Re: [Audyssey] Idea for Mota
Hi, AhNo. I'm definitely not from Boston or any New England city or state. I'm an Ohio boy through and through. So I have a typical Mid Western American accent if you want to call it that. That is to say I don't have any accent at all. I also don't use slang southern or otherwise. As an educated person I have always tried to avoid various slang like warsh instead of wash, y'all instead of everyone, crick instead of creek, and so on. I for the most part use textbook American English rather than fall back on the back country slang my southern relatives use. Sometimes I think they are speaking another language. Imagine listening to my southern relatives when they might say something like, "How's about y'all go down to the crick and catch us some feesh for dinner?"I'm like what is feesh? What is a crick? You take my point. I understand them quite clearly having grown up hearing it all my life, but all the same I've definitely tried not to copy their bad English or use their particular grammar and slang. So when I learned proper English in school I always did my best to overcome the southern slang I grew up with and learned how to speak properly. I always felt, even when I was young, an employer or anyone else would respect me if i didn't sound like a back country hick, and sounded like a well educated American from the Mid West. So anyway I don't have a Boston accent, or any accent at all. Cheers!

Since I don't know what someone souhnds like I tend to associate them with the voice of some film star, movie character, etc as well. However, as this topic proves that can be as far from the truth as possible. As for my own voice I manage. I've learned over the years if I want to be pretty clear to my audience, such as speaking to a client over the phone, I will talk a bit slower than usual in order to make my words clear and not slur them. Like a person who stutters I have to consciously think about how to say some words in order to make them loud and clear enough to be understood without repeating them. If i don't my words will come out with a little lisp or slurring. I might be able to do a podcast or something, but doing voice overs for menus, status reports, i don't think would sound too good in a game.

Re: [Audyssey] Idea for Mota
A shame lori, i think scots accents sound fantastic!

Re: [Audyssey] Idea for Mota
Actually, that's a point. i've been reading mails from the chap for about five years now, but never heard his voice. I've heard phil, che and jim on interviews, but not tom? maybe he's really a growling demon from the pits of hades and doesn't want us to know it, that would also explain his intensive knolidge of griek mythology, - though maybe less so his liking for startrek, starwars and wrestling, unless the tv reception in hades is pretty good ;D.

[Audyssey] Idea for Mota
Hi, just out of interest I thought as it's scansoft Tom doing the voice in Mota now, what about the real Tom? Would be interesting to know what he sounds like, couldn't you introduce a talking statue with your voice Tom? "Speak the correct word and thou shalt pass! Answer wrongly and your soul is mine!" I just thought it would be an interesting idea. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
