I have no idea what the average gamer's demographic is, but I'm pretty much that. Gaming for 20 years, modding for 6, I have a bad habit of jumping into bed with a game, modding the hell out of it then moving onto the next game. Hopefully I'll find my perfect partner. Currently playing (and modding) Dawn of War, Skyrim, Portal 2, Oblivion, Company of Heroes, Doom 3, several iOS games and Solitaire.

Report RSS Enter Phoenix - The Voices

Posted by on

I've been a musician, a producer, a mixer and dj for 16 years now and with that experience and qualification you would have thought it would be easy to make characters in the 41st Millenium easy to recreate. Well, unfortunately no.
Five races features in Enter Phoenix and by far the easiest to produce has been the Orks. Paul Wilson has been invaluable to this process, not least to the fact he has a musical and vocal background but also to the fact he can do accents - not least the 'cockney' Ork - very well. His background in death metal also helps.
I had auditions for vocals and still seeing a few but the main character, Celanae is now settled upon with actress, Sarah Brown taking the helm. As talented as she is, the Eldar voice was always going to be difficult to get the effect right. Think a mixture of Transformers and music interacting on a constant basis. The original voices for DOW and DOW2 were the basis but the method of creating the effect appear to be a closely guarded secret and you can forget about any tutorials on Youtube.
So, of course I had to recreate that as best as I could. It took a month. Yes, a month. Quite long in musical terms, but I finally cracked it. Hopefully it will sound amazing when mixed properly. But please have a listen on my mod page. She's a fantastic voice actress and has really got into the spirit of the grim darkness of 40K.

I also would like to make a shout out for any vocal artists for other characters as some have now let me down. I am looking for Tau in particular but also Imperial Guard and Dark Eldar

Happy Valentines Day
