REDGUARD VOICE AUDITIONS

Submitted by Smitehammer on

This is where you can upload your Redguard 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:Kaye   An Argonian named Okur in Hla Oad has asked for our aid. This devout follower of the Nine is sensitive to spirits of the otherworld, and she says she is being visited by the ghost of a murder victim. The guards can't do anything in such cases. Go and speak with Okur. Here's some gold for expenses. If possible, discover the nature of the crime, and bring justice to the wronged spirit so it can be laid to rest.   http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Jeanne   Just recently, a dwarven spirit appeared in my shop. I don't know why it's here, or what it wants, but it scares off all of my customers. This guard won't do a thing about it; he thinks it would be bad luck to disturb the spirit. If you can get rid of the thing, I'd be very grateful.  

Voice Description:

Here are a few examples of Redguard voices.

http://m.soundcloud.com/smitehammer/sets/kaye-redguard http://m.soundcloud.com/smitehammer/jeleen

Redgaurds of Tamriel come in three flavors, but nearly all of them in Morrowind will sound 'American black'.

The rarest Redguard voice type encountered in Morrowind would sound African - the nobles of Hammerfell would keep the language and culture of Yokuda alive, but would have little reason to leave Hammerfell.  A few of the nobles, or publicans and clergy coming from upper-class Hammerfell families may speak like this.  These accents would sound West African, like Ghana.  Possibly even Kenyan or Zulu if one is proficient in those accents (though they are not West African).  Very precisely spoken and clean.

Most members of the Yokudan Diaspora you would find in Morrowind have been influenced by the language and culture of the Imperials, which themselves sound more 'American'.  African language intonation influenced by American dialects becomes as American black.  Don't confuse this with 'ebonics' or 'slang'.  Think Logan Cunningham (Rucks from Bastion), Erik Dellums (Three Dog from Fallout 3 and Nazir from Skyrim), James Earl Jones as Mufasa.  Or for women, well-spoken American black women like Oprah Winfrey, Etta James or Angela Bassett.  Most of the Redguards encountered in Morrowind should have this accent.

A few of the Redguard seafarer folk that stick nearer the Altmer, Breton, or 'noble' Imperial influences would pick up accents like the Creole accents of the Caribbean. These accents would be rare in Morrowind, but perhaps a few mariner NPCs would have these accents.

Here's what I've tried for the Redguard, sorry about the people speaking in the background on the African one, obviously, I won't let that happen if you would like any proper recordings from me :)
What do you think?

Thank you so much!

Some of my relatives are from Ghana and Senegal, and my closest friends are Yoruba and Liberian, so it's nice to hear  vocal impressions that aren't caricatured.

Hey it's Parker again, I saw that there weren't many Redguard recordings so I thought I'd give it a shot. I did the best I could, I hope it's good enough.

I figured, why not try a redguard too? Once again, it's the best I could do with my limited setup right now. I really prefer doing African/Jamaican but I wouldn't mind doing African American style redguards too

Just found out about this recently, figured I'd throw something together. Looks like you've got plenty of the other voices, so here are a couple options for redguard. Let me know if you want me to try something else.

Hey guys so I was talking to you about 2 months ago and you told me to buy a better mic. well I've done that and now I want to send you in a small sample of me trying a Redgaurd voice let me know if I can improve in anyway always up for constructive criticism! Also it's all natural no editing done. (I'll also probably audition for more in the future) (:

Just part of my re-recording fun. I don't expect my voice type to be suitable for a redguard. I know some of the guys have had some luck lowering their pitch a bit, but not sure if any of the gals have tried that yet. This pitch is un-altered.

This is my try for a redguard. At first I tried a way higher, "funky" voice, where I stressed certain words a lot more to make it sound "black", but then I thought it wouldn't really fit into the game, so I just went with this.

Kaye and Jeanne.

 

For Jeanne I realize she's a female, but I wanted to try the African inflection a bit on the audition.

I did two variations, they came across as a fairly neutral deep voice with a slight southern american twang (probably not the best "black voice" ever), and a moderately thick caribbean brogue.

Hello. Here is my Redguard contribution from the audition set I'm uploading today.

First, I want to say that it seems to be extremely difficult for white people to sound naturally black.  It is similarly difficult for people to nail southern accents, because most you hear in hollywood are crap. I'm from the south, so I know. It's like the accents are too close that it's only nuance in between. Unfortunately I'm not black, and I can't sound black, so this probably isn't what you are looking for, but I thought I would give it a shot anyway.

I've got 3 flavors (soundcloud and dropbox links are to the same file):

I hope it helps in some way. Thanks

Hey everyone, placing my name into the hat for this Redguard audition.

This may not be what you're looking for, as I did not necessarily go for the southern route, but followed a bit more closely to the "American black" tone that was mentioned by Smite in the original post. Two slightly different variations are given in the link below. Hope this may be of some help.

I'd like to volunteer as a voice actor.
I have worked as a voice actor before, dubbing tv-series into English.

(I will be auditioning for several of the races and will put this same message, but with a different link under the respective races)

Hello,

Not sure about this one, it may need a little tweaking, but it seems Redguards are the least popular race for submissions so I gave it a try. As always, I welcome feedback.

Saw this and just had to get involved, don't mind the audio quality I will be investing in a better mic in the near future. First time so constructive criticism would be appreciated!

I auditioned for a Khajiit a while back, and ever since I've been working on some other impressions. So here's a redguard voice audition; I went for more of a Nazir (from Skyrim) approach.
