Here is a sample of the recording I did with a lady-friend from home for Ariena. Mind you that Ariena is half Aasimar, so don't expect a generic half-orc voice like female1. I am looking a bit more bright then that, though this might be to much.

Download the zip file and put it anywhere. Unzip it anywhere you want. Hit the .bat file two times with left mouse button or once with enter and presto you're .wav files.
Download is 577 Kb for the once who want to know and contains 8 recordings (already somewhat modified). I have more at home.

This is a very nice voice for Ariena (and cuter then I though)! :^^: I very much like it, good work here! :thumb:

Though maybe its just me, but for some reason Ariena8 doesn't blend in that voice completely I think. Don't really know why...

[Deathsangel]

Ariena8 is her attack cry and it is indeed a bit too perhaps. On the other hand the actual voice should level more with that sound, or at least so was the original idea.

You do not think it sounds too nice? I mean Ariena is not supposed to sound cute, when it comes to her charachter. Due to her Aasimar blood I do wish her to have a clear voice (and in that way maybe nice), though still threating sounding.

The voice of Ariena is not really perfect for her personallity, but don't bad either!

If you wish that Ariena has a more impatient, meaner, or 'pissed off' voice, then I would suggest to make more grunt louds in it, lay somewhat more deeps in the voice and be LOUDER! That should make Ariena more 'bitch-like'!

A good attack sound would be something like a war cry of an berserk, if you know what I mean.

The problem is that my lady-friend can hardly grunt nor go deeper with her voice. I really tried to get that out of her Sutr, but she just couldn't. I indeed want her Aasimar heritage to be dominant at physical. As outsiders blood is always the dominant one. So her voice should be clear, but, as you said and I, it is not Ariena enough. So what suggestions are there, if my lady-friend has problems with grunting and getting her voice lower?

Ariena8 = RAARRHH! I really reckon this to be a good war-cry.

Would anyone be interested, if I were to put Ariena's lines here?

If the lady-friend of yours can't hardly grunt, nor go deeper with her voice, then my suggestions are the following: Let her be somewhat louder and more aggressive (trust me, every women can be that way ). And if THAT doesn't work at all, then let her be a bit 'pissed off', though that could be dangerous for you!

I think a war cry would be more something like these here:
DIIIIIEEEEE~~!!!!,
GRAAAHHHHRRR~~!!!!,
YOU SHALL DIE~!!!
I'LL RIP YOU APART!!!
BWHUAHAHAHAHA~!!!
- Well, just some of my favourit ones, and remember to put feelings in it!

And just post away the lines from Ariena, so that the fans can help you a bit out!

[Deathsangel]

Ariena8 is your second one, so I see no need to change.

And he I can think of some myself. I ain't going to change the lines, it is more something of a spoiler

[Surtr]

Ariena8 as it is now is not the second one I listed. They may be somewhat similar... but the sound itself differs!

And sorry if I may misunderstood you about Arienas lines, 'cause I though you ask for help. If so, then I apologice(sp) about that!

Though. don't know if thats an small typo or if its correct, but I wondered: Ariena oughts to kill them all!~ [Arienao]

The other sound-texts are great, btw! :thumb:

[Dark Templar]

Really good.

Reflects both race and stats.





But if i really had to select something for improvement, i would recommend just a tiny bit more emotion in some of the sounds.

[Deathsangel]

@Dark Templar; Are you just saying that because you know her Dark Templar? Or do you really like the sounds

@Sutr; Hm... indeed mistake. The correct grammar is: 'He ought to' , thus Ariena ought to use ought to

[Deathsangel]

Sutr it went well. Pissed her off, she didn't mind, but indeed I had to be careful, but I do it all for the mod . The entire voiceset has been recordered in the span of 3 1/2 hours, I say we worked rapidly, while attaining the quality! Thus Ariena will come with her own voiceset!

I will take down the example tomorrow and the new soundset... well that is surprise. I am confident it sounds great! Thanks for the advice and opinions!

[Deathsangel]

Oh this of course means ->
