DARK ELF VOICE AUDITIONS

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

SAMPLE LINES

I have long believed it was a mistake to turn from the old gods. Perhaps Azura is with you after all. And perhaps not. I will tell you that I've spoken with Dagoth Ur. He promised me the same thing. That he will drive the foreigners from our lands. But I am not one to ignore opportunity, nor am I one to be troubled by rubbing two sides of a coin. If you are one of your word, I am your ally. I will tell Velanda Omani and Nevena Ules to support you as Hortator of House Hlaalu. VOICE INFORMATION

In general, Dunmer should sound wise, even in their youth. They live in a harsh land, and their lifespans are very long - they are a pragmatic people and venerate the wisdom of their elders from even from a young age. They should speak in a precise manner, taking the time to think through exactly what they mean to say as they say it.

For female Dunmer, the most important thing to consider is the culture they're coming from. Female members of House Hlaalu are the most heavily influenced by Imperial (and therefore Aldmeri) influence. They could very well speak with a lilt of the Imperial nobles, to a degree, though their voices won't be as commanding or crisp as either the Imperials or the Altmer. The old voice for the Altmer would have made a great Hlaalu Dunmer.

Female Redoran Dunmer do not need the British lilt. The Redoran should sound proud, and stalwart. A mature-voiced and not necessarily as crisp version of the more American imperials could work - think 'superhero'.

Telvanni Dunmer females would seem suspicious and cold.

Ashlander females need to crank up the elderly wisdom vibe to 11. Depending on how good they are with Cyrodilic (English) their accent may even sound Dothraki or Mongolian.

For males, the rasp is the most important thing. If you can throat sing, and apply this rasp on top of throat singing, that is the ideal Dunmer voice. That's how Jeff Baker does the voice. After you nail the sound you can think on the cultural influences.

Examples:

Here are some Dunmer examples I recorded.

Hi,

Hi,
this is my audition for a female dark elf with the sample line. I spontaneously buried myself under pillows, so future setup could probably be improved. I also have experience with singing, if that could be of help.

Thank you for your consideration.

Here's a sound file of me

Here's a sound file of me trying to impersonate the male dunmer voice actor who tries to get you to take a ride in his silt striders. This line has always stuck with me because you can't hear the guy enunciate the "s" sound in "price," and I've tried to accomplish the same thing in this sound byte. I know I'm probably late to the party, but if you could squeeze me in at one the travel ports, I could borrow a better mic and give you a higher quality set of voice lines. In the event you are still looking for dunmer voice actors or think my conversational voice has potential for any other npcs, just let me know and I'd be happy to contribute in that way, too. Thanks!

Hello, everyone!

I've been wanting to get into voice acting for a little while now, and while I don't have years of experience I still want to give this a go. So here's my audition for a dunmer. I'm not applying for any specific character.
I'm still getting used to Adobe Audition, so there is a little bit of noise or static on the files, but I figured for now I'd just give you the raw files.

My audition:

I have also posted auditions for the khajiit and orc races.
I hope I can be of use to you.

Kind Regards,
Tobias (Tobzors) Taastrøm

Hi guys. I've been

Hi guys. I've been experimenting a little in regards to improving my audio quality and discovered that my power supply was the cause of a kind of high-pitched noise in my previous audio recordings. I switched to energy saving mode and that got rid of the issue. I'm now left with just the noise from the microphone itself.

So, without any further ado, here's my audition for dark elves:

In the zip file I've included 2 versions of the sample lines as well as another "bonus" .wav of assorted combat lines, these are all over the place and are not really in any specific order, there is death sounds included as well.
