In last week’s dev blog, we happily announced that Age of Empires II HD: The African Kingdoms will feature English voice acting!

To celebrate, we’re having a little competition, where you can make yourself part of the game!

Voice Acting competition

  • Speech: Record yourself saying this line, it is spoken by a Cavalry Archer in the first scenario of the Malian campaign: Do not worry, you are not alone on your journey. Our village is on the other side of the river. When we reach it, it is yours.”
  • Accent: Work on your accent! We’re in western Africa, so an accent with Malian/Nigerian sounds will have a higher chance to win.
  • Format: Save your work as an mp3 file, mono (or joined stereo).
  • Submit: When you’re done, mail your file to [email protected]

In 10 days we will pick the winner. So make sure to have your audition submitted by Sunday 11th of October, 23:59 GMT.

The winning speech will be included in the expansion.

Good luck and release your inner William Wallace!
