Mass Effect Voice Acting Thread

All the SAG-AFTRA faggots are on strike because they're a bunch of rich, spoiled crybaby bitches.

That means Bioware is looking for scabs to work as voice actors on their latest SJW video game monument.

Record the lines to the left, upload them to vocaroo.com, and post them for fellow Sup Forumsirgins so we can all have a good laugh.

Here is my reading:

Are you the same guy from the that came out of nowhere and did all the Lewd Elder scrolls lines?
Also nice voice cutie
Post Dick

The Dialogue is ok I guess. But I mean is it really that difficult to write a realistic conversation? Something so many games and even books and movies get horribly wrong.

>Are you the same guy from the that came out of nowhere and did all the Lewd Elder scrolls lines?

No, that's some other talented guy.

Thanks for the love, though!

You normally have to buy me a drink before we get into THAT. :3

Here is the other script.

It's passable dialogue, but it won't win any awards.

Paging all you shut-in NEET girls to do a reading for Mary from Silent Hill 2.

In my restless dreams,I see that town.

Silent Hill.

You promised me you'd take me there again someday.

But you never did.

Well, I'm alone there now...

In our 'special place'...

Waiting for you...

Why are Brits such masters of high-brow humor?

If they're SAG, they are.

>industrious talent undercutting union faggots
God, I love capitalism.

>Nolan North
>David Hayter
>Morgan Freeman

>These people are not rich.

Nigger do you even know what the SGA is?

I respect SAG for the protection it affords talent, but the union's demands have become ridiculous and insulting.

If you're SAG and have a good agent, you'll spend no more than 6 hours in the booth per day and make $412 an hour for one character.

That means a standard 8-hour workday is considered overtime, which translates to over $1000 a day for booth work.

And to think that these fucks still have the audacity to go on strike for residual payments on video game sales.

Where are the recording studios located? The impression I got was that both actors and voice actors spent a lot of their time travelling from place to place, be it for filming on location or recording at a specific studio.

I nominate Manveer "Poo in Loo" Heir to voice "Space Shitter Alien #42".

I praise shitskins like this actually. If you normalize hatred to this degree against whites you literally create the racists of the future. These people have been saying "racists are gonna die out" for the last forty years but dumb muds can't keep their power level in check so whitey just gets mad all over again.

*leans back*

Will do these when I get back home. Looks like fun.

Trump won because for possibly the first time in US history white people voted as a minority bloc for their candidate of choice.

And whites are now deflecting the word "racist" off them the same way every other race does. It's fucking amazing. The media propaganda has lost grip on the racial narrative entirely.

90% of booth and screen work is done in LA and NYC, which is why most SAG members live in one of those two cities.

Nevertheless, veteran SAG VAs have ISDN-equipped booths in their homes, so they can record remotely in real time if needed.

On the off-chance that an outfit like Ubisoft wants SAG talent in LA to record on site in, say, Chicago, transpo is usually in the contract.

>ISDN-equipped booths
So these voice actors have to have closets in their homes just for voice recording?

>veteran SAG VAs have ISDN-equipped booths in their homes, so they can record remotely in real time if needed.

Jesus, you're telling me these guys don't even have to leave the house to do their jobs?

your vocal fry is real bad don't try so hard to get so deep it comes off real amateurish because you can hear your vocal cords trying to settle into the fake voice and the beginning of a statement and you get voice cracks at the end. Also you can't naturally emote while you are putting on so much affectation

good if you didn't try so hard actually

If you're doing commercial work on the regular, you've got a studio in your home.

If you don't, you're at a severe disadvantage because you can't attract as many clients.

Acoustic foam and ISDN lines are the bread and butter of the VO world.

If it allows you to make a comfortable living, I think it would be a good investment.

>Know someone's who is pretty good at doing voices.
Maybe I should let her know of the gig

>you're telling me these guys don't even have to leave the house to do their jobs?

DING DING DING DING

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF SAG, WHERE GETTING $412 AN HOUR ON A UNION CONTRACT THAT YOU CAN PHONE IN IS "NOT ENOUGH"

>Jesus, you're telling me these guys don't even have to leave the house to do their jobs?
I think that depends how in demand you are. I know the Simpsons cast works from home now and still makes like a million an episode. God it still blows my mind a talent less comedian like Yeardley Smith stumbles on that role and is set for life and future lives of family. If she never got that role she would be doing casino comedy acts for 100$ a show. Also we were robbed more Hank Azaria movies since he doesn't have to work. That man is a literal comedic genius.

That's just where the entertainment industry is heading, it's pretty much winning the lottery nowadays where a handful out of a massive pool of equally talented people get set for life. RDJ makes 40 million per capeshit he appears in so you can kiss things like Tropic Thunder 2 goodbye.

bumping, about to record one

>armchair speech pathologist

u jelly

vocaroo.com/i/s19uACuJqnEb

I haven't had anything to drink so my voice probably sounds a little rocky. but I'm no pro so I just kinda went for it

Fuck it, may as well give it a shot, bump for luck

much luck brah

pls don't laugh i never recorded anything before and im not an English speaker first try recording from my phone quality is shit too

vocaroo.com/i/s0XeinYlPKOt

Your voice acting ain't bad, son.

Any tips or perhaps website recommendations you can offer me so I can improve my voice acting as well?

Still waiting for this.

You starlets need to cowboy up.

Threw this together just before class. He comes across as a bit pompous so I did it with a british accent, but I think that messed up my tone a bit

Nice work jensen.

I think this entire strike's royalties demand shit is retarded, but as long as Bioware suffers, I care not.
How's Insomniac?

vocaroo.com/i/s1yKJ5gmAkLa

kek. This was kind of fun. I read the OP script

>Your voice acting ain't bad, son.

Thanks, bro.

>Any tips

Contrary to popular belief, voice acting is harder than screen acting because you aren't going through the physical motions of a scene.

That means you are selling scenes by connecting the emotion and honesty in your voice with what is supposed to be happening.

Your type of voice will limit what roles you can do, but your raw acting ability is what enables you to do those roles well.

Any aspiring voice actors need to read "A Challenge for the Actor" by Uta Hagen for an overview of basic acting techniques.

99% of acting theory is pretentious bullshit, but that book is part of the 1% of what you need to know to start selling scenes.

I could write for days about theory and techniques, but it all boils down to balancing honesty with whatever emotion is required.

It always amazes me how voice actors forget that it's still acting.

You're all terrible. Always terrible. Especially you OP

This is what I'm talking about.

This guy is completely independent -- no SAG membership or anything.

You could put him in the game, and his conversation would sound like a regular NPC conversation.

This is why the SAG strike is stupid as fuck.

Good job.

Thank you.

I'll be getting this book soon.

I'm looking for VAs for my shitty indie game. Post your soundclouds.

Are you planning to sell your game?

Don't be one of those faggots who asks VAs to work for free but still plans to make a profit.

obviously you'd be compensated

I also forgot to tell you something important.

Stay away from Meisner.

He is responsible for every single pretentious arthouse phony in LA.

His books are a one-way ticket to Scientology-level brainwashing.

>on their latest SJW video game monument.

Their games are primarily shit because they are casual pandering bugridden EA shit. The SJW stuff is kept to a minimum for the most part.

>demanding voice actors get permanent residuals from every copy sold
>something not even developers get
These faggots are such pieces of shit. I hope they crack and the union dissolves as they start scurrying for work to pay for their dumb lifestyle

vocaroo.com/i/s11LeaqCOTxE

Noted.

>SAG dissolves

That will never happen, but you bet your ass that we're going to see more production assistants posting non-union casting calls on VA websites.

I could go to a few places online right now and have all roles cast for an AAA game by the close of business tomorrow.

Every one of my actors would work for a fraction of SAG rates, too, and their sound and acting quality would only a bit less polished that what I would get from talent in an agent's portfolio.

heh, this is fun

holy shit i can envision you as a fucking diabolical south african dictator that punishes his enemies by putting zebra blood on their dick and throwing them into a pit of lions.

Manly bad ass hero?

ayyy it fucking is him

This contest is already over. They said they'd inform the winner before the 30th of November. Unless there was a change I didn't hear about.

FUCK YOU, BIOWARE

FUCK YOU, SAG

Sup Forums JUST MADE YOUR WHOLE FUCKING SCENE FOR FREE

IT WOULD HAVE COST YOU FUCKS $800 TO DO THIS

vocaroo.com/i/s06LUpHI25Qq

Grunt?

omg i love this one

fuck, This would sound so much better if I had a clearer mic

still lol'd though

>MUH RHODESIA

I wanted to go for this but I realized if I was good enough to do it and was chosen as the winner, i'd never have a chance of actually persuing a career in it because the Union would blacklist me.

I scrubbed your audio a bit, but I just imagined your character as an alien with some kind of head apparatus that makes him sound remote.

Great effort on your part, though.

I can't believe a few guys on Sup Forums can produce shit that sounds better than big budget AAA studios.

nice redditfrog

Use an alias bruv.

I'm thinking of something like Timothy Scarborough or Timothy MacDonald.

still 10/10 tho

Did you force your grandpa to read the lines?

why don't you go dub an anime you man of androgynous asian background

>Worried accuses Tough of splitting the take unevenly
>Tough validates that the take is, in fact, 50/50
>Worried then tries to say they agreed on something else because of his family
>Tough has to use an argument that was literally just used against him

Tough Mercenary had a hard life

DUDE KILL WHITEY LMAO

shoulda said 50 slash 50 lad

I wish I did, but he's dead.

SAG-AFTRA is only 4% of main voice actors in the game industry.

Does that mean I did good?

-KL

Seriously though my dude, your voice is great

52% of booth work in the game industry is in Seattle and Redmond.

Sup manly. You got a good channel m8
