Topic: Lance_Vader's Utwig voicepack (Read 5542 times)

Lance Meibos (aka Lance_Vader) from Novel Narratives has recently (read: 3 weeks ago) begun work at an Utwig voicepack, and I tried various effects for the recordings.
Here are some samples:
Here is the raw voice.
Here is the voice with some echo&pitch-scaler-based effects.
Here is the voice with some equalizing and tempo&pitch decreasing.
And here is the voice with both effect sets applied.
Why am I posting this here? Why, of course, because I'm looking for some suggestions (especially on the effects part, but also suggestions for Lance)!

Holy hell, that is surely something o.o. Congrats to you and the Voice Actor!
More exactly, what variant do you prefer?

This sounds really good. I personally like the raw and tempo-enhanced versions. The echoing doesn't do it for me.
But overall, I think its a vast improvement.

I do prefer the one with the tempo enhanced versions (sans echo effect), because it sounds more "millitaristic" and less "ethereal." Lance_Vader said the same. It seems that I should scrap that effect. In fact, even I don't like it anymore.
One thing though, I don't think he sounds depressed enough when they have a smashed Ultron...  . |

Raw Voice zip file is corrupt "unexpected end of archive". Please fix.

Here the Raw Voice is.
Or, if you prefer, here.
I've just found out that using only half of the EQ effect for both the depressed and the exuberant Utwig works much better.
Result uploaded here.

Add-on packages:
Inside the directory where The Ur-Quan Masters content is installed, in the content/packages/ directory, there is a directory 'addons/'. In this directory, you need to create a directory 'uqmremix' and place (do not unzip) all the Remix Add-On pack .zip files there. When you specify the command-line option '--addon uqmremix', the .zip files inside the directory content/packages/addons/uqmremix/ will be included in the game and you will hear the new voice(s) instead of the original one(s).
However, this is just a sample; the voicepack is not finished. It's not even made an add-on -- Utwig voice files must be, in the .zip, in a comm\utwig folder. And they have to be named utwig000.ogg, utwig001.ogg etc., not Utwig000.ogg, Utwig 042.ogg etc.
HOWEVER, YOU CAN PLAY THE FILES USING, for example, Audacity - download here.

Fot or not?

Cool. Utwig capable of a wider range of expression than a constant level of whining (and a less caricatured form of depression). The less severe equaliser effect seems to work reasonably well. However, I think you should consider using the unprocessed voice, as it, in my opinion, conveys emotion better.

I think that the tempo decreasing is what decreases emotion. Without decreasing the tempo, but still using the other effects, it sounds much better.
