Voices for a new game

[Pocus]

ABORTED


Dear players,

We would like to integrate some battle shouts in our upcoming game, Napoleon's Campaigns. Basically we either have to find actors, or find players speaking natively the language (or with native accent) doing it for us (in exchange of a free copy of the game, that is :coeurs .

So, if you want to apply, you need to record these sounds (in mp3 if possible, but wav will do):

a) Charge! (or more along Chaaaarge!!!) in 3 variations

b) Retreat!! (3 variations)

c) Form Square!! (3 variations)

d) Hold (or Hold the line)!! (3 variations)

e) Fire!! (3 variations)

f) Forward!! (3 variations)

For one (well if you speak several, perform for several!) of these languages: FRENCH SPANISH GERMAN ENGLISH (english, not american accent), RUSSIAN

Your voice would then be processed by a professional sound artist, which would add battles sound in the back (Michael Huang, the sound artist behind the AACW sounds, who did sounds for the Dominions game too [a very fine game by the way ])

To get a better picture of what we want, just look at these files:

Great...only Italian is missing, lol!

[Pocus]

You would propose for Italian? Can be of use

[Sol Invictus]

I'm offended! You seem to be discriminating against me just because I don't speak the King's English. I can assure you that my Eastern Kentucky accent would not detract from the historical flavor of the game for one instant. On second thought, I couldn't stand to hear myself speak these commands in the game. Good call.

[GShock]

I guess there's not much of a choice...it appears i'm the only italian here

[Jojo le Gouffy]

Tiens, l'équipe de Ageod ne peut pas faire les voix françaises ?
Et pour le français est-ce seulement la traduction des termes anglais.? retreat par exemple, on le prend comment ? Retraite ou en arrière (par opposition au en avant)

Ok, care send me an example? Please base yourself on the tone and shout of the archive I provided.

Repliez-vous me semble pas mal.

Je ne supporterai pas d'entendre ma voix dans le jeu à vrai dire, et puis même si j'ai un micro, le temps de trouver un endroit silencieux et de tout enregistrer pour que j'en sois satisfait, j'y aurai passer l'aprés midi, donc on délègue.

[Adlertag]

Tiens pour les voix, je ne peux m'empécher de citer la somptueuse traduction sonore en Français dans la vidéo d'intro de HOI2.
"Si tu veux la paix , prépare la guerre". Là, ça va encore ...puis dernière phrase :
"C'est la fin...du début"
Eh oui, c'était pourtant in english "it's the beginning of the end".

Pitoyable et tellement risible...

[Jojo le Gouffy]

J'y songe maintenant.
Ajouter un Vive l'Empereur ! pour les troupes françaises...
Serait-ce possible ou suis-je à côté de la plaque ?

[PhilThib]

Non, ce serait un vrai plus

[GoldSpear]

Tut tut Invictus. I know your eastern Kentucky accent must sound as bad as my twang. Next, Jeff Foxworthy jokes...not.

[tyrex]

Vous avez oubliée deux autres langues il me semble bien...euh non trois...apres reflexion c'est plus six d'ailleurs

Le Portugais: rappelons que pas mal de troupes dans la Peninsule venaient du Portugal dans le camp anglais
Le Turque: A moins bien sur que vous ne mettiez pas en jeu les troupes de la Serenissime Porte
Le Croate: les troupes auxilliaires Grenzer autrichiennes parlent le croate il me semble. Idem quatre regiments (de tete) durant la campagne de Russie et servant au coté de l'Empereur parlent le croate
le Suedois: durant les campagnes de 1805-1806-1807-1813-1814 les suedois seront parti prenante. Ils feront meme une guerre en Finlande contre les russes
Le Danois: Ce royayme sera l'allié fidele de la France et y perdra la Norvege.
Le Flamand: Les troupes de ce Royaume serviront pour la France...et elles formeront meme un regiment de grenadiers de la Garde. Et pour mémoire elles formeront aussi pres de 50% des troupes de Wellington en 1815

Ouch ca complique le tout d'un coup

[Pocus]

On a un budget, on ne peut demander la localisation de toutes les langues. Encore que peut etre le patois du coin nord de la forêt noire, pour Hesse serait de mise?

[Pocus]

The query to get players doing some voices is ABORTED, by lack of people (and time is of the essence here...).

We have already asked our regular sound artist to find actors for that. Thanks for your interest

Too bad that I could not have heard some of my fellow players. Well, good luck!

[Rafiki]

Dang. I've been ill for some days, and my voice has been sub-par; had hoped I had time to get a better voice before submitting anything

If you were pressed for time, Pocus, why not mention it?

[Pocus]

I'm unsure it would have changed something. I wanted to see if players could potentially be interested. But do not despair, for VGN, I'm sure we will need some Norwegian voice (can you do Swedish too?)

[Rafiki]

Norwegian I can do, and English too (I'm fairly sure of, at least; that was were I planned to make an attempt here).

I wouldn't count on my Swedish, or Danish for that matter. I could probably do them well enough to fool non-Swedes and non-Danes, though

[GShock]

Aborted???

[Pocus]

Aborted???

Well for Italian this is another story, we did not ask the sound engineer to find an actor, so the 'slot' is still open, if you want to try. Use your most rough and rude voice when you shout, those men were not weakling

I keep your proposal for VGN then.

[GShock]

I didn't do it yet because i don't think the windows recorder is a good one. If you've got a prog to suggest then shoot...otherwise i ll proceed.

[RELee]

If'n y'all ever need redneck in yore arsenal of voices, well I reckon ah'll be yore man.

[Hell Patrol]

I can do a great Arnold Schwartzenegger impression , "form skvair now"
