I'm gonna start by saying I am a horrible voice actor. I'm also gonna add the fact that I'm horrible at audio editing haha. This took me a few hours of recording the same lines over and over and going through Destiny soundboards looking for the ghost sound effect and asking my brother what it means to add chorus to your voice to make it sound like you're actually a robot. Basically it was a lot of work, probably more work that it should've been. This was only for entertainment and wasn't intended to be perfect (in fact it's a bit messy), but should give you an idea of what it would be like if, by miracle, Bungie hired me as their next Ghost voice actress :)

Thank you guys for the upvotes and comments <3
Edit 2: Okay, 400 likes on this thread and I'll do a voiceover for a cutscene in Destiny, just comment below haha.
Edit 3: idk why but I've been getting tons of PMs about my age lol. I'm actually 22, although I do sound a lot younger. Not sure why my age matters but to answer any future PMs and to prevent my notifications from blowing up, there's your answer 😆
[b]Edit 4: 400 likes!! Comment what cutscene you'd like me to do and I'll record it this weekend :)[/b]

I think a 'female' Ghost would be cool. So long as there are no gender politics in its narrative. An overprotective, yet cynical personality would be a funny combo.
-
Very cool.

That's bloody wicked. I would love to have that option in destiny 2. However, that would mean having a second voice actor come in for all the lines, and im not sure if Bungie has the time to do that so late in developement. But maybe they have already, or maybe they will, or maybe the game isnt as far into developement as i think it is.

You don't hate Destiny? Sorry... It's just a bit surprising to see an offtopic person here.

I haven't even watched this yet and I can tell you that I would welcome the option of choosing a ghost voice. I don't take any issue with Nolan North as the Ghost or even Peter Dinklage. But the idea that there are hundreds or thousands of guardians and only one Ghost voice is absurd. It really wouldn't be that expensive to have the same dialogue recorded again as a female Ghost for us to choose which we prefer. Just watched the vid, I thought you did quite well. Your tone and inflection gave a completely different feel to this scene.
-
Nice job.
-
I need to see some SRL quotes ASAP
-
That was actually quite good :)
-
I just had a flashback to the conversation with our ghost on the exotic kvhostov mission. *holds back tears
-
Id honestly rather have your voice then nolans and thats saying a lot lmao
-
Wow this is great!
-
But then you would have to fight off all the enemies while as the man I would have to open doors for you...
-
Bumping for later. At work.

It's always bothered me that: 1. You've never heard the sound of any other ghost in Destiny apart from your own. 2. You could never select a female voiced ghost considered that it has the most dialogue in the game. I liked this and hope it's something they consider going forward. Nice work Ghost, your Guardian would be proud.

I'm not ready for Ghost succ
-
Comment for later. Dangit...
-
I agree with Richie Burns on that it reminds me of cortana from halo. But yes it does sound way better than Nolandroid. Nice work.
-
I want little Pete Back, get a couple of GoT lines thrown in for good measure.
-
I like it better than Nolandroid!
-
Reminds me of someone...maybe bungie deliberately made the ghost male so people wouldn't try and compare him to Cortana Nicely executed though
-
For as large as the supposed Destiny budget was/is, I was always surprised that we don't have more ghost voice options. I thought your edit was well done. I'd say that it's clear you're an amateur, but honestly, compared to the professionals they brought in, your voice is on par, if not better, than theirs. 👍👍

Comment for later

I thought it was nice. Many of the comments I'm seeing are saying it was flat/emotionless but I personally think that's how ghost would start out. He/she would grow with the Guardian.

Edited by Ahhsenberg: 1/18/2017 3:30:23 PMI wouldn't doubt that they will add different ghost voice options in the next game. I don't know about your voice being an option, Sara, but nice video nonetheless. It's cool seeing you do things outside of #OffTopic, by the way.
-
That sounds fine, it just has the same mistakes of the dinklebot. Lack of character, sounding apathetic, just basic problems with voice acting.

Honestly...and i mean it with all honesty, without any intention to bash you or anything else....but as i believe the reason you posted this is to get feedback i guess it's okay, if i'll give mine about it too.... you have definitely a nice voice...but as a voice actor, again, totally honest, you lack the skill needed...to me, wouldn't be happy with a ghost speaking like this, sounds flat, boring and is missing life in the voice...to me, even without knowing would think it sounds as what it obviously was...a voice speaking lines that sound like they were read off a paper, lacking the natural, lively enthusiasm that's needed to be a good voice actor.... hope you not mad about me now...nice voice...clear and understandable...but unfortunately sounding flat and inanimate...maybe a lot more work and practise could help...however, best luck ,)
