July 10. 2011.
We are looking for more volunteers for Voice Acting again! (no paid jobs, sorry, this is a free project). We may not be able to use you right away until more of the story is implemented, but when your voice is needed, we need you to be active and ready.
Requirements:
– Be at least 22+ years of age, the older the better (if you are younger, but you think your voice is good, send us samples)
– Having a deeper raspy voice naturally, or, for example if you are a smoker
– Can perform different accents/vocal tones and can take direction when needed for script reads
– Have a good mic (i.e. condenser mic with a pop filter and low noise recording atmosphere).
The rest of the stuff, such as effects, and extras will be added at LiquidBronze’s studio. All files should be sent raw, as high quality MP3’s. Voice actors should send at least 4-5 takes so the best can be used from that.
Test phrases: (choose one which fits for you the best)
Duty NPC: (sorrow, a little nervous) Damn mutants! Those were some of my best men, keep investigating the area; I need to know what happened to them!
Military NPC (stern, rough voice): This area is off limits, if you want to get in, you need to convince me first!
Scientist NPC: A message to all personal, mutant attacks have become more frequent, so I have been forced to lock the doors to the lab, the code is XXXX (any number)
Finally:
If you feel you have all the requirements, record a test sample and send it to dezovoiceauditions@yahoo.com, and we will reply as soon as possible!

Are you guys still looking?
LtTaylor says:
Have to ask, are you still taking auditions? I can see it’s been awhile, but I’m just wondering, I just found this and I’d love to see if I could fit the bill to help this kind of thing out.
LiquidBronze says:
You may still send in auditions! Thanks :)
melech874 says:
quick question do you mind if i change the wording from Duty NPC: (sorrow, a little nervous) D**n mutants! Those were some of my best men, keep investigating the area; I need to know what happened to them!
to
Cursed mutants! (everything else is the same as the sentence above)
the reason I ask this is that i do not profane but i have the deep man’s voice that you are looking for I am 21 and my voice is pretty deep. I can send you my voice in the next two weeks- three weeks.( the reason I have exams coming up in the next 2 weeks for college)
LiquidBronze says:
That would be fine, thanks! :)
SamMosley says:
Send you some… thanks for the chance!
LiquidBronze says:
Thanks! I will check shortly and get back to you soon!
chackisss says:
Do you need a Russian voice for Russian phrases?
LiquidBronze says:
We do not have any Russian dialogue, only English. We are using people with Russian accents, or people that can perform a Russian accent. You are more then welcome to audition using some of the test phrases above though, thanks!
CzechDeath says:
I kinda need some better mic for things like this….under 100€. If anyone can help me a bit to choose mic which would be suitable. please do so.
Of course I already went trought “Just GOOGLE it LOLZ!” part… and Im only confused. I don’t even know which tipe of mic I sould pick… not much are for spoken word, and if there are, prices are around 1 000€ and thats OMFG too much =(
CzechDeath says:
I found this one…. looks good sofar http://www.studioprojectsusa.com/b1.html
0235 says:
yeah, im currently using my camcorder as a mic, which is sterio, but like you said, all i can here in the background is my noisy computer. make sure that they have accepted you before buying the mic (though the more people, the better)
CzechDeath says:
Yea Im currently in “round two” =D Im just looking because I know that my mic is shitty, so IF they will use me, I’ll need to buy some better mic… I mean I can practise and get better in voice acting even on shitty mic, but final product should be flawless even as for sound quality, which im gonna need to solve by simply better microphone….
0235 says:
hmm. you ever thought that maybey you could borrow or use one from maybey a local radio station, or a local college, seeming as i am at uni, i may ask the people at the music department if i can use oneof there decent mics, you may even be able to convince a company to let you borrow one and mention in the credits the brand of microphone used
CzechDeath says:
Oh promoting company =) thats interesing idea, how ever that doesnt seem like fast solution. With that borrow Idea, I Cant think of anyone who is interested in audio recording/or works at studio. My father has musican hobby, but he dont want to borrow me his mic, so he borrowed me his cheap ass backup mic. And his quality backup he gave away mo long lost brother for beatboxing… As you said I sont even know If they can use me . So I’ll just let ti cool, until I know more.
0235 says:
ok, im definately going to give this a try, is it ok to put on a russian accent, even though im English? or are you also looking for some good old british folk?
Chiff says:
Do you need a voice actor for Barkeep? I can do his voice pretty well.
Darius6 says:
I was considering on participating to the auditions. I guess an Zoom H2 digital recorder/mic will be sufficient for recording the dialog?
LiquidBronze says:
Darius6, go ahead and record some test samples from the lines above, the Zoom H2 should offer quality recordings, but I will need to hear then, thanks!
CzechDeath says:
OK I sent you my voice samples =D I hope you can use me, I enjoyed to create them =)
yayo says:
This audition would actually be much more effective if you provided some text sample that auditioners should interpret. Mics? AKG, Shoeps, Shure, you name it I got it.
LiquidBronze says:
Good point^ I will see about getting it updated. In the mean time if you have a demo reel or other examples, you could always send them! :)
dez says:
done
dez says:
so? any luck? :)
LiquidBronze says:
Waiting for your submission mate!
arapisuk says:
also my accent is greeklish so it only suits the game if you have in plan to have any dodgy looking Greek trader that can get you anything for the right price of course. (your skin)
arapisuk says:
I am 33 and a HEAVY smoker…but I guess my mic is crap that is why I don’t participate…I have only a gaming headset with mic. :(
Serega says:
Dez where file with record to send? I haven’t understood :)
And in what language record is necessary?)
LiquidBronze says:
Please send all submissions here: dezovoiceauditions@yahoo.com
dez says:
you can record it on russian too, but at first we will need eng voices :)
CzechDeath says:
hey I could voice act ? My czech english accsent could be easly conidered for russian. Im not a smoker I have acces to quality mike, BUT my PC is so fucking loud. that would surely spoil my attempts =D
LiquidBronze says:
Go ahead and make some samples for us to check anyway! :)
CzechDeath says:
OK I did some recording tests … and … its useless.
I cant get clean recording of my voice, due to constantly laud environment. And my quality mike is gone… I cant find it =C
so nothing from me …sry
legionostra says:
I smoke but i dont understand why the npc voices would be better because of smoking.
Id love to voice act but i dont have a decent mic and im just 19 but i do got a low voice i sound 30 or something XD
Btw.Very good progres on the mod,also excelent job on the site.
thx for making this mod i wich i could get you all a fresh beer here in Belgium
Dimka Cherchel says:
i can speak on russian, ukrainian some like this:
Твою мать… кхе кхе… пацаны я маслину поймал… сукаааа
xD=) Dez, Russian Fan’s with YOU!
KHstalker says:
I got a small Music Studio with good mic (AKG perception 200 and JZ BH-3)
but we can’t speak better in RS and ENG :(
unclevinnie says:
Could you please give some understanding to everyone – how can we estimate our mics to be good or bad (some criteria)?
CzechDeath says:
you just sak him:
“hey mic are…..um are you ….you khow ? GOOD or b…..ehrm BAD??”
And youll see what it answare.
Naw seriously now, even with no specification, You should be able to hear how good is recorded voice from your mic. If you are thinking your head set mic, forget it that will by mostlikely poor poor sound from it.
Anyway GOOGLE is ultimate answare
