American Voiceover

[Hiyy]

I just recently lost a very close friend of mine of 10 years who also played PR. I flew down for the funeral a few weeks ago and have been trying to get settled again so that I can rerecord some of stuff that sounds less professional or believable, but it's taking a bit longer than anticipated due to my whole foam room being in another city right now.

we Canadians demand more "eh"

Me and Anders actually had a discussion about reworking some of the comma rose for the Canadians that would add bit of slang and make them sound a bit more unique in-game, but it would have taken up too much space in the update/ been to time consuming to actually apply.

To be fair I have never noticed Canadians using "eh" more than Americans, and being Canadian you can't be able to stomach all the bullshit like "aboot" and so on. Please don't go full retard if you want to give it more of a "Canadian" vibe, because short of a slight accent some of us have we sound exactly the same on the whole.

[Insanitypays]

Only do the canadian voices if you can make them all sound like Terrance and Phillip

[Murphy]

Actually I could back that.

Whatever happens just keep the US Commander, Acemantura's voice is on point.

Oh, good, there is a thread for this.

While I absolutely love the community input on this, I prefer the old voices of grunts & squad leaders.

Most of the unfiltered voice overs lack the feel of "I am saying this". They sound like recorded through a headset microphone. This can be partially fixed during post production but a bad source is a bad source. The fact that some of them are distorted (mic too close to mouth? too much limiting/compression in the after-production?) does not help it sound natural. Some of the lines are silly - "we need repairs on this marker"? Although I think the marker thing was on the british voices.

I'd roll back to the original BF2v voices if I could.

Good Evening,

I would love to hear more Redneck / Southernisms.




Now this one is funny, some of them I've heard all the time growing up (start about 1:05):



Now some of these below would really work with a bit of tweakin (start about 0:45):

I could do with the fall back command being changed to "We're in a tight spot".

Just imagine it, you're inside a bunker and the Russians are closing in. They throw a nade in, it explodes, and all they hear in return is "Damn! We're in a tight spot!"

I loved that scene
