I think real voice acting is the way to go, there's no way we can get that kind of emphasis or excitement out of a text to speech program.

[QuadrumpusGuy]

Who could we get for the Announcer?

[75]

... any volunteers?

xbolt, maybe?

I'll try it at some point, but right now I'm too busy in maps to worry about stuff like that.

[Datra]

When I get a good mic I'd be happy to give it a shot.

I tried making a few recordings, I can't do it, my voice isn't deep or strong enough. I also did a funny one with an accent, which would be hilarious in game. I might put that one in just for laughs.

If you'd like to hear my attempts, send me a pm. I didn't do all of the words, just the invasion stuff.

This might be harder than I thought

[ChexCommander]

I could try doing one or two, messing around with 'em in my programs, and see how they come out. No guarantees, though.

[75]

if you want to try improving mine, I'll send you the files.


Although you might be better off just recording your own...

Curious: The breakfast item in tucq on pickup made a cereal chewing sound. Should we bring that back? maybe paired with a "SUPERCHARGED BREAKFAST" announcement.

[75]

The newest version has the crunching sound in it 

and, yeah, we'll have to change the announcer voice, "SOULSPHERE!" doesn't make much sense

I think I'm just going to remove the RAGE! sound. It's not necessary with the song playing.

[Datra]

Nice.
ya we need a new announcer.

[MajorSlime]

I tried. I really did. I suck. Man, its hard to get it sounding exactly right and cool,while at the same time still being able to tell what it says. Blegh.

[75]

I know... I think somebody would need voice training to be a good announcer. It's the same set of muscles that would make you a good singer.

Would any singers like to give it a try?

[MajorSlime]

Okay, i've got a couple samples.


Heres the normal low one:

Heres a funny one. Just for kicks, although you could use it.

And then the cool one. I don't know if it would work or not.

yeah... Ima gunna have to get a better mic.

Headphones don't do the best sound recording.

@ChexMaster: lol I love that high pitch one.

[LAZ Trooper]

I can kind of do a good announcer voice, but I don't have a very good mic... I could give it a shot, though.
