Voice Actor: NiRa Muso

[NiRa Muso MIOZOTO]

Hello !

I would like to introduce myself. I am NiRa Muso MIOZOTO, my name is Esperanto for: "This Ra's mouse FORGET-ME-NOT". I would like to narrate historical segments before and after campaigns as well as promotional videos. I can edit the videos myself if necessary. I don't have a large portfolio yet but I plan to post my work here: https://ccmixter.org/people/eaterjolly .

I am an Esperanto and Toki Pona fanatic and would like to contribute by translating the project to both. I am a Computer Science student so I can also contribute some code if necessary. 

I believe that a slow tutorial campaign with dynamic voice acting is crucial to the success of the project. 

Fun Fact: In 2020 I archived a version of the Cicada 3301 scavenger hunt:

Who should I speak to about making content for the official 0ad youtube account ?

Also, I am a little lost regarding language support. 

I made a Transifex account but how does final review and addition to the game work ?

Thank you for your time and consideration,
-Muso

Greetings.. welcome we don't have many voice actors. 0AD uses ancient languages in their voices.

And it will use (in theory) vernacular languages for the campaign.The campaign design is still in its early stages.

I think @Vantha was onto this, @lilypoppy's campaign goes straight away to business.

I would very much like to create a promotional video detailing the progress on tutorial and campaign design, and calling for help on what is needed. 

For example, we probably need concept artists for the historical segments to look more polished and immersive.

Thanks for the mention! I'm working on a narrative campaign about Viriathus and the Lusitanians. I was actually looking for someone to do voice-over, and a promotional video sounds interesting too

this is volunteer work, and I give credit to everyone who contributes.

Let me know if you're interested!

Can you send me a script ?

What kind of accent are you looking for ?

@NiRa Muso MIOZOTO

It depends—whether it's a narrator's voice or the characters' voices. The script hasn't been decided yet for Scenario 1; we're still in the early stages.

 

Example  : 

 

Iberia, 147 BC.

 

Three years after Rome's treacherous betrayal, the legions strike again and nothing stands in their way.

 

Trapped and surrounded, the Lusitanians face a choice: surrender, or stand and fight.

 

Out of the ashes of massacre steps a shepherd turned warrior — a man who has seen what Roman promises truly mean, and will never trust them again.

 

His name is Viriathus.

 

He has no army. No city. No crown.

 

Only the will to fight, and the courage to lead a people that refuses to break

@NiRa Muso MIOZOTOI have to admit that this text is challenging. However, the idea of embodying the hero, Virato, appeals to me. @Thalatta

 

The only thing I’m wondering about is the license, since my goal has always been for the campaign project to eventually be integrated into the base (vanilla) version.

 

@Stan`

CC BY 4.0? Is that compatible with 0 A.D., or is CC BY 3.0 strictly required?

@Nicolaus_von_Kues

What a strange coincidence finding an intro video for the campaign!

 

@NiRa Muso MIOZOTO

What editing software do you know? I have some illustrations and I'm looking to create "burning" page transitions synchronized with the voiceover.

3.0

3.0 would be better (4.0 is not backward compatible), But I guess the only thing we'd have to do is to clearly state that it's 4.0 for it to work. E.g in license.md

@NiRa Muso MIOZOTO

Is it possible to provide a CC BY 3.0 license for your audio files?

I'm not an artist unfortunately . I know how to cut audio and video in Blender . A page transition animation would be something to put in a call for in a promotional video.

The "voice acting" in 0 A.D. indeed could see some improvement. The quality is all over the place. Some is "good enough" that it doesn't bother, but with some voice samples you really hear it was recorded with a bad mic in a closet with the voice muffled and dampened. Some of the voice "acting" really funny where it should be a call to arms or battle cry but it sounds like they're reading it from a book.

Who do I talk to about posting to the official YouTube ?
