Alright, then, anyone who thinks they've got a decent voice for a race can send me a sample on AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo!, or my e-mail.

As for the Ilwrath, can anyone do better on that one? If you can do better than me then you get the job, but for now I'm wracking my brain trying to think of how I can make what I've got more accurate.

I've got the Ur-Quan and Kohr-Ah down, I think, but I need filters to make them sound... less like me with a deep English accent.

AAARGH! SOURCEFORGE SLOWLY DYING!

I may have to leave this as is for the time being. In the meantime, I'll start recording stuff for other races.

Here's a preview of the Ilwrath (which just happens to be one of my favorite lines of theirs): http://www.freewebs.com/aquilaeancodex/ilwra006.ogg

I can host it on uqm.stack.nl if you want.

Get a hold of me on AIM or ICQ or MSN or Yahoo! 'cause my e-mail can't handle files of this size.

Also, I'll be working on the sub timing. Thanks for the tip. Now, where's this tools package?

[for my add-on only]

Sounds good. What other voices can you do?

I can do the VUX and Druuge very well, I can do the Mycon decently, I can do the Thraddash and Ilwrath pretty well, and could probably do the simpler voices like Commander Hayes and the Slylandro too. The rest I haven't tried.

As for the Talking Pet, I consider myself good enough at that voice to release the first part of the new voiceover add-on! All of the Talking Pet speech has been replaced, and I've done something special for his mental compulsion commands.

That said, there are two (2) problems:

1: Most of the subtitles sync up great, and the new voices integrate seamlessly. However, some aren't so good, and it gets to the point where I'm gong faster than the subtitles are or vice-versa. Is there a way to alter this timing for my add-on only (so it doesn't screw with people who want to play vanilla UQM)?

2: Hosting: If I want to distribute this, I need someone to host it. My website does not transmit files at a very quick speed, and a zip file with 75 .ogg files in it gets pretty hefty. For now, I'm going to have it TEMPORARILY hosted on Medieval Future (if I can find a way to get the file to TiLT).

You guys know how to use add-ons, right?

Now just promise me you'll COMPLETELY change the Orz dialogue. I just can't stand talking to them as they are.

I have heard a LOT of complaints about the Orz. If I were to change them, what would you have me do? Is it something about their voice, or is it the actual words they say?

As for the rest of you, I'm glad my efforts are getting supported. If I need help with anything (and here I am thinking of the Spathi dialogue), I may host auditions.

Oh, JESUS! I just listened to the .ogg and it is completely horrifying! I don't know how or why, buy my .ogg converter completely trashed my crystal-clear .wav file. Let me just post the .wav (it's only slightly bigger) and I'll repost the link. Sorry about that.

I think my ears are bleeding.

Okay, here: http://www.freewebs.com/aquilaeancodex/talkp013.wav

Yeah, I'd insert missing stuff like the MetaChron, or maybe change the Talking Pet dialogue to say Glilandy instead of Benteflork and for Commander Hayes to get the name of the Yehat royal family right (though missing stuff would have to be reprogrammed). I also want it to be better sounding. Higher fidelity, obviously, since the 3DO stuff was recorded a WHILE ago... but there are also some voiceovers for some races that sound... unconvincing.

As for the duration, I know I'm gonna have to do some post-processing stuff on the races with weird voices (Spathi, Ur-Quan, Chmrr, and, God help me, the Syreen), but I don't plan on going halfway and then dropping it. I may release it on a per-race basis.

Here's a demonstration (I advise you to play the Precursors' Talking Pet music in the background to make this sound authentic): http://www.freewebs.com/aquilaeancodex/talkp013.ogg

Any other requests before I commit?

Since the Precursors are redoing the SC2 music, I had a thought: If I was willing to do new voiceovers for UQM, would you guys be behind it? I may have to recruit some help, but I think it would be a fairly simple procedure and wouldn't take long. What do you guys think?

I've got the Spindle and I've got the Helix, but what do I have to do to get the Rosy Sphere from the Druuge?

Alright, for the life of me, I can NOT get the Syreen to talk about the Mycon shells or shattered worlds. I've talked to them over and over, I've gotten the shell from their homeworld, I've met the Mycon personally, and the only dialogue choice left is "Goodbye, Commander Talana. I will be back." I need them to get pissed so they'll let me get their ships and blow the bejeezus out of the Mycon to get the Sun Device so I can free the Chmrr and BEAT THE FREAKIN' GAME!

...little help?
