Voice overs ando Sounds!?

HI thanks for stopping by! :slight_smile:

I was wondering what type of voice over’s are developers currently interested in ?

Fanstasy,Modern,Solider, etc

Types of sounds needed for games door opening, weapons.

Thank you

So strange, this is the third audio thread I’ve seen lately.

I could use something like opening doors, yes. Footsteps definitely (the default sounds there are just painful).

Maybe ambient background noise of different types (urban, rural, etc.).

Thank you for your time for replying. I am looking to perfect sounds in games. I am looking to see what people are really solely searching for and then provide these on the asset store.

Last time I was looking for voices I went through ever single free asset on unity store and ditched all of them.

Basically, one thing a game might need is “generic indecipherable emotion voice for specific character type”.
I don’t know if you played… Toukiden 2, but in toukiden 2 and in a few other games, there were “voice packs” per character personality. A “voice pack” is essentually a set of grunts/statements for specific situation. Several voice actions per melee attack, several grunts/reaction for being hit, for dying, for cheering, etc. The thing is, such voice pack is done in character, Example:

Similar thing was attempted in some of RPG titles like baldur’s gate, neverwinter nights, but it was done poorly, because character lines were too long and got annoying quickly.

This stuff would be useful.

Now… the reason why I ditched every sinlge voice pack on asset store is because voices provided in such packs usually are not generic enough to be useful. For example, you might have someone saying “one, two free”, except that the voice has specific personality that oozes through every syllable and that personality does not fit your game/genre.

For example, voice like this:

would be useless as an asset becuase it has too much character and is too unique.

Thank you for taking the time to share such great examples! I really do appreciate the input. I will put this information to good use. My first assets will probably be for free until I get the input I need. Thank you for replying. :slight_smile:
