Applause to the Voice Actors

I feel like such a nerd. This could quite possibly be one of the most exciting moments in my life. I hope that my own release of one of my more recent games will be equally fulfilling to others. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.nancycarterdesign.com/bryce/pimpbot.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>----------<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.nancycarterdesign.com/spongefactory/" target="top">Sponge Factory</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i></i>

Voices

#4 Post by timosity » Thu Apr 03, 2003 2:31 pm

It takes a while to get used to the voices, at first I didn't think Graham's voice fit, but you get used to it after a while, I just never thought of him with an American accent.<br><br>I'm about half way through so I haven't heard them all yet, but I think hagatha's voice is quite good, and the underwater voices were good.<br><br>I'm pleased that there is a good use of different accents, makes it more friendly to people around the world.<br><br>I didn't think adding voices was necessary to this paerticular game, but it doesn't take anything away from it.<br><br>Good work <p></p><i></i>

The voice actor who played Graham also voiced him in Sierra's KQ5 and KQ6, so we thought he was the best one to do Graham again.<br><br>And yep, the voices will take some getting used to. That's always the case with voice-overs coming out after the actual game. (QFG4 for example)<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nas ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

finished it again

#6 Post by timosity » Thu Apr 03, 2003 6:53 pm

I finished it again, I got used to the voices, I Haven't played the voice versions of 5 or 6 so I didn't recognise it.<br><br>I know Kings Quest is American seeing as it is made by Sierra, but I always imagine Kings etc having a posh English accent, That's just the stereotype.<br><br>But the acting was done quite well, Hagatha was my favourite. <p></p><i></i>

YES! This is so exciting, Erpy was telling the truth all along, I was sooooo surprised, If I hadn't ran 5 laps in cross country then I proberly would of jumped in the air. Congratulations Tierra, as soon as KQ2 Voice Pack finished downloading I will download KQ2VGA V2.0. <br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://users.domaindlx.com/broomie/graham_talking.GIF" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:maroon;font-family:courier;font-size:large;"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">TIERRA!

I'd also like to applause the voice actors. I would have much rather it been released with the game, just because it takes some getting used to. I actually started to like connor. But with this voice... shudder. Not poorly acted, just different than I imagined. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.nancycarterdesign.com/bryce/pimpbot.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>----------<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.nancycarterdesign.com/spongefactory/" target="top">Sponge Factory</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i></i>

The only criticism I have about the voice acting (sorry to anyone who may be involved in this) is that IMHO the Sharkee king could have sounded a bit more menacing. Without the voice, I always visioned him shouting the whole time and sounding a lot more mad, but that's just my interpretation. Good job on a surprise release, it was unexpected but makes the game a whole lot better. <p>"Lose yourself in the music, the moment<br>You own it, you better never let it go<br>You only get one shot; do not miss your chance to blow<br>This opportunity comes once in a lifetime"</p><i></i>

Why doesn't Hagatha's voice change when she's transformed into the beautiful girl? <p></p><i></i>

The youth potion only works skin deep, as the death message says if you don't take action against her soon enough. <p>"Lose yourself in the music, the moment<br>You own it, you better never let it go<br>You only get one shot; do not miss your chance to blow<br>This opportunity comes once in a lifetime"</p><i></i>

How did everyone like the "preview" to the ending song?

Yeah, but would you really want Valanice to just say or whisper the words in that scene? That might clash with the music.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashh ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

I did a few of the voices for the game, and I am loving this voice pack. The Devs did a fantastic job of assembling voices from (literally) around the world, despite some of the problems involved. I'm just glad everyone is enjoying it!<br><br>Thanks again #1 <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Haha, seeing that the actual names are in the game credits, seeing you labelling yourself anonymous is a bit ironic.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nas ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

He already said what voices he had done in my thread, and his name is shown in the credits.

Oh YES!<br>I was a bit frustrated when I discovered the voice pack and all since I was out in the country and couldn't take down two huge files with a modem but then I went home and replayed the whole thing with the pack installed!<br>It was outstanding all the way through..<br>Graham, merchant, Valanice, Hagatha, pumpkins, cloud spirit were my favorite voices..<br><br>Without the voice pack the game was so professional that you couldn't tell it was a fan production, with the voice pack you could fool just anybody that this is an official Sierra release. I fooled my friends with that which was very funny. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>You Tierra guys just don't know when to quit.
