Lol. Oh ouch (looks down and then goes off in search of himself ). *that was my attempt at humor*

Anyway what exactly are you looking for in male voicesets? specifically. Or, let me rephrase that, which archtype would you want to see first? lol 'All of them' isn't going to help me personally.

Like my voice acting colleguea says can you be slighty more specific "guest"? If you would like for us to improve quality you have to specify what it is that you lack in the voicesets of the males.
Does 'having balls' refer to more hard statements, louder attack sounds, or... well you name it

And don't worry Caelellowynn he hasn't critised your voice acting, you aren't in the pack... yet

Voice acting is hard. Voice acting subtlety or quiet confidence or tentativeness is even harder. A good rule of thumb for VO is "There is no such thing as overacting."

Unfortunately, as many of us record in less-than-ideal environments, scenery-chewing causes clipping and echo and other nasty stuff we just don't have the technology to deal with, making it doubly challenging to "get it right." But it's still a good goal to shoot for.

You've got that right. I'm still new to the whole VO and its amazing to me the difference I find sometimes between what I think I'm putting across and what I actually hear in playback.

*Guest* Is this along the lines of what you were thinking? If you can, give me feedback on the voice itself and then also what is said. Just the writing can change what the voice conveys, or so I think. Anyway I have some time and am happy to try and work with you to see if I can find what you are looking for. Here's a couple of samples to work with.

Split the topic and made this a Wish List! Keep on shooting us with ideas and wishes of what kind of PC soundsets you would like to hear.

I'd like to see soundsets appropriate for Gnomes and Halflings. They're difficult to find.

Look for the "grumpy" soundset in the next release, which makes for a good male of any short race, and the "perky" clips which make for a good female gnome or halfling.

It would be great to have a few more alternatives too for the G&Hs in time.

I wrote a halfling set for DSotSC. I tacked on some PC-only sounds, so I'll gladly donate the relevant clips to the PC Soundsets if someone wants to take a stab at it.
