Them's Fightin' Herds story mode fandub
DeDeSans for Narrator/"game" voice
The voice of the game, giving you technical information while you play story mode. May or may not also be the narrator at the beginning of the prologue. Can be male or female.
If male, I would like the voice to sound like Aaron Stavely, the game's studio manager and head of narrative design. You can hear his voice in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir0o1x6giag or one of his other videos: https://www.youtube.com/@aaronstavely7777
If female, I would like the voice to sound like the game's official announcer, Jessica Gee-George. She has a somewhat Australian accent.Take a listen to this video I made to hear all of her voice lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLtpYy0CAx0 In an old developer stream from the Indiegogo crowdfunding days, the announcer's accent was described in-universe as being "Ancient Foenician".
Beta (Chris Huval), a programmer on the game, once said this about the announcer (I presume he was talking about the announcer, but the PDF I'm looking at doesn't give the full context): "like an old experienced woman who's been through too much shit to take anything seriously anymore".
I may or may not decide to split this into two roles.
- english
- female adult
- male adult
- american
- australian
- authoritative
- understandable
- informative
- friendly
- Cheeky
[as a narrator] Reine City, Capital to the nation of The Tundra, just one of many nations in the world of... Foenum. For the first time in countless generations, the Foenum Council of Ungulates has been reformed and now convenes to discuss a matter of utmost urgency...
[as if you're a Dungeon Master in a tabletop roleplaying game] A simple oil lamp. That cow was very insistent on keeping the cave lit. You could still turn it off, if you feel like being a beef jerky. Really turn this lamp off?
[giving instructions to the player in story mode] You're under attack! Time to arm yourself with the right tools for battle. Strike with Light, Medium, and Heavy. Use Magic for unique abilities! But your opponent isn't going to just stand there and wait around! Be ready for their attacks! Hold down-back, back, or up-back to block. That's any direction AWAY from the main enemy! Hold down-back to block while crouching. This also protects you from LOW attacks. Block crouching when both you and your opponent are on the ground, which is most of the time!
I like your energy, but this isn't the kind of narrator voice I'm looking for, sorry. I haven't made my final decisions for the other characters, though!
