emerichase for Artificial Inteligence
For the demo we need full voice-acting for the whole onboarding sequence. It's very similar to the first encounter between AI/MainCharacter in the movie Her.
The goal is to have a very natural sounding voice, warm and friendly. Actually the tone/expressions in Her is a very good reference for what we are trying to achieve : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV01B5kVsC0
Her personality is hard to describe since it will adapt to the player. Indeed during the onboarding sequence, player will have to answer a personality quizz (conducted by the AI). Depending of his choices the AI will have different personality and a different name as well. But mostly let's say she is here to accompany the player in his quest for love. She is created by the VirtualOS developer and her role is be sure the MC find the good person for him.
Without more spoil, let's just say that her role will be critical for the whole game experience and might even evolve a lot with story progression =).

[This is just after the generation of the AI based on player profile. It's like their first meeting. The AI must introduce herself and start getting to know the player]
AI: Here I am! [//Might like if the VA could adlib this a bit for a maximum natural voice; like "Hey there, here I am!" or "Hellooo?~.. Here I am!".]
AI: It's lovely to meet you. Are you ready to get started?
AI: Real? [The player just tell her she was "sounding real"]
AI: Thank you, I think! I try. [She laugh]
AI: Your profile looks promising so far...
AI: It's helping me learn a lot about you. I just need a bit more information to <i>really</i> make connections.
AI: Buuut I'm scripted to start with the most basic question of all...[She should say scripted in a sarcastic way]
AI: How are you doing today?
