Payment
Believe it or not, I will pay for this project. We can negotiate price offline. If you are looking for something to put in your portfolio, this may be something you would be interested in!
Game Info
This game pays tribute to Blasteroids, a game that mixed asteroids with a sort of Arcanoid feel. It consists of a ship fighting a constant barrage of "wasabi pea meteors" and other space baddies. It has already been released (in 2002). I am attempting to rework the entire game and release it on the iPhone/Andriod. The major programming is already done, but it is being tweaked for a better feel and visuals. More power-ups are being added, and the graphics are getting a 100% overhaul. This will be released on for the iPhone/iPad first.. then everything else including windows/mac.
Specifics / What I am looking for
Basically, I am looking for a female voice to play the voice of the ship's computer. This is the old school style of a voice saying things to alert the pilot which is the person playing the game. So when the pilot picks up a power-up that has a shield, I need a voice to say "deploying shields", and so on. Lack of personality in the voice MAY be what sounds the best, but I am unsure. Depending on your preferred style, could sway me either way.
A good example I can think of is an old game called "Forsaken" to when you pick up power-ups a voice says something. (some examples for those curious below). This voice just happens to be a distorted British accent voice.

Your voice doesn't have to sound like a robot, or like Siri or anything, but if you want to give it a try, go for it. As long as you have a good voice, that's all that is required. Someone else did the voice for the 2002 version of this, but I would like to redo it and expand the vocabulary.
some examples of what I need are the following:
Words like "Enabling, Starting, Engaging, Initiating," (you get the idea)
Words (to follow) "Ghost Mode, Shield Systems, Worm Hole Generator, Double Shot" (and so on..)
so in effect, when a power-up is collected, the first word will be random, the rest will be whatever power-up was picked up.
Submissions
If you are interested in being part of this project, please submit me a sample (mp3, wav, whatever..) directly to my email address at jabbyjim@gmail.com. Say something creative like "shields up" or anything nerdy like that. If you are really interested you can check out the game details on the web page. Please keep in mind this game is getting an overhaul in graphics, game play, and then some (so don't laugh at the game too much! lol)
Other
If you have ANY questions, please email me at jabbyjim@gmail.com. I'm not really interested in resume's, just any samples you would like to provide. I will accept and decide on the last day. Feel free to submit as many as you would like using different voices, I won't mind.
game is finished and released!
