Marauder voice acting demo

The recently released demo of the Marauder's voice was not terrible, but both myself and a modder friend of mine, IskatuMesk, think that the voice lacks emotion. The actor sounds like he's reading from a script rather than letting emotion affect his diction.

For example, when he talks about being exiled and the cowards who fear death, he should sound more disgusted.

I think the Marauder shows the least emotion of all our characters (most of the time) a decision made by our art director.

The idea is a strong, unyielding personality.

On the other hand, I see your point too, but it wont be changed from now, hopefully the other characters will be more to your liking!

I think it's also due to the fact than this audio sample doesn't have background music. If you play Marauder's audio and Main Menu theme at the same time, it's more immersive and far better :)

Andrew, will you be teasing more music and voice acting soon? Is there another trailer with voice acting coming as well?

I it's a possibility that we may tease you guys (:P) with some more dialogue as we record it!

Though a new trailer is unlikely, its not the most cost effective thing to do at the moment! pulling people off development to create promo material obviously slows down the production process and we all have HEAPS to do!

I have one question: Templar voice in game will be the same like a trailer one?

triad13: Yes, he is coming back.

True.
Even though i'm not familiar with sound editing i made this edit just to see how it might sound in the final version.
