Need Voice Script Writers and Actors for various projects!

[thudmeizer]

@ Gabriel.. ughh the forums never sent me an email notification.. Sorry being late replying.

WH_AS project is not "in scope" currently but they had all their voices in-game anyway so no biggie.

I seriously could use Ali for Eldar/Craftworld/Harlies voices asap!!

Update..

Blood Angels are ALL DONE and both Imperial Guard Elysians and Vostroyan are nearly complete.

We still seriously need scriptwriters for those factions mentioned above.

Space Marines
Blood Ravens
Crimson Fists
Imperial Fists
Iron Hands
Raven Guard
Red Scorpions
Salamanders

Chaos Space Marines
Alpha Legion
Black Legion
Night Lords
Red Corsairs

Imperial Guard
Various squad types (ie. Penal Legionnaires)
Various Imperial Navy aircraft (ie. Thunderbolt Heavy Fighter)
Various vehicles (ie. Colossus, Leman variants, and Super Heavies like StormLord or Capitol Imperialis)

Please apply..

Voice Actors also welcome!

[Exsus]

What do you still need voice actors for? I might be able to do some guard type units, possibly some Mechanicus.

[Inquisitor Lord]

Let me know if you need anything Inquisitorial. Lines, or voice acting. But I can probably do most other Imperial groups.

BTW The alpha legion will often use Imperial battle cries. "So things like for the Emperor" Are not out of the question. They may also say something like "For the many heads of the Hydra"

[thudmeizer]

Thanks guys! PMs sent to both of you.

[Gabriel Angelos]

Once I am done with the Blood Ravens I think Ill take the Night Lords if that is ok

Btw, I could Ali to do only one voice and I am sure that she would be better than the current canoness voice actress tough. However thats their business.

what happened to their mod anyways? they vanished just like that right?
Note: PM on that subject lolol.

[thudmeizer]

That would be stellar.. all set there if you wish.

Btw, I could Ali to do only one voice and I am sure that she would be better than the current canoness voice actress tough. However thats their business.

I would 10,000x prefer any new voice actors be associated with projects which are proceeding forward. WitchHunters is not one of those due to the mod leader's desires to cease and desist any further development thus any outside work on their build is counter-productive. I have so much more lucrative endeavours for potential actors.

what happened to their mod anyways? they vanished just like that right?

Yeah the WH_AS devs just stopped as they worked so incredibly hard on it. It was 95% done too.

[lenco12]

time lines are within reason but generally flexible (so long it doesn't take weeks or months to complete a single unit's 30-60 lines). Drop me a PM. I am quite interested that you can voice act.

[thudmeizer]

Thanks Lenco.. check your PM.

[thudmeizer]

Update..

Check first post..

We only have two more Elysian units to do but have been stuck on those two for months.

As noted three posts above, we need script writers for any of the above. Please apply!

Of course, this is an excellent chance to voice act as well. Thanks everyone!

[thudmeizer]

Another update...

First post updated!

Vostroyans are now COMPLETE!

We're still desperately looking for script writers for the following factions:

Space Marines
Blood Ravens
Crimson Fists
Imperial Fists
Iron Hands
Raven Guard
Red Scorpions
Salamanders

Chaos Space Marines
Black Legion
Night Lords
Red Corsairs

Imperial Guard
Catachans

Also, always looking for voice actors to help out bring War40k to life!! Thanks all!

[ErodedMatt]

Wow, been a while since I was here...

Thud... sorry about dropping out of contact, but a paying job takes priority, and as it took me to France... didn't have ANY chance to do anything... so if you can send me some new sound files...

Also, the DA ones were really truncated and distorted. Could you possibly re-record them? Put a single pantyose over a metal hanger, and hold it betweenthe mic and your mouth if you'rehaving problems with plosives (B's, S's, T's etc), and make sure you're not clipping the mic input.

Looking forward to a response.

PS: I'll PM you my email again.
PPS: I can also do voice acting. Hopefuly a low, smoker's voice won't bother you.

[Shoota Fodder]

I'll happily do some voice acting. I've got a pretty good quality mic designed for studio work, but I'm not sure if a deep Scottish voice is particularly suitable for anything! Anyway, PM if you need me.

[thudmeizer]

Thud... sorry about dropping out of contact, but a paying job takes priority, and as it took me to France... didn't have ANY chance to do anything... so if you can send me some new sound files...

Ahhh Matt.. holy gawd man its been.. months Ok sending to email.

Thanks Shoota.. Sending PM.

----------

@Shoota -- I cannot send you a PM as you exceeded your size limit. Please open it up plez.

[thudmeizer]

First Post updated once more..

We seriously need the following for immediate scripting..

White Scar vehicles (about 5 of these to do then its done)
Imperial Guard Super Heavy vehicles (about 6 of these to do then its done)
Traitor Legion (about 5 of these to do then its done)

Also need two Space Marine vehicles scripted:
Caestus Assault Ram -- See HERE for details!
Chaplain Venerable Dreadnought

As always, check first post noting what we're still not complete on AND any voice actors are welcome.

[Shoota Fodder]

Ah jeez sorry for the late reply. Try PM'ing me again Thud, messages have been cleared.

[thudmeizer]

Thanks Shoota.. check PM.

[thudmeizer]

Update!

Elysians are now all done!

**PLEASE** check the first post of this thread for those Space Marine, Chaos Space Marine, and Imperial Guard (Catachans) still requiring help!

However, the following are priority so we urgently need these done:

White Scar squads and vehicles (about 7 of these to do then its done)
Imperial Guard Super Heavy vehicles (about 6 of these to do then its done)
Traitor Legion (about 5 of these to do then its done)

We sincerely could use your help.

Further, any aspiring or ambitious voice actors are, of course, always welcome!

[my1000ghosts]

I write/read a lot of Warhammer Fantasy/40K stories and Lore in my Spare time, None of my stuff has been published (Yet )
So I would Love to help in scriptwriting, I am willing to do what ever you want done (I Have a LOT of time on my hands)

So just Message me with anything you would like, Any thing you want added, Ect. and I'll get on it

[thudmeizer]

Superb, 1000s.. check your PM asap!

[Warboss Gorgutz]

if you still need voice actors, I think I could help.

[GothicHorror]

I'm pretty sure I could devote some runtime to voice acting, if you still require peeps.

I might also be able to put some script together for you.

[thudmeizer]

Super, Gorgutz.. please check PM.

[Elerium]

I could give it a shot at scriptwriting some of the units.. maybe even rework some like the Tau Farsight dudes- I kind of imagine the Gue'la being patriotical twisted to Tau dudes rather than US styled soldiers and Farsight suits being more "clan" (think Battletech) versions of the Tau Empire. Also more cockier and more faith in their skills as each is a veteran in their own right. Definitely not alien samurai, but really tough proud warrior Tau as a brotherhood with a cocky/supremacist ego.

If you also want me to go over some of the units voices to see if they sound right (in RTS it can be a bit of a laborious effort to try and get them to sound as they should) I could help out with this too.

[thudmeizer]

Hi Elerium.. I take it you saw our bloody-massive Tau voice script collection. Not sure we need any re-writes and I've started the voice actors speaking their best Asian/Japanese accents for the parts. Each script is created based on the best TT players of the faction being written for. I haven't selected any actors for the Gue'la yet. Is it Tau you only wish to do?

[Elerium]

I don't mind helping out writing for either Crimson Fists, Catachan, Raven Guard or Imperial Fists

Although with the Tau I was just wondering if ya wanted some script changes for more of a different take on the Enclave rather than the samurai stuff that people go for with Farsight.

I can also give your super-heavies a go too.

[thudmeizer]

Ok I'll fire off a PM to you..

[BowlingHanshees]

Your entries for daemons are a bit vague. Is Soundfx someone's handle or are you considering taking dry samples and playing around with them until they sound right? If the latter is the case, you'll get a far more convincing result if you let me handle them. I'm an ex-death metal vocalist and could do a decent job on the more aggressive daemons if you need it.

[thudmeizer]

Oh? hehe.. you don't know the kind of raw SFX collection I got + you need a good set of editors/VSTs to generate bizarre/warped sounds but PM me some samples of say Khorne Bloodletters or Fleshhounds. I have quite a few of my own all in-game.

[BowlingHanshees]

Yo. Had to record this using my laptop in a hotel room so the mic quality is crappy to say the least. If you're interested in doing something with these, I'll do a proper recording when I get back home.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/ac9vjn...%20Mixtape.mp3

Unfortunately, this is the only voice that I can do. I never learned how to do higher-pitched growls.

[thudmeizer]

I'll have a listen when I get home tonight. Best to re-record your audition on the 'best possible' setup. I clean up very bad recordings but only to a point.

[BowlingHanshees]

I won't be able to do that for another week since I'm currently on a trip. I do have the equipment and the knowledge to carry out decent recordings though, so you don't need to worry if you want to use my material.

[thudmeizer]

I can wait the week.. send me the audition via PM please when ready. Sooner the better.

[BowlingHanshees]

Might be a good idea to listen to the Mediafire upload first. I'm not sure if this approach will fit the role and, even if it does, I'd imagine that it will be very hit-or-miss.

[thudmeizer]

Check PM.. we're live baby!

[thudmeizer]

**Aug 27th UPDATE**

Both Alpha Legion and Last Chancers/Penal Legion are NOW Complete!

Blood Ravens is nearly done and will be complete in a few weeks so we're doing superbly there.

We are now down to the final chapter still needing your scripting help!

Chaos
Black Legion -- 40% Done

We're now in the home stretch!

Since starting this back in Sept'09 we've overcome huge logistical challenges and superseded all expectations. As a community, you came together and did the impossible: to put a voice to one which has never had one. Bravo community!

Voice actors always welcome!! We seriously could use your help!

Quick Note
Also.. to showcase some of the art the team is doing which many of the voice scripts will go to check out THIS LINK. This gentleman is doing some incredible 3d work which will go into the projects to which many of the voice scripts are being written for. Please offer your kind support.

[thudmeizer]

**Sept 22th UPDATE**

Both Blood Ravens and Black Legion are NOW Complete!

Project is now OFFICIALLY CLOSED after starting this journey back in Sept'2009.

We will be unofficially working on Harakoni Warhawks, and both all Primarchs and Necromunda units. We will add those here to the first post as we progress.

We're also making GREAT STRIDES with the voicing having done more than half now!

Thanks so VERY MUCH to everyone over the last 2 years who helped make this dream happen.

[thudmeizer]

**Nov 20th UPDATE**

Harakoni Warhawks are now all scripted (thank you Golden Horde!!)! Now we're working to complete all of Adeptus Mechanicus.

What we really need are VOICE ACTORS who love anything War40k, are committed to getting voices recorded in a timely manner, and have a decent recording setup (based on audition).

There is no real requirement for accents but the 'always-in-demand' accents are generic N. American, English, and Russian.

This is a COMMUNITY EFFORT so please let us know! We have ALL THE SCRIPTS done now but need the voices to turn them into legend!

Thanks everyone!

[thudmeizer]

**Dec 08th UPDATE**

Adeptus Mechanicus are now all scripted!

In future, we'll be scripting all the living (and perhaps dead) Primarchs as well as an army of Necromunda units.
As of this writing, half of the Primarchs are all written so we only have the Chaos ones to do.

We're still looking for VOICE ACTORS who love anything War40k, are committed to getting voices recorded in a timely manner, and have a decent recording setup (based on audition).

The 'always-in-demand' accents are generic N. American, English/British, and Russian.

This is a COMMUNITY EFFORT so please let us know! We have ALL THE SCRIPTS done now but need the voices to turn them into legend!

Bonus: If you wish to track our overall workflow progress keep watching THIS!

Thanks everyone!

[Godlike_Power]

What voices are left to be done Thudo? And what do you mean by 'timely manner'

This has got my attention. And I didn't even know some the mods you put on the first page even existed.

[thudmeizer]

Well "timely manner" being within a reasonable time. I've had Voice Actors (VAs) who took months to do a single unit whereas others would voice 5+ units (each with 70-75 lines) in a week so...

You can see the list which "factions" still need to be voiced. Now I've better provided a To Do of whats scripted, voiced, and post-processed, you will understand whats done and whats left to do.

We certainly could use another voice!

[Godlike_Power]

Okay I'll have a go at voicing. And you're in luck too. I'll have to do it in a week (as Im going to marutius on the 22nd until 4th January). Better get a new mic as my old one seems to be dying.

Do I have to add the extra effects the voices or is that the job of the post sound production team?

Just a tad confused with the percentages. Example:

White Scars -- Asian/Mongolian Accent 100% Scripted 100% Voiced 0% Post-Processed

Does this mean the script and voices are done? And 0 % percent post processed? It's just because the post-processed bit doesn't have percentage at the end and I might be reading them in the wrong order.

[thudmeizer]

- Leave me a PM with your email contact info..
- We just need your best RAW voice.. no special fx added.. we do that.
- As per the list, all Thousand Sons are done (3+ months ago) but Darneth Lysander.. absolutely!!! So you love the Imperial Fists, eh? Yeah we haven't commence voicing on those but jONES will be pleased!

We've be concentrating on doing the core SM, CSM, and all of the Imperial Guard completely.. (and I mean ALL OF IT EVERYWHERE PRETTY MUCH as per the list). Orks, Tau, Eldar/Craftworld, and Eldar/Harlequins long since done. Not too flipp'n bad for since Sept'09 work, eh? Not sure whats been harder these 2+ years of this insane crusade: coordinating all the script writing or managing the VAs (sooo much followup emails per VA good gawd!!!).

[Godlike_Power]

Been quite a fan of the Imperial fists for a while. Second favourite chapter after the Space Wolves.

Ok I'll send you a pm and as for me, I'll get a new mic .

When it says generic do you mean British? Just that I was thinking along the lines either giving Lysander a strong proud British voice or a light, booming N. American accent.Either way it would show his pride and his long centuries of expierience.

[thudmeizer]

UPDATE

Yes things are still happening. Thanks to the utterly brilliant script writer and War40k codecs/fluff master, Golden Horde, since the last revision he has managed to complete the following:

- All the remaining SM and CSM Primarchs (mostly voiced now btw)
- New Imperial regiment fully scripted: Kanak Skull Takers
- Extra Space Marine units (ie. Landspeeder Storm and Damocles for select chapters like Imperial Fist, Iron Hands, Raven Guard, and Salamanders)

Whats next to be scripted then voiced?

- Full Genestealers Cult
- Chaos Abominatus Titan
- Space Marine Storm Eagle

Check first post for updates..

[thudmeizer]

UPDATE (again)

In the next few weeks I will be publicizing all major SM, CSM, IG, Eldar, Ork, and Tau faction voices to the world. They will only be raw takes but will be sorted, named correctly, and cropped. No cleaning, normalizing or post-processing/FX added but thats easy for someone to do. All raw takes will be ready for a sound engineer to work with WITH FULL CREDITS given.

We're reaching the latter half of voicing pretty much everything in War40k but have some minor bit remaining..

We need some script writers who know the following three hero units well to come forward to help us script these asap.. (yes its a semi-rush job here!)

Pedro Kantor (Crimson Fists)
Luther (Fallen Angels)
Jaghatai Khan (White Scars)

Please PM me immediately!

[thudmeizer]

Nearly done now. A lot has happened since the last update so will be publicizing the voice package locations for download.

We need the following scripted asap..

Imperial Guard Valhallan units (8 units)
Imperial Guard Death Korps of Krieg (1 unit)

If you know anyone PLEASE let us know asap!

[thudmeizer]

Right now we need mostly the Valhallan (11xUnits) and DkoK Imperial Regiments (1xUnits) voiced scripted for a Skirmish game. The current requirements:

Valhallans

Builders
Techpriest

Infantry+Sergeants
Rough Riders
Rough Riders Sergeant
Veteran Squad
Veteran Squad Commander

Commanders
Voxcaster
Company/Regimental Standard
Medic
Ministorum Priest
Master of Ordnance
Officer of the Fleet

Death Korps of Krieg

Commanders
Regimental Standard Bearer

Thats all we need then we're all done, completely!

So anyone who basically understands Valhallan or DkoK lore/fluff we would love to have your voice scripts written to bring these final units alive to the world.

[thudmeizer]

Ok post-processed samples of various War40k characters are ready..

PLEASE NOTE.. these are NOT final but represent a decent in-game cut of the direction we're heading but again, these are NOT the final cuts. These are only to give you a taste of whats coming..

Download them HERE!

[Gambit]

WHOA!!! Man, this is indeed EXCELLENT work!!
And it's.... HUGE work as well....
I admire your passion man - this is a task that requires too much of one's free time.

[thudmeizer]

Labour of Love, bro.. I have 3x post-processors helping out but they can only do a fraction of a fraction of the work so I do it myself with some high end tools. This is just preliminary work but I likely could put most of it in-game immediately but the ones with high distortion I still need to fix.
