So, let's determine a script for re-recording. It may be as long as desired
'cause most of the time was taken by cutting everything into pieces (1 hour for recording + 2 hours for processing (almost independent of record length) + 4 hours for cleaning&splitting (chores,chores,chores) )
So 'a lot of stuff' (like campaign briefings, intro text, may-be-of-use phrases, or anything like that) may be recorded and split into parts as required (if required).
I'll try to make a corrections to the scenario based on propositions in this topic and spontaneous ideas I had during the recording process. I think, that as soon as the voice appears in-game there will be more ideas. But, actually, which process would be more convenient? By simply posting ideas&editing and odt file? Or some joint work in wiki-like style?
We may also make different scripts for groan & neutral Keepers, because they are recorded separately. In the sketch I just thought of 'using' one of them and deleting another one. Maybe I should also try different processing for them to sound more distinctively different?
Had a few ideas, I'll post them here, just in case I'll loose my sheet of paper before I introduce them into electronic file
- We must retreat to regroup
- ... forces of darkness
- darkness shall prevail
- ... condolesssscensssse ...
- ... your cruelty
- darkness will embrace the light
- I wish I had killed it myself
- Even a bad dead enemy is a good undead minion
- Another job well doneDwarf has unfairly less phrases than others (29 phrases versus 47 for Keeper & 46 for Hero). I'll try to work more on his script. Moreover, next time I'll not be lazy to print out the script that I would be able to control & adjust recording levels live in order to avoid clips Dwarf and Hero suffered from (this was my natural voice so it was much more loud than others) & increase distance to the mic to recommended 50 cm to avoid pops. One more important hint for myself in order not to forget: do a separate removenoise for every track.
Maybe there would be ideas on more voice/characters? Like mad clown / evil AI computer-like voice, i.e. mantis-like (this time not R2D2
) / froggy voice / dark wizard. Or maybe some really 'neutral' soft voice should be added, just event announcement, without some specific character/mood/style.
@moderator/administrator: I believe, most of the above posts concerning voice acting should be moved to
viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1321 or to a new topic in 'OD Sound/Music' subforum. Thanks in advance
