Title: Translations needed in French... Spanish... and Italian
Post by: Nelson on December 31, 2010, 10:50:32 AM
I'm writing some dialog and I want to speak it in a language other then English.

I need it to be the way people really speak and not just a word for word translation.

Well here's the situation: The woman is always threatening to leave and he finally get tied of the threats and says,  

If you want to stay, then stay.
If you want to leave, then leave.
But I'm not playing this game, anymore..................Damn it..


If you could send or post an audio file so I can hear how it sounds, it would be very helpful.
Any other tips would be appreciated.
If this works out, I will be doing more...

Thanks guys

Italian: it's me speaking...listening to my voice sound always funny and strange for me...

 :D

Anyway: the tone should be important. I've tried to be angry, but...I'm not so good as an actor, I think...

 :D :D :D

Alfredo, I feel the same about my voice.
I think I will start recording myself speaking, just to get used to it.
Thanks

Hey Jim
I trust you made it through New Years eve safely.  ;D
I went with my own voice, this time. I realize it was only a few seconds of intro so I tried it.
I hope to post the song soon.
Thanks and Happy New Year

I'm forgetful, so I leave myself voicemail messages all the time (reminders to do stuff). I can't stand it when people tell me what to do, it turns out, I don't even like myself telling me what to do, go figure.
