Would you believe that just three days ago I was thinking about making an optional voice-acting component for Solaufein?
Since you ask... no.
(1) I don't have anyone to do the voice-acting exception myself (Wes the Seiyuu).
You do attend a major university that would probably have some sort of speech/theater/drama department, no?
(2) I'm not sure that I'm the right voice for Solaufein.
Not even listening to the MP3 or counting our phone conversation and listening to your answering machine, I've mentioned that I think it would be quite a serious challenge for ANYONE, with Solaufein at v95, to come up with a voice that will fit the ~18 months of mentally-filling-in-the-blanks that's gone on. As I've (sometimes bitterly, yes) noted, Kelsey has good lines and flat lines. However, in a way, Solaufein ALWAYS sounds perfect to his players. A steep challenge.
(3) I don't have a good microphone, etc.
The secret is that a good microphone is fairly optional.
DBG Jasper, for instance, was done on a microphone you can get for like $10 (including shipping!) from bestbuy.com. Wynne uses an el-cheapo desktop microphone. The mic I used for K-TOB, although older, was nothing special. I can't remember which mic I used for Cespenar, but you get the picture. The only time I've used a fancy mic was the original K-SOA recordings and while very very rich, it was actually TOO rich at times and I've had to replace most of the work and blah blah blah let's not go through that again.
Usually the bigger problem is getting a quiet environment (although both the Wynne Method and the Compton Method will get you there, albeit through very different means) and checking your computer's mic-in port for suckage (many onboard sound implementations have horribly noisy mic-in lines, but that can be overcome by spending $10-$30 on an otherwise obsolete sound card and just using it for recording.)
If you chose to do it, Wes, your laptop might be ideal IF its mic-in is non-sucky--in battery mode, laptops are totally impervious to AC hum and they don't make much noise and you can prop the thing in a corner and just read your lines directly off the screen like I do.
