Do you think you have what it takes to voice a noble (or perhaps vengeful) Dwarf?

Well then, you're in luck!

We are still in need of several voice sets for Erebor units and heroes. If you are interested, have motivation and a decent microphone, why not give it a shot? We'd greatly appreciate any help we can get.

If you do decide to apply, here's what to do. First, let us know which unit(s) you are interested in by posting in this thread, then PM examples of your voice work in .wav format (record some of the cues from your target Dwarf) to Matias - we'll get back to you right quick about whether we think they're suitable. If we think they are, record the rest of the script. Simple!

You can check out the scripts for units here:

• Durin
• Dain Ironfoot
• Thorin
• Iron Hills Warriors
• Iron Guardsmen
• Dwarf Siege Ram
• Black Uruks of Mordor

Or download them as a nicely packaged .pdf here.

I look forward to hearing from you (literally)!

I wish I could help but my voice isn't deep enough and I don't have a microphone. It seems I was right about the Black Uruks being in-game though.

[Nertea]

*shrugs* they were supposed to be a little pleasant suprise for those with a little faith, but I guess they have to be an announced unit then. And trust me, there will be no other suprises.

[Baki]

Why should someone have little faith?
Btw, the Uruks are shown on one of the ModDB screenshots, so they weren't really that secret.

Anyway, if I can find my microphone, I'll perhaps be able to do some decent orcish voices for the Mordor Uruks.
I can also try to do some dwarvish ones, but I suppose that they will suck.

[drogoth232]

Like Yarrum said. My voice isnt deep enough for this.

[Mathijs]

Kids.

[Yarrum]

You know it!

[Crusard]

I'm far from a dwarf but I might still be able to help, I like voice acting
Could you provide me with pictures and/or portraits of the units?

[Nertea]

They're all in some screenshot or another (except the ram, but it's nothing special), but I'll list them here:

• Durin
• Dain Ironfoot and Iron Guardsmen
• Thorin
• Iron Hills Warriors
• Black Uruks of Mordor

I have a friend that has a fair enough deep voice and can simulate perfectly the scottish accent. Might ask him if we wants to do this .

[Pi3Don3]

aye lads, that's me, just need to get a mic and i'll try, sounds simple enough for me, think i'll try the iron hills warriors and iron guards, possibly the ram?

[Nertea]

That sounds great! Good luck

[Crusard]

Thorin at Nertea's PM box

[Der Eremit Erwacht!]

I may do some guttural vocals for the uruks... but they'll have a little german accent^^ Is that okay for you? I have a decent micro, some software too.

[Mathijs]

I wouldn't really mind as long as it isn't painfully obvious. Try and make it a bit English.

[Baki]

Btw, as you need some grunt and snarl sounds for them, why not use some from the Isengard Uruks?
If I remember correctly they had some decent fitting sounds.

[Mathijs]

Because we want new units to sound new. This is a very picky and perfectionist mod.

[Mathijs]

Right, Thorin is finished and done. Great, great work Crusard. Very good.

[Devon]

I could do Uruks if whoever else posted for them doesn't actually.

[Nertea]

You could both do samples - we'll choose the one we like best.
