'Ello.  I finally got a portrait, so I think it's time to try and get some voicing. :)

 

1. What kind of voicing does he need?

This is a mod for BGTutu/BGT/BGEE, so I'm looking for just the regular soundset and one line of his introduction.  If you're intending on staying in the BG Modding community and would like to voice him for BG2, too, when I get around to that... well, that would be awesome, but I'm more concerned with just getting a simple soundset out because a lot of people hate silent mods.

 

2. Could you describe him a bit?

The big thing is that he's Calishite.  There are few examples of Calishite accents in the game- I think the biggest examples are the father and daughter from Anomen's quest, and then perhaps the dao djinn in Trademeet.  Calimshan is described as being the equivalent to Arabia and the Ottoman Empire in the Realms, so that's some similarity if you have skill at faking accents (or have an actual true one, which would be awesome).  The Calishite language has been described as being melodoic, and their way of speaking Common has been described in published material as somewhat sing-song, if that helps any.  Honestly, though, he's been traveling away from home for so long that the accent doesn't have to be exact.

 

Other then that, he's something of a flighty individual who leans a bit close to CN for a ranger, but has managed to stay the line so far.  He has various vocal quirks, and pausing and 'um'ing isn't unusual.  He's meant to be an almost innocent romance for a female protagonist in the first BG game, someone who is naive about love and unsure what it means for them as a couple, or a somewhat head-in-the-clouds but regardless true friend for the BG1 protagonist not interested/or not meeting the requirements for romance.  By BG2, he's matured a bit more, if not always for the better.

 

3. How does he look like?

Check the other thread.  >.>  Nah, seriously, he's an Air Gensai from Calimshan with an elven father.  White hair, but dark eyes and skin.

 

4. Any deadlines?

I would prefer it by the end of the month or the first week of January, if possible.  I'm actually working at a faster speed then I predicted I would be.

 

5. How should I contact you?

This thread, PM either here, at the Gibberings 3, or at the BGEE forums, email.  Whatever works for you.

 

6. I think I want to help you.

Please do.  This is the line I need voiced, as well as the full soundset.  If you want to do only a few lines, and send it to me, that's fine, or if you want to do the whole thing and then send it to me, that's also fine.
