Eastern European English Speaking Accents

Remove all ads!

Bit of a strange request this one. I'm looking for a volunteer to record some dialogue for me for a mission I'm putting together in Operation Flashpoint. I need someone to read the lines for the mission's Resistance contact. In the game the resistance are sort of Eastern European so I'd prefer to have the dialogue read with a convincing accent.

So, if you can speak English (with an appropriate accent), can record some WAV files on your PC with a microphone, can email them to me, and want to become famous as a great voice actor via my next Op Flash mission , drop me an email. Full credit and much thanks will be given. If you want to see the sort of thing I'm doing see this mission:

The mission I need the voices for will be different in nature in that it has a strong story element and gives the player a number of dilemmas to solve.

I haven't actually written all the dialogue yet but there won't be too much. It'll be along the lines of:

"What kept you?" - read impatiently
"I have some extra info that might help" - read neutrally

PS just been reminded, yep unfortunatley the role needs a male voice Baratone voiced ladies will also be considered

Hmmm... guess I can't help then. But if you need a sultry French female voice, I can do that. Resistance, perhaps? Oh- and I can do most of the voices from the Princess Bride when I've had enough to drink. I guess you don't need, "You killed my father, prepare to die"? Too bad there were no Russians in the story...

[Edit: Mais oui, the god, I have been doing "Michelle of the Resistance" in my spare time since the very first episode of 'Allo 'Allo first aired! Glad to detect a fellow fan. Slappy, sorry for this digression.]

I could watch The Hunt for Red October a few dozen times and then give you my best Sean Connery Scottish/Russian hybrid!

 

Thanks for the offers and also for reminding me just how bad an English speaking person can be when trying to sound Russian (Mr Connery).

Actually there are Russians in the mission but I have bee able to use the Russian sound bytes (actually in Russian not English) within the game for their lines.

As to working in a sultry French female. It's a bit tricky at the moment as I think the game only has male models. However, a full model editor has now been released so maybe someone will knock up a women (if you'll excuse the expression). If they end up looking like the waitresses in Allo Allo (the first two anyway) I might end up playing the game even more

PS to those not in the know about the Allo Allo references, here's the 'listen very carefully.....'

danm i got a russian accent due to my father but no mic, if i can get one ill record em for you (i also fake german quite well)

 

Thanks for the offer, let me know if a mike does turn up

Sadly it looks like my Resistance Contact is going to have to be a mute who communicates through mime and writing
