The Heart of Storms is one of the oldest mods in the community, featuring full remakes of existing races and tons of custom content. Here's a brief summary of the project: http://hos.samods.org/about.html It has been frozen since 2006 but now is worked on again, and we intend to release an fully functional open beta this year. A couple samples of our project's quality: http://hos.samods.org/archpriestess.jpg http://hos.samods.org/strider2.jpg Trailer: http://forum.samods.org/index.php?topic=8953.0 http://youtube.com/watch?v=-B88DQbnieQ Here is a list of voices required to finalize the audio part of it. By 'role' I mean a set of unit replies, generally 12-18 short sentences. First priority: Dwarf male. Regular dwarf with heavy Scottish accent, 3-4 roles with minor differences. Gnome male. WoW-styled, zany and cartoonish 'mad inventor'. Two roles. Shadow Elf female. Deep-voiced, sinister female with a villain attitude. 2-3 roles. Can be voiced by male probably, and then feminized via adding a higher pitch and a number of effects. Sample: http://hos.samods.org/handmaidentest_sample.mp3 Second priority: Orc male. Deep, growling, similar to Chaos Warlord in original Warcraft 3. Orc female. WoW-styled, a regular deep female voice. Possibly can be voiced by a male as well, and then given a higher pitch. Human male. Generic medieval human. Shadow Elf male. Two roles - Slave (squeaky Gollum-styled voice, sample: http://hos.samods.org/hivelingtest_sample.mp3) and Witchmaster (insane type of guy, who screams and murmurs a lot). Contact me via pm or on msn (dmitry_rommel(a)hotmail.com where (a) is @ :)). Joining the team as a voice actor will give you the closed beta membership in addition to my thanks and world fame ^^ |

YES! I knew this mod couldn't die. I'd do it, but my australian accent is far too strong. Good luck finding people though. |

Umm Rommel wouldn't it be a bit better to publish some open alpha to attract attention. Anyway its 4AM here so tommorow morning I'll send you my voices. But voice actors need some lines to speak |

Ah, so this mod is still on Rom, you have any contact with Xaran? |

Dwarf Battlepriest. More deep, 'regal' and calm voice. What1: It is in battle that we are truly faithful. Yes3: Get goin' while the goin's good. Attack4: Let the hammers fall! Dwarf Stonebreaker. Deep-voiced, aggressive and stern. What1: Lookin' forward to do battle! Yes1: Make way for the Stonebreakers! Attack2: They don't stand a chance! Gnome Arcanist. A regular WoW-type gnome. What1: Ideas, ideas, I need ideas! Yes1: Hmm, I smell magic! Attack1: Your mana is mine! Gnome Technomage. More zany and high-pitched voice than a regular gnome. What1: Need a bit of Technomagic? Yes1: I'm going. I'M GOING! Attack1: You'll be divided by zero! Human Outrider. Regular medieval human, though with a bit of cowboy attitude. What1: At yer command, milord. Yes1: Ridin' forward! Attack1: Lock and load! Shadow Elf Witctmaster. Insane, switches from whispering to loud screaming. What1: I don't need the words! I'm beyond the words! (laughter) What2: Sanity? What's that? Yes1: (loud) I'll yet witness the end of time! Yes4: (murmuring) …she's close, she's coming… |

I love the personalities on some of these units. Sadly, I own no microphone, so I can't help. But God, I want some of those models. Just the two you've presented made me drool. |

Awexome to hear that HoS is back in production. :P By the way, what kind of program does one use to make voice files? I'm thinking of getting Audacity, but someone told me it saves to a separate file format... Thoughts? |
| 07-16-2008, 08:44 PM | #9 |
Audacity saves in .wav, but it can also save in .mp3 with a plug-in, which I can't seem to find. |
| 07-16-2008, 09:09 PM | #10 |
Oh. Are .wav's unusable by Warcraft (I assume so, since you mentioned the .mp3 plug-in)? |
