I'd love to! My voices are limited though: I have the Received Pronunciation (BBC English) accent normally, but I can also handle a stereotypical Indian accent (think the SuperCodPlayer1995 parodies) and a stereotypical Malaysian Chinese accent (since I was brought up there).
I'm not sure which one would suit me just yet, but I'm staying away from the computer unless I get to say 'Holy crap!' o.O
Is it because the Board Computer says shit? If you're more comfortable saying crap, go ahead. It's all the same to me. I think Received Pronunciation is fine. Stereotypical Indian and Malaysian Chinese accents are interesting but a little too exotic for this. Maybe for the next games that involve more human beings. The Board Computer may be the best part for you. It's the second most important character in the first game. I wanted to have more females, but you're the first in thirteen people who have shown interest. You could also try out for other characters. Shroud may be interesting. I want it to sound very friendly but with a hint of deception.
Alright. Do you have a Skype handle/are you on the NG Audio Portal Skype group? It'll be easier to send files that way.
Alternatively, I have Dropbox -- and the reason why I say this is because WAVs are annoying to send through e-mail.
I have Skype, but I don't use it much. I don't know what Skype handle is. I'm not in the NG Audio Portal Skype group. I can download your files from Dropbox if you send me the link, thanks.
I'm extremely intrigued, but I feel I need a little something more about the characters to really understand the context of their lines. Cuz as cool as the characters seem, I find it hard to know which kind of "machine voice" you're trying to get, especially when (for example) torch's lines seem more like a cybernetic-enhanced kinda guy and not a random security drone (which I could submit as well, if you want). But yeah, please pm me some stuff if you're interested, cuz 9 out of 10 times, user profiles whack out on my home wifi, even my own.
PS. It's kind of ambiguous where Shroud's lines end and the update picks back up, so just keep that in mind if you wanna reformat some stuff above.
Ok, I'll give you some more details. I left it open because I wanted to hear what specialty each voice actor has. I'm still very open to suggestions, and to set every voice apart, what voice one character will get depends on what all the others end up sounding like.
- For Hank I had in mind just a traditional hero voice. Could be a young man in his early twenties who's still a bit green and hardly ready for the big wide universe. But I'm leaning more and more to a more bad ass action hero like a Bruce Willis character. Could be something in between as well.
- Board Computer has a friendly monotonous computer voice (with no intelligence), but who occasionally goes out of character with a totally hysteric over the top voice like in the part "Never produced in a- Holy shit! Behind you!". I had a female voice in mind since it's the only good guy in the first game that could be a woman. If there are a lot of female villains or if we get great male auditions it could have a male voice as well.
- Iron Hawk and Steel Eagle have the same voices (most likely). I had a bird like skreeching voice in mind. Or a militaristic voice. Like a Nazi officer without a German accent.
- Torch is described to be shaped like a Donut. He's more brawn than brains. So not too intelligent. Maybe a low dumb but arrogant voice. Or a very hateful voice.
- Factory is already described sufficiently. I have a hard time finding such a voice btw, since most voice actors on NG are young, and Rockbiter sounds quite old.
- Shroud should sound refined and possibly friendly. I was thinking about a high harmless kind of voice. Or voice that fakes friendliness, but betrays a certain menace. Possibly a low voice like a Disney Villain (Jeremy Irons, Tony Jay, Christopher Lee).
"Now may I ask what is your name" is Shrouds final line. I put enters between the lines and the update, but Newgrounds removed them. It often removes spaces and enters to save space. Next time I put accolades around each line of text, or something like that.
Is this still open? And would their be monetary compensation? I'm very interested in helping you out.
Not any more sorry. We've recorded all of the voices we want for the first game. We may need more for the second (sequel), but we don't know yet when and how we're going to do that.

Ooo, sounds interesting. What's the game's rating gonna be? : )

You mean the age rating? I'm not too familiar with the rating system in games, but there's no blood, no nudity, no sex, no sex jokes, no scares, no drug use, no drug references, no racism, barely any swearing (I counted the word shit twice but that's it). The violence is restricted to standard video game action. All of the villains are robots. Pretty boring now I think about it. But almost everyone should be able to play it, so that's a good thing. Are you interested to voice a character?
