Things to avoid when doing audio for a game...

[Rafael Dyll]

Fellow musicians (and everyone else really),

Just in case you're busy doing voice overs for a game right now, make sure to check this out and hence avoid a terrible mistake...

Madde me chuckle a lot, especially the Resident Evil stuff.

Best,

Thanks for reminding me of this site.
BTW.: Had done some "voice acting" (the swearing contest) for DHS and never heard again of the project...

ok alltogether kids -

directors cut -

idiot 1 - im gonna find out what caused forests death.. it looks like he was killed by a crow or something

player - OK... Go outside stand still and hold this sign that says " i am a bloody moron, i ask questions and then answer them in the same sentence please kill me in the most violent and bloody fashion involving many blunt impliments and fire.. lots of fire." and come back when you discover what caused forests death with the crows... moron.

Sounds like an everydays conversation at the place they held m...errr... I worked at.

Stupid: "Hey, what's this?! Looks like a scalpel!" (grabs a scalpel out of my pencil case)
Me: "Keep your fingers off!" (looks angry)
Stupid: "It's pretty sharp, isn't it?" (takes off protective cap and mimicks Erol Flynn)
Me: "Put it down!" (jerks away from stupid, looking VERY angry)
Stupid: "OWW! This f***ing...DAMMIT!" (has cut himself and throws away the scalpel which hits the floor and breaks)
Me: "MORON!" (is about to snap stupids' neck. That was an expensive scalpel)
Stupid: "I got to see a doctor! And a lawyer!" (weeps and creeps away)
Me: "..."

(If you wonder why I had a scalpel at work: I use it with paperwork...and sometimes I would like to use it on a certain kind of people )

Heh, Resident Evil was laugh a minute stuff.

"What? What is this?"
"What is it?"
"Blood. I hope this is not Chris' blood."
"What is it?"

Silent Hill was good too. Harry sounds like he's on drugs.

"Hmm... School. She's at the school."

Whoa man! She might be! Trippy.

I personally think that part of what made resident evil so popular was the bad dialogue. Everything about the game reeked b-movie horror, and I know that is what made me like it (I'm big into b-grade horror like Night of the Living Dead).

[Vosla]

It's a long way from Night of the Living Dead (original) to Resident Evil with a media and audience switch. Most of that horror film addicts can't use a console game or computer but Resident Evil might lure them into trying.
