Voice Actors Needed (not anymore)

**ThePaSch** · 06-13-2011, 05:47 AM

Hello,
I began working on a custom story a while ago. I never got around to work on it, so it went on a hiatus.
Well, I'm planning to end this hiatus. I revamped the story, polished the rooms and started adding stuff.
Now, I need a voice actor for the protagonist. The old version of my story just spawned you in the castle's entrance hall, showing a mere text. I want to create a proper intro for the "real thing".
I tried voice acting myself, but it just doesn't sound "right". So, if anyone wants to help, here's the text I need:

Quote:(Narrating, Emotional)
My name is Lucius von Rotenheim.
And I want to tell you my story. My story full of tribulations and darkness.
It all revolves around Balthasar Steinbach and his castle.
Balthasar was once a good friend of mine. We wrote letters to each other on a weekly, sometimes even daily basis. And I visited him often and regularly.
But even the best friendships are sometimes put on a trial. So was ours.
We got in a fight. And then, a month of silence followed. That's when I began regretting what I have said. I wrote him an apology letter, but received no answer.
Doubts arose. It was not Balthasar's style to just ignore a letter. I decided to visit Castle Steinbach once again to apologize to him from man to man.
But what I found, my dear friend, left me speechless. A horrible sight. And this is where it all began.

Thanks in advance!

Story looks cool.

I could give it a try when I'll have some time.

Hey ThePaSch,
I did a quick version of your script. I wasn't always positive what you were looking for, so i just kind of ran with it. anyway, have a listen:

I've been trying to play the video, but it says it is not available yet. Sad

In the meantime I tried my own version. It lacks some "emotion" because I tried not to make to much noise: my roomate is here and I didn't want to disturb him.

I really like your version. Put a little bit more "sadness" into it (imagine you are Philip from Penumbra, writing a final letter to his friend minutes before his death). Also, there are some pronounciation errors (it was not Balthar's style).
Record it again regarding that, and it'll be perfect!

You lack a bit of emotion. Again, like Xss, imagine you are Philip from Penumbra, writing a final... you get the point. Big Grin

And both of you, of course, thank you very much for your help!

I'll give it another try when my roomate will no longer be here, or somewhere else.
Also, I've never played Penumbra, so I don't really know the main character's voice...And it would help me if you could point out which words are mispronounced since English is not my mother tongue: I'm not really sure of some words ^^"

Gave it another try, dunno if this is better '.' What kind of sadness do you want? Should the character be on the verge of crying while reading this letter?
I am not sure about the pronunciation errors, sadly, so we'll see :/
