Did anyone else think that the title is about Keen having voices...you know, hearing voices inside his head... no? okay...

While I'm thinking of - any particular lines you'd like me to record?

How about stuff that Keen has already said in the story text?

Keen 1:
"Aww Mom, can't I keep him?" (always liked that one, haha)

Keen 4:
"So the Shikadi are planning to destroy the Galaxy, huh?" thinks Billy. "Sounds like a job for...COMMANDER KEEN!"

Sounds good to me! I'll see if I can crack on tomorrow (miiiight have to run errands - if not - that's that much more time for recording!) I just have to find a time when no one is around, haha. Mucking with my voice...embarrasses me.

Hey, that's some solid voice work!

Not what I was really expecting for Keen (more nasally than what I originally imagined). But what if you did the voice for Mortimer? The idea of having the arch-villain have this nasally \ nerdy voice would serve for a great comedic effect.

Either way, well done! :lol

Thanks mate! I am NOT a pro by any means and I'm still adjusting to the things my voice can do, so...that is one heck of a compliment. :D

*bwahaha* That WOULD be great. I am all for this idea.

Not a problem at all good sir :3

There's nothing wrong with that ^^ Lt. Barker might have to sound a little bit deeper and a little more mature tho...

That one might be a bit tricksy (what you hear in those clips is very close to how I actually sound - I just put a bit more inflection on it and spoke a tad higher, which actually may be why it came off so nasal) but I can probably give it a try at some point! Just probably not this coming week, haha, I have my wrist surgery Tuesday and I am way behind on translating.
