Job Position: Voice Actor (Vacancies: up to 4)

Staff Level: Contributor

Job Description: Providing voice sound effects for units in UEaW V1 - primarily New Republic starships, but with scope for you to donate voices to any other faction in addition.

Applicant Requirements: No previous VA experience is required necessarily, though it is always a bonus. Additionally, applicants ought to have:

A microphone.... You will obviously need to be able to record your voice(!), but it must be of a reasonable quality. Whilst our lead VA and sound department are more specific about their requirements, for initial application I would only require that you make sure that recordings of your voice are clear and not 'fuzzy'.
A reasonable voice, some imagination and the motivation to use it. Our voice acting needs to be serious and plausible, but if you can do a convincing variety, we're not going to stop you. You'll be free to try out whatever you like so long as you meet the assigned work, but we do need serious voices for our naval officers!
Availability and willingness to frequently log into either Windows Live Messenger or Skype.

The Benefits of this position:

Early access and priority selection for late-stage beta-testing of V1 (Contributor status).
The ability to order a squadron of starfighters to swoop into action, and have the squadron leader reply in your voice. And then you point and go 'that's me!' as they engage in an epic struggle to fight the Sith/destroy the Rebel scum/scrap some clankers/mince some clones.

Oh dear, am I really the first one?

First of all: Hi, I'm new at the forum and have been watching this mod for quite a long time, but I didn't know how to help you except of doing some research and brainstorming work, but unfortunalety that isn't a position ^^. I tried to mod a little bit for EaW, doing some unit writing stuff, but such things were never my abbilities.
I got some experience with mods, mostly for Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy, especially for Mapping, Skinning and the creativity parts. So. Why do I write this? Because I want to help of course! And I want to be a part of it. It would be cooler of course to speak a Storm- or a Clonetrooper, but who cares, fighterpilotes are still awesome.
I have skype and a good (I think) working microphone + audacity, which I think is enough. By the way I'm 17 years old and from Germany, but I think I'm able to speak clear, loud and serious. I've done this before a few times for fun-videos with Jedi Academy. And if there's need of ideas, what the persons could say, I would gladly help.

Okay, enough for now.

Good luck and have fun!
Rag'ika

Edit: Oh, I'm sorry, just read that now.
So, here are my contacts: ICQ: 199957898, Skype: raagee1
What could I bring to the team except of my modding skills? Hm, a good question. I like to work with other peoples and discuss problems and ideas with them and I think I'm a person which you can talk to. Except from this I got many (50 or something) SW books, games, of course the movies and stuff, so it's not like I don't know anything about SW.

Hey Ragika, thanks for your application. Could you please do the following things:

1. Provide an email and an IM for us so we can contact you directly (as per Application guidelines

2. Send us, or upload in a zip/rar a sample of you doing a few voices? Clones, stormtroopers, pilots, naval officers, whatever you like.

If you also have skinning experience, by the way, that is always a valuable asset to the mod even if we're not currently recruiting skinners now, and we'd be happy to see some of your work for Jedi Academy too!

Hey, sorry that it has taken a while

Alright, so I'm gonna send you an e-mail with some sounds (8 I think) of me!

I'm glad to hear that. I got some experiences in doing texture-editing and working with Photoshop or GIMP. Here are some screens of my maps and stormtrooper skins.

Thanks, I'm just opening the email now, and will forward on the samples to our lead VA and Head of Sound. I added you on Skype yesterday but am awaiting confirmation of my contact add from you?

Go for it - record some lines that you imagine a naval officer or stormtrooper etc. saying, put them in a zip or rar file and attach them to a reply, or send them to me in an email.

M Doyle · « **Reply #7 on:** June 25, 2011, 11:31 pm »

hey guys.

Well i can always lend a hand. I have a deep voice, a British (London/Essex) accent, a Skype and a reasonable mic.

I don't have any experiance voice acting but i do in beta testing and mapping on the FOC map maker, but i'll still offer my voice if you need one.

If you need me just message me and i'll be there, or there with in a day or so.

if you need voice samples you'll need to tell me how... as i have no experience with the like.

Sergeant Lyeman · « **Reply #8 on:** June 29, 2011, 01:47 am »

Voice samples are required for consideration. This is so we can determine the quality of your mic. The easiest way I know to record a sample is to go to Accessories> Sound Recorder. Please record a few lines and send them off to the head of the VA department. And please- explain in your email that you're interested in the position, so he knows what he's opening.

Darth_Bob · « **Reply #9 on:** July 19, 2011, 03:50 pm »

If you are still in need of voice actors then I would be glad to lend a hand to this absolutely remarkable mod. What you have done so far is amazing and will make modding history once released. I will do some recordings of my voice later and zip them through to your email address. Is there any particular ships or units I need to work on within the New Republic? Or should i just do general voices of "Yes sir?" and "Roger that, moving out?"

Thank you for all you have done, and good luck finishing the mod

My email address is Caboosejuice95@hotmail.com
Or inbox me on facebook seen as it is linked with my phone so i can contact you whenever you need:

Thank you for the kind words. For the voice samples, you can record whatever you'd like. If hired, you'll most likely be handling a particular faction's commander.

Yours,

I'm not really sure what you still need. I know I have the skills to be a developer assistant, but I might try to be a voice actor if you guys don't get the spots filled.

Hi, all. Graham Florida here, a long fan of the mod, finally buckled down to make a forum account. o.O
I'll be applying for a VA position, you can reach my skype username Floridiais
AIM: Link1800bc

A decent quality mic with more audio-editing software than necessary.

Here's some samples with generic RTS responses. My Skype name is Right Wing Gamer, contact me if I get the job. I'd love to be a part of this mod.

Sergeant Lyeman · « **Reply #14 on:** August 10, 2011, 06:43 am »

Thank you all for the interest, you'll be contacted sometime soon if we can use you. (It's not up to me, and the staff has been busy lately.)

I'm sorry if this counts as reviving dead topics, but I wasn't sure where else to post my voice samples.
I did mostly navy samples as that is V1(Particularly the I-7 Howlrunner, as it is my favourite fighter and I'd love to voice it)
Also if you are still looking for a Daala/Isard/any other female hero I might know someone who can do it.
I can be reached via Email at koboldlord94@yahoo.ca

We do require VAs quite urgently, so will be glad to take on anyone who offers, provided their sound quality is up to standard.

Unfortunately, I am unable to decrypt your sample file, when I attempt to do so, winrar reports that the file is damaged or in an unknown format and cannot be extracted.

I've changed the way the files were zipped. Let me know it this helps!

Sounding pretty good to me, compared to previous applications, anyway. My ear isn't trained for such things, however, so I'll still have to get Doozer to have a listen.

I should note that, in something unique as far as I know in eaw mods, the sound plan for V1 indicates that VAs take on the role of an admiral or flag officer advising the player (the overall commander) of the progression of the battle - id est instead of screams from captains on ships saying 'We've lost our shields!', the advisor-admiral reports 'One of your frigates has lost her shield generator', and things such as 'Light Cruiser lost', 'Your carrier's engines are inoperational' et cetera.

The only exception, and I'm sure you'll be glad to hear, is that when they report about starfighter squadrons ('engage order transmitted', 'bombing run assigned' et cetera), there will be a bit of 'overflow' from the intercom in the background, with the squadron leader's chatter reporting to your advisers perhaps spilling over.

Holy crap! What a brilliant idea!

Thanks for the high honor and praise you gave my application as well!
