Anyone can join, so long as the following guidelines are followed. Guidelines:
Recording should be in 44100 Hertz or higher (remember, just because you can record in that hertz, doesn't mean the sound quality is equivalent to it).
Recording should be no less than 192 Kbps
Preferred file format: .wav; Secondary preferred is .mp3.
You can voice as many characters as you like.
You have two weeks to voice the character after you pick it. If you need an extenion let me know with reason why.
I'm not going to stop you from picking a character someone else already claimed, in the case two or more people want to do the same character, they will have to compete by uploading a voice clip of the character, with a line said from the game (I'll pick if multiple), and the community can choose who's voice they like better for the character.
Please think responsibly and know if you would have a proper voice for the character before going: OHMAGAWSH I WANT TO VOICE DAT CHARACTER!!! List of Characters + Actors (yes, I pulled this from >my post in the Racers wiki topic. )
Questions and Answers:
Q. What is XXX? And how do I deal with XXX when voicing the line?
A. Be creative. XXX is where the player name use to be. Do your best to make sound great, and ask here for suggestions if you need any.
Q. How will you deal with player references?
A. We will use gender-neutral surnames instead of the name you choose for your character. Example, Sparky may call the player (XXX) buddy, and challengers may call the player newbie, and other higher rank as the game progresses, just to name a few. There are a lot more things that can be said than just these.
Please avoid using "player", if you can.
Q. Do I need to own the game to help?
A. Nope! I can provide the lines you need to say. Just use the images linked with the character so you know what the character you are acting for looks like.
Q. Can we expand or improve the lines if they are too shallow?
A. In short, yes. You will have to use part of the original line though, and the majority will need to approve of the change. Note: You also have to keep within the game's targeted audience, so don't use any words you wouldn't hear them put in the game.
Q. When will this be released?
A. When we are done. There might be alpha & beta releases as the mod progresses on though.
Q. Can you keep me updated of progress?
A. Sorta. We have a completion list doc right here! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PZpHzQHTX33U31ePO4I18n-P5jxid7J-ZCTS_MshzX4/
