Hello The Helper Forums members,

I'm new here, but I figured this would be the best place to start for help with my Warcraft III Machinima project. This project will be shown at a film festival in Australia and will serve as an example of serious machinima. The script and storyboard and all that stuff is complete, and the project is going into production in two week's time. It will be filmed with Snaps Pro X and post production will take place in Final Cut Pro.

Anyway, onto what I actually need from the forum's members, voice actors! There are many speaking parts in this 10 minute film, and I'm pressed for time in finding the actors. Every actor will have their full name listed in the credits, and if you have a website or something you want to promote, I'll list that next to your name.

I don't want to be one of those people who list their email or who are just using the forum as a means to an end, so if you're interested just respond to the thread and we'll organise a way for you to send your audition.

Ok, now onto the parts!

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -

Main: The main character (yet to be named). He's a swordsman and the leader of a rag-tag military group. He's strong and brave. His voice should be deep, American, around 30-40 years old. Master Chief from Halo is a prime example of what this guy should sound like. He has the second largest speaking part.

A sample line: (Addressing a messenger): Take this message to the wizard, Mith'Templar: It is I, Main. I have answered your call for help and I come to aid you against the threat. Expect my warriors and I in three days time.

Lieutenant: (Actually called lieutenant) He's a wizard of around 25-30 years old (or so it seems). His voice has an American accent, but it's not as deep and raw as Main's. He speak's properly, without shortening words. Malfurion is a prime example of what this guy should sound like. He has the largest speaking part.

A sample line: These rains are of the Riverwood region, we are close.
OR
I'm anxious to meet him. We have much to discuss in the way of battle plans.

Castle Soldier: This guy is technically three guys. He is basically exactly the same as the footman from Warcraft III. He's just your generic soldier who only has a few speaking lines, and should sound as much as the footman from Warcraft III as possible (British adult).

A sample line: All clear! You can come in now!

Captain: This guy only has a few speaking lines. American adult, doesn't really matter what age, as long as they sound adult.

A sample line: So I understand you can summon large armies of creatures

Sorcerer: This guy has one line. His model file is night elf, and he's male. I guess any male night elf voice should be fine, but I am quite fond of the Druid of The Claw character voice, so if you can imitate that, you're a star in the making :p.

A sample line (only line :)): I had a much larger army, but we were hounded by demons day and night.

Archer: The only female in the production. She should sound like a female night elf, or the sorcerer unit in the human army. Basically American female, but the accent doesn't matter too much.

A sample line: As were we. We barley saved our capital city from an entire battalion of them.

Demon Henchmen There a few of these guys, and there voices should ideally sound like orc grunts. Anyone who has a good demon voice should audition for this.

A sample line: Burn them to the ground!

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --- -- -- -- -- --- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Well that's it, I hope I can find some good actors. Being a student I can't pay for your work, but this project will be shown to a mainstream audience so if you're a budding voice actor, this is a good way to get your name out.

Thank you very much for all who wish to participate!

(Oh and I almost forgot to mention, there is no prize offered at the film festival, I will not be profiting from this)

Same as fire-wolf, I could probably try and make my voice sound adult-like if I tried, but that would be straining and pushing it. Good luck! Show us the video if you can when it's done. :D

I can do an irish and russian accent, i've toyed around with others but the russian is by far my best.

I don't know how much help i'll be, as i don't have the highest quality mic, but i'd be willing to try.

Thanks for the offer of help. Unfortunately with the script and all the voices are kind of set in stone. I wonder where to go for this sort of thing :/

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
