I can do a voiceover if you want a 53yo Adelaide woman
you will obviously need to convert the renamed from txt mp3 to wav for D|S in Audacity
Hoo ha! Crocodile! I am honored! Thank you!
You have a clear voice, and you enunciate. I'll bet you would lipsync well. You've done it, I'm sure.
Hearing your voice, what would be a distinctive accent here in the US, makes me realize that in my mind, all my characters actually do sound a bit like me. I hadn't realized that.
too often on youtube sadly and yeah people do tell me its better than the text to speech and virtual singer I am known for. TSS is not popular.
That was pretty much what I thought it was . thanks for posting the demo wolf
I find alot of voices for back ground fill on Soundcloud. with CC3 licenses . Also a good place to find stuff for ryolaty free sounds, but they can be rather high in some of their pricing is called sound dogs. they have tons of sound effects and Voices. Movie sound tracks etc. A few are free you got to search through the site. but a lot of the sound files you got to pay for .but worth it, if you need a certain recognizable sound .
Sounddog.com
I think I may have used some of the sound dog freebies in the past
I have become quite the scavenger when it comes to 'Environmental sound design" for my animated films
I have a huge libray I have currated for years
Particularly foley effects
of course being a Mac as well as PC user My mac machine came with a large collection of sounds as part of "Garage Band"for the Mac OS
BTW if you ever need some free police/military radio chatter adudio
This site has some good clips

I have hunted and gather myself..lol Plus now I learning to make a fair mount of sound effects with my H2n recorder I just recorded a Ninja Motorcycle for a animation I did that came out pretty good and the kid was excited to race up and down the street for me..lol . I am in need of some hevey truck sounds. If I really need voice actors . like I said I usually grab any unexpected visitor to my office and have them read a few line for me.. You be amazed at many people just don't know how to act & end up sounding like robots. or over acting , so I usually let them read the script a few time then take it away and let them ad lib it . I get better results that way.
I wouldn't be amazed. In high school, they had a "speech class." I didn't take it, and I didn't figure out what it was for for a long time. I thought it was for people who had trouble getting their mouth to form words. I felt sorry for them. It was actually for people who wanted to make speeches. They practiced using a tape recorder, a big reel-to-reel job. Most people get self-conscious very easily. If you think a microphone wierds them out, try to get them on a webcam.
Oh, a fellow name 'Stage Fright' backed out the starring role of a 5th grade play day before the play and I volunteered after a few minutes of our poor teacher being in that awkward spot of a having to put on a full play in front of about 500 students and teachers and parents and having the lead back out. Still only play I've even been in. By some minor miracle, I learned all the lines in time for the play and timed my lines perfectly without a rehersal and was feeling pretty good about not flubbing it up when out in the hallways after the play a classmate told me I completely messed up the plurality of the vowels: "bells that ring" became "bells that rings" and "kookoos that sing" became "kookoos that sings" and so on...
Of course the teacher told me that was OK and lucky I didn't catch it on stage or I might of really flubbed up.
As I said, I'll read, just PM me, I'm not particularly interested in signing legal documents to read a few minutes of text and if by some bizarre miracle people here my voice and think, "OMG, it's like butter!" (LOL, not!) well i don't think the lack of a contract is going to stop actual monetary offers from coming my way to engage my prodigious talent.
If one wants a contract though send it, I'm not afraid of one either.
Well count me as interested... being from Iowa puts me in the North Midland zone for what it's worth!
Very interested in making some small/short videos with DAZ myself.
As for voice/accent I can do a bit of variation. Just scooped up a great deal on Amazon for a new mic/amplifier/boom/shield setup all for about the regular price of the microphone! I do some whiteboard type sketch videos and decided to use my own voice after some positive comments from people I consider knowledgeable.
As for legal I think signing a simple agreement that says you have permission to use a voice and the scope of use is easy and valid. Keeps someone from claiming you stole their words/recording from something else and getting the project pulled.
There is no question in my mind that modern IP law is anti-creative. I think there's a way around it, too. I suspect the answer may be found in the world of "open source" software. Someday I'll have to look into it. Right now I have other things to do.
Once, during a during a conversation with an attractive young lady of my acquaintance, she looked into space and said, "I don't think I'll get married again." I was a bit surprised. I didn't know she was seeing anyone. It was a small town. I asked her then, "Has someone asked you to marry them?" No, she said. No one had asked her to get married. I told her she might want to wait till she was asked before she turned it down.
Legal agreements won't make me or you a better artist, or be more productive, or learn faster. I see people who have no more work to show than I do, which is zip, but who think they need a legal agreement to lift a finger. It might be best to actually produce some work, before you worry about somebody stealing it.
The creative arts are one of the few occupations that will survive the coming of the robots. Since we won't live long enough to see a computer that will enable a lone individual to make Avatar, we'll have to learn to work as a team like the big boys do, if we wish our work to succeed.

What do you want your talent to say? You're talent which will also be a producer of their own productions might or might not ask you to sign a release form giving them permission to use your voice if you agreed to trade your voice for theirs in each other's productions. In this over saturated market, nobody is expecting to make any money from this. This is for barter. This is for fun. YouTube is covering their assets and the producers are providing the entertainment plus having required proof in case of dispute with third forth fifth parties claiming falsehoods. Of course if you prefer the producer you bartered with should lose the claim against seventh party and the artwork that is automatically taken down not be able to be put back up except elsewhere, sounds great. Why bother? One of the raison d'etre of art is for it to be exhibited.
I think for the time being, I will look elsewhere for my talent.
What you are describing is a by product of the larger online culture.
The endless need for personal validation by
modern humans is increased by an order of magnitude
in online "communities"
People typically 'Chime in" on subjects
about which they dont actually care or are involved with just for the sake of being validated for their "Knowledge"
many believing that having the ability to conduct a google key word search is the modern day equivalent of being "educated" or some kind of "expert".
Take animation & Genssis 3 for example;
Those of us who actually animate characters and have
actual character animations online to show that we do , listed the reasons
why Genesis 3 is a technological step backwards for people wanting use DAZ studio for character animation.
A certain merchant of G3 male products would always
appear to tell us that we have no clue what we were talking about.
posting all kinds of links to advanced Motionbulder & Iclone pro tutorials where you can take ANY FBX rig and make it function with enough patience and re rigging
While he himself has never used Motionbuilder, Iclone or DAZ studio or Poser to create a single solitary Character animation.
Alas thats the nature of the internet we have to get used to it.
I know your just trying to be funny. But I assure you a 1100CC Suzuki Ninja is not electric..lol
your need to change the txt to MP3
I know what you mean about camera shy. even today when I play music on stage for a small crowd I still get butterflies. I have since retired from playing in bands, but I I still play pretty good for a old lady..lol
I have no issues reading some lines for anyone who asks,
just saying,
I can even plonk the results on soundcloud to download with CC license.
that should cover any issues.
Very good playing and for anyone familiar with the voices of the original singers of the song, it's those type voices that would never make it to the radio playlists of today with all the the autotuning.
Playing like that you are quite busy in Gatlinburg & vincinity if you want to be. I used to visit my Great Grandparents all the time as a little boy in Kingsport.
Alvin Toffler wrote about the societal changes brought about by technology. It's a subject that's worth bearing in mind when we use this medium. It can take courage to present one's self and work on the net. John Dvorak recently wrote a piece called The False Promises of the Internet. And he's right. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since the early days of idealism.
The printing press allowed the common man to read and write. This influenced history for hundreds of years in ways both good and bad. The internet allows the common man to publish - for what that's worth.
Each animation tool seems to have a different culture. I've said before, I like the dynamic of the Daz forum crowd. When I get help (which I need often) and encouragement from the people here, I appreciate it.
And there is always the IGGY button. :-)

Sometimes rarely when us girls go out, we'll go to a Karaoke Bar in Pigeon forge near Dollywood. thats a fun place. But where i live in NE Tennessee when I do go out to a club or bar. I usually always get asked to play a song or 2. I played in different bands for years around here, mostly for piano, or sometimes as Bass or as back up guitar. so people know of me in these parts .But I never did anything famous. Though there is a bar in Winston/Salem NC that we sometimes go too. that I've seen some celebrties like Faith Hill came in and sing which is pretty cool , and in Asheville NC in the spring they have a music festival that is a blast to go to and anyone with a nerve can go on stage & play sing.
Thanks for the compliments. I have been playing for about 35 years so I guess it might show a litle...lol I Use to play a lot in my younger days mostly cover bands . But now days I am very happy to take care of my grand kids an watch the world go by.
heres a sound track demo I did a few years back
It's says playback has been disabled by the video owner. I used to play fiddle quite good as a boy but no more. I rely on my singles collection instead, like relying on DAZ Store for art. LOL.
Sorry about that it should work ok now
That sounded good, it reminded me of a some of the tracks on the soundtrack of "Amelie" in style.
Thanks this was done a while ago. The piano & keyboard is my specialty, Guitar came later. I really like to play music like Enya and Celtic women and I really enjoy playing Evanescence so I can see having a Amelie style of playing
You listed some people. But what about folks like me? We're out there. Maybe we're not so vocal - but then again I'm usually working. And then I'm working. And sometimes I'm working. :-p I'm only just getting into animation, but I try. So do others.
Why don't we just start a "show off your animations" thread then? I'm working on one now, although I admit it will be a while before I'm done.
