Then have the same actor voice both Yehat instances; both should have a Scottish accent, but the Royalists/pre-Revolution Yehat should sound more British/more proud, and the Rebels would be more like commoners.
BUT don't forget that the "THE REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN!" line should be in a Royalist style, as it would sound strange if halfway through the conversation, the accent of your Yehat interlocutor changes.
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?
What is that particular line anyway? "Very well... to the Death!" or ZEX's demise? If it's the former, the ditty would work; if it's the latter, a custom track would be required, as the Beast wins, not the VUX.
EDIT: Sorry, I think you referred to:
"Welcome to the end of your life, courtesy of VUX technology.
Our infinite supply of Intruder vessels is even now locking their vaporizers onto your position
and we shall end your painful, grotesque existence for you as soon as possible.
In the meantime, here is a little music..."
The ditty would be better here (the VUX think they'll certainly win).

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.
E-mail's kmtgarrett@aim.com. So basically, you'd voice everything until the Captain starts the revolution (when I'd take over for that conversation) by showing the Yehat the revived Shofixti, and then we'd split the work? Presumably since the Rebels win I'd be doing the scene where the Yehat and Pkunk send re-enforcements for the Captain's strike on the Sa-Matra, right? I don't really know how to do a Cockney accent, but I'll try for a Scots one.

You guys are completely confused over british accents.
A scottish accent is neither Victorian, 'british', royal, cockney or 'common'. Its just scottish. The more educated a scotsman is the slightly less thick his accent is. Cockneys are from East London
Yehat have a scottish accent

I know, I was just saying that (in response to Davey's ideas on how the voices should be done) I did not know how to do a Cockney one, but could do a bit of a Scots-sounding one.

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

I was not saying to use those accents at all, I was simply using those as examples to show what the difference was between the Royalist Yehat and the Rebel Yehat. *mutters to himself, something about when people don't read the entire post*
And yes, PLEASE do a Scots sounding one. I was thinking of doing something...well, traitorous-sounding for the Royalists, since they are, in my opinion, the true traitors. I dunno, been throwing around a few ideas. Also, Valaggar, thank you. That was the line I was referring to (I had both versions made, so I just needed to know which one to delete :p) . Anywho, yeah, the VUX are coming along somewhat slowly, but since the voice actor who will be doing ZEX's voice is coming today, I thought we might get all of the VUX done in one fell swoop.
Valaggar, do you think you could separate Fwiffo's lines from the regular Spathi lines into a new text file? As I've never threatened him, I'm not quite sure if some of these lines are his or not. It makes a HUGE difference, since I'm doing a unique voice for him. (Think Stitch, but more...well...Spathi-like  )

Understood. A lot more work than I figured, but I'll do what I can. Still have a while before school starts again, and then there are weekends and the like.

Copy that, Davey. I've already sent my reply. Thank you for the enclosed advice in your e-mail.

Well, having two (slightly different) accents for the two Yehat instances works, but two voices? Wouldn't it sound a bit silly that half of their race has a voice, and the other half has another voice?
Fwiffo's lines are spath000.ogg through spath034.ogg (including the latter).

Subject: Valaggar's strong opposition against a feminine Kohr-Ah voice
Summary: A feminine Kohr-Ah voice would confuse new players. (EMPATHIC CONCERN)
Detailed argumentation: A new player, upon hearing a feminine voice for the Kohr-Ah (and more so after hearing the Kzer-Za referring to the Kohr-Ah Primat as female), would assume that the Kohr-Ah are a matriarchal race. (WORRY) The aforementioned new player, upon posting on the forum (EXCITED EXPECTATION), would refer to the Kohr-Ah with "she" (INVOLUNTARY HILARITY), thus causing the thread to degenerate into noob flaming. (STRONG DISGUST)
Recapitulation: A feminine Kohr-Ah voice would be counterproductive. (STRONG STATEMENT)

Just because one leader of one government is referred to as female doesn't mean that females rule all positions in that government, or even that all leaders of that government have been female. Just because Elizabeth I once ruled England doesn't mean you'd assume that all English monarchs are/were female.
While it is possible that the Ur-Quan may have female leaders anyway, citing one leader at one point in time as decisive proof that *all* Ur-Quan (or Utwig, or anyone else) are ruled by them exclusively is simply silly.
Besides, "sexy" does not go with the Ur-Quan in any situation.
