Troels Pleimert Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 For an upcoming podcast episode, I wanted to highlight some of the fan fiction that has come out of the Space Quest community. For that, I really wanted someone with a cool, deep, emotive, professional sounding voice to read some passages from some of the stories and novels that have been created over the years. Pretty much someone with a voice completely antithetical to my own. ;) Applicants are welcome. Please submit a short sample of your voice reading, well, whatever you feel like. Just so I can get an impression of how you sound. You would also need to have some halfway decent recording equipment, just so there isn't too much distracting background noise and so we can hear your inflections clearly. Any takers? pcj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intendant S Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I can do deep and emotive. :P Seriously, I used to do a good Vader impression. Not so much anymore. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 You cheeky devil you. :P Actually, you made me consider something I had neglected to think of ... you know, me being a rampant chauvinist and all. A female reading voice would be just as effective! So, uh, scratch the "deep" part. A fittingly emotive, cool and professional sounding voice. That's the ticket!

pcj Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Joe Cassara has a great announcer/narrator voice if you can convince him to spare some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frede Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yeah, Joe is definitely the guy to go to. In case he declines, I can think of another VSB actor who'd also be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleTentacle Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I just listened to the podcast in the latest SpaceVenture update. When were those recorded? Are there recordings of the complete stories? They were great! As for the question of male or female reading voice, I listen to a lot of audio books, and I definitely prefer male readers, in general. Female voices can be fine, as long as they use a lower register. Deeper, more rounded voices are more soothing and sound more authoritative.

Troels Pleimert Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks, man! Joe recorded those specially for the podcast and he only recorded the chapters that Dan and I selected. What you hear is all there is. :) I would LOVE to hear Joe run through the novels in their entirety, but he did it in his free time and for free, so I wouldn't presume that he'd want to give up his evenings for it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
