Voice actors - Assemble!

Post here if you fancy doing some voice acting and want people to know that you're available.
Also post if you have any projects which need voice actors.

I'll get the ball rolling, shall I?

Voice Actor, Male, Deep voice, Scottish accent.
I'm willing to do pretty much any small roles and will have them done within a week of accepting a position.
I'm sure you all know what I sound like by now, but here's an example if you don't.
Recording equipment: Clicky

---

Also, I'm looking for two mature American accents for a few lines to be used in The Core. It's conversational stuff, so no acting experience is required.

Any chance of this thread being stickied?

Voice Actor, Male, American Teenager, Awkward.
I'm a teenager and can do a pretty good voice acting, I can do most things, and even sound authentically Awkward if you need me to. My voice can get high and low if I need to. Happy to help anyone who isn't a dick
Recording Equipment: Moderately Fine Mice Headset.

I'm trying to record my voice right now, and as I'm doing that I realize how horrible it is. I'll probably post later a record of my voice.(me talking to... me)

Voice Actor, Male, Child, Dramatic
I'm a child and I can do nice voice acting. If you ever want to put a kid in a game, you know who to call.
Recording Equipment: Regular Microphone/Audacity

Looking for a voice actor, must have a sexy British voice.. oh ya and must be female.

must be female.

Wrong website.

Not at all, however your use of "British" is a bit vague.
I can easily get you a couple of Scottish girls who act at college, but something tells me you meant English when you said British.

Voice actor, Male, Deep voice, Scottish accent

Can you do the other Scottish accent? As in, the Sean Connery accent? I never quite managed it, but it is always fun to try.

the other? Haha. There are loads. Sean Connery has an Edinburgh accent combined with his own gravelly, yet somehow exceptionally smooth voice.

My accent is Glaswegian, but yeah I can do Edinburgh fairly easily.

The point was whether you could impersonate that fine gentleman.

I'll pick a line for you:

"The name ish Bond. Jamesh Bond."

That'll do.

Utter nonsense. Uploaded for the fun of it. Ignore until 0:15.

[EDIT] oh, uhm, almost forgot. The password for the archive is twhl

Cun creet? Whaat.
EDIT: What the fuck did I just listen to. What the fuck.

I should have spelled it somehow like 'cohn-creet' or something?

Well, whatever. I don't speak english well and I know it.

Yeah it's pronounced con, as in turning a light switch on, crete, as in eat.

Balsamic-flavored actor, female, Southern Antarctican, casual insulting

Mess with the equalizer a bit and it might actually not sound terrible.

I detect some kind of tremolo in your voice, soupy soup.

I have no idea what that means

lol

I'm so hardcore
Actor / Voice actor , male , normal , variety.

I've barely done any things but considering how much I overact with my voice when i'm normally acting , I think I can do pretty well.

Quite a while ago I got bored out of my face when making a map and decided to do a "VOX"-esque american PA voice. Here's the download if you want a listen

I would add myself to this thread, but last time I tried voice acting I never managed to get a quiet moment alone to do it. I believe the mod it was for is dead now anyway.

Meh, I might do a voice test tomorrow. Just in case:
Voice Actor, Male, Deep voice, Unknown Accent.

Well that was fun.

Voice Actor, Male, Normal, Russian accent.
Recording equipment: Logitech Clearchat H230
Sample

[Apologies for background noise and echo, I had temporarily set audacity to loop back the feed while recording so I can monitor it, Echo won't be present otherwise]

That was awesome.

Hears crollo recording.

EDIT: What the fuck did I just listen to. What the fuck.

Voice Actor, Male, Deep voice, English accent with range of other (terrible) accents.
I'm limited to when I can record, as well as only having access to a standard quality headset mic and Audacity.
Willing to do any role small or large. Done some minor roles for mods and a very very small part in an episode of The DC Chronicles machinma series. Was cast as a main character in a project which never got off the ground.
Here's your sample I guess
Recording equipment: Shitty Headset Mic, Audacity for improving quality slightly.

See Archie's post regarding The Core.

I might record a few sentences in various different roles / positions soon , think I might actually be able to pull it off quite well

Well done Urby.

This thread starts looking like real-life unemployment. D:

I for one refuse to do any voice work. Such an activity would provide specific data that could be used to identify me as an existing individual outside of the realm of the internet, and that is unacceptable.

A joke Striker, that was a joke.

His joke was serious.

You're seriously a joke.

I bet you feel srry for what you said.

HA! I C WHAT U DID THAR!

Rubbish.

We need to get everyone in this thread below, say, Urby's post to record themselves saying their posts, and have someone string it all together.

what the fuck is up with that battlefield 1942 sample

seriously

Soup Miner has answered the call to be in The Core. Anyone else with an American accent available?

I have a really low quality microphone or i'd at least give it a try. Bought it for shouting at noobs not really for actual recording.

Well the part is for a phone answering machine, so it might work out. You want me to send you the lines and you can give it a shot?
It's only a couple of lines to add some more depth and believability to the location.

I have a Canadian\American accent and I might be able to do it, although I'm 3 years away from 'mature' age I think I could pass off for an adult due to my deep voice. [I'll replace the sample link with one of me talking normally, some reason I raise the pitch of my voice when trying to adopt a accent]

EDIT: I don't think I can pass off for an adult. Listening to my voice over and over I seriously don't get how people can possibly mistake me for being so much older then I really am...
EDIT: Updated the file.

Ah, I just read the start of the thread and the "mature" part, my voice sounds a bit young for my age(22). You can send the lines if you want, but if you can find someone older then I really think you should.

I'm also looking for voice actors for my mod... But not any fixed lines which you shall talk for me.. Speak whatever you want... Ever wanted to hear something specific in Half-Life then send me your record and your intention regarding that voice line and I'll add it as long as the sound quality fits.

Especially military radio chats would be very welcome...

To give you an example I've just created a soundfile..

http://www.moddb.com/members/23-down/videos/audio-demonstration#imagebox

I hope it works because I can't watch or listen to any streams from moddb.
Anyway if you liked what you just heard create me similiar voices + an info with your intention you had for your voice file and I will make a cool sound out of it by adding these fancy effects if requested. And then I will add it to my mod to add more atmosphere in it and to get rid of the regulary played "To all units return to rallypoint" radio messages.

Ps: I'm working on an Opposing Force mod if you're still unsure what I'm talking about. ^^

Everyone can attent to this so don't be shy and send me your cool voice based.wav or mp3 files. I'm looking forward to receive hopefully a bunch of impressive sounds with many unique ideas included in them.
And be sure that you will end up in the mod credits when I add any sounds from you people.

Greetings 23-down

Casting call for a male Australian with a reasonably mature voice.
Non-Aussies who can do a convincing enough accent would also be fine. Regional accent doesn't matter, as long as it's recognisably Australian.

Fairly urgently required for a small voice-role in a short film.

Oh, btw: If anybody needs a sort of female voice actor, I can call Chell

If somebody could recommend me a non-expensive , semi-decent mike then i'd be incredibly happy as a certain someone has "accidentally misplaced" my previous good quality one.

I'm just going to point this out there - the one thing that really grinds my gears is general terrible voice acting. I don't care whether you can do a good russian accent , if it sounds like you are bored shitless and have no expression in your voice then you are not able to call yourself a voice actor.

I would be willing to accept that call, Archie. But
A: I have no voice acting experience, I'd probably be shite.
B: More importantly, I am far from possession of a good quality mike.

If you get desperate though, I could see what I could do. I figure my accent is recognisably Australian, what with being Australian and all... continues rambling

I'm an awesome child voice actor, and like I said my mom is a good voice actor. It just sucks because WHAT game has a child and an adult woman? Half-Life doesn't eve have any women at all.
