Nut Case for Star Control
|
Now, I recall the first time I met the Yehat, cool music, great looking race. And then they spoke. They had an annoying high pitch voice, which kind of gratted on my ears, and it was obvious that the recording was dodgy.
I've been editing these about (inspiration from Valagar's Mycon Voice thing) and found out that it can easily be improved. By slowing down the pitch by 15% the voice turns from slightly weedy, to more warrior like, and more scottish.
Now personally, I like the idea of the microphone sounds, it makes it feel as if they are actually speaking to you, not just a recorded message. but, I didn't think it was done too well, so I added a slight echo effect, making seem more like a transmission.
Welp, here's included 10 samples I've completed in editing, I'll fix up the rest when I can. I hope these are alright  .

We love you, Neonlare!
Though I must say, the Yehat voice is my favourite UQM voice, I don't feel the need for it to be polished. Especially in this way.
Echo is best for Kzer-Za, I had already done such an add-on, but not uploaded it. I'll upload it in a few moments (sorry to those who must go to bed due to inconvenient time zone  ).

My favourite voice was the Druuge.

Ah, I knew something was wrong with Ur-Quan 000 to 008 - I think I used as the raw material for that clips my previous Ur-Quan voice remastering, which pitched them up. So Urq 000 to 008 need +3 semitones or so, or better yet a re-editing. I'm doing it.
OK, I'm done. Now, if you re-download the add-on, it'll be fixed.

Um... err... sorry to have misjudged you without actually hearing the completed version, but... you know... now that I've actually used you've REALLY done a brilliant work. The voice is much better this way. I'm going to use it.
Thumbs up for Neonlare.

I'm sorry to contradict you on this one, Neonlare, but I personally think that the VUX voice must be re-recorded from scratch.
I mean, while playing the original Star Control 2, I AVOIDED encounters with VUX with a passion 'cause they unnerved me SO much with their disgusting appearance, insinuating dialogue and VERY repulsive font (especially the font).
The current voice just COMPLETELY nullifies the effect.
If you want voice acting for the VUX, a calm, insinuating and high pitched voice is what you need.

Wow, it's the best thing you could do to the VUX voice except re-recording it. Good job so far.
