Announcer Voiceovers:
Numbers: Containing the building blocks to construct 0 to googolplex, plus various "you have murdered 23 low resolution sprites" and "45 miles and two feet remaining" style announcer words and phrases.

Character Dialogue:
Edutainment Mascot: Basically a Sonic the Hedgehog impersonation. Meant for educational games or mascot platformers. Or not. Over 30 lines of dialogue, questions, and grunts.

Samurai: Poorly-dubbed American voice not even trying to do a Samurai. About 75 lines of dialogue, questions, taunts, and grunts.

The Gentleman: John Cleese meets Henry Hatsworth meets an American with a sore throat. About 40 lines of archaic profanity, shouts, and snide accusations.

WTF:
Videogame Vocal Nostalgia: Terribly recorded and performed reenactments of terrible videogame dialogue from terribly written games.
Radio Distortion: Heavily distorted dialogue and monologues.



I need a better microphone. And some more talent couldn't hurt.
Bought a better microphone. Talent will come later, if at all.

I'll try to record some original character dialogue once I get that annoying static worked out. Thinking about making some standard sayings for a few campy character voices (annoying cartoon mascot, gruff soldier, poorly dubbed hero):

• Various yes/no questions
• Yes
• No
• Maybe
• Who are you?
• I'm ...
• Taunt
• Oof (hurt)
• Death scream
• Laughter
• Anything else?

Ideally, the dialogue should be such that a developer could patch together a generic, awful videogame story piecemeal. Even more ideally, a developer would be able to piece together a completely incomprehensible spoken word piece. Hopefully will have time to actually do this.

I think one very useful piece of dialogue (or ten pieces rather) would be a countdown...

[Noyb]

Great idea!

Finally got a new microphone, so I recorded the numbers 0-19. The tens 20-90. The words "hundred" "thousand" "million," "trillion," "quadrillion," and "googolplex," and "and." Also recorded a tiny smattering of announcer style phrases that would use numbers, such as "your score is under 0" or "27 orphans remaining" or "you have collected 4 trillion enemies."

Numbers (1 mb)

I heartily encourage using one or all of these sound files out of context.

Got some free time to work on some random vocals. First up is the Edutainment mascot, which is pretty much my Sonic the Hedgehog voice from Macarena of the Missing.

Mascot Dialogue (1.4 mb, about 40 lines of dialogue)

Each character will have greetings, goodbyes, various questions, yes/no answers, groans of pain, random in-game taunts, and miscellaneous "plot" lines. Mix and match as many as you like. As above, I highly encourage you to use these lines however you see fit, especially when it doesn't make an ounce of sense. I'll try to get at least a few more done before the deadline.

Edit:

Samurai Dialogue (1.4 mb, about 75 lines of dialogue)

[Noyb]

Creepy distorted dialogue, as requested by r.kachowski

Radio Distortion (1.7 mb. 7 lines. 10-90 seconds each.)

[Blaizer]

Listened to all of these. Some really nice work!

[Noyb]

Thanks!

Added a new character:
The Gentleman (900 kb, 43 lines)

[William Broom]

I love the samurai, hopefully I can find a way to fit his voice into my game...

[zpxlng]

Just downloaded and listened to the Edutainment Mascot. Thanks for making me giggle.

[Hideous]

I think I'm gonna put some of these in my game, as completely random responses to... stuff.

[Martin 2BAM]

"Because you're an idiot, the earth just exploded"
I've laughed out loud to this like a nutcase xD


You did it again man, you rule

[Healy]

Is there any way you could set up mp3 samples of these?

[Noyb]

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Looking forward to seeing how they'll be used in the competition.

Is there any way you could set up mp3 samples of these?

Eh, why not.

Sampler: A 45 second sampler of a few of the numbers and characters thrown together as hastily as the recordings themselves. (750 kb)
