The Voice of Terri Brosius
published Monday, 26 Oct. 2009, 20:58 by ZPSHicks
The voice of ITO AI 'SARA' which guides you through The Vault is ... Well, have you ever played System Shock 2? We can not believe the luck we've had getting such a voice icon for a key character in the game. Nothing but, for the love of the game.

Ever played System Shock 2, one of the greatest coop games ever made?
We want to introduce you to 'SARA' one of our very special characters in the Interstellar Marines: Trilogy. 'SARA' is a neural network which is administrating the entire ITO Server Cloud. Her AI voice interface is female and ever since we played System Shock 2 we have always known which voice actor to get for 'SARA'. And since 'SARA' is introduced in 'The Vault', we just had to track down Terri Brosius which did the voice of SHODAN in System Shock 2. Why?, because only the best is good enough for Interstellar Marines! :)
We found her with the help from our friends at Epic Sound and immediately got her to do a few voice samples for the voice of 'SARA'. The first voice sample she did, was just her playing around. In the second sample, she sent us her pronunciations of the various names of characters introduced inside 'The Vault'.
Download the first voice sample 'Terri Brosius' did for 'SARA'
Download the pronunciation sample 'Terri Brosius' did for 'SARA'
We absolutly love the way Terri Brosius's voice has that very confident and sexy facade and just behind it lies an arrogance that can make a grown man cry! How the final result sounds like, well you will know soon enough! :)
Enjoy!

How doesn't recognise the voice he? WHO? Silly mainstream kids, not knowing what the golden age of gaming was like :-) System Shock, MechWarrior, WingCommander, Thief, Baldur's Gate, ... ;-)

Vidmaster:

no, she didn't. I was just shouting out legendary games from the period.
She only worked on LookingGlas Studio projects.

Great news on the voice actor.
She is a rare exception since many english voice actors are not very good.
Side note:
You guys need a new main news article but I guess you are all working on Bullseye.
Hopefully the next news article titled 'Bullseye Released' is coming very soon ;)

Today's my first visit to the site. Saw the "Bullseye" trailer over at game trailers and the voice seemed "alot like ..." and here she is ... 'SHODAN'. After viewing the "For the Love of the Game" I thought I'd check out your site. I just "enlisted" and promise to "Spearhead", come payday, for many reasons. Namely to support people with such passion.

F*cking awesome greysabre. :)
Enlisted members with support badges are a rarity here as well. ^^

Good Choice for the voice, and hitting on what greysabre said, i also saw the bullseye trailer which made me check the site out, i was interested in this game ever since i saw the first ever trailer back when the ps3 was first coming out, thought it looked awesome, so i joined up and donated, hope it turns out to be a kickass trilogy, going by just the bullseye "demo" i'm liking it.

ZeVeX, welcome to the Spearheads. Have fun with the Interstellar Marines as we prepare to go out on our first mission, whenever command is ready to send us.
If I were you, I would e-mail the primary investor Gert at gert@haarjorgensen.com for a 15 minute presentation of the vision of the game, largely made up of gameplay, exclusive to Frontliners and Spearheads and running on the old Unreal Engine 3. Although you have to sign an NDA, it is WELL worth it.

That voice.... She must be the A.I. of my dream. I guess it's possible to love a machine :P

Her voice is...mesmerizing... :D
I normally prefer a male AI voice, but after hearing those samples... I must say that my mind has been changed.

I can't believe it....Terri Brosius. Excellent choise. Take good care of your voice actors, they make a huge huge difference in the final quality metrics of all games.
This gets all the more exciting...next step is to get the overall ambience and mood/sound pallete of the game in place. Take good cues from Dead Space in this department. And make sure to include some quality electronic music in there.

Finally came and check out the site first hand, been here before but never really understood what the game was, saw the trailers didn't know what to make of it....finally ive played the game and played bullseye for like 5 hours...VERY IMPRESSIVE and Very FUN!!...amazing how a simple game of target practice could be so challenging and intense at certain moments, you guys definitely have the fun factor in place, if you could create nice challenging moments with enemy AI that you did with the training you have a solid game in the works ..keep up the good work guys, planning on become a spearhead whenever i come into extra cash.

Beware!!
There could be a scenerio where the ITO AI, SARA, begins turning against our Interstellar Marines' heroes...
I think Terri Brosius is the perfect choice for Interstellar Marines...Hurray!

I love that those Danes are going "Indie" Noone to tell you that you can put in the game or not.
I just hope they can finance the whole thing and get the first chapter in the trilogy ready. Then i am sure the finance will take care off it self, cource the game looks to going to be SWEEEETTTTT
ZP ROCKS

First of all [
<a href="http://www.storeingame.com/">WOW Gold</a>, outside of the starting point for the Horde Undead
characters <a href="http://www.zyy.com/">Buy WOW Gold</a>, is a town called Brill. Here, new players will see WoW Guilds
with some of the coolest mounts – blue, green, and red skeletal horses and a green and a purple warhorse. Oh, they are
to die for – and they cost a lot. Plus, you need training for your character to be able to ride them.
Second
<a href="http://www.wowpowerlevelingup.com/">WOW Power Leveling</a> the problem with crafting professions is that
the trap you fall into is one I like to call Skill Leveling Fever, where you will do whatever it takes to raise the
skill of your profession<a href="http://www.gobuyaiongold.com/">Buy Aion Gold</a> You take a complimentary gathering
profession so you can farm your own mats because we guess you will say Ya Gen.
