Sound Forum Readme

Hi there.
I'm Magic, moderator of this area of the forum. I'm creating this thread to help the forum avoid having the same questions asked and for people to get help quicker.


Frequently Asked Questions:
1) Where can I find actors?
2) Where can I get help or links for voice acting?
3) How do I start out at voice acting?
4) Where can I get work for voice acting?
5) How do I convert wav's to mp3's?

1) Where can I find actors?
See the other stuck thread here. There is a list of actors there with their samples, plus links to some websites.

2) Where can I get help or links for voice acting?
Feel free to post any queries or anything related to voice acting and editing here on this forum, or over on the SA.
Alternatively, try doing a google search.

3) How do I start out at voice acting?
I highly recommend this tutorial of mine. It covers the exact equipment you need and recording your voice at a basic level, with images and written in fairly simple English. Also, if you're wanting to get into sound editing, I created this tutorial too, mainly covering Cool Edit 2000 and Sound Forge.

4) Where can I get work for voice acting?
For forums: check out either this forum or the Team Gathering (Though be warned of people wanting VA's before their project is complete), the SAVAGE forum (You don't have to be a member of the Guild) or search on google. Alternatively, you can join SAVAGE, who regularly receieve requests for mod work, or JesseCox's group of actors.

5) How do I convert wav's to mp3's?
See this tutorial of mine.

Edit: Links updated on the 5th of August, 2004.

5) How do I convert wav's to mp3's? That link is broken.

Edit: Also the link that says how to start out for voice acting is broken too.

It's old, I think I better redo the thing sometime.
