I should really be able to get something playable released soon, since all I've needed for ages has been a voice actor. Anyone able to help, and get a voiceset recorded in the next few weeks?

I'm looking for something along the lines of Dak'kon from Planescape:Torment, but not quite so old and gruff. A very level-headed character, doesn't lose his cool, and not extravagant and showy.

If you're interested, send me a few samples (preferably in .ogg format). Here's some lines to try:

~Please, adventurers... hear me.~ [A!E01]
~I am because I must be.~ [A!E0001]
~Your life shall end!~ [A!E0002]
~This is no way for a Githzerai to fall in battle!~
~The crossing of our paths was a most fortuitous event.~
~I... have met wiser folk, in my time.~
~Zerthimon would not approve of this company.~ [A!E05]

Call me simple, but how does one record a voice?

I won't call you simple, but I will point you in this direction.

Thank you!

It appears I will have to spend some money if I want to do this well. I will see...

The software I recommend is Audacity from Sourceforge, and it's free. You'll find it quickly with a Google search.

The microphone I got cost $15 US at a retail store (Circuit City, I think), and works just fine.

In other news, I've had several potentials send samples--all of which are pretty good, so I will have to think carefully!

[berelinde]

Yay!

Silence when the NPC is supposed to be speaking is jarring.

Ah, so you're pretty much set then.

[Andyr]

Yeah, should be, but I might have other voice roles to fill in the future so if that was an offer, I'll remember you.
