Lord Raven Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Heya everyone, so I do talk about this in small spurts with people but now I want to officially make a thread about it. Because we didn't really have voice acting until FE9 and full VAing until FE13, I just wanted to know how you guys pronounced the various names. I'm thinking that the way we do this is that we go through the list of names - by game - on vocaroo and record our clips and post them here. I'll be doing them game-by-game, but I will start with FE13 and work my way down to FE4. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1VmikXZuoaN <- FE13 http://vocaroo.com/i/s1TIRov1DOxV <- FE1/3/11/12 http://vocaroo.com/i/s1yDeep5pblO <- FE9/10 http://vocaroo.com/i/s1iBQuwLto7g <- FE8 http://vocaroo.com/i/s04bsfsoFQDx <- FE7 http://vocaroo.com/i/s1cllcgiuYP5 <- FE6 http://vocaroo.com/i/s0DG2i7vMHgA <- FE5 http://vocaroo.com/i/s0WjFyA2zXAk <- FE4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Not bad, but I can hardly understand each name you're saying. It sounds like your mouth is too close to the mic or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Or too far away, its a new laptop so Im still getting a feel for the mic. Maybe later i'll fix it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Ah, I see. Well, I'll do my own some time as well. I won't say every name though, only ones I feel aren't obvious or that I prefer different pronunciations to the ones I've heard in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iridium Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) I don't have a mic. But here's the ones from FE7-8 and 11-13 that I pronounce differently from you. E-lie-wood LOO-shus Barter Leg-ALT Ka-RELL ATH-ohs EFF-raym INN-ess TETH-iss (although I'm pretty sure I'm wrong here, I just like this more) La-rack-ELL DOZZ-la Sall-EH RENN-ac Sir-RENN DESS-el DROGG Mal-E-see-uh LIND RISS KAY-duh (although I think it's "SEE-duh", but I've pronounced the former so long that it's habit.) FRAY Na-VARR Ell-er-RAYN MAL-iss LAY-denn ZANE (although I think it's "chain", but see above) Ma-SELL-an To-MOSS SHAME-uh Rosh-AYA Ih-MEER El-ISS (like "Ylisse") Lor-ENZ GO-toh VEER-e-un KELL-am MARE-ih-bell (which doesn't help the whole totally-not-rarity thing) Say-REE Loo-SEE-na SHELL Seh-VARE-uh NAH EMM-err-inn Edited March 21, 2013 by Iridium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Okay, here's mine. I also did some that I pronounce differently from you, Lord Raven, but not all. For ones I did not do, mine are pretty much the same as Iridium's. xP Also, I apologize for the bit of stuttering I did in the third one. I tend to do that when I speak, but it's not very often. Buuut, at least my voice doesn't sound like a little girl's anymore. lol Blazing Sword: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0BDGn9wRnxB Sacred Stones: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0msCLHYoxV2 PoR/RD: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0iN5Vy4uDGy Awakening: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1gKDsMMLTGt I would've done older games and the remakes, but I don't know many characters from them that I don't think have obvious pronunciations.

Integrity Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'll run this later as a break from homework. Could be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momentai~ Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Do I need to speak into a mic to do this? I've tried it and it doesn't record my voice. It does pick up sounds that occur when the laptop is moved or tapped though. It's weird. edit: I just read my question back to myself and it sounds really silly lol, lemme clarify I know that my laptop can register my voice without a mic because I've used it for voice chat before, but does this specific program require that you speak into a mic?

Topaz Light Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Alright, I'mma just do some of the non-obvious ones from the games I've played and some legacy character names, too. ELIBE: Eliwood - EHL-ih-wood Bartre - BAR-tee (I know this is wrong, but I had a friend who pronounced it this way and it just sort of stuck. This is not said like "Barty", by the way; the "t" is more emphasized and the "ee" sound is a bit longer) Canas - CAN-iss Athos - AH-thoce (I had a bit of trouble transcribing this; "Ah" as in the vowel sound in "bag", and thoce rhymes with dose) Klein - KLYNE (FE6; this is spelled as "Klane" in katakana for some reason, even though "Klein" is actually a real name) Zealot - ZEE-lot (Actually, his name is a real word, pronounced "ZELL-uht" by most, but I say it differently in his case to differentiate the two) Boies - Boh-EESE (The "eese" is pronounced sort of halfway between "ease" and the end of the name "Reese") Nergal - NER-gull Ninian - NIHN-yan Nino - NINE-oh (Even though I know it's wrong) Priscilla - Prih-SILL-uh (I've heard some people pronounce this one wrong, but it's pronounced "Prisilluh") Vaida - VYE-duh Geitz - GEETS (It's actually kinda partway between that and "gates") ARCHANEA / AKANEIA: Malicia - Mal-EE-shyuh Kleine - KLYNE (FE12; Katakana confirms that I'm wrong but the real pronunciation (something like "Klyneh") sounds silly to me) Ymir - YIH-meer Gotoh - GO-toe Xane - ZANE Cecil - SEH-sull Draug - DROGG Lena - LEN-uh Roshea - RAW-shee-uh (Even though I know it's "Roshay") Vyland - VILL-ihnd Sedgar - SED-ger (Almost exactly like Edgar, plus that S at the beginning) Macellan - Muh-CELL-ihn Tomas - TOM-iss (Literally exactly the same as "Thomas") Astram - AH-strum Midia - MIH-dee-uh Nyna - NEE-nuh Medeus - MEE-dee-us (Even though it's suppose to be "MED-ee-us") Virion - VEE-ree-on Panne - PAN Yarne - YARN Say'ri - SIGH-ree Tharja - THAR-ee-uh Cherche - SHAERSH (Like "Share" but with a "Shh" sound immediately afterwards) Owain - OH-win (Same as Owen) Kjelle - SHELL-uh (I remember reading somewhere that this is correct?) Basilio - Buh-SEE-lee-oh Walhart - VAWL-heart Gangrel - GANG-grull TELLIUS: Greil - GRAYL (Rhymes with "rail") Lethe - LEETH (Rhymes with "teeth") Sothe - SOTH (Rhymes with "moth") Mia - MY-uh (I know it's "MEE-uh" but that name just sounds like a bad fit for the character to me) Titania - Tie-TAN-yuh Mordecai - MORE-dih-kay (Pretty much "more decay" but as one word; probably this is incorrect) Shinon - SHINE-uhn Gatrie - GAH-tree Muarim - MWAW-rim Naesala - Nay-ZOLL-uh Reyson - RAY-zon Caineghis - KAY-nuh-giss Deghinsea - Deh-GIHN-see-uh Kurthnaga - Kurth-NA-guh (Sometimes "Kurthn" rhymes with "Earthen", but not always) Geoffrey - JEFF-ree Nailah - NY-luh Vika - VYE-kuh ("Vye" rhymes with "die") Volug - VOLL-uhg (Because VOH-loog sounds stupid to me) Rhys - RISE (I know it's "Reese" but I just like "Rise" more. Besides, it's just a habit at this point) Ashera - Ah-SHEAR-uh Yune - YOON (I know I'm wrong. I just don't care) Ashunera - Ah-shoo-NARE-uh MAGVEL: Eirika - AIR-ih-kuh (Actually it's literally just "Erika") Ephraim - EFF-ruhm (My dad confirms that this is correct, but he could be wrong) Saleh - SALL-aeh Duessel - DOO-cell Innes - INN-iss (This is a real name, this being its pronunciation) L'Arachel - LAR-ih-chul Lute - LOOT Syrene - Sigh-REEN Gerik - GAIR-ick (Think Gary+Rick) Tethys - TETH-iss Marisa - Muh-RYE-suh Ismaire - IZS-mare (I have no idea how to write that sound that's halfway between S and Z) Fado - FAY-dough Vigarde - Vih-GUARD Lyon - LIE-on / LEE-on (Used to be the former, but I'm training myself to say the latter instead) Caellach - KAY-latch (His name is too Gaelic for me to be right) Riev - REEVE Fomortiis - Fuh-MORE-tease VALENTIA: Alm - ALM (Rhymes with "balm") Celica - CELL-ih-kuh Jesey - JESS-ee ("Jesse") Luthier - LOO-thee-air ("Thee" as in the first syllable in "Theory") Duma - DOOM-uh JUGDRAL: Seliph - SEH-liff Julia - YOO-lee-uh Julius - YOO-lee-us Altena - All-TEN-uh Evayle - Ee-VALE Havan - Huh-VAWN Azel - AH-zell (Just a side note, but this is very similar to how I pronounce Azelf) Larcei - LAR-say / LAR-chay Ares - ARR-ess (Because of how it's spelled in katakana: アレス as opposed to エリーズ, which is closer to how Ares/Aries is actually pronounced; sometimes I just say his name like "Aries" though) OTHER: Archanea - Arr-KAY-nee-uh Altea - ALL-tee-uh Dolhr - DOLE-uhr Pyrathi - PIE-ruh-thee (Once again, "Thee" as in the first syllable of "Theory") Aurelis - Aw-RELL-iss (Even though the fact that no one anywhere ever called it "Aureluan" pisses me off, because that's what the katakana says) Macedon - MACK-eh-don Valentia - Val-EN-shee-yuh Rigel - RYE-gel (Rhymes with Nigel) Elibe - EE-libe (Again, I know this is probably wrong but I don't really care 'cause it's a habit) Sacae - SAY-kay (Still apathetically wrong) Ilia - Eye-LEE-uh (See above) Etruria - Eh-TRUE-ree-uh Nabata - Neh-BAW-tuh (I always pronounce it as though it were spelled "Nebata", even though it isn't) Arcadia - Arr-KAY-dee-uh Lycia - Lie-SEE-uh Caelin - KAY-lihn Pherae - FAIR-ae Ostia - AWSS-tee-uh Laus - LOWCE Magvel - MAHG-vell Renais - REE-nace / REE-naze ("Nace" rhymes with "ace", "naze" rhymes with "maze"; it sorta varies between the two) Frelia - FREHL-ee-uh Grado - GRAY-dough Jehanna - Jeh-HAN-uh Rausten - RAW-stihn Carcino - Car-SEE-no Crimea - CRIHM-ee-uh (Knowingly wrong) Gallia - GAL-ee-uh Goldoa - Gull-DOUGH-uh Begnion - BEHG-nee-on (Also knowingly wrong) Daein - DAY-ihn Ylisse - Yih-LISS (Even though Sumia confirms it as "Ee-LEASE") Plegia - PLEA-jee-uh Regna Ferox - RENG-nuh FAIR-awks Valm - VAWLM (Rhymes with "balm") Manakete - MAN-uh-keet Laguz - Lah-GUHZ (Law-GOOZ sounds stupid) Edited March 20, 2013 by Starlight36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I must be the only person who doesn't pronounce Eirika like the name Erica and doesn't think it should be. xP But whatever, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Light Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) I must be the only person who doesn't pronounce Eirika like the name Erica and doesn't think it should be. xPBut whatever, lol. In Japanese her name is pronounced like AE-rick (sort of), so AE-rih-kuh might be right. I dunno, I'd just feel silly saying it a different way. Eirika just looks like a fancyish alternate spelling of Erika to me. Edited March 20, 2013 by Starlight36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 It's supposed to be Erika, I know of a couple Eirika's myself and it's exactly like Erika. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) But then why add the extra I if it's supposed to be Erika/Erica? I don't see any point. That's why I believe it should be pronounced differently. xP Plus, the "ei" sound is often pronounced like a long I or long E, and imo a long E sound would make the name sound silly, so I go with the long I sound. EDIT: CR-S01, I can hardly hear you. xP Edited March 21, 2013 by Anacybele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) idk man Ana, don't ask people why they spell names weird, you're talking to someone that's been a victim of a nonsensical name spelling his entire life (i'm pretty sure both the vowels in my name should be a's, or at least the first one) Also: http://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Eirika it's a norse name/spelling so it may follow a different pronunciation pattern than a conventional english name or something (idk). It keeps the game in tune with the norse elements it has throughout the game. CR - your voice is beautiful............... I was also about to re-record, but my house is too echo-y (my laptop isn't right in front of me at all) so my voice is a thousand times louder than it should be. I'm definitely going to go through again when I'm back on campus. Edited March 21, 2013 by Lord Raven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
