Calling All (Wanna-be) Voice Actors

Community Content
#1

Hi All,

One of the things that grates on me (as a GM) over the years is the fact that all my NPCs sound like the same person - me! This has become even more pronounced as I record NPC speech bubbles for Syrinscape for my games.

I’m sure you have this problem too!

So what I am proposing is that we use this thread as a “register” of those that would like to read and record some NPC “scripts” for others, with the idea that others will do the same for us.

We should use the following template:

Name - Gender - Age Band - Accent - Recording Facilities - Notes

So, let’s get together and build a list of different “voice actors” that we can all share with each other.

To get the ball rolling I’ll use myself as a volunteer:

Dulux-Oz - Male, Mature (late 40’s), Australian Accent, Amateur Sound Recording Facilities (PC, Headphone Mic, No Soundproof Room but Quite Room) - Check out my YouTube Videos for samples of what I sound like and the quality of my recordings.

Name: Matteo
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Accent: I’m Italian so I can totally do our weird english-speaking accent but I can also speak without one. Also I enjoy to tie certain NPCs to some Italian accents and I could do that while speaking English too (to get a rude, Tuscanian farmer for example).
Recording Facilities: PC and headset mic, no soundproof room but I can get a quite one for sure.
Also I LOVE doing goblin voices if that’s something needed. Madmen are fine too.

Robyn (Rem or Remedeez)
Female
Early 30s
Standard non-regional American accent (I can do Southern American, Valley (West) American, childlike voices, and I am practicing others including various British English and other European accents)
High Quality Samson Condenser mic with pop filter, no soundproof room, but capable of removing background noise myself or sending raw unfiltered audio to users who prefer to do their own editing
For my generic, regular speaking voice you could watch my very very very old streams or YouTube videos (http://twitch.tv/remedeez or http://youtube.com/RemPlaysGames)

Notes: I’m not a professional but I did extensive theater in high school and college, and I have hosted and guest hosted on several podcasts across a span of about 5 years

I’m an amateur voice talent who is seeking to put more of his foot into the industry’s door. At the moment, my craft is mostly spent on being a DM and roleplaying in VR. I’m currently working on a proper voice reel.

I’m still interested in doing some voice work.
I’m reliable and I’m good at what I do.

You won’t be disappointed. :^ )
