No offense to the people who worked on the voice overs, but PLEASE tell me how to turn them off.

Fot or not?

Using the "-T 0" command line option (set voice volume to 0) turns off the voices. Add this to your shortcut/link/batch file/script/whatever you're starting UQM with after the name of the UQM executable. Alternatively, use the launcher program mentioned in an earlier thread.

Yeah, is it me, or do all the voiceovers sound like they were done by someone who has just had a labotomy ?
They sound like they were read by someone who intended them to be heard by a 4 year old kid.

I thought the same thing, but not about all of them. The Thraddash, for instance, sound great! I am using the -T 0 option along with fullscreen, though.

Opinions on this subject seem to vary a lot. Personally, I think some of the voices are great (Thraddash, both Ur-Quan, Ilwrath, Hayes, Druuge) while some are downright annoying (but probably supposed to be that way) (Pkunk, Utwig, Orz). Most are reasonable, but hardly impressive.
By the way, the game seems to work without the speech files if you turn off the speech. The speech package seems to be optional now, so I guess you can just uninstall the voices if you want to get rid of them. Saves some disk space.

I find it very weird that they would even bother porting the 3DO stuff. Most people knew and loved the PC version. Plus, I didn't know a single person foolish enough to get a 3DO. I also don't see a single benefit to the 3DO game over the PC one. I personally don't like the voices or different scaling method in combat and the original MOD music rocked. Maybe I'm too much of a purist.

Actually I find the voices (for the most part) to be rather entertaining. The Pkunk and Spathi are good (sure they've got annoying voices but that's the whole idea).
If you want boring voices, just go visit the slylandro. It's like their budget ran out and they took you're average joe from the office to do the speech. You'd think that gas bags would have ... well more of a ghostly sound.
Just my 2 cents worth though.
