Do we have 'voice actors' here?

This is definitely interesting to me. I have a somewhat decent mic, but no voice acting experience whatsoever haha.

Well I'd say you don't really need any 'experience'. Audio quality is terribly low in the game anyways but custom voice files really pimp up any mission. There are some great examples already, Nichol's RSR campaign for example. Rather bad quality but it just adds so much to this rather...bland game.

I agree. The question is how much becomes too much? I think if done tastefully and carefully, you could really add a lot of plot to a mission.

Well, what I had in mind for my missions are short one liners, for example, in all my missions (future releases, not old ones), I will use territorial waters (which may or may not matter).
If you cross them, the XO or rather the navigator of course, informs you by text. That is just...not enough.
Just some normal American voice saying "Captain, we're in 'whatever' waters!" is enough.

Basic stuff!

Ah, ok. I understand. I got all excited haha. Yes, stuff like that would be good. I guess in today's vernacular, you could call them "smart" call-outs.

I'm not too fond of custom sound files in missions. The volume doesn't follow the sound volume settings in the game. The first time I played one, I had headphones on, and all of a sudden I hear this klaxon screaming into my ears. Felt like someone stabbed me with a knife!

No, use text messages instead, please!

Normalization can be done to the sound file that will be used in game to keep the volume down. A mission creator must be responsible!

One could make a note that the voice files were normalized to a specific in-game sound setting.
