Developers may plausibly argue that there are virtually no decent voice actors up for hire. It is true, that is a fact. Decent voice actors with proper equipment come few and far between. By the same token, voice actors have considerable trouble collecting high-calibre show-reel material for future work as well as developers/teams that can actually facilitate this standard of work.
There is a desperate need for some form of synergism between developers and talent. Only then, can the inception of true professionalism take place. VAU is the answer to this problem. By creating a contact-base for both developers and quality voice acting talent, we can assure that games and high quality modifications have a go-to area for development needs.
Not to mention, we have created a very effective job forum for voice actors. Forget politics as well... This is membership only. Membership proves indicative of a voice actor’s talent. If the member experiences inappropriate treatment at the hands of a development team without due cause (and this happens ALOT)... you can forget receiving any future help from VAU people. And I assure you; the voice actor has to hold up their end of the bargain as well! Check out the group page for the criterion for VAU membership status.
Vau! "Vau" actually is "whoa" in my language, haha!
rofl :p nice one
good idea tough since there arent that much (talented) voice actors
Oh wow this is exactly what i've been looking for my mod is desperate for voice actors i mean truly we need some great ones, with decent equipment i hope this group gets a lot more recognition
Great idea. I'll be sure to give you a call if I ever need anything. :)
Only 1 member so far but he is talented :D
Lets hope more people join.
Go Baza, fill the demand!
lol.
Awesome idea :D I wish you the best of luck!
Hope this group takes off as it's something that is sorely needed.
I can voice act a bit. To my friends of course. Since I don't have no equipment to record my voice acting, I'm no pro or even amateur.
Even though Voice Acting is the only thing I can really do my mods, this isn't for me since I don't have the best equipment and I'm no pro or even close to a pro.
Please! All voice actors join him because I need to be able to find you all when we're ready to VA Neuromancer :D, It'd be great if people joined.
Thanks for the comments lads. It's a big hole to fill, but I'm hoping it will get off the ground! Cheers!
Ok, I'll at least consider it.
Now if only there was one for skinners :P
I don't know whether I should join since I am already part of the Bluehell Group, a division of Bluehell Productions which is similar to this.
I would if I were you. It doesn't matter if your in another dev group. If you want work and recognition, VAU is for you.
Hi, this Voice acting is still alive?
I'm working on a modification for left 4 dead and in need some voice actors. :)
