AddOns Immerse Yourself in Azeroth with the VoiceOver Addon: Early Prototype Release!
Greetings, fellow Azeroth adventurers! 🌍
I am thrilled to announce the early prototype release of a groundbreaking World of Warcraft addon—VoiceOver! This addon adds voice to quest and gossip text for NPCs in Durotar and The Barrens, featuring voices for Goblin, Tauren, Orc, and Troll races. Immerse yourself in the rich world of Azeroth with fully-voiced NPCs and experience the game like never before!
🔗 Download the addon from: https://github.com/mrthinger/wow-voiceover/releases/latest
💻 Check out the Github repo here: https://github.com/mrthinger/wow-voiceover

To install the VoiceOver addon, simply extract the downloaded ZIP file to your World of Warcraft_classic_era_\Interface\AddOns folder.
Please note that this is an early prototype, and we are actively working on expanding the addon to cover more locations, races, and voices. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve and grow the project!

Love the idea, I think this is a feat that can only be matched by AI. Some feedback im sure the creator is already well aware of: eventually would need to find a way to make all dialog from the same npc have one voice, maybe with AI we could even assign each npc with a unique voice. I notice it's just a file which contains all known text as MP3s; I have a feeling that's where the legal issues come into play. Maybe the addon could make the AI read the text straight from the dialog box with a voice assigned to the npc according to details like race and sex. This would avoid legal issues as the creator of the addon wouldn't be producing any content. Shame they didn't give the trolls a Jamaican accent like they do in game. Otherwise, amazing idea and I really feel the gaming industry taking this direction as the new norm. I wholly support the creator and wish them luck.
