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. For your convenience, I'm posting Aprone's original email below mine, which contains the guidelines and script for vocal submissions. 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 *** Aprone's Original Email *** I've been meaning to post a new request for voice volunteers! As you all know, the current voices for Swamp have been very good and have served the game well thus far. The problem is, now that the game is growing there is a larger list of phrases needed and that means the old voices will need to be thrown away. The volunteers for the old voices are certainly welcome to record new ones, but even old phrases would need to be re recorded so that everything has the same sound. The list is long but here is what we are looking for. First off, please try to record these with the nicest microphone you have and with the least amount of background noise. Kai has asked that all of these phrases be recorded as 1 long sound file so that he can more easily work on it. There are a series of phrase categories that we need, followed by a few examples. The examples are not exactly what you need to say! I already expect that 90% of people will send in these exact phrases word for word, but we are actually hoping to get a bit of variety to reflect different people. The examples are to help you think up your own, but you can use the examples if they are actually what you'd want to say. We are looking for 3 messages for each of the phrase categories so that the best 1 or 2 from each can be used. If a voice doesn't have at least 1 good phrase from each category then it can't be used, so that's why it's worth the extra effort to have everyone record 3. Name for your voice: 1 or 2 words to distinguish your voice in the menu list. Greeting: Hello, salutations, Well met Ammo crisis: I need to reload Beckon: Over here, This way, On me Brag (after a kill): Take that, Who da man, Ooh, what a mess, target is down Confirmation: Affirmative, Got it, Lets do it, Ten Four Negative: That's a negative, I don't think so, No thanks Follow: Follow me, On my mark, This way Give Help: I've got your back, I got ya, I'll guard you Report: Mission complete, Success, Objective met Seek Help: Cover me, Watch my back, I could use a hand Stay: Stay here, Hold this position, Wait here taunt: Come on, Die ugly, Eat lead!

Help: Help!, Medic!, I'm being overrun! In pain: If possible we'd like 3 sounds to represent being in pain. These aren't the death screams but rather the pain noises to let others hear that you are being attacked. Hint, pain grunts are rather short, haha. Just as before, Kai and I will determine how many voices will be included and we will pick that number from the submitted recordings. In advance I'd like to thank all who submit voices, and I hope that no one is upset if their own voice doesn't end up in the game for whatever reason. Please know that it won't be meant as anything personal. Hopefully after these submissions we will have a more expressive set of voices as well as some female voices, which have been needed for quite some time. Thanks once again!

Of course if it's zombey growls you'd like too I'd be happy to send them along now, otherwise you might not get mine until Saturday.

Re: [Audyssey] Voices For Swamp
A note of information, it actually took me about an hour to do two full submissions, which included finding batteries for my r09, loading up the web page, switching headphones to find the distance sweet-spot to hold the recorder, recording two complete sets of the phrases in different voice characters, loading up said recordings in Reaper, (which included changing my loading preferences to send .wav files to Reaper), figuring out how to render from Reaper, cursing a blue streak for Reaper not seeing the lame encoder I know I've installed, switching over to flak and rendering, copying said files to my drop box account, then going up on the site and posting said links. Since Jeremy/Kai are doing all the processing, all you need is a good quality recording device, whether your computer or as in my case an external digital recorder. I suspect even a Vrstream would do if you converted the amr files to mp3, since stereo v. mono probably doesn't matter. So get to it.

Re: [Audyssey] Voices For Swamp
I just skipped all that. Wanted to use my mixer, but was having a bit of trouble with it, so used my headset with reaper, and had it record straight to flac and threw them in my dropbox, and emailed them to Kai. Mike.

Since Jeremy/Kai are doing all the processing, all you need is a good quality recording device, whether your computer or as in my case an external digital recorder. I suspect even a Vrstream would do if you converted the amr files to mp3, since stereo v. mono probably doesn't matter. So get to it.

Re: [Audyssey] Voices For Swamp
Greetings Dan. The link in the email I sent should provide the details you need to make and post the recording. Most people are just emailing him dropbox links, and that's probably the best option, though you definitely can still email the mp3 file to him.

Re: [Audyssey] Voices For Swamp
How strange. So there was apparently some strange delay involved with my posting this email. I wonder if I'm still on moderated status, despite my joining this list over two months ago from this new email address?

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 *** Aprone's Original Email *** I've been meaning to post a new request for voice volunteers! As you all know, the current voices for Swamp have been very good and have served the game well thus far. The problem is, now that the game is growing there is a larger list of phrases needed and that means the old voices will need to be thrown away. The volunteers for the old voices are certainly welcome to record new ones, but even old phrases would need to be re recorded so that everything has the same sound. The list is long but here is what we are looking for. First off, please try to record these with the nicest microphone you have and with the least amount of background noise. Kai has asked that all of these phrases be recorded as 1 long sound file so that he can more easily work on it. There are a series of phrase categories that we need, followed by a few examples. The examples are not exactly what you need to say! I already expect that 90% of people will send in these exact phrases word for word, but we are actually hoping to get a bit of variety to reflect different people. The examples are to help you think up your own, but you can use the examples if they are actually what you'd want to say. We are looking for 3 messages for each of the phrase categories so that the best 1 or 2 from each can be used. If a voice doesn't have at least 1 good phrase from each category then it can't be used, so that's why it's worth the extra effort to have everyone record 3. Name for your voice: 1 or 2 words to distinguish your voice in the menu list. Greeting: Hello, salutations, Well met Ammo crisis: I need to reload Beckon: Over here, This way, On me Brag (after a kill): Take that, Who da man, Ooh, what a mess, target is down Confirmation: Affirmative, Got it, Lets do it, Ten Four Negative: That's a negative, I don't think so, No thanks Follow: Follow me, On my mark, This way Give Help: I've got your back, I got ya, I'll guard you Report: Mission complete, Success, Objective met Seek Help: Cover me, Watch my back, I could use a hand Stay: Stay here, Hold this position, Wait here taunt: Come on, Die ugly, Eat lead! Warning: Watch out, heads up, Be careful Battle cry: Lets go!, Lets do it!, Lets rock! Ready: Ready, I'm set, Here Hold: Wait for me, I'm coming, one sec Pressure: Hurry up, Go go go!, get the lead out Death warning: Man down!, we lost someone, we're taking casualties! Help: Help!, Medic!, I'm being overrun! In pain: If possible we'd like 3 sounds to represent being in pain. These aren't the death screams but rather the pain noises to let others hear that you are being attacked. Hint, pain grunts are rather short, haha. Just as before, Kai and I will determine how many voices will be included and we will pick that number from the submitted recordings
