Recruitment of creative souls: voice actors and writers! Check it out!

**BNS** · March 04, 2007, 09:29 AM

... (non-English speakers warmly welcome!) - Want to see or hear your work in the mod?

Hello!

If you'd played the Chivalry Mod, you probably noticed, that it lacks some audio. You can help to sort it out!

Writers:
The writers' task will be to create speeches, battle event lines (general routing, time expires etc.) and orders. Than your work will be given to voice actors. Think you can do it? If you know the history of one faction well, send us speeches or battle event lines connected with this faction. If you are a native speaker in non-English language send us a sample in this language. Maybe there will be someone in our dev team who can check it. Our target is to make the voices in the factions' original languages, but it depends on how many writers and voice actors in different languages we'll have The list of "needed" languages will be put in this thread.
Post your samples in this thread

Voice actors:
The voice actors' job is to verbalise what wirters write wink.gif. Unfortunetely it's not so simple. If you have a mic and think we can make use of your voice, send us a sample! The instruction how to make one is in this thread. Your sample should include:

1. A speech. If you can't find/write one, you can use our sample:
Brave men of England, here you stand facing foreign foes on a unfreindly field of battle.
I ask of you to do your lord honour in battle so that he may honour his own liege, his most noble majesty.
Hold your banner high and pray to God and his saints so that we may prevail.
2. Some orders (f.e. march!, run!, forward!, hold position!). Remember to shout!
3. Some battle event lines. You can use ours:
Enemy_general_killed: The enemy general is on his way to the afterlife! Make the rest of his troops join him!
Enemy_general_routs: Honour means nothing to the enemy general! He's running away!
Allied_army_routs: Our allies have left us! We won't fall back so easily!
Enemy_reinforcements_arrived: The enemy brought up reinforcements! They know they're losing this battle!

Post links to your samples in this thread

Wich languages for wich factions are you looking for ??

:hmmm:

**Filibusteria** · March 04, 2007, 11:43 AM

my mother language is spanish, but im not sure if i can write a good speech for Castilla and Aragón.

You should contact merilitos in the .org, hes greek, he could make the bizantine. and also rex pelasgorum, is romanian or something like that.

**Ataegina** · March 04, 2007, 04:06 PM

Well i'm half norwegian-portuguese , i can also make some voices if portuguese kingdom comes in late or high era !?

**warluster** · June 26, 2007, 09:35 PM

I will happily write for Chiv TW, but it seems you have a lot of people already.

I can probably write in any language. With a translator of course

SO if you need another writer, yeah I'll write, but looks like full house already.

**drak10687** · June 26, 2007, 11:09 PM

full house? yeah, we wish....

actually none of this work was ever done... or even started for that matter

fact of the matter is that there is fewer active team members than ever at this point, so we are trying to concentrate on our priorities... so if you do wish to help out, you would be pretty much on your own, as none of us have really done this.

Thanks for the offer though!

**warluster** · June 26, 2007, 11:29 PM

Well I'll get a start on 'em, and PM them through. Because I think your in desperate need of speeches.

You could also use some from M2TW.

And maybe you, if you can't get voice actors, you could just have the subtitles come up?

**Daray** · June 27, 2007, 08:06 AM

Hello!

I would be also happy to help. I write quite often. And a pre battle speech is something I want to write

. And also other things. My mother language is Hungarian, but I also can write these in English, German and Arabic. Even if you need Latin I can also help (It was used widely in the middle ages). Or with Greek. It's true that byzantine greek is a bit different from the Greek I learn (ancinet greek) but maybe (only maybe cause it is not so easy) I can transform it.

**Turk** · June 27, 2007, 08:40 AM

My mother Language is Turkish,ad i can help a little bit with writing

Just tell me where and i will post what the voice creators have to say

(I can help out with for the Seljuks if you need)

**drak10687** · June 28, 2007, 02:19 AM

Thanks for the offers guys... well, if you've got any speeches you've wrote, you're welcome to give them to us... you can post 'em here if you want, or you might want to PM them to me or DaVinci or BNS (though he's away atm). It would be a lot more useful though if someone could actually act out these speeches as well... otherwise they will stay as subtitles... which is not as fun.

**Daray** · June 28, 2007, 03:08 PM

Hello!

Do you need them in the native language, in english, or both?

**drak10687** · June 29, 2007, 02:45 AM

I would say go ahead with both, if that's fine for you... it would be great to have them in native language, but it might be difficult to do that for all the factions... or at least cultures, and they should preferably be all in the same style... so it might be more doable in all english.
