[KotOR] Cheap shots with VOs

I preferred your version! Your accent is great, and the professional seemed lifeless. Did he view the scene in-game to see what was happening?

@AmanoJyakuTruth to be told, he didn't get to see the scene itself. He just recorded on script inputs from me but I did mention we were talking of a tortured, tired and angry person. I'm not sure it would have made much of a difference. But when I tested the actor's VO in the game I thought it did fit in quite nicely. Granted, it is not the best possible version but I think it's the best solution. 

My own take wasn't bad in my own opinion but I tend to dislike my voice and I'd honestly hear someone else's, especially if we are talking of a trained VA.

Nah, forget the VA. Yours is where it's at.

I think it could work either way, but I can't blame you for going with the VA due to the audio quality. But if you could get your hands on a really good mic, I'd go with yours.

Oh, and on the topic of improving KotOR through VO edits... What do you think of removing certain lines altogether? Some of Bastila's lines are particularly silly, in my opinion. The "For the Jedi!" line on the Leviathan feels a little out of place, and a couple lines on the Unknown World temple summit and Star Forge are just as goofy. It's been a while since I've actually played up to the end of the game, but I'll try to find the lines I'm talking about.

Hello everyone!

First of all, thanks for the interest in this topic. I have an additional request here for anyone wanting to do a couple of VOs for a Male Jedi.

I have just arrived at the Star Forge and the Jedi party there include three Jedi Males and one Female. All the three Jedi Males share the same VO and that is not really so pretty although I realize such situations are not uncommon through the game. Here I would like to do something about it so I was wondering if there are volunteers that might record these two following lines:

"The Sith will want to cut off our escape. We'll stay here and protect the ships so we can get out of here once you stop Bastila!"

"The Sith will want to cut off our escape. We'll stay here and protect the ships so we can get out of here once Malak's dead!"

It would be nice if @Sith Holocronsubmitted his own take. I'd need two distinct voice actors for this.

Thanks.
