Greetings folks.
Five days since my last post, and I currently have 17 male voices and 5
female voices. While this indeed is a good number, I know we can do much
better than that! (We especially need more female voices!)
In my last post, I asserted that it would take about an hour to record, but
made this point without proving the point (if only to myself). I therefore
have recorded my own voice.
I started the process by writing a linear script of phrases corresponding to
the 20 different categories required for Swamp. I then had to calibrate my
new Blue icicle XLR to USB adapter, making sure the gain wasn't too high,
and performing various test to check my levels.
My script contained at least three phrases for each category, but for most
of them I had four. I recorded three iterations of each phrase, then did the
pain grunts.
Net time: 45 minutes. The actual recording time was only 15 minutes. This is
me going to extreme. as I've said, you'll probably have a much smoother
experience than I.
There's nothing holding you back from being a part of one of the best audio
games available to date, folks. all it takes is at most an hour of your
time, a recording setup (even a headset with a suitable microphone would
do), and some creativity.
Jeremy's put in a lot of time and effort into coding this game, for which
people are constantly still placing requests and even demands upon him.
isn't it only fair that, if we expect him to give, we should be willing to
give in return? aprone's dedicated tons of hours into development and
debugging, 15 minutes to an hour isn't really too much to ask when compared
with that.
So come on, folks. Lets get recording. Lets give you the players lots of
choices on what kind of character voice you'd like. Lets give back to a
project that's given us hours and hours of enjoyment.

Subject: [Audyssey] Voices For Swamp
Greetings List.
I'd just like to take a bit of time to remind you all that Swamp is still
looking for vocal talent contributions. It's been a week since Aprone's
post, and I've so far only got 11 viable voice selections from nine
vocalists. That seems disappointingly few to me, and I'd like to urge
those of you who enjoy Swamp and have been wanting to be a part of it to
take this opportunity and contribute your voice to the project.
It doesn't take much time (an hour at most), and you get the chance to be
a part of one of the most popular games in the Audio Games community.
I'd also like to urge any female list members to contribute their voice,
as we currently only have one viable female selection (two, if I can get
one of the volunteers to resubmit her entry). Time and again I've heard
requests for female voices in Swamp, and I am only able to deliver what
you guys give me to work with.
I tried to add Aprone's original email to this one, but it seems that the
size limit on the list won't let me make such a post. Below, therefore, is
a link to the a discussion forum on Audiogames which contains Aprone's
original email, as well as some comments and clarifications. Feel free to
ask questions either here or there.

Again, I'd like to urge each and every one of you who enjoys Swamp to take
at most an hour out of your time and give something back to one of the
most popular audio Games to date. Thank you in advanced to those who have
or are going to submit an entry, and I look forward to having you be a
part of the Swamp epidemic.
Kai
