Ok, so I'm sittin here thinkin 'bout how cool it would be to have AI say things like "Shut Up! and "Get Down!" and "Shut Up and Get down!", but then I think, hey - who the hell does this stuff? So I thought I'd ask:
"Who the hell does this stuff?"
"Who the hell does this stuff?"

I do a pretty good Lara Croft impression. The voice is a little deep, but I run around in short-shorts and a wig with a swish-swish of my hips, I'll point my guns at you.What was this topic about again?

@ Wes: From the moment I wake. Plx help
@ Sean: lol
I tried sounding like a grunt, ended up sounding like a hoarse auctioneer.
Sean: Give me a recording of you saying "man thats hard core" in a hardcore voice. I will use it in a logo.

I have all the equipment; too bad im a BAD Samaritan. Also no matter what language im speaking no one seems to understand my voice- they probably chose NOT to understand me....

If you have a portfolio with quality work and are willing to make multiple recordings of a list of phrases, yes I'll pay you $20. Other than that... I hope I've spread good karma. I'm working on a Mod for Tribes 2 to begin my campaign as a game developer, so I really don't intend on forking out too much money for production, but it is an excellent chance to add to a portfolio or get credit props on a project.
Once I have these recordings, what you do with them is up to you, so long as I may use them freely in my modding project.

Necro-Thread due to remembering an old thread posted by a former Tomb Raider artist showing links to his showreel and pics on how to get good mesh deformation. Saw that comment and posted to irc. Comedy ensued.
Actual thread I was looking for was this one www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/83217.
Pics and tutorials are still on the guy's site (and it turns out I had it bookmarked anyhow). After so long messing with script/code I'd forgotten how to character model. :P
