I have a slightly more fruity voice than usual because I've got a cold. I will say anything you like for you to use however you want.

Hello and welcome

Here is one my previous bits of work and here is my Voice123 profile for proof of my existence.

Update1: I'm working as fast as I can to get as much done for you as possible!

To all interested in voice acting, here's a recent post of mine about getting started:

http://www.reddit.com/r/recordthis/comments/2dc15o/advice_anyone_from_the_uk_here_need_a_bit_of/

Update2: I'm still here. It's been 7 hours? My word. I'm getting tired now. I'm not going to be able to do the wall-of-text requests as I'd prefer to keep a larger number of people happy with their clips. Recording the next batch now I'm trying to go chronologically).

Update3: Heads up, the Taken recording is reaching the download limit on Soundcloud. If you can't hear it, I'll be putting it somewhere else soon.

Update4: My voice is starting to crack a bit now, but I should be able to hold out for a bit longer.

Update5: I don't think I'll be able to handle another batch. My voice is wrecked. I've done 98 so far. I must be mad. I do a few more interesting ones before I go to bed.

Update 6: And that's me done. I've been doing this for over 10 hours now. My voice is all croaky, I'm dehydrated and it's 02:40 in the morning here. However! Be not disheartened, people whom I didn't get to! Because I shall return here when I am doing auditions until as many as possible are satisfied. If you have made a request I shall do my best to get it done. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not until next month, but I'll do what I can. And so, it is a goodnight from me. I hope you were entertained and I give thanks for the gold.

can you please do this for my recording machine ?

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for me, I can tell you I am not here. But I do have a very particular recording machine that I have acquired at Best Buy. If you hang up now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you leave a message, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will call you

Splendid choice. I can do a reasonable Liam Neeson:

The above will probably stop working shortly. Use this instead:

I would love if you say "What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo." for me

MisterKlaw13 karma

Oh my gosh. I love it so much.

Question: Are you using some kind of noise gate on your mic set-up? It's so deathly quiet when you're not speaking.

fromwithin19 karma

I'm in a quiet booth and I manually silence the quiet parts if there are any clicks or anything. Noise gates have a habit of cutting off the first letters of some words.

fromwithin138 karma

It's coming....

gartertrap335 karma

Can you tell me you love me? I'm lonely right now. ;~;

edit: Thank you so much for all the love guys. I hate those people who add the edits after certain responses, but the fact that random strangers from the internet have reached out to cheer me up is amazing. Thank you all! <3

ILselect305 karma

Can you say "You must construct additional pylons"?

protomor293 karma

would you fuck me. I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me so hard

1:50-~2:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=W-ac87-6n3I#t=115

See how creepy you can get with it.

I want this as my text message tone on my phone :)

Ellecktra221 karma

This isn't really a request for a recording.. Just wondering. Will you marry me and use your voice to lull me to sleep every night? I'm a girl, if that helps at all. In a serious note, you have some amazing talent. How often do you do Schwarzenegger?

fromwithin350 karma

https://soundcloud.com/big-vox/ellecktra

And thanks and I can't do a good Schwarznegger I'm afraid. I'm working on it though.

tea-drinker219 karma

"Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost."

Context. Eighties power ballad optional.

Tallest_Waldo150 karma

Welp, your Optimus Prime just out-Optimus-Prime'd Optimus Prime.

Winsane209 karma

Boring request, but could you say my reddit name as angry as you can?

Cramtastic185 karma

Could you do this please?

"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."

And if you need context.

fromwithin307 karma

I trust that this is the type of voice you were after?

JuntaEx153 karma

Can you say ''I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow to the knee'' in your best rural english? Thank you so much!

Nadtastic136 karma

Can you say "Great nads buddy!"?

allahuakbar79128 karma

Can you say either of these nuggets of wisdom?

"There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on --shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again."

-George W. Bush

A man can have sex with animals such as sheep, cows, camels and so on. However he should kill the animal after he has his orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in his own village, however selling the meat to the next door village should be fine.

-Ayatollah Khomeini, Tahrirolvasyleh, fourth volume, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990.

Riccolatesla126 karma

Can you say this for me please?

Rorschach's Journal. October 12th, 1985:

Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen it's true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"...and I'll look down, and whisper "no"

BlooburyPancakes122 karma

Can you please say, "Yeah, you like that, you fucking retard?"

Lamps_are_great115 karma

Could you please say "I really need to take a shit"? Thanks in advance.

sermoose112 karma

Could you do the ring verse from lotr?

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them, In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie

In whichever voice you find the most appropriate.

Thanks!

Do this quote from Watchmen!

"I'm not a comic book villain. Do you seriously think I would explain my master stroke to you if there were even the slightest possibility you could affect the outcome? I triggered it 35 minutes ago."

slinky22104 karma

Can you please record this in your favorite UK-type accent (British, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, etc.)?

"In the ensuing silence, it became clear that Harry would not get laid that night. Not that night, nor any night in the immediate future."

fromwithin218 karma

I did Welsh just because I don't get to do it very often.

https://soundcloud.com/big-vox/harry-laid

-Bi-Polar-Bear-102 karma

Can you say "Bitches ain't shit but hoes an' tricks?" Preferably in a thick, Scottish accent.

IAmArique90 karma

Could you please say "I am Groot."? I'd get a kick out of hearing that in a voice that isn't Vin Diesel.

SlapYourShit84 karma

Could you please do a quick soundcloud message for me to send to a friend ? All I ask is for you to say 'yer a nob'ed Mr.Evans' in a thick Scottish accent.

moombathon81 karma

If you're a guy with a higher voice, what are things you could do to get that deep, raspy kind of voice?

fromwithin162 karma

Good question. I've had a deep voice since my voice broke when I was 12, so I haven't really done that much to it.

But the longer I do voice acting and the more I do the resonant voice, the more natural it becomes. My throat muscles have adapted to make depth much easier for me. I once read that Richard Burton used to go up into the Welsh mountains to scream so that his larynx would become damaged and give him a deeper voice, but I wouldn't recommend that route.

I started by emulating "Movie-trailer guy" by putting a lot of breath behind the voice to get it to go deeper and raspier. A lot of practise of "This Summer...." and "He was a cop on the edge..." and now I can do it without any effort at all.

You can also try opening your throat as if you are going to yawn. This will increase the size of the resonant cavity and make you sound deeper.

Slylock80 karma

Can you go deep, like shredder deep?

"Tonight I dine on turtle soup."

fromwithin97 karma

He's got a raspier voice than me.

https://soundcloud.com/big-vox/turtle-soup

IpretendIhave3balls74 karma

Could you please say "Music being spun by a grown man, shirtless in his spare bedroom."?

Also "Fuck her right in the Pussy" just for fun.

thejoshuawest66 karma

Can we request voice mail messages?, like: "Hello, You have reached anytime fitness calgary, elbow drive location. Unfortunately our offices are closed, if this is an emergency, please call us at: 403 255 1200 for immediate support." Either way, wouldn't mind a clip of your awesome voice: "This is THE Joshua West" Thanks!

Dajove64 karma

Could you say 'I am the one who knocks'?

fromwithin99 karma

I've done it like the original line in the series:

https://soundcloud.com/big-vox/i-am-the-one-who-knocks

EasyTigrr62 karma

I got v's speech nailed from memory now, but can you in a posh English accent? :D

V. : But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace soubriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.

Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.

fromwithin49 karma

I gave this a go earlier but wasn't too happy with it. I might give it another go, but if it isn't posted here it's because I wasn't happy with it again.

ambulancemechanic56 karma

How did you manage to become a voice actor?

I have a deep voice comparable to your own and always seemed to have good control over my voice. I've dreamed a bit about being a voice actor but have no clue as to where I could even start to pursue a career in it.

fromwithin40 karma

Tis true. There was a boost of confidence from doing some work I got via Reddit (I basically hijacked someone else's thread where they were reading stuff and got offers from that) and then I paid for the subscription to Voice123.com.

devilinpoop45 karma

"who is your daddy and what does he do?"

-Arnold Schwarzenegger

MrAlarming42 karma

How does that site work?

fromwithin79 karma

Which one? Voice123?

You sign up, create your profile and add some demos. If people find your demos and like you, they can send you an audition invite. The other sites, such as voices.com and bodalgo.com work in the same way.

If you pay the (pretty high) subscription fee, then you can audition for any of the open auditions that match your profile. When I joined, I got my first job within about a month that paid for the year's subscription.

Should I have spoken the answer? :)

MrAlarming8 karma

I'm confused where do I go to get you to say things and how?

fromwithin24 karma

You write here what you want me to say, I'll record it and respond here with a link to it on Soundcloud.

MrAlarming16 karma

Ok, can you read this:I can see all her tomorrows and I know that either she dies tonight at your hand or she'll live out her days, month after month, year after year, far away, even as her fine clothes wear into tatters and her silken hair gets dull and gray. Half the city can see the lights from the party, and they dream of the delights inside. Will you tear it all to pieces? Either way, it's Lady Boyle's last party.

KafkaTamura9039 karma

If it´s no trouble, could you please read this passage from Lovecraft´s Azathoth? It´s quite a chunk of text but I just love it:

"There came to that room wild streams of violet midnight glittering with dust of gold; vortices of dust and fire, swirling out of the ultimate spaces and heavy with perfumes from beyond the worlds.

Opiate oceans poured there, litten by suns that the eye may never behold and having in their whirlpools strange dolphins and sea-nymphs of unrememberable deeps.

Noiseless infinity eddied around the dreamer and wafted him away without even touching the body that leaned stiffly from the lonely window;

and for days not counted in men’s calendars the tides of far spheres bare him gently to join the dreams for which he longed; the dreams that men have lost.

And in the course of many cycles they tenderly left him sleeping on a green sunrise shore; a green shore fragrant with lotus-blossoms and starred by red camalotes..."

Deightine21 karma

I've noticed you do a lot of long breath pauses before lines--do you speed read ahead to know which tone to use? It sounds like you've gotten pretty good at sight-reading and speaking on the fly, but it introduces one beat too many. Nicely done though! That's not an easy piece.

fromwithin26 karma

I speed read ahead, yes. The large pauses are spaces of me swallowing or taking larger breaths, but I didn't have time to edit the big gaps out as I'm trying to get as many of these done as possible.

nl_kerp36 karma

Can you say.. "Wanna buy some crack?`"

fromwithin185 karma

Nervous, with a sniffing tick. Don't know why:

https://soundcloud.com/big-vox/crack

Humphrind35 karma

This would be a great opportunity to get something I've always been looking for. Could you use your best announcer / official voice to say "Rally round the family. pocket full of shells."?

Strange one, but three takes:

MultiplayerNoob28 karma

Demons run when a good man goes to war Night will fall and drown the sun When a good man goes to war

Friendship dies and true love lies Night will fall and the dark will rise When a good man goes to war

Demons run, but count the cost The battle's won, but the child is lost

Can you say this? Also, have you always wanted to be a vice actor?

mad29125 karma

Could you say, "lel, you have been reposted for international feeding. R.i.p in pickled peppers mate."? Thanks :)

fromwithin48 karma

I did scouse and cockney versions:

https://soundcloud.com/big-vox/lel

MrAlarming25 karma

Could you read this other quote? "Here you are, Corvo, within the high walls of your enemy's stronghold, the scent of his blood still fresh in the air. My, how you've changed things. You know, the Lord Regent would have fought harder to protect himself, but the truth is, he knew he deserved to die. It must have been agony for such a tightly-wound man to watch as the plague spiraled out of control. As people on the streets went mad and died bleeding from the eyes. Don't worry, I'm not about to tell you that he deserved sympathy. The worst part must have been knowing that it was all his fault. As you hunted down his people one by one, and finally came for him, he must have realized that all his planning was for nothing. And that must have been exquisitely terrifying."

staringispolite18 karma

This is amazing, thank you for offering! I sometimes make mixtapes for my friends, and we've always talked about having some fun with custom intros. Could you please say this for me? I'm thinking of that classic over-dramatic movie trailer theme by Don Lafontaine

"In a world, where everyone with a laptop thinks they're a DJ... One man has the courage to stand up and say <dramatic pause> 'ME TOO.'

You're in the mix with DJ Staring is Polite"

Durk-the-Lurk18 karma

Could you please, please, please say this?

"Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing."

fromwithin68 karma

I tried, but I can't possibly compare to the majesty of The Dude. It just sounds too not-Dude.

murexmuris17 karma

Hello, I'm ashamed to ask this, but can you please say "Moe moe kyun!" Here's a pronunciation guide (0:06 to 0:10). Thanks, your voice is great.

Hilarious AMA, could I request some one liners? a) "These pretzels are making me thirsty!" b) "Chinese Sushi?... Giver, you dumb motherf$*$&!" c) "WormWormNevermind".

Thanks for this!

BlakalomyYoutube16 karma

Can you please say "Welcome to Blakalomy"? It would mean the bloody world to me, and your voice is just fantastic! :) And/Or "titty sprinkles" Thanks!

fromwithin60 karma

Brooney15 karma

Is your voice deeper than Barry Whites?

fromwithin67 karma

Barry White is a little bit deeper. However, Barry White had a very spikey deep tone and a large resonant cavity. which made his voice sound deeper than mine even at the same pitch. Mine is more Optimus Prime than Barry White.

TabletopPong12 karma

Could you please say this? It would blow a few minds if i were able to get this description narrated.

"The Isles. I figure they're the closest thing to hell on this plane. We lost dozens of men just making it to the beach. Our boats were swarmed by... creatures... as we approached. Our blades scarcely cut their scaly hides, and what few powder shots we had were exhausted before we could set up a camp."

"We were greedy men. Greedy and blind. Everyone knows the stories of how the isle are rich and plentiful. How the brave could make a fortune off of the place. No one speaks of the horrors. Of the grave of ships of the coast. It was a mistake buying that map..."
