You sound like this is a good thing?! O_o I don't like sexy Kohr-Ah! To me they've always been the heartless bold menacing male space nazis.
Nooooooooooo...

Hello. I am sorry to be a bother, and I'm not entirely sure if the project itself is closed entirely, but if you still need someone to work on the Yehat or some other race, I would like to apply. I'll need to get some recording equipment and figure out how to convert it into a sendable .wav file, but I can do that before getting to work on the "audition" three samples you mentioned sending to applicants. I'll be glad to have any real part in it, both due to liking the game and because it's practice for voice acting, I'm just specifying the Yehat because I have a specific interest in them. If the project is closed, I am sorry to annoy you and withdraw this request.

By the way, how ARE you doing the VUX voice anyway? Annoying, insinuating and slow, or otherwise?

Scum? I don't think so. "Master" is more like it.

Are you familiar with the annoying voice that That guy does on "Ferris Bueler's Day Off"? (excuse my misspelling of the title, if I did so.) That's how I've done the VUX at their homeworld, and for the general VUX in space, I've done a voice similar to (but better than) the VUX voice that was performed in SC3. Also, I'm giving Commander YAX (I said YAK in my previous posts. I apologize for the discrepency.) a sort of...Southwestern feel. Like Colonel Sanders. Also, there was a particular line in which it ends with some music. I was originally going to put some Barry Manilow in there, fading it out, but then I realized that if I did that, I would run into some copyright issues. So, instead I've created some VUX music of my own using some....unique instruments.
In response to your request, Garrett, YES! We have needed another voice for the Yehat. However, before I can send you anything, I need to know, do you want to be the voice of the Rebels or the Royalists? Whichever you don't choose will either be performed by myself or perhaps by another voice actor. <cough>Lance_Vader</cough>

I'll voice the rebels, sir. Mainly so I get to scream "The two thousand year reign of the Veep-Neep queens is OVER! THE REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN!", which I've always wanted to say.  Seriously though, I think I'd be better suited for that.
Edit: On another note, with "That guy", do you mean Ben Stein? Haven't seen that movie in a while, so we might mean different characters.

I'll do what I can. Still need the proper equipment and such, but I'll spend time practicing the lines until I'm able to send you the .wav files. On another note; which of us would be voicing the pre-revolution Yehat (for example, yelling at you for lying about the Shofixti, greeting you for the first time, that stuff)?

You know, it makes sense to use the same voice actor for both Yehat instances - it's not like they're singular characters (Fwiffo or ZEX) which need individualization.
EDIT: I don't know that voice you're speaking about, Davey, but if you say it's similar to the SC3 VUX voice, good (though not what I imagined).
EDIT TWO: Yep, Lance would work perfectly for the Mycon. Or maybe the Arilou.

That is a good point. The Yehat themselves pretty much give away the side they're on as soon as communications are established anyway. Perhaps Davey has his reasons for the idea, though.

Yes, Garrett, I do. They need specialization for two reasons. One, it's like the difference between a Victorian British accent and a Cockney British accent. The Royalists would have the equivelant of a Victorian accent (Though do NOT use a Victorian accent, I am only saying this for the sake of an example), and the Rebels would have the equivelant of the Cockney accent, They both sound similar, but there would be subtle differences. Two, there are two separate scripts. And pertaining to the pre-revolutionary rebel lines that have to do with the Shofixti( Every line before that will be done by the same person who does the Royalist voice -- it only seemed fitting that those special lines where the Shofixti's rebirth is revealed to the Yehat be done by the Rebels), they will be done by the person who is doing the Rebel voice (presumably at this point, Garrett).
Garrett, I need your e-mail or YIM screenname in order to send you the sample script. You don't have to post it here, so you can PM it to me if you wish.
One side note, I have a little MIDI track I threw in at the end of a particular VUX line, but I was wondering if anyone would protest to me just inserting the VUX victory ditty?

) have been completed, and it is ready to become part of the first official Taalo Project Voice Pack. As of right now, we still have 4 voices that need to be completed before the first pack is released: Captain Fwiffo, The Spathi High Council, All of the VUX in space (including Commander YAK), and Admiral ZEX. I have just recently recruited someone who I think will do a ZEX voice quite nicely. (Trust me, when he reads the lines, even I shudder out of discomfort
