thx Pliskin

it seems i have a Texan NPC guy that has no speaker yet. Send me a mail if interested. the_scorpion@swissmail.net

this will be active over a long time here and it is very probable that later on, more characters will have to be spoken.

so it will be always possible to join here because it is work in progress

Like, a "WHOO HOO I'M A COWBOY!" Texan, or a "Hi, I'm from Texas" Texan?

you know these characters don`t have to be Uber-stereotypical. If the accent is audible (which it usually is) that is okay, that will do.

the point with the scandinavian character i have is that i theoretically have a voice actor on it, but haven`t heard anything for a long time

so maybe if i still won`t get a reply in some time from now, that character will need voice acting. You see it is difficult to tell for me whether these speeches are actually being created or not. I can definitely use more voice actors, but without feedback of those that have a character assigned i am a bit stuck.

I will contact you about this character depending on whether i get a confirmation that the work is already being done (don`t want to people to do the same work twice)

@at all voice actors:

i don`t mind about delays, but it is very useful for me if you keep me a bit informed. Not getting replies on e-mails feels uncomfortable

sending samples so that i can see that people are actually doing the recording is VERY useful for me.

thx

So, I changed some of his dialogue to seem more... Texan.

My Aunt and Uncle, plus their two kids, are Texan, so I just threw in some stuff I usually hear a lot when they call on the phone during holidays and stuff. ("TARNATION!!!" being one of my favorites, lol)

Anyway, I'm all set to do the recording tonight, as, by some miracle, I have a Monday off. ^_^

I'll send you all the files after I get an e-mail back from you regarding the twice-appearing line, Scorp.

i received your message and replied to it. The script of the character is not all perfectly tested but i don`t want to rewrite it too much so that`s why the same speech line is used twice.

thx for paying attention to it. I have noticed i have made quite a couple of mistakes writing all these subtitles so i very much appreciate corrections made during the recording Wink

Hey I dunno if it's too late, but I'd be happy to lend a hand with a voice if you need it.

I'm an aussie male, but I can speak Japanese if you need it. I have some jap friends that could make sure I say it right too.

And yes I can okka up my Australian if you want it.

Hopefully this helps.

no, it is not too late at all, it is just a question of assigning which character to whom. Plus maybe i can add new characters. i hope you won`t mind if it takes me some time to come back to this offer.

i am taken a bit by surprise by so many people interested Wink

thx to everybody.

hy again

it would be very useful for me if those that have a character assigned (i sent you the subtitles) could give me some feedback, be it here in the forum or via e-mail about

1. Whether you can actually make the speeches. If any problems have appeared, the wrong files sent, no time, whatever problems there can be, please tell me

2. If you have already commenced with creating the speeches and if it is possible to send me a sample

3. An estimation whether you will have enough time/ ressources to make them. As i said earlier, there is no hurry, but i like to have a slight overview of the who can deliver sooner and who can only send the files later.

if you have your speeches completed, better send it it to this alternative email adress vladtheempalor@gmx.ch because there i have more storage Wink

i have already received some speeches and have tested them to a certain extend in the game and i like them. So if you are unsure about quality or anything, only in game testing with the matching faces, maps and all will truly reveal whether i like it in the end or not

i am sure there is really good work being made, but i would be happy to know a bit about your progress, problems, estimations about how much time is still needed.

This is because i need to regain a better overview over any progress made.

(i am working hard to make the quests and maps for your custom characters working. Faces for the characters already exist and work)

we are progressing, i am adding goodies to the game that i hope you will like.

hi szultz, Azazel, Sigma

I need to get some things straight. Gain a better overview. Then i can give you clear info.

@Azazel

i do have that Villain for you. But as said above, i need to clarify some things before i can send you the files. I hope to get that Info i need during next week

*edit*

villain ready, but slightly complicated. Can send you the scripts.

@Szultz

I sent you a message. I need to fin the matching character for you. It is not easy.

@Sigma

Maybe i can add another scandinavian character. I have to see about the first one though. Got to check if that one is already being made or not.

Count us in. My daughter and son (ages 13 and 10, respectively) are also avid fans and players of the JA series and am sure they'd be glad to help out.

We have perfect American English accents as both my kids attend the American school. I'm almost a native speaker as well. My daughter can also do a host of different accents, namely: British, French and Chinese.

hey cool blackmac. I must honestly admit i have not yet thought of children as part of the storyline, but actually now that you mention it, they would certainly be something special.

i can`t promise anything to your kids because creating ja2 like looking kid faces is very difficult.

there is a scientist/ doctor-like character currently not assigned. This is an NPC that will be part of a bigger quest. interested?

*edit*

by the way from people`s opinions on what characters would be fun to have, i guess that the chinese accent of your daughter could add quite something to the mod. Again here i would have to creat a matching character

thx a lot

hy syrup. I do have characters left, but usually not the easiest ones Wink

i will be looking to contact you once i am sure what character and the once the speeches are written

i believe the same goes for Szultz, right?

btw for all of you that are recording speech, the miles sound system helps making filesize smaller without losing quality (too much)

thx a lot abdul. It works again *big up*

i`m very impressed by the feedback from you guys here recently. Because of the email server failure it might take me some time to reassign stuff. damnit.
I have not yet assigned any character to Augustus, Isegrimm and headrock

and i failed to understand blackmac`s posting (10-4) Wink

i hope you guys have patience. Thank you

@Head Rock

wow this is impressive. I`m sorry you missed this thread previously too Wink the selection has become more limited, but in fact i should find a character for you.

I've nearly finished the Texan.

I took a serious "real life take over" the past weeks, but work is no longer insane, and I can devote some more time to it this coming Friday - hopefully he'll be finished by then. Very Happy

I'm game for something else, too.

great. I`m lookin forwar to hear`em

the characters i received so far i was very happy with them. What really always is an issue is loudness/ volume.

I`d suggest that voice actors take a look at existing ja2 speech or npc speech files. they are incredibly loud. you don`t need to be as loud as them, but for a comparison this is useful

to everybody having difficulties or being unsure about the own recording:

i have somebody who assist me on the speech audio. That means even if you feel not satisfied with the results of your work or got an embarrassing review by a collegues (had this case previously) this is definitly not a reason to feel discouraged

off course the raw speech records probably won`t live up to the standard of the professional voice actors of ja2. But after we filter, flip it and reverse it, it`s gonna sound damn cool Laughing

in any case, send us a sample if you think it is not good and we`ll have a look at what can be done. Please don`t hesitate to inform me about delays or uncertainty about the quality.

@kaiden

maybe. There are two voice actors sheduled for what could come close to "a redneck" but haven`t yet delivered results.

and there are more characters that can have such speeches. You know i can never tell if those people reappear or not. I tried keeping this thread very active in the beginning so people ar emotivated but obviously there are real life issues, there are broken microphones, there are tons of pssible reasons.

so if you really have some time for that and have the confidence to listen to your own voice digitalized then you`re very welcome

of course there is always a way to make yourself immortal lending the voice to a cool RPC or an important villain Wink *biggrin*
