Hi Thomas,
I know what you mean about your voice. Don't know if you have had chance 
to play River Raiders, but I'm not too impressed with my vocal performance 
either. I'm 23 years old and I still think I sound much like a 15 year 
old. Add to that I'm from the UK, so my voice sounds much out of sync with 
the rest of the available audiogames out there simply because of my broad 
yorkshire accent. Smiles.

Regards,
Damien.

Hi Lori,

Ummm...No, I couldn't really do that. To begin with my actual voice is
terrible. Kind of like a teenager going through puberty where it
cracks and doesn't know if it wants to be high or low. Secondly, and
more importantly, I have muscle/nerve damage to my face so it makes it
very difficult at times to talk and eat, because I don't have full
muscle control over my mouth. As a result I tend to mumble words or
slur them because I'm unable to make my mouth properly form the words.
That's why I don't use my own voice for games etc. I will say its
really frustrating for me to try and talk on the phone, and have a
client, friend, etc ask me to try and repete something because I just
can't say what I want to say too clearly.

i've been reading mails from the chap for about five years now, but never 
heard his voice.


I've heard phil, che and jim on interviews, but not tom?  maybe he's 
really a growling demon from the pits of hades and doesn't want us to know 
it,  that would also explain his intensive knolidge of griek

Re: [Audyssey] Idea for Mota

2011-05-04 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi,

AhNo. I'm definitely not from Boston or any New England city or
state. I'm an Ohio boy through and through. So I have a typical Mid
Western American accent if you want to call it that. That is to say I
don't have any accent at all. I also don't use slang southern or
otherwise. As an educated person I have always tried to avoid various
slang like warsh instead of wash, y'all instead of everyone, crick
instead of creek, and so on. I for the most part use textbook American
English rather than fall back on the back country slang my southern
relatives use. Sometimes I think they are speaking another language.
Imagine listening to my southern relatives when they might say
something like, How's about y'all go down to the crick and catch us
some feesh for dinner?I'm like what is feesh? What is a crick?

You take my point. I understand them quite clearly having grown up
hearing it all my life, but all the same I've definitely tried not to
copy their bad English or use their particular grammar and slang. So
when I learned proper English in school I always did my best to
overcome the southern slang I grew up with and learned how to speak
properly. I always felt, even when I was young, an employer or anyone
else would respect me if i didn't sound like a back country hick, and
sounded like a well educated American from the Mid West. So anyway I
don't have a Boston accent, or any accent at all.

Cheers!

 i did however have Tom down for the more cultured sort of American voice,
 the type that sounds quite close to an English accent but stil
 American,  I think it's the boston accent, the way frazier speaks.

 Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Idea for Mota

2011-05-03 Thread dark

Ouch Tom.

i'm really sorry to here this, and actually it's a major surprise.

I tend to automatically imagine people's voices when i read in a none audio 
way especially if they are a character in a story or if I've not actually 
heard their voice before, and in my head you actually sound pretty much like 
kelsy gramma (possibly mangled spelling), the chap who played Frazier, beast 
in the x men films, side show bob in the simpsons etc.


So hereing this makes for quite an odd disparity really, though sinse I've 
not heard your voice in person I'll go on believing you sound like frazier 
anyway ;D.


All the best,

Dark.

A shame lori, i think scots accents sound fantastic!

My parents' local accent is nottingham, which is a horrible mix betwene 
yorkshire, bermingham and manchester, and sounds really! horrible.


this is one reason I myself have such queens' english pronunciation, I 
trained myself out of my local accent at the age of about 17, - that and 
going to a university full of slightly upper class people, and of course 
doing singing fairly seriously.


Beware the grue!

Hi is this a video game you did the voice for?  I too hate my accent, I'm

sound very shy and sometimes mix up what I'm trying to say and have to get 
my tongue out of a tangle Smile  Don't worry Thom, you should hear what

Hi Thomas,
I know what you mean about your voice. Don't know if you have had chance 
to play River Raiders, but I'm not too impressed with my vocal 
performance either. I'm 23 years old and I still think I sound much like 
a 15 year old. Add to that I'm from the UK, so my voice sounds much out 
of sync with the rest of the available audiogames out there simply 
because of my broad yorkshire accent. Smiles.

Damien.

Hi Lori,

Ummm...No, I couldn't really do that. To begin with my actual voice is
terrible. Kind of like a teenager going through puberty where it
cracks and doesn't know if it wants to be high or low. Secondly, and
more importantly, I have muscle/nerve damage to my face so it makes it
very difficult at times to talk and eat, because I don't have full
muscle control over my mouth. As a result I tend to mumble words or
slur them because I'm unable to make my mouth properly form the words.
That's why I don't use my own voice for games etc. I will say its
really frustrating for me to try and talk on the phone, and have a
client, friend, etc ask me to try and repete something because I just
can't say what I want to say too clearly.

Hi Dark,

Yeah, I do pretty much the same thing when reading e-mails. Since I
don't know what someone souhnds like I tend to associate them with the
voice of some film star, movie character, etc as well. However, as
this topic proves that can be as far from the truth as possible.

As for my own voice I manage. I've learned over the years if I want to
be pretty clear to my audience, such as speaking to a client over the
phone, I will talk a bit slower than usual  in order to make my words
clear and not slur them. Like a person who stutters I have to
consciously think about how to say some words in order to make them
loud and clear enough to be understood without repeating them. If i
don't my words will come out with a little lisp or slurring. I might
be able to do a podcast or something, but doing voice overs for menus,
status reports, i don't think would sound too good in a game.

Ouch Tom.

i'm really sorry to here this, and actually it's a major surprise.

I tend to automatically imagine people's voices when i read in a none 
audio
way especially if they are a character in a story or if I've not 
actually
heard their voice before, and in my head you actually sound pretty much 
like
kelsy gramma (possibly mangled spelling), the chap who played Frazier, 
beast

in the x men films, side show bob in the simpsons etc.

So hereing this makes for quite an odd disparity really, though sinse 
I've
not heard your voice in person I'll go on believing you sound like 
frazier

anyway ;D.

All the best,

Dark.

Thank you sir.

Though sir forgets that butlers are always! the murderous ones ;D.

given the English sterriotype though charlse and the fact that I do have a 
rather propper accent, i can see why you thought this, though of course like 
all sterriotypes it's not really true I think.


Beware the Grue!

I never had sean bean in mind for tom really lori, the midlands accent sort 
of just never fitted.


i did however have Tom down for the more cultured sort of American voice, 
the type that sounds quite close to an English accent but stil 
American,  I think it's the boston accent, the way frazier speaks.


Beware the Grue!

Hi Dark,
As faras I can see we Americansseem to have an accident for English that we
seem to apply across the board.

Best Regards,
Hayden

Well Lori, I do not want to put this in the list, maybe I just should 
tell you off list, but I was wondering if Miscast might interview tom 
and ask him how he thinks his concatenated version of his voice is a 
help out there. If you want to yak about this more I will most 
definitely e-mail you off list.
