In the game Sins of the Prophets, the Strident will be a ship that is deployed as an ability from the UNSC Infinity and will be the first standard frigate to have shields! The character is a Cocky Frigate Captain (any sex, any accent) that controls a highly advanced prototype frigate, that occasionally refers to the infinity as Big Moma :)

Do you need 2 take, or can you just have 1 per line?

Oh, I wish I had a mic. A cocky captain? He surely has to have some italian roots, doesn't he?

 

This is going to be funny indeed!

 

P.S. I suggest "Hell, it's about time!" as an Ad libed line. It might be related to the fact that it is the last ship you can produce, coming in a very late game.

What kind of mic do you need?

Although I am not Sancho I can answer this, as the answer is always: the best you can get!  :P

On a more serious note: I would advise against using laptop/phone or ipod microphones, I consider these the lowest quality. They will generate a lot of noise (from your surroundings) and clip (distort) very easily on their own. Portable microphones (like these) as well as regular microphones (used by the majority of the Youtube celebs and singers/utaite's) should do the job. If you're very serious you should consider buying a wind shield (like these) or a popguard (again click). 

 

I'll leave the explanation of different kinds of microphones and the accompanying quality/sample depth to Sancho, as that's way beyond what I know (I only know it matters).

Dgaius always has my back :) Most headsets will do fine but its more important to record in a quiet environment with your Mic gain turned up. If you are using Audacity make sure the levels reach at least between .5 to .9 You can always turn up your mic in control panel, then Sound, then recording. 

 

 

Do you need 2 take, or can you just have 1 per line?

No you could do one per line if you would like.

Also don't forget you can include custom ad-libed lines that you think would be awesome for the strident!
