Voicing for a Chinese Internet Game

I know it's been awhile since I last updated my current status. I will formally start to write all that happened during Christmas as well as during the Spring festival starting Monday. I need to work on my field notes from my last trip to Yangjuan first. But, I did want to share an interesting experience I had today. One of my friends, Tim, had another friend who works for an internet gaming company. He needed two people to help out with the "foreign" voicing of the characters. The game is called "Street Soccer." 6 people play as internet players with street soccer rules.
After agreeing to do the female voice of this game, I met up with Tim this afternoon and rode our bikes to the guy's house. We each took turns saying things like: "Nice Pass!" "Yo, chill out! The game isn't over yet!" "Man, that was awful!" "Defense! Where's our defense?" Of course, we made changes so our original script wasn't like this. :) Haha...I tried to make it as authentic as possible by the use of "man," "yo," and "aight." I don't know when the game will be available...we might have to stop over at his place and do a couple of more recordings. Man, I guess this is my debut!
