1. Are you looking for a voice set for a man, a woman or something else?

A man.

2. How many lines would need to be voiced?

A lot. Hundreds. The mod spans BG1, BG2 and ToB.

3. Describe what kind of a voice you are after (tell something about the character if needed)!

Gavin is a neutral-good cleric of Lathander. He is romanceable. I don't have a specific voice in mind for him, but the lines have to be intelligible without them sounding like they were read from a page. Native English speaker, please, though I'm not fussed about American/British/etc accents.

4. Preferred format of the audio files?

any

5. Any deadlines?

Not really. The BG1 and SoA portions of the mod have been out for a while and I am finishing the writing on the ToB portion of the mod now. In other words, the mod has never been fully voiced, so if it remains not-fully-voiced for a while longer, no one will miss it.

6. What game and what mod is this for?

Gavin for BG1 and BG2.

7. Anything else you'd like to mention?

Currently, the soundset is already voiced, but the VA dropped off the planet. It happens. With that in mind, this mod has a lot of dialogue. I would rather leave it with just a soundset than waste a VA's time recording half the mod and then not be able to use it because the other half was never finished.

So yes, whoever volunteers for this would have my undying gratitude, but before you volunteer, please think about whether you really want to agree to voice >300 lines of dialogue.

I would be interested in taking a stab at this, but I'm worried I would end up sounding too much like Xan and/or Angelo. Maybe if you sent me a few lines, I could experiment with some voices and see what you think?

Hmm, yes, that's the problem with having a distinctive voice and and extensive resume. And given the popularity of Xan and Angelo, one or the other of them will most likely be in the party.

By all means, if it turns out sounding different, give it a try, but don't rupture your throat over it!

These are some lines chosen at random from BG2 SoA and ToB.

~It's been a long time since we sat beside the fire together. How are you holding up?~ [bgav102]
~I need to apologize for my outburst earlier.~ [bgav113]
~Valygar, do you ever wonder 'what if'?~ [bgav251]
~I wonder why people find ogres so funny.~ [bgav202]
~Should we be going this way? I thought we needed to head east.~
