Well I'm actually near half but I don't exactly know what, and neither of my parents is Scottish, so I safely rounded down to a quarter.

Hey, I can do voices pretty good, actually. But, can you tell me how to record/ what do I need? I already have the micorphone. Oh, and I can do an eerie backround-ghost-spooky-voice thing, if you wanted. Please respawn to this!

You must believe in yourself, but never question others, you must learn to control your feelings, but never let your instinct clear your head of clarity, for wisdom is the only true knowledge, and only in truth can you really do a good Scottish accent.

Con-Foo-Siss Say...

Umm, but I don't care about doing a scottish accent...at the time that is. If I wanted to I would have been watching Braveheart all day :P...Well watching it all night too. Umm.. Yeah, that's all I got out of that was "...Then you can really do a Scottish accent."

Ok you've got the microphone (hopefully you mean a REAL microphone and not a computer mic but that's unlikely, oh well) and you plug it in to the mic in jack on your soundcard.

Then theoretically you can just open sound recorder which is supplied with most versions of windows IIRC and record your sound and post here!

But you'd be best off downloading a couple of programs to help get the best out of your performance.

Audacity - It's free, it's got a few useful filters for removing noise, dropping pitch etc. and it's quite good for multitracking. DEFINATELY reccomended.

Goldwave - It's quite cheap (about $20 IIRC) but I couldn't guide you through the latest version - 4.x was a bit more intuitive IMO. It's got some good effects but isn't really a necessity.

LAME - Freeware MP3 encoder. Absolutely brilliant. You can even encode in VBR. What more could you want? Use this or OGG vorbis (included in Goldwave, not sure about Audacity) to compress your files for posting here!


Some recording tips:

- You want your mouth at least 3 inches away from the mic
- Do a couple of test recordings and adjust the input volume so that you're peaking at around 80% of max volume; you don't want to go too loud because it'll clip and you don't want to go too soft because you'll lose definition, even if you turn the volume up.
- If you're getting pops you can try speaking through a piece of thin fabric, though this can muffle the sound.
- If possible don't hold the microphone - a mic stand is perfect and resting it on a table is better than nothing.
- Keep away from sources of noise e.g. noisy computer, TV in the next room etc. Some noise can be removed but not without detriment to the sound.
- Have fun when you do it and if you get frustrated just leave it and come back later. Try to get into the part as well.

^^; Thank you Jagged! I found the Sound Recorder in Windows and used that, but it has a little "scratchy" sound to it in the background. But, my Scottish isn't good enough to submit to Edward, but still was fun recording! Need another voice acting? I can do a bit of Irish, and a very good Steve Irwin. :-)

Hi!
Sorry if I'm picking up old topics in the Discussion Forum, but I need something.

Flirbnic, your accent is, I think, JUST what I'm looking for, but, Jagged has good ways of putting it. I... think Jagged would be the winner, but I'm not sure... Flirbnic! Could you post the following, you seemed to have forgotten to put them in:
  • Hay! What are you doing?
  • Ouch! (A couple of these if you please)
  • AAaarg... (Dying)
  • Leave them alone!

I'll try to record it when I have the chance. I really don't like recording when there are other people in the house who can hear me...

Hi!
Sorry for bringing up this topic again, but I have an anouncement to make... The winner is...... *drumroll*

Now, why did I choose him. Maybe it's because of the funny way he put the lines. The ouches, the blooper... Flirbnic was a bit... I don't know... Plain... BUT GOOD! I do like the rolling Rs.
But don't worry... When I release my level, I'll include all of your voices in the package. I know what your thinking... Won't that get too big to be submitted on Massassi? Well, as the SP level is already almost 200MB big, I've thought of semi-selling it. You send money, so I can buy a CD, burn all stuff on it, and then send it back, using your money to buy the stamps... So, everyone happy now? Good....

Selling = bad

but if you only going to purchase the CDs I guess that's fine. I'm sure you can compress it somehow.

Screenshots?

That's who I would've picked. I find it somewhat difficult to imagine my voice coming from any game character.
