Russians on this board, Read here, I need your help!
« on: October 14, 2007, 01:26:32 AM »
I have been looking around for voice actors for a little bit, and my main source has failed me. If any of you could help out, or have some friends, or some message boards with people, anything, that could help out, please reply to this thread. The team would greatly appreciate it, thank you!

she  could be useful for the person that says "We're under attack" etc. If thats changed, could use a russian accent.

Probably for unit voices. Now i think about it a women might be useful because the Russians did have women fighters. I read about one group who would hide and shoot the Germans in the back, maybe voice for Partisans or Snipers?

Hi there!
Im russian and my english is pretty good also
I have some nice mic and skills with audio software (not professional-grade equipment though, but it allows to produce decent sound)
I can help you with recording some voice samples (male voices, since im not a woman)
For instance, something along the lines of "Hey polar bear, come get some vodka!" "For Russia, for Stalin!" "Eat that, you nazi bitch!"
Feel free to contact me) Person who is in charge of this particular assignments, please provide your email adress (or, better, ICQ) so we can discuss details (voice script, end result, format and number of files etc) You can also use email from my profile (visible for board administrators, please dont publish it openly anywhere)

Ok here is some samples i made with external mic i guess main prob is to provide certain consistency in the general sound, so someone from you has to re-master, expand and de-noise bunch of samples.
One of samples shows more deep voice suitable for ingame announcements, others imitate combat radio (unit voices) so they kinda washed-out and distorted, unfortunately i couldnt record famous "hoorah, chaarge!" now for various reasons, maybe later), post-edit includes various cleanup, envelope (to clean sample ends and emphasize certain words in phrases), pan\expand, equalizing (2 presets), still noise is noticable in certain conditions, i can think of various methods how to improve this.
Actually i tried to make it sound as if record was made by some non-russian talent (you know, stereotypical russian like "foolish amerrikaner, lets kill him my komrades") dunno if this is something you can sense) enjoy)

"Just use  Russian accents, you wanna be able to know what they are saying." Acknowledged
But you know, soldiers in CoD2 etc actually speak their native languages and thats what looks cool) Ok anyway you decide such things, i can record both languages)

More simple orders etc. would be best in English, but soem things, like curses etc. would probably sound good in Russian. Go to the Dev section > Projects > Others, we have a list of stuff to say. Try them.
