I am looking for someone with a nice voice to help make some vocals for osu!.

If you are interested in trying out, please submit the two phrases "welcome to osu!" and "goodbye" or "see you next time!" in the highest quality possible. These would be played on game startup/shutdown, to give context.

Accepting audtions from both male and female. I'll figure some kind of reward for those that we end up using. Thanks in advance!

the best is to provide files in *.flac format with highest settings to get the best results of recording

I think that it's supposed to be more of an "oh-su", not "aw-su".

If you map or mod, try out AIBat kthx.

I don't know how to remove noise from the recording, this is my first time trying something like.

I can redo it if it's not up to standards.

If you can't get a less noisy room or a better recording set, you can try to remove the noise digitally if you record your mic in your room while you don't say anything, but depending on how much noise had to be removed, it can make the voice sound robotic.

Example:
https://db.tt/I3xN80lZ
https://db.tt/d1lmXJwX (version 2 with more extreme parameters)
Kyonko Hizara's audition with the noise reduction filter in Adobe Audition (could do it because there was a longer period she didn't say anything in the recording)

The same filter applied to ztrot's recording: https://db.tt/7PfZi8Yt

I would get Adobe Audition if I had more use for it, but I don't do recordings often enough to where I feel the need to have it

I'm just wondering if we're able to audition in different languages other than English?

You should pronounce it more like 'oss' though.

Someone told me to enter. Might as well if only to set the bar higher than some of the stuff already in this thread.

Welcome to osu!
Goodbye
