Hey All! To kick off the month of November, Mechwarrior Living Legends team is holding a Betty contest!
Betty, as most of you know, is the sexy and sometimes sultry sounding voice of the Battlemech computers in the Mechwarrior series. What we'd like to do is have a little contest to see if anyones wives, girlfriends, daughters, friends can produce a Betty voice!
The winner(s) will be showcased in the November Newsletter for MW:LL and
possibly included into the first release of the mod!
not guaranteedWhat you need to do:
(1) Obtain Girlfriend/Wife/Daughter/Female Friend (or if you are one, skip this step)
(2) Record a line from Mechwarrior Betty's (Bottom of this post are some example lines)
(3) Host the file somewhere
(4) Post link here!
Recording Format: 44khz, 16bit, Mono
File formats we will accept:
.ogg, .wav, .mp3
Here's an example file my girlfriend did:
http://landrosradick.shackspace.com/Mech/AP-AYT.wavWe'll be providing the "effect" of sounding like Betty, so there's no need to edit the file itself! Just send us the voice sample and we'll modify it and post it back here! Again, PLEASE do not add your own effects to the audio file!
Some tips for recording:
Have a noise canceling microphone (most microphones, including desktop ones provide this these days)
Hold the microphone about 4-6 inches AWAY from the mouth and nostril area, preferably to the side as to not pick up any breathing.
Give it multiple takes (and it's ok to host the file with multiple takes on it) until you or her feel comfortable with the recording.
