I'm originally from Edinburgh, Scotland and the residents there generally have a far more 'soft' accent, its not as abrasive as the Glaswegian accent. (If there are any Glaswegians here, you know I'm right! )

My father's side hailed from Kirkaldy (Kircoddie, as you and I would pronounce it!) just a bit north of "Auld Reekie" as I once knew Edinburgh.

Yeah I used to go up to Kinghorn on holiday a couple of times a year (as a kid) which is only a few mile from Kirkcauldy. ;D

Severian: haha love the voice overs. Hopefully Skydiver can mess with them and clean up the static and such.

yes, I should be able to.
I guess we're back to the original question for each of the "actors": How much voice do you want to record, if any at all?
Just re-do the original Bethesda "generic" greetings and idle voices? Your entire dialogue? None at all?
I'd love to get an idea at how much work I'm looking at here.

Maybe I'm nuts lol, but I'd like to do the whole shabang for mine. Of course I need to get my ass in gear and start. At very least I would like a couple of original (ie non Bethesda lines) greetings that relate to the story.

If I ever get around to buying a mic, I wouldn't mind doing the whole dialog over. Well, if my voice acting turned out to be half-way decent, at least. For the time being, it looks like I get to be "generic high-pitched Breton".

Heh I wonder if we should swap out Lynda Carter's very American voice for something more Brit for you Cali. Maybe the Breton or High Elf female?

Mantodea: I was just thinking, this is kind of cheesy, but I believe it's possible to use a pair of headphones as a microphone. I've done it before, though IIRC only on side of them recorded. If I end up being too lazy to go to Staples to buy a cheap mic, I might end up doing it again lol.

Okay I found an old headset microphone I got that came along with Dragon Naturally Speaking (which I never did get to work by the way ) a few years back. I'm recording with it trouble is I get a REALLY loud humming sound. If I turn off the microphone boost it's lower but my voice is also much lower and you can barely hear it. Any ideas? Maybe I'll see if I can try one of my other sound cards. This one I am trying now is the Santa Cruz and with recording from Adobe Audition (aka Cool Edit) which I admittedly don't know much about how to fiddle around with.

Motoki, is the humming coming from your speakers?
If so, it means you have your sound card/mic settings set up so that you're able to hear what you say into your mic coming from the speakers. If you open your sound card's mixer/volume control thing, there should be a place (under options or the recording tab or something) where you can check or uncheck that box.
I used the exact same mic to record some of the Almalexia dialogue at first, and I had the same problem. I just searched around all my sound things until I found the right place.
mics are really cheap, so if you're interested in doing a voice but don't have a mic, I bet you can pick one up at a local computer (or music) store for less than the equivalent of $25 American. And it should work fine.

yeah the input stage is probably too high at some point.
I have a question: exactly how many different voice files would we have to record?
I could possibly do my own (I've got tons of recording gear), but if it's going to be a hundred of them, then hells no.
If it's somewhere arounf ten or twenty, THAT I can do.
