Thread: Speech Crafters of Middle-Earth

    Default Re: Speech Crafters of Middle-Earth

    Sooo... My computer goes down for a month and it takes me three times as long to find this thread again. Anyhow...

    So am I to assume this project is now defunct? I am currently working on another sound mod, namely music, but I still think either a speech or unit voice mod would be really cool. However, seeing as how this thread got loaded with many off-subject posts, I'm unsure as to how feasible this project is, seeing as how almost every one has an opinion on how it should be. Anyway, if anyone is still serious about a voice sub mod, let me know. If you are not interested in doing this mod and are instead interested in just giving us your opinion, please keep your two cents. We neither want it nor need it. Thank you.

    P.S. I did send some voice recordings of mine out, but I got no response. Anybody receive those?

    P.P.S. In other news my vocals were used to voice a character called Andamir in a Knights of the Old Republic mod. If anyone out there would like to hear what I sound like, have a look.

    As this thread had faded into the mist long before I registered here, I was unaware of this sub-mod. However, if any are interested in reviving it, I'll help in whatever way I can! As much as I enjoy TATW, some of the accents left over from MIITW spoil the atmosphere somewhat (just my personal opinion of course).

    Again, this is just my personal preference, but I think the smaller voice files should be looked at first. Not all of us listen to the pre-battle speeches more than once (if at all), and for obvious reasons it's the pre-battle speeches which will take the longest time to accomplish.

    Agreed. One thing is for sure, the dwarf diplomat should not say "representing scotland." To cut down on our workload, I will see what I can do about a past suggestion. (using voices from Battle for Middle Earth) Obviously those voiceovers will only cover a few units, so more voice over stuff will need to be done, but it will be nice not to have to record 'every' unit, seeing as how more and more keep coming. Anyway, I can work on a to-be-accomplished list if people are still interested.

    Nice. But no, as far as music mod goes I was going to add music for each factions, much of it coming from the Lord of the Rings movies, using themes from other games as well as the good old original music for certain teams as well. (Northman music being exclusively for Eriador and so on) Nice music though.

    Aye I agree to that. I'd like to be of some help to the team if I may. Just let me know what I can aid with. I've been looking for something like this for ages. I'm glad I found this thread.

    Alright, I'll get to work on a to-do list. Some of the voices, like those of a lot of the Gondor units, are rather well done and don't need to be messed with, but for sure some other teams need voice overs too. Here's a good question: should we also do voice overs for the generals / army movements as well?

    Absolutely. I'm hoping pre-battle speech can be altered too. I want to here elven voices and dwarf voices sounding different.

    Ok, very cool. We'll start there while I work on the to-do list. (There are actually quite a lot of voices to do over) Quick question, is anyone going to be able to add these voices to the game, or will I need to do that? I don't really know how to add voice overs as of yet, so if I don't have any volunteers does anyone know of a kind of guide that will tell me how?

    This could be of some help: How To Play TATW With Your Own Music

    The voices are in the IDX files. They just need to be replaced. We get the sounds together then we can ask Baron Samedi to help put it together.

    Yes, I already know about that particular guide. (That's where I got the info for the music mod I am working on) Oh well, I'll figure something out.

    When I saw this thread I just had to register to the forum.
    This is the chance to combine two of my favourite things: LoTR and voice-acting
    If the mod is still in need of voice actors, I'll be able to do voices for elves, men and nasty orcses.

    Great, Elves are in need of major revamp. You could start there, perhaps and upload some samples.

    Default Re: Speech Crafters of Middle-Earth

    Aye, very useful.

    So yes, I would like to start with the elf team, focusing on the campaign map voices, just for starters. One thing is for sure, elves would not say "I tried whipping them, them men are spent." Anyway, what we need now is stuff they should say. To my knowledge it is not possible to make certain generals say certain things, (meaning I can't make Elrond sound like Elrond) but what we need to do now is to create a good script list. Here's all the people who need voice overs most of all for the elf team. (Please feel free to add something if I missed someone)

    Generals / captains: Responses to selection by player, ally, or enemy. Move responses. Attack exclamations, retreat exclamations.

    Scouts: Response to selection. Move response. Spy response. (They are scouts, not spies, so they should sound like it)

    Fleets: Same as with generals

    Diplomats: The usual selection thing, but with a plethora of responses to diplomatic actions. (Not a very high priority, but it would be cool)

    Anyhow, we can start there and move on teams like the dwarves and the orcs.

    By the way, how many people do I got interested in voice acting? A list of names would be good, so if you are go ahead and send me a message.

    Daradain, I'd have a go at some of the voice acting if you're short on numbers, but unfortunately, my mic is pretty crappy. I may however, be able to borrow a better one from a mate if you need a bit more variety.

    As for the script list, I'll start jotting down a few ideas asap!

    Maybe you could try to get someone who knows some quenya to make up sentences for the elves.. Now, that would add to the immersion!

    Now thats the kind of thinking we need.

    @et al:
    How about this: submit phrase ideas via Txt files putting each in categories, ideal dwarf phrases under "Dwarf" and elf under...you get the idea.

    Then we can all see what works and try recording some. If you all could record samples & submit would be ideal.

    I agree the elves need the major work, but though thats the field you want to work on don't be shy to jot down ideas for other races as you come to think of it.

    Now, lets see hear voice talent out there...

    If you want to use the once requested quenya and sindarin translations I did for the unit-names, you may use them, if you want to.
