OK, while we wait for more info to be posted about the auditions, how about we play the "KQ9 Audition Casting Game!!"
Here are the parts that have not yet been casted, that will probably exist in the game. Listen to the voice auditions, and then cast one role. You may cast one role per day, although it would be nice to have many different people casting parts.
(Light) Ferryman
Atrella
Valanice
Creepy Creature
Spider - Jeysie
Monster - Koko
The Beast - Jael
Centaur - Yonkey
Guardian - LN
Fruit Creature - 'harvester
Nymph - Storm
Red Chess Pieces (Pawn, Rook/Old Man, and Bishop) - Fatali (he can be them all lol)
Oracle - Say
Dark Ferryman - Rob
Oyster - Mango
Dangling Participle - J-ROC
Old Druid - Bob
I'd cast Yonkey as the Centaur ;)
LOL! WTF? Half those people don't talk but ok... two can play at this game:
Fruit Creature - 'harvester
Nymph - Storm
:suffer:
Sorry Yonkey, only one pick a day:suffer:
I'll cast Storm as the nymph for my one pick today, though. Oh, and I'm so hyped I'm going to have so many lines as the fruit creature! ::)
I've moved this game to Haven, since these castings are so not official. XD
Just one? Does that mean we get to spam you everyday until you pick one! !!!
BTW, I picked the Fruit Creature for you since it matches your avatar nicely. ;D
I'd cast Mango as the Oyster!! ::) :P
J-ROC should be the Dangling Participle! XD
Rob as the Dark Ferryman :)
Koko as Monster XD
:o I'm a monster?? :( Nice to know that everyone's true feelings have now come out....I was hoping for Valanice...but I guess I don't have an old enough sounding voice. :P
LOL! I just keep picturing you stabbing that teddybear. ;P
Orli is alive and well, thank you very much!! :P
to be proven I guess!! and me a dark ferryman :o :o I'm not dark!! :o
Bob = old druid :D

hahahaha! that pic was awesome :D
I am never going to live that down, am I?? How in the world will I prove that he's alive and well?
Fine, fine, Rob...scratch the dark ferryman and move him to the light ferryman.
lol, what does this discussion have to do with casting :S :P
I cast Say for the Oracle, cuz well... she knows all (at least on this forum) :P
very true...
Fatali for one of the chest pieces...I see him with that kind of voice.
Quote from: Yonkey on November 07, 2004, 03:41:02 PMNymph - Storm
WTF??!!?
Where did that come from?
Did you even hear my voice, Yonkey? that would have to be a wood-nymph :P
I cast LN as Guardian ;)
I'm guessing you haven't listened to my auditions. ;P
*looks at who hasn't been named yet*
Jael-Oracle
P.S. Now that I think of it, Guardian might make a decent avatar(I'll find one I like, eventually). :-\
psst!! Daniel!! there is already someone proposed for the role as oracle
Yes, but I think it should be Jael. ;D
Quote from: Storm on November 10, 2004, 09:59:40 AM
WTF??!!?
Where did that come from?
Same place the Centaur and me came from. ;-D
Quote from: Storm on November 10, 2004, 09:59:40 AM
Did you even hear my voice, Yonkey?
Actually yeah! Which is why I still say Nymph. ;D
OK I just saw this thread, I updated the list. Now it should be pretty easy to see the rest of the parts. :)
*looks at who the Oracle is*
NM what I said about Jael being the Oracle. :sweating:
*sniff* and I've officially been cast as the monster...
Which monster, from which game?
The hornded big toothed tree one. :P
:o
Now I know what ya'll really think of me... :'(
:P
Just Neil. ::)
QuoteI cast Say for the Oracle, cuz well... she knows all (at least on this forum)

But . . . but . . . Jael knows all too :o :'(
:P
Oh well. Can I nominate myself for the beast? ;D
Haha, sure, I'll cast you as him too. ;)

Now I know what ya'll really think of me... :'(
:P
The character doesn't have to look like the person voicing it. :P For example, that old woman that does the voice of Bart Simpson & Rod and Todd Flanders. ;-D
lol...good thing I'm not easily offended :P But yeah, I understand. I remember seeing a pic of Mel Gibson having done the voice of John Smith (from Pocahontas). I was shocked because Mel and the pic of John Smith didn't look anything alike :P
so we have left:
(Light) Ferryman
Atrella
Spider
Valanice
Creepy Creature
I cast jeysie for the spider :)
The question is...who has a good enough voice to be cast as Valanice?
You can't cast me for the Spider... I already have two parts. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz

If they were posted, I definately listened to them! I just don't remember them too well :-[
I was going to cast Jeysie as the Oracle... I imagine her having an all-knowing voice all the time 8)
I cast Jael as Atrella.
Quote from: B'rrr on November 09, 2004, 09:35:35 PMBob = old druid :D
How do you know I have the voice of an old druid?
This (http://home.scarlet.be/~pin22973/druid1.wav) one's for Rob, since it's in Dutch/Flemish.
This (http://home.scarlet.be/~pin22973/druid2.wav) is the same in English.
BTW, I had to adjust the input volume when switching to the English version so the first one might be a bit (too) loud.
:zzz:
Hurrah! We finally get to hear CC! 8)
Peace & Luv, Liz
Actually, that DOES sound like a good voice for him. :P
hahahah, nice one Bob!! :D
actually Daniel was right, it does sound like it... well, the english one, the Flemish one doesn't sound like a druid (love your accent though :) )
*makes mental note to listen to recordings once he gets home* ;D
CC...you DO have the voice for a druid!
Yeah! CC does have a kewl voice! XD How come you never applied when the Online Auditions were going on?
no mic (working) I guess :S
Awww, that sucks. :-\ Well, now that it works, he should try out one of the audition sides. Let me know if you're interested and I'll e-mail them to ya, CC. 8)
Quote from: Yonkey on November 12, 2004, 08:58:52 AMYeah! CC does have a kewl voice! XD How come you never applied when the Online Auditions were going on?
I only figured out how to get this thing working properly shortly before I posted those wavs.

What's the use, apart from the fact that you'll be hearing me even more? :-\ Anyway, sure you can, if you want.

Well, you heard all of us trying out, so why not return the favour? ;D
yes!! you should audition Bob!! :)
Yes, Bob...come on! You might get cast as a druid :P
Quote from: Yonkey on November 12, 2004, 08:53:04 PMWell, you heard all of us trying out, so why not return the favour? ;D
No I didn't, not
all of you. Sure, I've heard Cat, Liz, Alex, you and Kimmie, (not necessarily the audition though) but I think that's about it. Anyway, what audio format (8/16 bit pcm), sample rate (8000-48000, and some inbetween), # of channels (mono/stereo) and filetype should I put it in?
Quote from: B'rrr on November 13, 2004, 12:33:31 AMyes!! you should audition Bob!! :)
Last I heard the auditions were officially closed. :-X
Yeah, they are officially closed, so you can record it in any format you like. 8)
The reason why I'm asking you to try out is because since you're a KQIX Fannatic, you get some benefits. ;D So even though the Online Auditions are closed, I could show your recording to Mike. Assuming you record and post it for us, of course. 8)
wheee!! yeah!!
Neil will use his devine influence to force Mike to cast Bob :P
I knew there was a plus to being a fannatic :D
i wanna be one too!!
*changes status to fanatic wannabe* :P
psst...Rob...there's two "n"s in fannatic
lol, thnx... I'll change it right away :P
Quote from: Yonkey on November 13, 2004, 07:58:00 PMYeah, they are officially closed, so you can record it in any format you like. 8)
The reason why I asked was because I noticed that with my last settings, the files would get a bit (too large), even when .ogg-ed. Anyway, I looked up the Auditions page and got Mono (I can handle that), 44100 Hz (I can do that too), but the 96Kpbs I cannot find in my settings, si I'll just do it with 8bit pcm and 16bit, and see if the filesize of a 16bi-tedt isn't too big.

Oooh! :o Benefits! :yes: Now
that's an excellent incentive. 8)
Ahh, you're talking about WAV format. You can record it at the top quality wav, but you'll need to convert it to mp3 (which is where you'll see the 96kbps setting). 8)

I tried converting a wav to .mp3, but my converter says it doesn't have an mp3-encoder. And even if it did, I'd have to look it up how to specify the 96kbps setting. After all, I've got to do it all
console-wise. :sweating:
If you're using Windows, you can try the conversion program indicated on the Online Auditions (http://www.tsl-game.com/join/onlineauditions/) page (dBpowerAMP Music Converter).
Ogg is also allowed. 8)
and ANY decent Linux distro comes with an Ogg encoder. :D
and it's easy to do "console-wise" :P
and... and... and... JUST SEND IT! !!! :P

See, I only revert to Windows when I see no other solution in Linux. And, as it turned out, it was not all that difficult to do. Just download and install another rpm, look up the manual, find out spaces in the filename are not allowed, and off we go! 8)

and... and... and... JUST SEND IT! !!! :P
I tried ogg-ing a .wav too, but to me it seemed the default compression rate was rather low, so the size-loss was not that large. And no, there's no decent Linux distro on my CD, since SuSe only allows CD1 to be downloaded for free, and not CD2 (which you have to buy). Ofcourse, everything that's
on CD2 can be downloaded just as well, but it just takes a bit more time. I agree it was easy to do console-wise, but I couldn't have known that before I read the right manual now could I?
Now, about that sending part, where should I send my 'lame excuses posing as an audition'.mp3's to? :P
You can upload them to the same place your other voice clips are. ;D
make sure we get a link ::) :P
I think one of the stipulations of Neil showing Mike the links is for CC to post them :P
it would be logical... wouldn't it ::) :P
Isn't this supposed to be a game or something :S :S
yes, there are a few roles open... you wanna be cast too ::) :P
You can cast me but I dont really wanna be cast :P
I'll go for Valanice :P, I could make him her sound like a drag queen :P
But at least her accent would be cool!
Quote from: Yonkey on November 15, 2004, 06:28:16 PMYou can upload them to the same place your other voice clips are. ;D
That poses a slight problem. My homepage-provider doesn't allow mp3's to be put there. :-\ (Silly rules about mp3's being bad... They're my own creation! :furious: )
So, in order to circumvent those rules, I uploaded them with the .wav-extension, but they're definitely mp3, so beware when d/l-ing them, your sound player might say it's an invalid file.
Copycat - Male Comic - 1st (and only) try. (http://home.scarlet.be/~pin22973/Comic1.wav)
Copycat - Male Evil - 1st try. (http://home.scarlet.be/~pin22973/Evil1.wav)
Copycat - Male Evil - 2nd try. (http://home.scarlet.be/~pin22973/Evil2.wav)
Copycat - Male Heroic - 1st try. (http://home.scarlet.be/~pin22973/Heroic1.wav)
Copycat - Male Heroic - 2nd try. (http://home.scarlet.be/~pin22973/Heroic2.wav)
So, is that proof enough of the rubbishness of my voice? :P
ACK! Of course CC posts these when I'm unable to listen to them. I'll try to tonight when I get home...if not, well...I will sometime! I promise!
ieehp!! can't listen atm either :( I will tomorrow though
...sorry Bob, you just have to wait for the jury :P

I thought the benefits were more of a "we put you at the top of our mailing list" thing :P Maybe I should consider applying... not that I stand a chance of making it in there :-\

I don't see why you can't do both :-\
Besides, the Light Ferryman suits your voice much better IMO ;)
We're running out of characters for people. :P
Why don't we all try to make the voices of past characters, and see what the results are(I've always wondered what the "fisherman" from KQ4 sounded like ::) ). ;P
Quote from: Storm on November 24, 2004, 02:13:19 PMI don't see why you can't do both :-\
It's just that I can't find anyone else with two parts on the 1st page. I guess the final word is up to the original poster (the one who made the list). 8)
Ok Bob I have to admit that all of those recordings were great :D, and you seriously should try for a part in the game ;)
BTW my favourite was Evil 2 :D

Anyway, I would like to know if my accent is comparable to that of a Dutchman, or is something entirely different. XB
Valanice will be played by.... Cesar! XD
YEAH! Valanice has been cast!
That leaves just three parts open (under the assumption I can't play Light Ferryman too). :scholar:
