Actually it was for something else, but voice acting is voice acting, excluding the programming.
If that worked, hell would freeze over. I've worked with a LOT of communities, including a few large community projects, and the community has a bad habit of not doing anything EVER. in addition, the same people need the same voices, so random people can't just do 1 line, they have to take the whole bunch, which further discourages anyone from doing it.Rather than chase up after people who said they'd do it, I think a better way of doing it would just to post the lines required (with a link to a relevant recorder) and then wait for people to submit the .wav files, then (hopefully) you get a selection of files.
Quality of the recording has nothing to do with programming. Nada. Zilch. Zippo. Zero. Nothin. Its completely dependent on the recorder and the editor. If its a bad mic --> bad recording. An editor can fix up a recording somewhat, but generally if its bad, its bad, and who knows, the random person you met on the forum could live in Peru.If no one does it then it's a bit of a sad reflection on the community. Also I suppose if none of the recordings are professional enough then it reflects poorely on the programmer.
