialogue, Ive tried to keep it rough and raspy, but I was also inspired by the trolls from peter jacksons the hobbit.

Hope ive got the format right, Enjoy: ADDED - I exported as a WAV file, so cant post as mp3, gonna have to link to soundcloud;

Here's my Orc audition:

https://soundcloud.com/jnuz08/jnuz-08-take-2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

For Smite, here's retakes with some pitch shifting.

-0.5 Semitones down:
https://soundcloud.com/jnuz08/orc-05-semitone-pitch-shift?in=jnuz08/sets/orc-voice-skywind

-1.0 Semitones

https://soundcloud.com/jnuz08/orc_10-semitones-pitch-shift

-1.8

https://soundcloud.com/jnuz08/orc_18-semitone-pitch-shift

 

I was going to go down to -2.0, but it sounded too "artificial voice changer" in my opinion.  If you want one lower/higher/different take on the voice, let me know.

Ok I have a confession to make about this one, I did use a pitch change on audacity to get that deep. I can send the original one if you want but this one sounds better. Hope it helps :)

Orc Auditions. 3 different flavours. Do let me know if you have anything. :) I never played morrow wind so I really don't know where my voice would fit.

I was shocked to see that people were still sending files to this, but if they are I will, so here are my two runs at it.

Here is a list of the things I did to the audio files

1) NOTHING so excuse the room noise

Please feel free to critique

So two things, one not trying for any particular part, just used the sample line from the first post, and two I'm pretty sure I suck at varying my voice more than I thought. Will also be posting in other threads with other auditions that really don't vary as much as I had hoped they would.

Here is a composition consisting of two renditions of the Orc sample lines, as well as all of the lines for the unqiue Orc Ra'Gruzgrob (who thinks he's a khajiit) found in Ald Daedroth. All were artificially deepened, so if you think any of them need to be lower or higher in pitch that would be an easy fix.

Hi,

Here is my Orc submission. I have a bit of a cough at the moment so couldnt go as gravelly as I would like, but I will resubmit another one when I am feeling a bit better.

Again, will have proper recording equipmenty when needed, right now just in my bedroom trying lines! My orc, might be too stilted, needs more emphasis on the tusks maybe?

My audition, reading dialogue from Umbra. I could certainly do any character, though - Umbra just had really interesting dialogue :)

There's a bit of monotony in my take, but I figured Umbra would have that about his character since he seems... a bit depressed (this comes from someone who hasn't played Morrowind). If it's an issue, I can always do a retake.
