It's okay, but I think it's just a bit too perky for the general theme of the port, so this isn't an option as-is unless she's willing to record something more fitting.
I think it has potential, but as it is now I would not push for it being the official announcer. As for my announcer, it is complete, it can be used here, but I really wouldn't suggest that since I don't even think it's that great.

Well, I finished the Zannouncer... Only problem is, it is unusually quiet.

Srsly, I can't figure out why the hell the announcer volume is so low, but it is still audible. Personally, I would use this opportunity to suggest announcer volume adjusting in sound options.

Anyway, you can find it HERE.

Also, if anyone can make the sound louder, that would be greatly appreciated. I am fairly sure I could, but the amount of time recording and editing makes me not want to touch audacity any time soon!


BTW it's a completion of all announcer speeches. took me a day and a half.

Only thing I left out was the redredskull thing, which I didn't think made any sense anyway.

Two reasons.

Reason one: Doom's sound is funky in general. The ideal volume for it is around 6-8 dB higher than it is right now. yes, with clipping.
Reason two: They're in stereo. Doom *really* doesn't like stereo that much. It can play it, but it messes up the sound to some degree unless it's music.

Something in the style of the Quake 3 or the 97D announcer would be cool. :razz: Or maybe something demonic..

EDIT: I like BouncyTEM's one so far, but announcer, he's a bit too excited.
Twister's one is alright too, but the announcer sounds a bit bored.
