As we were unable to record our lines on the day we planned, today my partner and I decided to continue recording. In addition to finishing the captain's lines far more quickly than expected, thanks to reading the script in advance, I was also able to complete the rest of the voices.
You can read my notes on the session below.
* I suggested to Ed today that when I voice the narrator I should speak slowly like Mr.Smith from 'The Matrix' as, when reading the narrator's lines last I found that by reading the introduction more slowly that the voice was not only more distinct than my captain's voice for being slow, but also added drama and mystery to the opening of the cut scene. The other advantage to this voice would be that I can add a bit of my own bass voice to it without it seeming forced, whilst also giving it an air of 'The Twilight Zone'.
* I also recommended that I try a slightly posh / air host voice for the ship, thus being slower than the captain's enthusiastic self as well as being able to show a calm and panicked self. Admittedly, I got this inspiration from C3PO's style of talking from 'Star Wars' which was a style of voice I was trying to avoid, but feel may be easier on the throat and be easier to filter, preferably so that it is its own thing.
* Sadly I gave into dropping my intended voice for the mechanic as despite my love for it, my vocal cords still being in tact was greater. Instead I suggested that I replace it with the cockney accent I had been working on, or my slight 'Captain Barbossa' inspiration from 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films which has also improved. Both being inspirations and the style for my original 'disgusting man' voice, as well as both being easily filtered so as to make them sound like my original intended voice.
All of the above suggestions made it into the final recording session and came out rather well. Overall, I look forward to hearing them alongside the frames I have almost finished (six left) and handed the current ones to my partner.
