Re: Ordering Up Some Voicework Volunteers!
Sorry guys. I neglected to respond to some questions that popped up later in this topic.
I think for the time being, we're just going to keep the voices in English. There's a degree of unrealism when you're ordering in Spanish, but the waiter (who is only in English) is responding in a completely different language.
I don't know how I feel about iPhone recordings this time around. Mind you, I did say I'd be more generous with these voice submissions, so all I can say is do your best to get a very quiet environment if you *must* use an iPhone microphone, and we'll see how it goes from there.
You don't even need to get a blue Yeti to record acceptable vocals. A Behringer XM8500 is 15 bucks or so on Amazon, and there's a really good pile-pro microphone for about 20 bucks. Add in an XLR to USB adapter cable, and it comes out to be about around 30. Add a desk stand for about $12 more, and a foam ball pop filter for about $2 to $ 5, and you're basically set. If you absolutely had to cut corners, you could go without the stand, you'd just have to make sure to hold the microphone at the same distance all the time, and accept that you're going to have to be very careful about handling noise.
I've only got one person submitting so far, so this is me saying come on boys and girls. The more voices we get, the more unique the game will sound. If we don't get enough entries, I'll just have to resort to using generic sfx and babbling for the customers, something which will rob the game of its personality.
