We are huge on community interaction - and we have developed a brand new way to involve you guys into the game. We are extremely proud to announce this exciting new contest. We are allowing YOU to become the voice of ORION – as well as get some awesome rewards.



This competition will allow you to be one of 10 toggable sets for the Game Announcer. We will offer a variety of customization for player-preference in ORION: Prelude – and choosing your favorite game announcer (or even turning it off entirely) is one of them.

We will be shipping the game with at least 3 sets for the announcer – but also including the 5 overall best from this competition. The sets will be named after the winner – so seeing your name in both the options and the game credits is pretty awesome!

This event is open to absolutely everyone – all you need is a microphone and some PC recording software. We recommend downloading the free software called 'Audacity' – available below:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Nice you just know I'v got to enter now.

Hmmm I don't think you want my voice..

Ill give it a shot if I have enough spare time.

I'll give it a go... Only 100 recordings, right? Heh.

Yeah, we're going to make the fans earn this card / gifts.

But in all seriousness, you can bust out 3 recordings of each of the 100 lines in about an hour.

I will try, but my email always craps out on me when I try emailing voice files to my friends so i don't know how I will be able to send over 100 files successfully. Would it be possible for me to upload it to like media fire or somewhere and then you could download it?

Yes, I changed the official rules - suggesting that people upload a file to a file hosting service and email in the link.

Cool I'll get on right on it, I recon my microphone is alright enough for this sort of thing. I also have a pop filter so no anoying "P" or "B" sounds . I might not be able to get them all finished for a while but I'll definatley have them by the end of Feburaray.
