Voice actors needed to improve the text-to-speech

[Aapje]

I actually found some posts hidden away on the old Reddit, made by a dev that works on the text-to-speech system for Korea:

https://old.reddit.com/r/il2sturmovik/comments/1um84tl/tts_comms_in_il2_part_2_a_call_to_collaboration/

You can read it yourself, but the key aspect is that they had trouble finding good voice actors, and need people with proper American accents who are willing to sign an agreement to let their voices be used for the game.

So if you feel you qualify, you can contact the guy through Reddit.

I am so tired of "George Oreo"  and "Red therrEEE"

And don't get me started on the auto-generated pilot names.  What planet are they from?

Let's keep the discussion here limited to the actual topic, which is the quality of the accents/voices. That is what this would address.

Bad pronunciations are a separate issue and should be reported in the Technical Issues and Bug Reports section. Although someone probably should make a new topic where everyone can report voice lines that are pronounced incorrectly. Why don't you make one, @BlitzPig_EL?

The autogenerated pilot name are a completely different issue as well, not related to the test-to-speech system. Also should be reported elsewhere.

This pretty much got made obsolete right after I posted it, since the devs are now asking for volunteers to mail them. See: https://media.il2-korea.com/news/dd_85
