Looking for some voice actors

So I'm working on a project. Basically what I'm doing is taking the cut scene from the ITF, expanding it out a fair amount, and then putting voices and sound effects to it. I've added a scene in the beginning where a Scout comes and reports to Romulus about Imperious and the champions attacking. Romulus orders their forces prepared, and then asks the surviving 5th column commander if he will aide him to which the commander says he will. Romulus then goes before the Nictus to answer for his failure and the Cut scene proceeds as it does in game.

So, why am I posting this? Simple. I am in need of people to play the voices of the respective toons in the video. I already have someone doing the voice of Romulus so that is not needed. What I need are voices for:

A Cimeroran Scout
A Cimeroran Praefectus
A 5th Column Commander (Would be Outstanding if this guy could actually have a German Accent!)

These are all male roles by the way.

I also need a voice for the Nictus, but I want to experiment some with this. Right now I'm thinking of doing 2 voices for the Nictus but have them overlaid. Perhaps 1 man and 1 woman doing the voices. I haven't really decided yet. Though if anyone has a suggestion for what to do with the voice for the Nictus by all means toss it on the table.

So, here is the dialogue:

General Coruncanius:
My Lord, a runner approaches.

Romulus Augustus:

What have you to report?

Legionaire:

My Lord, the champions of Imperius have broken through the gates and even now best our forces. They wield powers unlike any I have known. And my lord, Imperius himself accompanies them.

Romulus Augustus:

And what of Requiem. Any sign of him?

Legionnaire:

No my lord. He has vanished without a trace.

Romulus Augusts:

Very well. Prepare our forces. If we shall face our end, we shall face it on our feet.

Romulus Augustus (To 5h Column Commander):

And what of you? Will you stand by me during this hour?

5th Column Commander:

I was ordered to provide you military assistance and support. I shall not abandon those orders, my lord

General Coruncanius:

I shall go to aide in our defense, my lord.

Romulus Augusts:

And I shall shall atone for my failures with our masters.

Romulus Augustus (to Nictus):

Master,

I have failed you.

The champions wield the power of the gods.


Nictus:

Perhaps they do, Romulus.

But I will make you stronger than even the gods themselves
.

Romulus Augustus:

How is that possible?


Nictus:

--I will show you!


Romulus Augustus:

By the dark gods...

I am... NICTUS!

The champions shall be a feast laid before me
!




Once again, I need people to voice the General Coruncanius, the 5th Column commander, the runner and the Nictus though the Nictus I will be expiramenting with to find something I like. I kind of want to find some combination of effects that make it seem like the Nictus is speaking both audibly and mentally, like it's vibrating the air to produce the sound waves but at the same time is speaking telepathically.

So if you are interested drop me a line or reply here and tell me which part you want to read for. I'll send you a break down of how I think the line should be read via email. You can record your line and send it to me as an MP3 or WAV format file.

Try to contact Escher I think his global is @escher (or maybe its @onus vox) here is his forum profile:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/member.php?u=340173

He always does the voices for us on vent for cut scenes. Funny dude. Also he was one of the announcers for Battle Bots.

It's not like there were a lot of female options for the video for this video. I mean there's Romulus (He's a guy), a 5th Column commander (There aren't any female models for the 5th Column!). I needed a Cimeroran General (Once again no female models of the Praefectus) I originally did have the Legionnaire be one of the female models, but it doesn't render properly until it gets a lot closer to the camera.

And then there's the Nictus. thats... um... well that can use a female voice Philly. Get recording!

Either come down to Springfield Virginia or pay for my gas round trip and I'll be happy to hand it to you. Beyond that, it's still sitting on the same shelf behind my desk it's been sitting on for the last two years.

I'd be willing to help out. I'd be willing to try a variety of different things. I've done the voices on all but one of my AE trailers (the Rise of the Blood Countess one) which you can check out here. (Even though I tend to avoid using any voice work at all when I can)

So, do you want to be the voice of the 5th Column commander, General Coruncanius, or work with philly to be the second part of the voice for the Nictus?

I'll take the General.

CR...

one of my all time favorite movies is the 1986 "Transformers: The Movie" and I'll be honest, it's almost entirely because of Orson Well's as the voice as Unicron... I may have to do a fan-dub of the entire movie just so I can have you do the voice of Unicron. Seriously, those lines you sent me were like Orson Well Orgasmic.

CoH needs more voice overs...

Will definitely keep an eye on this thread to see what comes of all this. It sounds fantastic!

(Sorry no help here, just thought I would share my approval!)

well you can check out the first version of the scene I did. I this one in like... I donno. 8 hours total work with one voice. Mainly just to screw around but then I started experimenting and... well now I'm working on this larger version.

If you ever decide to do a project with the Shining Stars I would have a blast coming up with air sounds to be making at you. *hoorb*!

Your bargaining posture is highly dubious!

Yeah one of my favorite movies of all time and I can quote most of the scenes off the top of my head.
Whenever I catch a cold or get a sore throat my voice goes way deep and I walk around rumbling like Unicron... or singing Barry White.
It's cool you picked up on that.

For those that don't know what we are talking about this is Orson Welles as Unicron.

you know, it's worth noting that in the original in-game cute scene, it runs for about 50 seconds, consists of 2 characters and has a total of 10 lines between those characters. But in my expanded version, it now runs closer to 3 minutes, contains 5 characters and I now have over 50 sound files in my vocals folder.
