🗣🔊 OC Voice Acting Thread

Just when you thought it was over...
OC Voice Acting Thread...

...PART THREE: THE REVENGE

Time for another reboot! After the first and second proved to be fun-but-not-eternal, I've figured this thread works best when re-made every now and then, rather than bumped, since the thread inevitably gets a bit convoluted after a while. Here's hoping third time is just as much of a charm !

✨WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT✨

Ever wanted to try voice acting? Or, maybe you'd like to hear someone else having a go at bringing your OC to life? If so, you've come to the right place! The aim of this thread is for people to post and/or act a few lines of each other's OCs.

✨HOW TO PLAY✨

The rules, if you're already familiar with them, are gonna be pretty much the same as last time.
This thread has the potential to get very complicated (so please read the full post) -- here's what to do:

If you're looking to receive a little bit of voice acting:

Post IC, with some lines for your character. Anything from a handful of one-liners to a longer monologue is okay. You can leave some kind of instruction for how you'd like the lines to be delivered, or just leave it up to the actors interpretation.
EXAMPLE POST:
- (posting IC as Chris) Hey, here are some lines for my character Chris. Chris is a young boy, so he has a high-pitched voice. He tends to talk loudly, and his tone is a little nasal. Also, he is a ghost, so if you can add a kind of spooky echo effect that would be cool.
  - [sadly] "Oh I am so alone. What is a rowdy and rambunctious boy like myself to do?"
  - [exited] "Ahh, I can't wait to go poke around in the dirt and catch some cool bugs!"
  - [Chris just laughing in a rowdy and rambunctious manner]
  - [scared] "Who's there!? Oh god, I hope it's not the poisonous lions again..."
  - "Why did the plane crash?" [pause for effect, barely stifling giggles, before delivering the punchline] "Because the pilot was a loaf of bread!" [bursts out laughing]
You can add a preference for the kind of voice you want, (e.g. masculine/feminine, deep/high, gentle/brash, a specific accent, ect)... just keep in mind the actors here will have to work with what they've got-- you might not get the exact voice you're looking for! You can also request special effects and other stuff, but again, they might not be possible depending on who's acting.
If your lines happen to take anyone's fancy, you might get a claim! (Please edit your post once you get a claim, to let people know you got something already)
Keep in mind that you might not get a claim! After all, people in this thread will be doing stuff For Free, so your lines/character may not get chosen, or your characters might not suit the voices of any actors around here. No hard feelings!
You can post as much as you like, just don't expect to get a claim for everything. Or anything, necessarily.
This thread is a free-for-all: You can't get skipped! Just post your lines, and if someone finds your post and wants to have a go reading them, they will. Posts will likely not be in order. This is okay, everyone just has to make sure they ping who they're claiming so nothing gets lost.
Don't be mean to anyone if their voice isn't what you wanted/expected! This thread is just for fun! It's nothing serious, anything you get will be for free, and done out of the kindness of the actor's heart
Remember to thank your actor if they decide to perform your lines! <3

If you wish to claim for someone, and do a little voice acting yourself:

Find a post with lines that you wanna try acting.
Comment with your claim, and ping the recipient to let them know you're claiming!
Then get ur drama on and record yourself voice acting the lines that were provided
Link or PM your recipient the file of your glorious voice
Edit your original post to let people know your claim's been completed and sent!
You can claim as much a you like! Just remember to follow through :'o
Try to polish up the audio a little, if you're able to. If you can edit out long pauses or mistakes I'm sure it'd be appreciated! There's plenty of free software you can use (audacity is good!)
- At the same time, no pressure! There's no quality standard here-- It's totally fine if you're not the best actor in the world, or if your audio setup isn't great, or if you can't edit your recordings. The aim is to try your best and have fun, not be perfect!
If you'd like to add relevant special effects (like, weird effects for robot/ghost/monster characters, for example) go nuts!
If someone's lines have already been claimed, you're still free to give them a go if they call to you, but priority should be on posts that haven't been acted yet.
Keep in mind that this is just for fun. You likely won't be getting anything in return for your effort, so don't expect to be reimbursed! The aim of the game is to just have a good time.

Some other rules:

Keep things PG! Swearing is okay, but lewd stuff is best avoided.
Please be kind and courteous! Don't demand things of people, and remember to thank people if they put in the effort to act your lines, even if they're not what you were expecting! Likewise, if you're acting, please try and put at least a little effort in, and don't use it as an opportunity for any kind of meanness. Don't get jealous if someone else gets a claim and you don't, that's the nature of a thread like this (and there's a chance you'll get claimed later!)
Please don't repost the same lines even if you didn't get a claim! Once they've been up for a few day's you're welcome to add them to the Unclaimed sheet for other actors to find!
Be nice! Have fun!

✨HELPFUL RESOURCES✨

If you're not so experienced in dealing with audio, fear not: there are plenty of good resources out there, some of which I'll try to list here
(Let me know if you have any other recommendations!

Free Audio Editing

Audacity - a free audio editing program I really recommend!

Free Places to Upload

Chirbit - you need an account, but it's pretty nifty
Vocaroo - potato audio quality, but you dont need an account
Dropbox - again, you'll need an account but hey
Google drive - google already owns the rest of your life, why not
etc etc there are more

Other Helpful Stuff

VLC Media Player - a free media player, which also lets you convert audio from one format to another

✨UNCLAIMED POSTS✨

I've made a spreadsheet you can edit! If it's been a while and you haven't been claimed, feel free to add yourself to this list. If you complete a claim for a person from this list, remove their listing. If you're thinking of doing some acting, have a look at these ones first c:

> here's the sheet <

Phew! Thanks for sticking with me through all that. Hopefully people can have some fun in this thread! If you have any concerns, or any ideas of how to get things running more smoothly, please ping or PM me and let me know!

Aarix

aaa IC glitch strikes again.... _sorry_persimmon_{but u will not be modding this thread even tho i do trust u with my life 😔}

I haven't got anyone to post right off the bat, but I likely will be doing some more acting this time! Gotta get some mileage out of my studio mic at last lmao :'v

Xaanik Aarix

Any accent, any gender-- Xaanik's voice is rather indeterminate on both fronts; a deep female voice would be ideal, I think. They speak in a calm, clear, soothing voice most of the time. It is very easy to listen to--albeit rather soporific. Think the voices of someone doing one of those guided meditations, lmao

[soothingly] "I'll give you something for the pain. You're going to be just fine, Morgan."
[bright but clinical] "Hello. Can I speak to the manager of this establishment? I am an entertainer. My act is quite unique!"
[like a hypnotist] "Just focus on the sound of my voice. How it pulls you further down. You are safe here with me, with my voice, with the sound."
[clinically] "Their defenses are weaker past the second Gate. If I can ferry even half a dozen mages behind their lines, the enemy's supply chain can be severed."
[angry now. oh no. Still soft, but seething w/ venom] "Aberration. Vile thing. Your existence is a stain, your existence is an error to be rectified by me."
[hypnotically again] "You've done everything you can. Now, it is time to rest. No need for worries anymore. No need for fighting anymore. All there is left to do... is sleep."
[so so warmly. to a new parent] "She has your eyes."

youre welcome 2 paraphrase/ad lib stuff as well! cheers c:

Junko salida

EDIT: i’ve already gotten something from this thread!

Oooh... I've always wanted to try my hand at voice acting! Hopefully more people will post here :D

Here are some lines I just came up with on the spot... I might add more later cuz its late right now. I have a voice claim for her but i'd rather leave it up for interpretation! i think its more interesting that way o___o

It's not my fault I didn't get anything done! I was JUST about to start but I had to cook for my little sister... and then for myself because I was hungry... and then I had to wash the dishes because who the hell leaves dirty dishes in the sink? ...I had so many other things to get done and then BAM! Suddenly its time to go to sleep!
Wow... the music you listen to is weirder than I thought!
It's just a ghost... be nice! Bet you wouldn't wanna be disturbed...

🥄 Silver 🥄 TheGreenSnek

This looks really interesting! Aaaahhhhh! If only I could submit everyone but I'm bad at writing lines! ;-;

Most of his personality, backstory and stuff can be found on his profile, but overall, he's the kind of person that just LOATHES people. He is very stern and serious, barely ever trying to show emotion towards anyone unless it is just to himself. If he ever does show emotion, it is usually pure anger and rage. He's very young so I imagine his voice would be similar to Revali from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but not as emotional, possibly even less sarcastic. But, his voice can also be up to interpretation so do what you will!

[excited / to himself] "What a BEAUTY of a specimen! Such brilliant colors, such immaculate and pure feathers! Just need to add these last finishing touches on my sketch and- [swap to frustration / anger] Oh I should've known you were going to fly away!"
[not focused / nodding] "Mhm...mhm...mhm... [unimpressed / annoyed] Are you done talking now? Now, shut your trap and find something else to do that doesn't involve me and your yap!"
[annoyed / frustrated / stern] "What do you want?"
[stern / completely done with everything] "Birds do not speak when they are unwanted. Now, leave me alone..."

Sorry if the lines are a little messy, but I hope one of you voice actors enjoy trying him out! ^^ I might add more characters later if this forum becomes kind of slow or if no one claims/does Silver. This is such an awesome idea Aarix! :D

lilligant

wallstaples i have been watching these threads for so long WAITING for an excuse to try a cutesier high-energy kind of voice and JUNKO ENDED UP BEING IT!!! i hope you like this sound for her!!!!!

salida

lilligant OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH... 😭😭😭🥺🥺 thats actually super close to what she sounds like in my head ;______; thank youuuu

KAMAL HALFLIZARD

here's my lizard! for voice, i think they'd sound masc leaning, most likely would have a lisp. chill, but a bit snarky.

EH, SAY WHAT YOU GOTTA SAY 'BOUT ME. I'VE HEARD WORSE.
i HEARD that, y'know. i just didn't feel like arguing.
woah, woah, woah, don't go pointin' that thing at me! there ain't no need to let this get THAT bad!
yeah, not even i can handle myself sometimes, haha.

SIMERULER jukeboxes

EDIT: I've already received something from this thread!

This is such a cool thread!! I've subscribed so I can wait until I find a character/voice quality that works for me to voice act, but in the meantime I figured I may as well put down some lines!

I've always had a tough time envisioning SIMERULER's voice because I don't have a real preference for how it sounds like, which I think makes them a good candidate for this thread! All I can really say is that they definitely don't have a deep voice, their voice may have a bit of a tinny sound to it, and they are a generally cold, frustrated, and angry character. Masculine, feminine, and androgynous sounding voices all could work for SIME, although I'd prefer something more in the androgynous range.

There's no pressure to get exactly what I described above, of course! I'm just interested to see how people would interpret them :)

(I tore a ton of quotes from my novel for this! There are a lot here, so feel free to pick and choose whichever ones you like best. I don't expect anyone to do all of them

[Enraged, talking down to] "Disgraceful. Once more you attack an innocent godthing without any remorse. Once more you disrespect your authorities. Once more you butcher the laws of this realm. I have said it before, but when I say it this time, I mean it more than ever: this will be the last time that you do this. Once more, and you will be exterminated. Is that clear? Can I get that through your skull?!"
[A pre-recorded message, polite and professional] "Dear my fellow godthing -- Your service and constant loyalty to the highest council has been unwavering and pure in form. I have found you to be one of my most reliable subjects. Not once have you made a mistake. No, your recent deadly encounter with Subject One was not a fault of any kind on your part. That was simply the way the gods intended things to play out. However, following signs from the gods themselves, I have decided that it would be best for us to drop you the case of Subject 1. Again, this is not due to a fault of your own. Godthings with skills such as yours are necessary to the vitality of the Heavenland… and, therefore, we have made the choice to lift the burden of Subject One’s case off your shoulders, not because you are unworthy of the job, but for your own safety. I trust that you will understand and obey, Fre’sa. May our lord be with you, forever and always."
[Calm, patronizing, and manipulative] "You deliberate because you know that I am right. Have they begun to rub off on you? Fre’sa, it is alright. These things happen to the best of us. I will engineer a device stationed outside of Subject One’s room that will wipe all of their influence on you straight off every time you exit. Then you will be truly freed from their evils. How does that sound?"
[Frustration and sarcasm] "Oh, what is it this time? Did Lee run out of eggs for the third time this month?"
[Hopeless] "See what I mean? That just proved my point. We are all a hopeless group of idiots, and now one of our clients is dead. Oh, my lord. What will we do now?"
[Realization, and then frustration] "His godthing… Of course. Subject One! They likely do not even know how to properly run the control board! How idiotic!"
[Self-blaming, high-energy, going off on a tangent] "Most of the population is laughing, but some are beginning to latch on. Soon there will be a new empire of those against the high council and the Heavenland will burn to the ground and it’ll all be my fault!"
[Hopeless, empty and battered] "No, Fre’sa… this time, it is different. It is personal. I can feel it, in the way they wrote their text. Their intentions are completely uncensored… how cruel. Yet of course I feel -- I know -- that I deserve this."
[Focused and stern] "I would have known where they had gone regardless of whether there were a trail or not. They only have one place that they know to go to."

biscuitygoodness

EDIT: i have already gotten a claim for changeling!!!

ampers-nd , i claim YOU!!!! (throws pokeball except an mp3 player falls out)

i did all of the lines!! i felt like it'd be more fun that way. here's the link!!! hopefully my voice isn't too far off because i don't think i sound that androgynous... ~~as much as id like to. nonbinary gang~~

i'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see if there's anyone else i can portray fittingly!

so, options for characters people can try and voice act!!! their lines are all in the dropdowns under their names. :]

SORRY ABOUT THE LENGTH I JUST RLLY LIKE WRITING STUFF, you obviously can choose to only do one character if you'd like! i included blurbs about their personality to get a feel for what they're about without having to read the lines themselves.

Valerie: She's cold, smart, and mature, but with a pretty big silly streak that really shines through if you know her long enough. Deals with suggestive themes.

[ serious, annoyed, but still businesslike ] Look, let's cut the shit. You're here for a service, I'm here to provide that service, and it's a luxury few can afford. I need to see the money before we move forward, bud.

[ bored ] Why does space have to be so big? What does a girl have to do to get some alien action around here? Sheesh.

[ inquisitive, genuine ] ... Really...? What kind of secrets would a guy like you have to hide? You seem so kind.

[ excited, like this is the best day of her life ] LOOK AT HOW MANY SILLY STRING CANS I CLONED WITH THIS THING!! And there's a bunch of different colors and stuff, too!!! Pick up a bunch of cans so we can have a duel!!

[ enraged ] OKAY, YOU DEFINITELY JUST GLUED THIS MILK CARTON TO THE FLOOR. (efforts to pick it up ensue) This MUST be some kind of horrible joke! You people are out to humiliate me!! Just for some information? Are you serious? ALL I WANT IS SOME CEREAL. ...Ok, so maybe it's not glued to the ground, maybe I can hardly pick up a piece of paper, but this is still your fault somehow and I'm gonna FIGURE OUT HOW.

Mary / Gemma / Walter / Charlie: Valerie's siblings. Four alters in a system with wildly differing personalities. Anxious / doting / cranky / sweet, respectively. Also, Charlie is four. :') They all share a body, so they all share a voicebox, but how they use it depends on who's fronting.

Mary

[ fearful ] But how could you see me? We're in broad daylight. Light just passes right through me like it's nothing! This can't be possible, this can't be. Wait... What if I'm dreaming?

[ curious, then realizing ] So this spaceship used to be someone else's? Did you buy it or... (gasp) Did you steal it!? This is a really big ship, Jerry! You could get in so much trouble for this!

[ annoyed ] Valerie, the whole kitchen is covered in olive oil. You could have at least washed your hands after your little photoshoot.

Gemma

[ annoyed ] Oh, I HATE when she does this. Our purse is gonna smell like Subway spinach for weeks.

[ sweetly ] You have some food on your face, honey. No no no, don't use your arm, let me get it for you, I have a napkin right here.

Walter

[ angry ] WHY do I always switch in at the WORST times? How on God's green Earth did you manage to make the engine melt down AGAIN? We just fixed this a week ago, David!!

[ awkward, painfully genuine ] So... I don't really know how to do this. Or say this. But uh... I appreciate your help today. It was maybe not as terrible as it could have been. So... thanks.

Charlie

[ sweetly ] I brought you a dandelion bouquet!! I picked them all myself!

[ serious, but innocent ] What's wrong? You never acted this way before... Something's different. The bad kind of different.

Changeling: She's extremely energetic, carefree, and a little annoying, but is incredibly tough when she needs to be.

[ excited, energized ] OH MY GOD, I just remembered it's ladies drink free tonight. My liver is so gonna get destroyed but it'll be worth it, this mountain village has some SEXY farmer ladies.

[ frustrated ] Why won't this beast just die already?!? I've hit it like... twice! ... Why are you looking at me like that, that's a lot more times than usual!!

[ trying to convince someone to hang out, casual ] Come on, what does missing one night of work matter? It's a once in a lifetime opportunity for the once a week hotdog eating contest!! C'mon, please?

[ tired, resigned ] Ugh... I think this is starting to really get to me. The "defeating the dark lord" stuff. This sounded fun, and it has been fun, but... I miss my family. I miss traveling for fun rather than purpose. I miss not having to deal with cold weather. I just don't know if I'm cut out for saving the world.

[ serious, imagine anime music playing in the background, this is the cheesy climax of the movie ] You may be strong... But you made one crucial mistake. You messed with my friends. And if you mess with my friends... I get to SHRED YOU LIKE CHEDDAR CHEESE! HYAH!

Tento: Evil little mischief orb. Only character listed here that would have a masculine voice. Very friendly. Always yelling.

[ formal but welcoming ] WELCOME, EVERYBODY -- TO THE DREAM SERMON! I'M HAPPY TO SEE SOME NEW FACES IN THE CROWD THIS TIME AROUND - AND FAMILY OF MY GOOD FRIEND NATHANIEL, NO LESS! LET'S GIVE THEM A SMALL ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

[ conniving ] YOU'VE BEEN INTRODUCING NEW BLOOD TO OUR VERY IMPORTANT CAUSE, WHICH IS INCREDIBLY NOBLE OF YOU... BUT YOU SEEM TO HAVE A MIND OF YOUR OWN. YOU HAVEN'T CONSULTED ME ABOUT THE ACTIONS YOU'VE BEEN TAKING, MATTHEW. DO YOU TRULY THINK THAT YOUR DECISIONMAKING SKILLS ARE SUPERIOR TO THOSE OF A GOD?

[ upset, weepy ] I'M JUST SO LONELY. I'M SO LONELY. ALL THE TIME I'M JUST SO LONELY AND IT'S KILLING ME... I WISH IT WOULD ACTUALLY KILL ME. I CAN'T EVEN DIE HERE. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR SO LONG JUST TO FIND PEOPLE TO TALK TO. AND YOU WANT TO DENY ME THIS? ONE OF THE ONLY OPPORTUNITIES I'VE HAD FOR COMMUNITY AND FRIENDSHIP AND EVEN JUST BASIC SOCIAL INTERACTION FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS? YOU WANT ME TO GO BACK TO BEING BLIND? I CAN'T. I JUST CAN'T DO IT. I CAN'T GO BACK.

jukeboxes

biscuitygoodness HI HI HI SORRY IM JUST...... AHHHHHHHH BECAUSE THIS TURNED OUT SO AWESOME... I think you did great for your first time voice acting tbh!! I love how you interpreted all their lines so so so much! And the bonus line you did at the end made me laugh so hard :D thank you so much for all the work you put into this!!!

Also, I intend to va for Changeling, so I guess count this as a claim for that -- I'll try to get to it later tonight when I'm done with work!

Okay, I finished! I'm not a voice actor at all, and I know that if I had an actual microphone the audio would have turned out better (it sounded a lot different irl and I just felt like I was shouting at my laptop lol) but I hope you like it anyways! changeling va

Vex ♥ veriitas

This seems cool! I've never really given much thought to her voice but it'd be neat to hear someone's rendition of her. <3

Female, I can imagine her having a somewhat low voice but still feminine sounding, similar to someone in their 20's; probably has a slight lisp; a little loud but not overly; can be soothing or harsh mainly depending on the situation. She's a literal alien so she'd generally be curious or unsure. I can give more details about her if necessary. Just some ideas but as long as the voice is recognizably female I'm okay with pretty much anything. Thank you! <3

[attempting to explain] “No, yeah−that exists where I’m from. I know what consumables are.”

[condescendingly] “I SAID that I KNOW what FOOD IS.”

[unsure] “I guess technically I could be considered a criminal?”

[concerned] “Do you know what you’re doing or…? I sure as hell don’t know what’s happening.”

[genuine, doesn’t know what Pokemon cards are] “Pokemon cards? That sounds like something I need.”

[slightly annoyed but not mean] “If you give me more soy sauce packets I’m going to drop kick you into oblivion.”

[slightly annoyed but not mean] “You’re not affiliated with me.”

[tired, confused] “It’s 2:34 am, we’re not going to In-N-Out.”

[tired, making an excuse] “Bruh I don’t even know how to drive.”

[smug, somewhat monotonous] “Haha yeah, get fuck’d.”

Reblod

(i know it's been a while but I've been a bit busy so hopefully soon)

Aarix I'm gonna have a go with Xaanik!

Will probably be done tomorrow

Joanne Nakano Akeya

If anyone would like to voice over my token party girl Joanne, please be my guest! She's 19, but I've always imagined her voice being a bit on the lower side? She's a woman of few words, but mischievous and playful at the same time.

[Drunkenly Excited] "Sunni! Can you order me another shot?"
[excited] "I'm home!" [a slight pause into a gentle tone] "Babe...? What's wrong? Why are you crying...?"
[Angry and Manipulative] "What?! What do you mean you won't buy me it?! I hate you!"
