Radio Host VA available

[Norosco]

Heyo! I'm an actor and a massive fallout fan! I'd love to create my own radio mod BUT I just don't have the tech know-how. You need sets built or spot-lights spotted Im your dude, but modding isn't my forte. Anyway, I've always loved custom radios mods, they have such a way of completely changing the whole game atmosphere. I have wanted to be a radio host and I've noticed people who have wanted to do radio mods but lacked a good hosting voice or a good microphone. I have both. So if anybody would like to do a collaboration, I would love to be the host of your radio station, I'd even write my own stuff if you weren't the creative sort. (Other VA jobs accepted as well, just know that I'm open but am a full time actor so I don't have unlimited time) I would normally charge but I believe modding should be a free enterprise, so just hit me up with propositions and we'll go from there.

Oh hey! I have a couple ideas for radio mods! :D

Do you know Alys Robi? She was a very popular Quebec artist in the '40s. She got to record french versions of popular music we already hear in Fallout or associated artists. Like "Rhum et Coca-Cola" for the Andrews Sisters' Rum and Coca-Cola. Alys sang a very appropriate song to the Fallout universe. Called "Ça atomique t'y" (Litt: Does it atomic.)

Lyrics:
Puisqu' aujourd'hui c'est la bombe atomique (Since nowadays the atomic bomb)

qui fait les frais de toutes les conversations (is the subject everybody talks about)
On ne demande plus "As-tu besoin de tonique?" (No one asks "do you want a tonic?")
On demande "as-tu l'atome en position?" (they instead ask "Is your atom in position?")
Et puisqu'il faut être énergique (And since we need to be energetic)
N'en parlons plus comme autrefois (Let's not talk about it like olden days)
Un type qui n'est pas dynamique (A man who's not dynamic)
N'a plus le droit d'élever la voix. (Doesn't have the right to have a voice!)

Le pep est dans l'atome (Pep is in the atom)
on n'demande plus "Ça va t'y" (We don't ask "How are ya?")
Les hommes, les femmes et les mômes (Men, women and children)
demandent "Ça atomique t'y?") (all ask "How atomic are ya?")

As-tu l'atome en travers ou en long? (Is your atom upright or sideways?)
Est-il désintégré ou bien est-ce qu'il est bien bon? (Is it disintegrated or is it well ((enriched))?)
Atomiques-tu? Ou n'atomiques-tu pas? (Do you atomic, or don't you atomic?)
Si t'atomiques, oh bien tu peux dire "C'est extra!" (If you atomic, you can say "It's fantastic!!")

Rhum and Coca-Cola by Alys Robi: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5219152/Music/01%20-%2009%20Rhum%20%26%20Coca-Cola.mp3
(She says "Negrita" in the song so it may be not be PC for today's audiences)

Chica Chica Boom Chic: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5219152/Music/01%20-%2020%20Chica%20Chica%20Boum%20Chic.mp3
(Upbeat song that uses a lot of "boom" onomatopeia, originally referring to percussion, but in Fallout it seems to be very enthusiastic about explosions. XD)


She has a lot of other songs but it is just an artist I would like to mod in the game. She recorded at the CBC, and I even have an extract with a period appropriate announcer!: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5219152/Music/01%20-%2002%20Babalu%20%28in%C3%A9dit%29.mp3
---

I think some more period music is adequate for the game, and Quebec is not far up north from Boston, so the cultural influence is appropriate for the time period.

Also I have some more modern songs but remade with manouche jazz influence that could well exist ingame, they would need audio edit to make it sound older but here are some examples:
The Lost Fingers - Billie Jean (Michael Jackson cover): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5219152/Music/01%20-%2008%20Billie%20Jean.mp3
(I rationalize this because the great war is in 2077 or something, technology did not advance but culture is not necessarily just 1940 and 1950's. After all "The Wanderer" song ingame was made in 1961, so even Bethesda is not that rigid about the canon...)

Maurice Delisle - À Québec Au Clair De Lune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLOGlba6LRY
(Intro could be something about our American "Paris" as this sounds very French with the accordion.)

The Puppini Sisters - Heart of Glass (Blondie cover): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5219152/Music/01%20-%2010%20Heart%20of%20Glass.mp3

The Puppini Sisters - I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor cover) : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5219152/Music/01%20-%2008%20I%20Will%20Survive.mp3

Some stuff from Postmodern Jukebox is also very fitting.

--

Also I think modern styles like Electro Swing would more than fit well ingame. Yes synthetizers are used but we do have advanced computers too so technology can work...

Swingrowers - That's Right :

Swingrowers - Midnight :

(Could even be produced bu the institute as the sound is more modern that the rest)

--

Also thinking about Ms Alys Robi, she was lobotomized at the start of the 1950's and survived! So maybe she could exist at Parson's Asylum as a Robobrain...

So many ideas! Tell me what you think!

You have a lot of good ideas, the issue is I don't know how to mod beyond the absolute basics. All Im offering is that if someone is willing to put a good radio station together in the creation kit and needs a good sounding host, Im your man. If you're offering I'm listening.

[TwilightOne]

I was able to get a custom radio ingame with some of these songs as a proof of concept. But I am not a programmer IRL, I am learning scripting right now. So I would need a bit of help for creative details like the actual dialogue lines etc and requirements ingame to unlock it. :D

I am more a musician in real life. It is easier for me to do world building than scripting.

 

If you are interested we could work together. ^^

 

Just send me a pm with some voice clips so I can get an idea. :D

[Norosco]

Okay I wrote up some voice clips for just this reason. I'll record them and send them to you. I'm making some creative choices with the voice but I'm flexible. And I'm definitely up for some dialogue writing if you need me too.

[TwilightOne]

I'm a pretty creative person, but I really like teamwork so if you have ideas it's very good! :D

I can't wait to hear all that! Do you have a lot of audio editing software. Because on my end I add some effects via Audacity to make recent recordings sound like old recordings. Old music is very mid preset with not much bass or treble, the eq looks like an upside down U.

Maybe add a bit of noise, equalize tje volume to fit with existing game sound etc.

I'll have to think about that too. ^^

[TwilightOne]

Hahaha, I am testing the "old" effects on recent music.
Original by Postmodern Jukebox - Radioactive (Imagine Dragons cover):

My old effect edit with vinyl scratch applied to it. :D

It fits soooo much in Fallout hahaha, it should play when the player gets out of the vault at the start!
"I'm waking up, ash and dust (...) I'm breathing in the chemicals (...) This is it, the apocalypse (...) Welcome to the new age, I'm radioactive" Hahahahaha

[Norosco]

That definetely fits! Ill be sending you those clips either tomorrow or the next day, Im a bit busy with rehearsals and I want to find a good character for the takes, I'm even practicing my ghoul voice.

They have a cover of "I kissed a girl" :

 

"Are they not aware that this song is now known and sung as "I kissed a Ghoul (And I liked it)" in the Commonwealth. I swear these kids nowadays!"

 

XD

 

 

And very good! I look forward to hearing that!
