ARGONIAN VOICE AUDITIONS

This is where you can upload your Argonian 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:Huleeya I welcome you as the friend of my friend, outlander. But I wish to go to my friend's bookstore, and these troublesome fools are in my way. I have tried to persuade them, but they hate my race, and I fear there will be violence. Perhaps if you speak with them... but be careful... and be ready. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Okur I will return Julielle Aumine's amulet to her husband as she requested. Then I shall wait for her spirit to visit me again. At that time, I am confident that can lay the ghost of Julielle Aumine to rest. So thank you again, for all you've done.

Argonian voices should sound heavily asparated, like their lungs have to work extra hard on land. Their voice has some 'hiss' to it, but it is more of an 'h' hiss, not an 's' hiss like a snake. They should also speak fairly slowly, like an amphibious ent from Lord of the Rings. In keeping with the Native American style of their phrase-names, I would like them to also keep the monotonous accent of the Hollywood stereotype Native American.

Voice Description;

I will post some new examples eventually.

Here's one example of how Argonians could sound. Do not roll your Rs here, though. I want to distinguish them from Khajiit as much as possible.

Here's a clip of the original Argonian from Morrowind. http://www.mediafire.com/listen/d0ncl23w727v276/Hlo_AM062.mp3 Listen to how it sounds like a struggle to get enough breath to say the words.

And another. http://www.mediafire.com/?v1cq9k389qywnss

I had trouble nailing down a "hiss" over the dialogue, so I ended up going raspy, which I felt actually fit really well.

I have upgraded my recording setup since my last upload, so I thought I would record new auditions before you guys hand out the new scripts. Here is my take on an Argonian:

Don't have time to do more auditions, but here's mine. Feel free to contact me if you want me to do more auditions or something. Keep in mind that this is my first time auditioning for voice acting. Been a dream of mine for some time though. And if you choose me to record some more lines, then off course I'll deal with the PC fan noise, I just wanted to do this now that I had the time for it :P

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.

Hey! My name is Tom Hooper and this is my audition for a Male Argonian. Please give me feedback because it's incredibly useful. Also I am sorry if I pronounced some of the words wrong I'm not too familiar with Morrowind lore (Please don't kill me) as my first Elder Scrolls game was Oblivion. Thanks for listening [External image]

A little difficult given no

A little difficult given no specific example to follow, so I just tried a slow, measured cadence, with a sort of rasping 'h' hiss. Hope it's what you're looking for! As with the rest of the auditions I posted, I'm alright doing whatever role is necessary.
