A few more example sounds from Ghost to try out and have fun with. Open them up in Audacity to get an idea of how they should sound and also to see appropriate levels for each. http://www.mediafire.com/download/e5w985mp56q08n4/st6_us_examples.zip Some tips to help recording: Record for one minute with a higher gain but dont say anything. Use it to see what ambient sounds it picks up and see if you can find the sources and eliminate them. Computers are the worst especially with fan noises. Maybe cover temporarily with a towel while recording. All unneeded electronic devices in general should be turned off. Keep the mic 2-3 inches away from the mouth. If this isnt possible, such as a headset, remove the set and hold it slightly away. Keep back from walls and corners to avoid reverb. If the cord is long enough stand away from the computer. Adjust the gain so the sound is not muddled nor does it blow out the mic. Record it all in one long stream and not a bunch of little ones. Have a sheet a paper with all the lines. Start the recording. Speak into the mic using different variations on the dialog and what you like. Experiment and feel free to improvise. Last but not least, anyone can read lines. Remember that you are actors maties. edit: And in case anyone asks, a good male/female mixture would be great. It doesnt have to be a male Marine that says "Enemy AC130 inbound".

I am still working on a few things. For one I am hoping more XI members will try out as voice actors. Information in the clan members forum. Dont be shy.

ACR? What is this ACR you speak of?

Yes Unreal Tournament is a good choice. Its an older game but loads of fun and plenty of mods to keep thing fresh. Quite a few games block LAN play and/or require Internet access to even start the game.

Wanted to add: Audacity is the preferred method with wav files since it is a much better recorder and when you play it back you can hear if levels are too low or high. Also for compatibility.

Assuming this all works out and I can fit it all in it would also be great to eventually do this for all the killstreak dialogs also (RCXD inbound etc). The dialogs would be specific according to the nationality of the team. A bit problematic for Spetznaz and Opfor depending on how they should be handled. Native tongue or English with the appropriate accent. Either way would be best with a native speaker of both. Anyone that would like to try it channel your inner soldier and favorite actor then play around with the ones above. Feel free do to variations or what you think would be cool. This is an archive of some US/UK dialogs of the above in wav format to get a good idea of what they sound like outside of the game. http://www.mediafire.com/download/mh9ug3yh8wpm8hb/dialogs.zip

Oh my someone really needs a shave.

That is just... disturbing.

Unless I am mistaken you get the full game when it comes out.

I have been kind of waiting for the standalone before thinking about getting it but from what I read it wont even reach beta until... maybe... next Christmas. Admittedly it is a very big job for a small studio.

I would also think the cop would get on the radio and ask his supervisor what to do instead of arresting a firefighter doing his job at a car wreck. Its just common sense really.

AOL wants me to unblock all kinds of stuff just to read a damn article. So I went elsewhere to get it. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/cop-arrests-on-duty-firefighter-over-parking-feud-150128011.html

Often if heli nodes are not set up correctly the heli will leave. They more or less work like a chain from node to node. If one of them doesnt have a target node to go to then it considers that as a flag to leave the map.

Get you off?

Versions? Patches and all of that? cod4/5 are both 1.7 I think.

In that game how often do players turn on each other? I would find that annoying and its one of the things that would keep me from buying it later if it happens too much.

Looks fun. Since its free to play I will try it out and see. But not going to buy the dlc. I dont buy those these days unless they are really worth it. Which is pretty much next to nothing.

Unless they are, shall we say, open minded.

Well Adobe is a POS. When I try to update the link keeps taking me back to the main page.

Seriously? I guess the worst part was how the mother casually thought it was no big deal and was quite open about it to the cops.

Nuns can be a randy bunch.

Ah Pennywise, I think.

I am sure some of those are staged to look more dangerous than they really are. Others are typical of those that work on scaffolding and things like that. Or on the top of very tall poles. I really cant imagine anyone is stupid enough to have live electrical cords in a pool. But who knows. The guy doing a Harry Potter impersonation is funny. Too bad there wasnt an after shot to see if he broke his legs landing in the water.

Thats funny. Of course Seth Macfarlane looks out of place in the old west with his big white teeth. Sarah Silverman is raunchy as always.

She pleaded not guilty even tho it was all caught on tape? Seriously? I suppose something really bad happened that day to her and the frustration kicked in. Maybe she got fired. Maybe her medical insurance refused to cover a $5000 treatment. Both of those would make me pretty mad. Of course it could have been drugs. Still, I would think she would accept a plea deal of some kind. Oh and what did she break the window with? A hammer? What was she doing with a hammer in the car?
