Let me sing your RPG game theme! (or compose it)

[richardkim_co]

Hello RPG Makers, developers, creators, composers, graphic designers, artists, and gamers!


If I failed to mention your category, I apologize in advance~ 


I am a web designer by trade, a RPG maker as a hobbyist, and a singer and musician by night and I would like to sing YOUR RPG game's theme song!


I have a fully equipped home-based recording studio as well as the software & an audio engineer to make professional quality recordings.


LANGUAGES I CAN DO: English, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, & Spanish.


**EDITED**


If you want me to sing your theme I have requirements that differ based on what you need me to do so please PM me with details.


For copyrighted music, I will only do it if you will be using it for a non-commercial project.


If you need a copyrighted song for a commercial project, please do not ask me to do it for you.


Here are samples of my work:


NON-ENGLISH


네버엔딩 스토리 (Never Ending Story)


연연 (성시경)


PINOCCHIO


ENGLISH


I Know Where I've Been (from Hairspray)


If you are looking for different kinds of vocal styles, also let me know. I know various people who would be more than happy to take on projects.


FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES: Please PM me to discuss further.

I've moved this to Resource Workshops.  Art, Literature and Music is for showing of your artistic skills that are not being used to directly make game stuff.  Please read the pinned topics in this section and update your opening post with the necessary information, and please be more careful about placing threads in the right place in the future.  Thank you.

Hey, just out of curiosity, what would you need in order to do this?  Full sheet music with lyrics, or would a high-quality recording of the song be sufficient?

Oh sorry! I thought that was the appropriate category for that. I'll be careful next time!

I accept either full sheet music or a high quality recording of a backing track (instrumental MP3 or MIDI).

Hi! If you still take requests..


I would need something with vocals.


However, the character is female, she's a Wanderer with a Harp (but I guess any instrumental background with strings will do it)


Situation is following:


The group (party) goes over night into an inn after they've finished their first dungeon. It's their first night in tranquility.


The Wanderer will begin to sing while the group is sitting together. 


While she is singing, an important part of the story will go on, as a romance between two protagonists will begin.


So sth calm, romantic. The player must feel the athmosphere.


If you could do sth like that, this would be very awsome!


The only issue, as mentioned, is.. that it's a female actor :x


I don't request a specific song, just something beautiful, you or the singer likes. 


But although it's a free game, I'd need something which won't have issues with copyright.

Hi! Sorry for the delayed response! I can do that for you! What kind of genre are you looking for? I'm thinking of piano/soft strings. And I'm assuming you also want it in English?

Oh these are some great news!


The language is not that important, as in the end I'll anyway release the Game in (as planned so far) 3 languages. But it would help to know the lyrics in english so I'd add a few sentences of it directly in the game's text (and the translations of it).


Soft strings sound perfect!


Just sth calm, maybe romantic, maybe even abit sad.


Something which underlines the athmosphere  


I'd like it to be a very emotional scene of the game's story and the music surely will play a big part of it.
So.. basically something you enjoy singing and which fits the scene ^^

I just wanted to say wow man... WOW.  I'm a producer/vocal artist/musician on many levels and I have to say your voice is -above- industry standard. Its talent like yours that makes me focus more on composition and musicianship outside of vocals. Congrats man, do more with it.

 

[Srpg]

 richardkim_co  you are really talented! I was very impressed by your voice! Keep it up!

Thank you! Above industry standard? You really think so?  Check out my website: www.richardkim.co for more content. And don't hesitate to reach out to me if you would like me to sing/compose your theme song. Also, I'm open to collaboration. I'm actually looking for other musicians who are open to the idea.

 richardkim_co  you are really talented! I was very impressed by your voice! Keep it up!

Thank you! I'm really glad that you like my stuff!  Check out my website: www.richardkim.co for more content. And don't hesitate to reach out to me if you would like me to sing/compose your theme song.

Absolutely loved your sample.  Sending you details now.  Your voice is fantastic, and I agree it's par the industry standard if not better from the amateurs I have heard.

Thank you! I sent you a reply! Please share my stuff with your friends, family, peers, coworkers, what have you. I greatly appreciate it!

Well actually I'm a composer. I'm very open to the idea of collabs. I actually studied audio engineering. My theme song for the current game I'm working on is purely instrumental, however - I think for an 'Opening Scenes' or 'Credits' song you'd be perfect. I dig the PSY car karaoke too. It shows your enthusiasm. If you'd like to collab just message me a song style you want to try, and I can send you a track formatted to said style.  If you wanna get courageous I can just randomly send you some stuff but I'm pretty off the wall ( My music ranges from Metal, to Classical, to Trip-Hop, to Dubstep, to Ambient DnB.... )

Haha. My favorite kind of music are power ballads. Other genres I love are funk, electro-pop, soft rock and RnB. I'll continue this conversation in your inbox.

Wow, your voice is beautiful! I can tell you're trained, too...
Your tone is completely in-tune and your voice is both sharp and clean with a little soft note to it. I love it!
How about vibrato; How varied can you make that?
This is beyond impressive; I'm definitely spreading the word about this.

 

[gRaViJa]

You are very talented! My game has a gritty medieval style to it but even then i'd like to find a way to make a song work for it just to share your talent!

Surprisingly, I never had any formal training in voice. I was trained in piano/keyboard.


With vibrato, it really depends on the genre of the song. I can do all sorts of odd things with vibrato...


From sounding like a sheep to... having none as if I were T-Pain.


Thank you. I am happy that you find my work impressive. Feel free to check out my website as well.

Thank you! I am so happy that I am getting positive comments from all! I look forward to an opportunity to do some vocal work for your game!

 

[Tu-Face]

Dude...your voice is crazy good! I'll definitely have some work for you down the line.
