Board battle audiobook; Gulgrim post test

(1/3) > >>

Shadow Chorus:
Hi guys. I was reading through the most recent posts on the Epic battle, and I just got the sudden creative urge to do a thing, and so it happened. I recorded a reading of Gulgrim's most recent post as if from an audiobook. The mic quality isn't as good as I could have it be; I was using my webcam mic rather than the blue yeti I use for podcasting, because it was just an in the moment thing. But I actually really liked doing this and I might consider doing this treatment to particularly awesome posts in our battles. Just thought you guys might enjoy it.

Here's a link to my first test.

Edit: The better one is in the second post.

I went and grabbed my yeti mic and did another one, this one from the fight with Soul Reaver. I also did a little more work on this one. Instead of just noise cancelling and EQ, I also did my best to remove some of my stumbles, close gaps of quiet, and silence some of the moments where you can hear breathing that doesn't seem fitting with the take. Here's another test.

I decided to try my hand at a somewhat longer post, this one being the most recent story post from our battle master at the epic battle. I largely wanted to experiment with space marine helmet effects and telepathy sounds in this test, so I may have missed some of the pruning I did for the last post, especially since this one is much longer.

Do note that without any vocal direction from the ones behind these characters, I have no idea how they are supposed to sound, so I've just had to take a stab in the dark at their vocal style. If someone doesn't sound like they are envisioned to, I apologize. This was also partly a test to see how well I can distinguish multiple characters in one post.

Soul Reaver:
Hey, this is cool.  Enjoyed hearing another member narrating the Board Battles.  I'll always hear Gulgrim sounding like Gorgutsz from DoW in my head though.

The Marine sound effects sound very spot-on as well.

It's funny because I recently did some audio-related stuff myself with my meteor mic, but nothing in relation to the board battles (it's a mod for The Ur-Quan Masters).

Glad you enjoy it.

Hearing him as Gorgutz is kinda funny, since I actively have modeled him after Kaptin Bluddflagg, but I do like the idea of him sounding like Gorgutz.
