Why doesn't anyone do voice acting? Is everyone afraid that people will laugh at them? That's not the case. (Well not for me anyway). I respect people who have the guts to be heard. I'm just curious. What do you think? What's everyone's reason?

I dunno. I also respect people doing that (as well as people posting pictures of them). I´m always willing to do voice acting, but I can´t really recommend my voice. However, if anyone wants me to do voice acting, feel free to ask me. Here´s my voice sample for the old swapmeet: [url="http://descent.gamestats.com/swapmeet/voices/goerke.wav"]http://descent.gamestats.com/swapmeet/voices/goerke.wav[/url]

Cool! You had guts. But when I listened to that I realized that most of us don't sound like adults. So thats probably a BIG reason why there is such a shortage of voices out there.

I'd love to voice act, but I've never had the chance, so just in case anyone needs a voice actor, I'm willing to say a line or two.

Some of us just find it difficult to talk into a mic. I'm a decent public speaker, but I find it easier to speak to a room full of people, than a mic

I'm an expert with the mic... anyone who knows me can back me up on that.

I'd love to keep voice acting. I just don't have the time to do it.

I'd do voice acting, but my accent is so far up the creek it just wouldn't sound right.

I'd voice act, but all you would hear would be a quite and slightly understated rumble.

I'll voice act. If someone sends me a script, I'll inject some good old, homegrown english accented fun into the proceedings

IF I actually went and got a mic, then I could do voices....

I actually volunteered to do voice acting for a couple of campaigns, but I think that they got scared after I sent the samples...
