I'm not sure Jim.
sinse obviously Homer though a cartoon character is intended as a human
being, albeit a rather stupid one at times, ---- therefore to me would be
just the same as using the voice of Luke Skywalker, Captain Picard, the
Terminator or any other character from a tv program or film.
If your game includes those characters, it's best if you can have their
voices, however your game might be an original project and include entirely
new! characters which imho have to have their own voices.
Look at Airik the clerric. Airik is a distinct person with his own voice (in
fact Bryan P's voice), and now if anyone else wanted to write a game with
Airik, it'd make sense that they have to have Bryan.
That was why in Tdv, Munawar returned to play the agent from Treasurehunt,
sinse that agents' voice was! effectively munawars.
Does that make sense?
Myself I'd view most game characters as just as real as characters in a
film, play, or any other form of artistic expression, and obviously then you
want them as well portrayed as possible.
Fair enough if you prefer sapi for everything Jim, I just find that a rather
strange preference myself for the above reason.
Beware the grue!

Hi Dark,
Sorry about the Hi Dark subject. Don't know how I did that.
I see what you mean, but Homer Simpson is almost not like a Human voice to
me. He is a cartoon voice. Kind of like if I had been more of a
Flintstones fan and used Fred Flintstones voice rather than Homer's.
I do see though like with Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Automan and even
Maggie's car horn in Homer on a Harley. It is hard though to find and
edit bits of speech out of TV shows, movies etc and find everything that
you need for a game.
BFN
Jim
You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.
