The Choicer Voicer is a unique party game that turns the microphone into the main competition tool. Instead of racing, shooting, or solving puzzles, you listen to an audio clip, try to imitate the voice or expression of the sample, and then wait for the judges to evaluate your performance.
Developed by YeahMaybe, the game is available on Windows and Linux, supporting 1 to 4 local players. The current version is still under development and is built as a highly customizable playground rather than a game with a fixed content library. The creator also says that the game has very limited material built-in and encourages users to generate their own content or download additional content packs to expand their experience.
The Choicer Voicer’s major selling point is the game’s competitive take on voice acting. You don't need to be a professional voice actor. A funny voice, an odd accent, or a completely failed imitation can sometimes become the most memorable moment for the whole group.
The game's structure resembles a mini-game show. Players enter the studio, listen to the sample content, take a microphone, and perform their act. Then, the computer judges give their evaluations.
Sessions are usually quite short, suitable for constantly changing players or organizing a game session with friends.
More importantly, The Choicer Voicer doesn't try to make everyone the same player. You can change the host, judges, studio, menu, voice pack, and many other elements to create a game show with your own style.
Before entering a round, you need content to perform. This is the slightly unusual part of The Choicer Voicer.
Instead of providing a huge library of fixed lines, the game allows you to use voice packs. These could be community-created audio clips or packs you build yourself.
You can create your own themes based on:
Community guidelines indicate that voice packs can be built from audio files such as WAV, MP3, or OGG. This makes content expansion relatively flexible.
When the round begins, the game plays a reference audio clip.
This is where you need to pay attention to many things at once. Don't just listen to the content of the sentence. Hear how the character pronounces, the speed of talking, the pitch, the pauses, the emotion in his voice.
A basic sentence is hard to copy if a character speaks excessively rapidly, stretches a word or changes pitch all the time.
You listen to the sample and then it's your chance to grab the mic and sing.
There are no difficult controls to remember. Gameplay revolves around the microphone and the player's voice.
I'm going to do a comic performance of this, in my own manner. You can try to reproduce the sample as nearly as possible.
This is also when the most exciting moments are often created by overconfident players.
The computer judges will judge the act after it has been performed.
The game's community information says that the scoring system may consider aspects like clarity of the voice, timing, and pitch qualities of the performance. But the scoring system is not always completely explained and so getting a high score may occasionally become a test the player.
The Choicer Voicer is a funny party game to free your voice and enjoy wonderful moments with your friends.
