Question: How was the fx processing so different for Kuruk #7? Was it submitted with some fx already applied. I do like the effect and maybe it would be good to make one of them sound more that way to help differentiate.

heil Palpatine!

Ushar: I like 7’s delivery but I think it would need to be mixed better. Otherwise, 5 or 6.

The thing there was that they spoke in a voice that was already REAL deep, so I rolled off some of the low end, but it didn’t handle the filters as well.

No different effect on Kuruk #7, they just submitted an intense recording. I quite like it, but I agree that I would need to change the effect. The effects chain really makes breathy noises stand out, so since that one was so raspy, it sounds quite different.

Excellent job processing these! Obviously the priority should be on the best deliveries, and each of them had great options, but it would be nice if each of the voices were different enough to tell them apart from each other, too.

Ap’Lek- 8, 6

Kuruk - 5, 7

Ushar - 5, 3 (But I really like the way #8 says, “Spread out!”)

Vicrul - 8, 3

That’s the plan! Once we’ve got the preferred deliveries, I’ll fine-tune the processing to those 4 specific voices so they each sound unique. Thanks for the input!!

Wow, this is fun! Great job all around!

These would be my picks:

Ap’Lek (5, 8)
Kuruk (8, 4)
Ushar (5, 3)
Vicrul (3, 8)

Ap’Lek: 5,8
Kuruk: 5,7
Ushar: 5,8
Vicrul: 3,8

I’m seeing a pattern

Ap’Lek: 6, 7, 8. 8’s accent is interesting, but… not present in his first line?

Kuruk: 5, 7. 5’s voice might be my favorite in general, but 7’s “lizardman” also fits how comically malicious this dialog is. Wish we could have both somehow, but 5 doesn’t seem to have lines for the other characters.

Ushar: 3, 8

Vicrul: 8, 7. Though I wonder if having dialog here is even beneficial to the scene.

Also, idk if it’s too late for dialog suggestions, but imo this group collectively has way too many uses of the words “traitor/traitorous/betray” and “scavenger/scavenger girl.” For example, I’d definitely go with the “Palpatine” line on Kijimi and the “join your father” line on Exegol, and Ap’lek’s “Traitor!” feels too much like a TFA meme.

You’re definitely right. The lines are variations on the same thing. When we’ve pinned down the voices (which will likely be within the next 24 hours) we’ll pick the best specific lines for each so that they’re not redundant.

Okay the votes have died down, so here’s what we ended up with. I tracked all of the votes but I myself did not vote since I knew who everyone was and wouldn’t be unbiased. I’ve included the top three for each knight in this chart:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13gq_LrOPef0JmLNW94ZSUPJSGiyus-rd9c1OeU8bRs4/edit?usp=sharing

I made a weighted score by awarding one point for being a voter’s first choice and a half point for being runner-up, but ultimately sorting by total votes yielded the same ranking. As you can see, I was in the top three for each, so I have an important question for everyone:

My plan was to create 2 fully produced voice packs for each Knight so that editors can have their final say in picking which of two voices they want for each Knight. Realistically, I can do two voices (like Kuruk and Vicrul) and have them sound different enough from each other, but the whole point of this was to get more voices in here so I wasn’t all the Knights. Given these top three (I’ve also included the votes mrbenjamino got for his alternate Ap’Lek submission), who does everyone think the two final voices for each Knight from that spreadsheet link?

I’m thinking this:

Ap’lek: krausfadr (#5) & mrbenjamino (#8)
Kuruk: Me (#8) & my wife (#5) - who was the only female voice we managed to get, but people seemed to like!
Ushar: poppasketti (#3) & mrbenjamino (#8)
Vicrul: Me (#8) & dgraham (#3)

And if we were to just pick one of each, I’d personally say:

#5
#5
#3
#8

When we’ve communally decided on two, I will reach out to those who will be the final voices about potentially re-doing a line or two so nothing feels out of place in the movie.

LASTLY! I plan to still include a couple extra “Traitor!” shouts from different people in the sound pack, so that might be a 5th voice.

Thanks so much for your help, everyone!

Excellent work! I think a blind poll like you laid out makes it totally fair for your voice to come out on top. As you say, as long as there are options so each knight can have a unique voice.

I did want to ask, because I honestly cannot tell, was my voice in the sampler? Just find it funny that I can’t even tell if my own voice is there after the effects. Lol (And if so, I’m frankly glad it didn’t make it to the finalists!)

My stance on revising fan edits.

I can’t believe that I made on the list!

After being beaten and battered by prequel hate, I promise not to be that to the next generation.

That was really fun! Good transparent logic in the spreadsheet. I can’t wait to put this into an edit. Now who’s ready to voice Klaud?

heil Palpatine!

Great great work Axlanian, this must have been a ton of work!

I’d be more than happy to give you some more options for Mr. Ushar, as I always have fun recording audio.

I agree, the amount of effort Axlanian put in is impressive, most impressive.

This got me thinking, since Poppasketti already has experience doing a single line for Kylo Ren and Axlanian seems to enjoy applying voice filters and audio mixing, could we potentially combine these skills to create some new Kylo lines for Hal 9000 and DominicCobb’s ‘Rey Nobody’ cuts? I remember Poppasketti actually repurposed actual reverb effects from the films when he created that “You were right” line… It makes me think that a collabarative task with all you guys would allow us to create some great replacement lines!

Just a thought.

You were, you even got some votes! I didn’t put the full vote count because I worried some might be a little embarrassed if they didn’t get any votes, but I can post a sheet of who was who for each Knight if you’re curious

Im going to be a little sad if there’s no Maclunky line

If it makes you feel any better, I’m adding effects to a Wilhelm Scream in case it can be used for their fight with Ben

Nah, I was just amused at really not being able to tell!
