Very nice.
Sounds like a twisted sketch you'd see on Little Britain.

I have been waiting for so long for someone to show up and post this in one of these threads. Thanks for legitimizing it, man.

Save this link, then: pastebin.com/ZmqZiPeW
And you wont' have to wait. Everything else in there was from my crazy attempt to make this a permanent part of /co

I wholeheartedly agree that this should become a new general. Voice acting is usually just as important as writing. We can crossover with the webcomics general too.

I am totally with you, however, if you feel like trying that, wait for the new school year to begin. We've been so slow in FSA on /soc since may.

There are plenty of people on here who will be spending all of at their computers this summer that we can survive on.
Maybe we'd net a bigger following if I had the sense to stop making these threads at the same time North America goes to bed.

i want to do some so much but people are home

It's cool, bro. It's the thought that counts

I have a Yeti, a closet-turned-recording-booth, and a Four Loko. What am I saying for you dudes/dudettes/Multi-Souled Pansexual Blind Vegan Muslims?

Sing for us, O actually prepared one.

Oh shit, what am I singin'?

The Tony's were a few hours ago. Maybe something quick from your favorite musical?

No backing track unfortunately.

vocaroo.com/i/s1oEBnTDH4s2

Did not expect any Repo! tonight. Nice choice. And nice job!

Thanks! Yeah, back in high school we made a 12-song cut of Repo! as a one-act for a theatre festival; it got me pretty into the movie (and also I played Nathan Wallace for it). Good times.

I was selling a few of my old Blu-Rays recently and I couldn't bring myself to get rid of Repo. I think part of me thought I was probably the only person in the world who actually bought it, and therefore it must be cherished.

The cast alone is enough reason to keep it around. Paris Hilton's face falling off? Paul Sorvino as a singing mob boss who sounds like the Cowardly Lion sometimes? Alexa Vega side boob? C'mon. That's a keeper.

thanks for putting this up

ill be able to do some in the morning, hopefully it doesnt die by then

bump

kek
really clean audio quality and reading of it, i imagine it took a few tries to get through it without cracking up?

repo is one of my favs too
some of your notes were a bit shorter and slightly off but overall pretty good and that laugh was great

keep at it you fine gentlemen

Thanks I have a pop filter and a good mic and it only took one try. I don't have much rang tbqh but I'm at least good at the presentation I gave.

Trying to add a bit more emotion to my takes.

Lol very pleasant voice.

honestly i think the straightfacedness works well with comedy
maybe try a differet genre

nah nigga

bump

vocaroo.com/i/s0U3X6e6Vumy

c&c appriciated

You have a very nice voice. I'd love to hear something hard-boiled and with more acting.

DOOM will destroy those responsible for this indignity! Doom will not rest until he has his vengeance! Doom will not be confined! He will escape this minuscule prison, and reign death and destruction on the everyone responsible! Not even the nail-makers, or the sowers of the seeds that grew into the trees that were mercilessly chopped down to construct this shoddy container will be spared! When the dust settles and the ash clears, Doom will have repopulated the rain forests out of the compost of the dead! In Latveria, it is said, "Blessed are the boxmakers, for they will make the boxes that will store the wealth of the future!" Under Doom's leadership, Latveria has many boxmakers, and they have made many boxes, and the wealth of the future is shiny, indeed. And none--not those responsible for this ignominy, not those who profit off my so-called defeat, not those in the ivory tower who expelled Doom when his project to rescue his mother from the void of hell itself was sabotaged and exploded, not the terrible RICHARDS--NONE shall have access to the profit of our future! None will have access, and none will shepherd Latveria into a new age, a DOOM age! For when Doom pries himself free of this shoddily constructed containment, I shall double, and RE-DOUBLE, my efforts to take down the vile RICHARDS, and all who support him, provide succor to him, and all who bow in reverence to his name! RICHARDS SHALL FALL! And it shall be DOOM WHO MAKES HIM FALL! ALL SHALL RISE IN CLAMOR FOR DOOM! AND DOOM SHALL DEFEAT RICHARDS AND LEAVE HIM A BROKEN AND SCARRED SHELL OF A MAN, AND HE SHALL RECOGNIZE DOOM AS HIS SUPERIOR AND THE WORLD SHALL BOW BEFORE DOOM! ALL SHALL BOW BEFORE DOOM! AND ALL WHO OPPOSE DOOM SHALL HAVE NO RECOURSE BUT VAPID AND IMPOTENT PRAYER! FOR THEY SHALL CALL UPON A GOD NOT THERE, A GOD NOT LISTENING, AND THE ONLY GOD THAT SHALL HEAR THEIR PITIFUL CRIES SHALL BE DOOM! AND DOOM WILL STAND BEFORE THEM! AND DOOM WILL TURN AWAY FROM THEIR CRIES FOR MERCY!

Is this a request? I'll do it man.

do it

The reason this thread is here is so people can record stuff. So do it.

I was just posting some content to promote recordings. So do it.

These threads are nothing without audio content, So do it.

Here's more content

any requests? short and simple please

Okay guys, here it is. I've never actually attempted anything like this before, and as such, I have neither the tools nor the talent to pull this off well (and fuck, I'm talking like Doom now). Is there any sound recording software/technology out there that can make my shitty voice acting sound somewhat passable? All I have to go by at the moment are are Audacity and a crappy in-built computer microphone.
vocaroo.com/i/s0PiPdvWID3n

Holy fuck, does Vocaroo always mess with audio quality like that? I swear it definitely didn't sound like that when I exported it.

vocaroo.com/i/s16axjherRxt

Took a crack at this one
vocaroo.com/i/s0sPchJBiLOx

>vocaroo.com/i/s0sPchJBiLOx
Hahahahahahahahah
Fuck, got any more stuff user?

Vocaroo is mono and simple and free but mono

1. Get Audacity from Soundforge so you can record and edit on your PC
2. Get an account on an audio hosting site with better sound quality. Chirbit and Soundgasm and even others, since this is SFW stuff mostly.
3. Upload to your audio site and post link
4. Everybody is happy.

Okay, thanks a lot user.

...

trying out a jenny impression I guess
vocaroo.com/i/s1nkXkqCjv1r

>vocaroo.com/i/s1oEBnTDH4s2
This was absolutely delightful, regardless of no backing track. Thank you kind user

I thought I'd sing something for you guys but I cant think of anything to sing for you. (Any acting I attempt is pretty cringey.)

Don't get Audacity, get Reaper.

No need for a console argument here. Reaper if you're comfy with cracked eval copies, Audacity if you want freeware.

This was mad cute!

...

And one for the ladies...

And some rap battle.

I enjoy reading crappy short stories sometimes.

You have a very nice voice! And that was funny, in a dad-joke kind of way.

Here's a topical myth for /co

Cartoons 1980-89

And the Bears of Gummi Glen found that their berries had been stolen. They cried out to the Heavens, asking "Who, who had done this thing?" And in that moment, the Heavens trembled, for they did not know.

Optimus and Brite, the Great Ones, both looked down, and did not know, but proclaimed that they would find the thief. So the Mighty Warrior and the Queen of Light searched across the Heavens, but they did not find the thief. The other gods turned to Papa Smurf, but the Wise One did not know.

From the Snorks of the Deepest Waters, to the Hawks of Thunder, Protectors of the Stars, all searched out the thief of the Gummi Berries, for lo, all knew that the berries could be the Undoing of All.

But the thief was not found, for the thief was the Pieman, pitiful and small. And he labored under his Peak, knowing that he would not be found, and the strife that he had created would be his cloak.

And so it was. For the Joes proclaimed that the Forces of the Snake had stolen the berries, and must be destroyed. And the Companions of Ruxpin cried, "No, it was the MAVO who stole the berries! We must slay the MAVO!" And the Twins, Man and Ra, Power and Honor, spoke from their pride and their lust for vengeance, and said that the Horde must be at the root of the theft. And the Heavens grew dark, and Optimus and Brite held their piece, awaiting the end to the strife, reluctant to intervene as the sought the truth.

And all the while, beneath his Peak, the Pieman baked...

how do i into boston accent
vocaroo.com/i/s09kYSc4PJ9k

an attempt was made
vocaroo.com/i/s1CwGQLZy61g

>vocaroo.com/i/s09kYSc4PJ9k
It's really irrelevant. Arlene Sorkin's voice sort of defined Harley, and she was brooklyn NY.by way of years of VA experience. I'm a transplanted New Englander, and alls I know is you either do the Car Talk guys or Donni Wahlberg and stop pronouncing 'r's at the end of words.

fucking golden
more please

this is really close and cute

Seconding that was pretty solid haha

I'm looking to get into VA because I was a stage actor but my disability makes it too hard to stage act. I've been getting into old radio plays and stuff and learning about the legends of radio, and I really feel at home. I really hope I get to meet cool people.

Since you guys dig impressions (I guess. I don't want to do impressions, I want to voice act), here's Harley (Sorkin Harley) as Dr Quinzel since I have a similar voice:

vocaroo.com/i/s0dDDW2latKL

I need to invest in a better mic.

vocaroo.com/i/s1DRDrcTE41o

this is a tough voice. You need to put your throat in such a weird place.

Got my phone mic to sound OK, here's more in better quality:

vocaroo.com/i/s114mzVXAVLQ
vocaroo.com/i/s1vdOvVksxaU

I haven't sunk much into this impression yet. I'm just kind of skating by on a mild passing resemblance. I'm hoping I can improve it. Thoughts?

I feel like people try to do Harley by doing an Italian NY accent, when it's really more of a mix of Jewish and Irish NY accents, which is also more what mine is.

i also can't yell and emote properly like i'd like to bc paper thin walls

Dumb a cappella cover of that song from "The Dress" from TAWOG. Made this last year. Excuse my annoying voice.

vocaroo.com/i/s1BWeUaveW1e

these are pretty great
what disability do you have? if i may ask

how long did it take to do this?
also good job

It took me about 10 minutes, I think, and thanks.

sang friend like me (but got interrupted)

I tried

Hope you guys enjoy.

>wanting a general

The character limit per individual post will not allow me to express my feelings with all the curse words I would make use of, and those that I would even create to convey my truest opinion of what you have just said.

Instead, have this picture of Mandy.

think you posted the wrong link there buddy

So I thought I'd give it a shot. Had to keep it low though, it's 1:45 and people are sleeping.

Criticism welcomed.

vocaroo.com/i/s1hD2jmtgPsF

whoops
clyp.it/v0voabv2

You don't have to crack reaper, they never take away anything when you're past the trial.

That said, I'm not really trying to start a war, and audacity has improved a lot since I last used it from what I've seen.

Something I made for Sup Forums during a Mighty Number 9 thread.

vocaroo.com/i/s1N0bmIeVXpT

Didn't know that about Reaper. I'll give it a look. But the a main advantage of Audacity is all the tutorials and support stuff on the soundforge site and YouTube. Good for setting newbies out on their own and not having to tech shit for them. Been using it on FSA for years.

If you can afford it, by all means get the best stuff you can get. But if you can't afford anything...freeware rules, that's all.

Thanks for the civil response.

holy crap... that was really impressive

Thanks!

Nice

Thanks a banana bunch, user! I do like my corny dad-joke type things.

This is also up my alley because I'm older, but I have no idea what MAVO is. Can someone explain? I feel like a goob asking.

Sadly, I'm old too and I just plucked that out FSA's shenanigans file. I to have one I found on FaceBook that also might be up your alley.

Purina Diet

So I'm at Wal-Mart buying a bag of Purina dog food for my dog. While in the check-out line, a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. Why else would I be buying dog food, RIGHT??? So on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again, and that I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a Perfect Diet and all you do is load your pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff a poodle's butt and a car hit me. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. Better watch what you ask me and be prepared for my answer. I have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say.

But that's not very /co, so have a boy-girl twosome that IS board-relevant

Vicki Vader Speaks

“Darth, I’m not trying to be critical. I’m really not. I’m just suggesting that things might have been different if you had spent the money you devoted to the Death Star on economic development in colonized planets or on Storm Trooper pensions. Have you seen how inaccurate their shots have been lately? I’m not saying it’s sabotage. I’m not even sure it was a conscious decision. But I am saying that the Death Star was a blow to their morale before it ever blew up.”

— Vicki Vader, Darth’s ever-pragmatic wife

Clayface:

"I want to be an actor. That's what I always told myself. To become a different character each night. And go back to being who I was by day. I guess I got my wish - only there's no going back. I chose the stage name Basil Karlo, hoping people would remember it. Sure, it's corny, but it's also catchy. Apparently, Clayface is catchier. You won't find it engraved on this street, though. Hollywood turned its back on me when I became a real monster. You have no idea the rage that builds inside me when I think of what could have been. My life could have resembled the stars whose handprints line this street. Rather than the cold clay they've been placed in."

From Joker's Asylum.

What the fuck are you people on about?

She's a performer you can listen to hereWho I am giving feedback and posting requests for before asking her to consider my main thread when she wants to walk on the wild side. If I do. What are YOU doing here?

...

I'm working on a voice for a character I'm doing based on the X-TREEM gaming culture of the 90s along with 90s sci fi in general. I'm wanting to give him a voice with the appropriate amount of obnoxiousness and edge but not something inherently grating or annoying to listen to. Here's a sample of one of his 90s as hell catch phrases, I'm not very confident in my voicing abilities so any constructive input is appreciated.
vocaroo.com/i/s0F8v1i83OF3

I don't know, but I feel like all those 90's extreme guys sounded like more literate WWF Wrestlers.

I was going for something more like a less abrasive Johnny Arcade. More of a game show host than cereal commercial but I know what you mean.
youtube.com/watch?v=R_hDEP0dtLo

Jesus Christ, this is still alive?
I am a proud as fuck OP. Thanks, guys!

No problem man.

well, as long as i can pull off a good harley in the that case

whatd you use?

yeah good to see more people come out and participate/practice

Well, I've been sort of bumping it all day. You have to do that, you know. For the first couple of months, anyway. Once you've built a foothold and gathered the corps--by which I mean performers and loyal fans--you're set. You need an ultra-thick skin for when the /co extremists show up. Babymods all, they will shit all over you. It would be good to select a name and stick with it Concentrate on the Voice Acting angle rather than vocaroo, for the true amateurs and the pros who will show up eventually use better services.

Blue Snowball for my mic, and Audacity for the program used to record

many thanks friend

vocaroo.com/i/s1STB1YwBRMW

No problem

Really digging that, actually. She always had a really unique voice, and you captured it pretty well.

spastic diplegia. the mildest case ever diagnosed. Any comments on the voice, though? Right now I'm just sort of floating along on the fact that I have the same accent (Which is crazy lucky, because it's a super rare accent)

You're not wrong about having the accent. You could probably fool someone with these. You get delivery right without going too high pitched. Nice job. I'm surprised a fan show hasn't already tried to recruit you to voice her.

vocaroo.com/i/s0ZaXuHC1ha0

Well, there's a problem: There's something wrong with my throat, so I can't talk for very long and doing the voices I used to be able to do is very hard. A doctor in South Korea invented a surgery that might fix it a few years ago, provided I keep my voice and there are no horrible accidents. It's unique compared to other surgeries in that it's incision-free. He managed to invent a way to do it using only sutures and fusing, so the risk of voice loss is minimal. If it does fix it, the voice won't sound so forced anymore and I'll be able to actually emote and the impression itself will probably get orders of magnitude better. I'm currently saving up the cash to go do it and get my old singing/acting voice back.
