So I'm looking at that speadsheet, and currently everything that is orange seems to already be segmented with the exception of:
"Galtis Guvron (Complete, along with Merged Lines), Included in the fixes column the rest of the lines: Drinar Varyon, Eldrar Fathyron"
Am I missing something? As it is I'll be grabbing and working on the above file, but I've got a week off work and would love to knock out a couple of these if possible.
Edit: To Avoid double post. I've done about 15 snips, seems easy enough, I have 2 quick questions. Is there a policy on multiple attempts? I've encountered 2 lines that were repeats, neither an obvious mess up, so I assume the VA didn't like the first one, or was giving an extra option, since VA in a vacuum can be pretty hard. What I did was name the first <normal file name>(attempt 1).wav and the second <normal file name>(attempt 2).wav, is this sufficient?
Second Question: How much dead time do you want before and after the line? I've been doing .5sec but I can crop it all the way up to the line, or add a bit more dead time...
About the orange ones: they need to be verified. A lot of actors don't cut the files the way it should be done.
Lol, no good dirty VA's... Alright, well I'm quickly learning that 307 lines does take a bit of time, so I'll update here one I'm done with the one I'm currently on, and then I'll snag another... I do expect that I'll get 2 of these knocked out this week though, already 25 lines into what I'm on and I've only been at it for an hour, breaking for lunch, then I'll have about 2 more hours to work on it... Then all day tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day... lol, I REALLY want to see this done, and I just got out of the Navy, so I can do boring and repetitive... plus it helps that this VA is hilarious when he messes up, so it isn't really boring...
Edit: Again to avoid double post. So another question, actually kind of two. First, it seems like the VA skipped a line, is there a special way I need to flag this? I figure it needs to be brought to someone's attention, just don't know who's.
Second, It also seems the VA ADDED lines, what do I do with these? They aren't extra attempts, these seem to be lines that are nowhere in the script file... after about 10 lines it goes right back to the script file where they left off... My plan for now is to just leave them in one unclipped file, in case they go with a different script file, but I wanted to ask...
Minutiae, include both. Skywind sometimes has duplicate lines as they appear in different contexts and hence need separate files. It is an engine "feature" ;)

That is the only VA who needs complete cutting up. The rest were cut up by their VAs but need to be verified for mistakes/obvious bad sound flaws or missing lines.

If this isn't a case of the character having two same lines but with different filenames (and hence to lines that look the same), they probably just included it so the cutter could decide. DO NOT name them (attempt 1) and (attempt 2). The creation kit won't know what to do with these. So just pick one. On this point it is of utmost importance that the filenames are verbatim how they appear in the spreadsheet or they won't play. They are software generated reference IDs.

if they've missed a line write down the filename and hand them off @ the end in a .txt file with the package. I'll then contact the VA to get them to record the missing lines.
If they're adding lines that aren't there. Make sure you're using their merged script found on the spreadsheet. If you can't find the line anywhere. Let me know and I'll look into it as that'll take some investigation work.

Seems like it was just my copy of the spreadsheet, I guess I deleted some rows somehow, but I went back and checked the original and recopied that, so all better. Almost done with this one, about 210 of 320 lines done, so far 2 lines were missed by the VA, I'll get you the names as soon as I'm done with the snipping, incase he noticed himself and did them last or something...
Edit: To avoid double post.
Galtis Guvron (Complete, along with Merged Lines), Included in the fixes column the rest of the lines: Drinar Varyon, Eldrar Fathyron - is done!
Where do I put the completed package? Does it need to be zipped or anything? Also, 3 lines at the end that were not completed: MorroDefau_MDQAttack_000176A3_1, MorroDefau_MDQNerevarineTo_0000DB3D_1, and MorroDefau_MDQGreetings_00018371_1
I have finished chopping Cassius into tiny little pieces for being annoying.I had to put a limiter on the file because there was peaking. I have also removed some mic pops. The last 5 tracks on the script were weird. The underscores_ were invisible but appeared when I copied them. I think track 82 doesn't sound good.
Caliban, I've marked you for grey-throat. You're right about the other one. Just needs the multi segment lines chopped and have them reviewed for anything missing/misspoken.
Hm, I'd like to give this a shot. Are cutting and naming the "only" things needed, no editing of the files with normalizing, trimming etc? I work in Cubase 5. Seems like all are taken for the moment since I can't see any orange ones.
In the latest You Tube video implementing of audio with the TES Construction Kit is mentioned. Is this a hard skill to master?
Am up for helping out, shall try grab one when they become available!
Edit:
I can take LMVox's voice acted clips ('12 different names, will add names' is the NPC field) if they're not taken. Is orange under the In Game field, so assumed it's free. Sorry if it's not!
Once you finished chopping all the lines, put them in a .zip file and add a .txt file (where you indicate all the mistakes, missing lines, etc...) then send it to Taerkalith
Caliban is right. Its important for us to know if the VA missed something so we can get them to re-record. You guys are also our quality control in a way, so if you think anything is bad/off. Make a note of the filename and we'll get it re-recorded :)
I'll mark Irgola
In terms of cutting, yes, you do need to be able to trim/edit. If you download audacity for free (or an old version of adobe audition) you should be able to do this. They don't take up that much room on your Hard drive.
The google drive link for LMVox's voice acted clips ('12 different names, will add names' is the NPC field) doesn't work. When I try to download them it says I either don't have permission or the files have been deleted. Am I using the right link? I'm using the one under 'Add link to complete package here' in the spreadsheet.
I am ready to cut Cassius Olcinius Taerkalith. Do I wait for a download link?
It is hidden after the first URl Minutiae. I couldn't spot it at first either. Here's a direct link:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7rloHqJwXjFdmxqeVl2TS1peGc
cheers!
There are duplicate lines for Cassius Olcinius on the 4th and 5th row on the script. They end in F2_1 and F3_1.

You need to send them as zip (each zip under the characters' names) to Taerkalith.
yes send it as a .zip and include the missing file entries as a .txt file in the .zip so I can keep track of stuff. Thanksabunch Z!
I would like to help you in your noble quest.
Pick and orange one Fizzy and post the name of it here and it's yours.
The only orange one I see right now is KJthevoiceactor. Has someone taken that?
It can be yours Nitesurgeon. Just post you've got it and I'll mark it off.
Consider it taken
Hi guys,
I can take Skwishface voice acting if nobody has taken it yet
All yours Caliban! Remember if any files are missing to note their filename. Thanks!
I have finished chopping Cassius into tiny little pieces for being annoying.
I had to put a limiter on the file because there was peaking. I have also removed some mic pops. The last 5 tracks on the script were weird. The underscores_ were invisible but appeared when I copied them. I think track 82 doesn't sound good.
Thanks Minutiae!
I'd like to help!
Hi everybody.
Big fan of Morrowind, I would like to help with this project if possible.
I don't have the skills for 3D, music, landscape design so I propose my help here as "non-skilled" person :).
I don't know if I have to provide more informations, but i'm up to talk about that.
My native language is French, but my english isn't bad (I think/suppose), so if there's a problem with that, so shall it be.
Thanks,
Neiloss.
Hi,
I'll take the "Robotic Earthling" covering "Grey Throat" link
It seems that Thesryn VA covering Irgola has already chopped the audio files. Only the "multi-segment" files has to be chopped.
Caliban, I've marked you for grey-throat. You're right about the other one. Just needs the multi segment lines chopped and have them reviewed for anything missing/misspoken.
Is Irgola claimed? Nothing available?
I'm going to have to give up KJthevoiceactor for now. My life started getting complicated. Sorry about this. Someone else can take it now.
Nitesurgeon, did you start it at least? If you have done some of it, can you send your work, or maybe link it on the spreadsheet?
EDIT :error of mine, can't delete it
No, I didn't start it.
Is Hankshaw taken? According to the spreadsheet, he's not, but I wanna make sure. If he's not, I'd love to help out and do his.
It's a new one, I think you can go for it
The Paragade, it's all yours
Well, I ask again, Irgola is still orange, is it still open?
All right, I take Irgola
Hm, I'd like to give this a shot. Are cutting and naming the "only" things needed, no editing of the files with normalizing, trimming etc? I work in Cubase 5. Seems like all are taken for the moment since I can't see any orange ones.

Where do I have to post if I find something wrong?
Don't know if it is important but a word is missing in MorroDefau_MDQCalderaEbony_0000DE35_3 from Irgola (the second "straight")

hi, im taking Hrisskar Flat-Foot

@iron, there is one available, it's a big one? If you want it, write that you're claiming it and I'll mark it off
@Figjig, I'll send you a PM shortly
@Caliban and Taerkalith
Thank you, I'll add a notepad file once finished. The major issue is the fight acting voice, Irgola fells depressed lol (no offense to the man)
