During this session we worked on recording the voices for Master and the oins – both the villain within and the story and the creatures the character works with within the story. Both, me, jack and james all made attempts at recording and eventually went with my voice for master and Jacks for the oins which we would then edit to get a closer and more accurate result. We were given inspiration and details on how to voice the character as well as a script:
This was the first time I had ever voiced anyone/anything for a video game, but I tried to use the inspiration given to me to do the best villain voice I could. I later went on to do more takes in my own time as well as use pitch shifting, reverb and vocal transformer effects to finalise the result in which the MA students were happy with.
For the Oins, Jack voiced it using both the script and the inspiration. This was a lot more difficult compared to Masters voice as it was a mythical creature rather than a human voice. A lot of editing was required in post to make something accurate and something that represented the voice of the oins. However during the recording session we tried to get the sound of a high-pitched creature like voice as close as possible keeping the essence of the inspiration that was given to us.
