Fluffy Cupcake Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 That's right peeps, a mod for LR2 that makes NPCs talk without the need of subtitles to understand! A test I did just to see how it would work out can be found here.People working on this mod:(ordered by when members joined project) Xiron JimbobJeffers le717 Rioforce (le's bro) Quisoves Pugnat (QP) McJobless Ben24x7 ShadowBlaze Oboe Shoes (OS) Ayliffe kajeuter Nintaga (Xiron's Sister)* Captain Kiwi (Nintaga's Friend)* Chonsy* Asterix means the person is from outside RRU. 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. ) Reveal hidden contents Sandy Bay Character Number of Lines Voice Actor Workman Fred 11 Ben24x7 or kajeuter Mike the Postman 8 Quisoves Pugnat Fireman Gavin 11 McJobless P.C.

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/ kajeuter, Quisoves Potoo, bradleybrand and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le717 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Tentatively requesting to voice Sam Sainister. I will get a voice sample up (I need a song line, Xiron). I can do some... interesting villain voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do this one I guess: Reveal hidden contents You may have beaten those poor fools, but I think you will find me much harder to beat! Also, remember, lines can be found in full in the LEGO STRINGS.TXT file in TEXT folder, provided you know their lines (looking at the dialogue part of the script for the scene can help you find it).

Which reminds me, now I remembered what I forgot to add to the OP, a Q and A section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quisoves Potoo Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I would be interested in vying for Sam Sinister (should I do same line as le717?) Additionally, I would also be up for voicing Slyboots, Doctor Kilroy (is he actually in-game? I can't remember him being there,) Mike the Postman, Captain Geoff., Rigel, and the Martian Scientist. I like the sound of this project (no pun necessarily intended ) and look forward to seeing how it turns out. Hopefully, one day we will all look back and think: "Thanks to Xiron, 'crummy crummy soda' is a thing of the past." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McJobless Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Here's my terrible attempts. I feel the one for Steve/Cosmos could apply for either, only difference is the lines. I improved all the lines really lazily since I've got other things to work on atm. I would certainly love to do at least one boss, Johnny Thunder and a minor character, but its upto you guys. I'll fill in whatever you need. Fluffy Cupcake and Oboe Shoes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Killroy is there, I rushed him, Pippin, and Johnny on the list because le told me they were missing, and I was about to head out soon. Heh, yeah. Hopefully.

For sure I did like your Thunder voice over Rio's. The Berg voice wasn't entirely what I had in mind, try to aim closer to the voice clips (which, thankfully are Berg exclusive), if you can. The current voice will do though if you can't and no one else does him. And yeah, the Steve/Cosmo voice could apply for either. Are all "attempts" that were successful, ones you are claiming?

Ben24x7 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 May I request to voice Scientist (Mars), Ben (Sandy Bay), and Workman Fred (also Sandy Bay). Sorry, I just needed to update this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Cupcake Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Of course you may. I started updating the list and making it more organized (only got Sandy Bay done). Line count now included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try again soon and see if I can present something clear, since I had a little bit of fun working with the accent I made for him.

Jimbob Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Jimbob Jeffers here, ready to lend a British (and as posh or cockney as I can make it, where required) accent wherever it's wanted! I could possibly do P.C. Bobby, any of the generic Sandy Bay characters and... You know what? Just write my name in wherever you want to. I'll do my best to voice it. Just make sure they speak English, I don't fancy voicing the aliens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowblaze Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I could help you with mastering all the voice samples, if you want. Also, I can do some attempt at modulating the voice in some recordings to get more timbres and so reducing the repetitiveness of having just a few voice actors.

Ben24x7 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 *Quickly adds to post* Sorry, I just noticed that I had been marked for Two out of Three. Also, when you listen to my voice, expect an odd Scottish accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a new mic (which isn't QUITE studio quality, but better than any laptop mic), so I'd love to try it out. Put me down for the Male character, and maybe Rocket Racer. I'll put up samples ASAP.

I was thinking of using the "Noise Removal" filter on Audacity to help reduce background noise, but if you know of anything better, be my guest at mastering them!

I think player is one thing I will not make people 'compete' for. Due to the different amount of ways someone can make their player look, the more variety to choose from for the player the better. I am completely fine with making separate downloads for the different player voices (I would of anyway even if there was just one male and female voice anyway).

Or do both and start rumours they're related...
