Thanks so much for the compliments Made a new Smeagol/Gollum for you ^^ http://soundcloud.com/kstew86/smeagol-gollum_2

I literally clapped IRL. Spot on in my opinion. You really brought home that crazy feeling when you did the high pitches.

well this was my entry >.<

I'd have to agree with Shougou. I too love the girl entries. This one really brings a sense of worry/concern to the whole narrative. Good work.

Too many good ones! Here is mine and with a bad mic (tried to stop the static but my mic explicitly refused lol).

I have some crazy s sounds.. (not in a good way ) ss ss ssss

(check out the thick band of gray on mine and then compare it to everyone else... lol)


I like that a lot of girls have applied (you dont hear female voice overs on trailers too often) so good job girls!

And good job to everyone - makes me feel silly for even trying lol .

We need a game design contest of some sort where all you have to do is write and do silly charts... you guys too good for me lol

It's sucks that you didn't mean to have the static in there. You sounded like a Legatus/Judge. Potentially a Bane voiceover could be done with that. I was personally wondering how you pulled off that sound as I've been meaning to do a rewrite for the trailer from a Garlean Legatus' perspective but I haven't found out how to make that masked sound. The best I could think of is just cup my mouth with my hands or speak into an actual cup but it would be difficult to get the sound to go to the mic. Unless I put a hole in the bottom of the cup I guess, but then I'd be worried that my mouth was too close to the mic and I'd cause way too many splosives.

I particularly like your "Until Now", as well as your "beyond the reaches of time." You may not have meant this but you sound like a fallen/dying soldier, which is something I hadn't thought of and looking back, maybe I should have tried going that route instead. It's not as bad as you make it out to be. Lots of cool concepts in there.

I agree with you. Lalafells are underrepresented but we haven't seen all of the official entries. Maybe yours made it to the finals? I personally think you did a bit better, or at least on par, job than Papalymo's voice actor. You actually sounded young or lalafellish, while Papalymo sounds like an older gentlemen trying to pass as a kid, which maybe that's what happens to lalafells when they age. If that's the case, what's with the really low voiced Lalafells that I see around.... hmmmmm.....

Another thing I specifically liked about yours is that it sounded like you were informing or instructing a class. I thought that was kind of cute. Kind of like teaching a history lesson of some sort. When I think about it I think about the similarities of Dalamud and Meteor which ultimately brings to mind the children laughing at the end of Final Fantasy VII.

Thanks for nostalgia on that one.

Too kind XD!

I actually thought similar to you on the dying part lol. I was trying to make it darker, slightly softer bass, and less poppy exciting though I didnt mean to play dying (wanted darker particularly since we are talking about death and destruction not popcorn and candy hehe).

I was having trouble finding where to strain my voice.. but yeah dying is what I thought too after listening lol.

I like the great clarity you have in yours - got some good scratch in the voice as well (I think mine requires you to have subtitles and turn up your volume to have a sense of clarity lol).

Thank you! I think I might try to do a dying soldier and post it up here at a later date. I'd still like to try to figure out the whole mask sound effect first though. I could have a lot of fun with that one.

[Doho]

thanks! yeah, I actually went back and listened to Papalymo's voice. there's a little mature, gruffness to it.

[LolitaLollipop]

>.< thank you for the compliments guys

[Rhomagus]

This is my official entry.

I didn't change it much but I added a bit more drama to the end.

[Mamakat]

Well, I had my 2yr son help me out with mine I did it when the contest was first announced, and planned on changing it before I sent it. Time got away from me and I never got the chance to fix it or send it in. Thought I'd share it anyways. I was saying phrases and he was repeating me, and I attempted to mix it together (not well, hence having to re-do it :P)

Very awesome! Lot's of energy behind the "until now". Kind of reminds me of "The Landlord" skit by Will Ferrel and his daughter mixed with the opening to Advent Children. Very interesting / creative way to take the narration.

Absolutely adorable. Absolutely added to the OP.
