There\u2019s a world of difference between a trained singer and a vocalist who has perfected true cinematic fantasy singing \u2014 and with Hollywood Fantasy Voices in hand, you can finally bridge that gap in your scores. We meticulously built this collection from the ground up, with multiple microphone positions, portamento control, mood (Soft, Classic, and Epic) and more so you can command the mythic fantasy vocals you need for your newest epic soundtrack. This is the authority that Hollywood Fantasy Voices puts in your hands \u2014 the ability to, with only a few words, make the audience feel on instinct: \u201cI\u2019m far away from home.<\/p>\n
Hollywood Fantasy Voices puts the power of singer Merethe Soltvedt\u2019s majestic voice at your fingertips, along with full male and female choirs. Anytime you need ethereal, floating vocals to capture the essence of battles, lost kingdoms, or emotional trials, Merethe\u2019s voice will sell the scene even when nothing else does the trick. She lent this library the same power and grace she brings as the lead vocalist for Two Steps from Hell. If you enjoy fantasy movies, you\u2019ll love this: Every word she recorded for the Hollywood Fantasy Voices library comes directly from Tolkien\u2019s Elvish language, allowing you to make your scores as authentic as possible!<\/p>\n
Forget complex CC automation; simply hold a single note and let Merethe\u2019s haunting vocals do the rest! Switch between Lyrical (for dramatic, dynamic vowels) and Vibrato (for higher-energy sustained vowels) to instantly add a mysterious, regal topline to your scores (think Howard Shore\u2019s Evenstar from The Two Towers). Every note is rich with emotion and magic, ready to add to your fantasy orchestra.<\/p>\n
For more dramatic melodies that demand maximum realism and expression. These true legato passages are perfect for evoking images of rolling hills, distant castles, and all manner of fantasy settings \u2014 grand, expressive legato transitions were recorded both ascending and descending within an octave, allowing you to make even large intervals feel effortless with Merethe\u2019s emotive voice.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve ever wanted your own personal Elvish singer, you\u2019re in luck \u2014 Merethe recorded 60 different words from Tolkien\u2019s original language across a range of notes, which you can perform in isolation or chain together to create your own unique phrases and sentences. Even if this is only a subtle detail in an otherwise complex score, listeners will feel it \u2014 and this attention to detail will help set your music apart.<\/p>\n
nstantly set the mood for brooding, somber, and ominous fantasy scores. When you need a strong vocal line but don\u2019t know what melody to write, and you want maximum realism and emotion, these ad lib phrases let you create the perfect part by playing a single note. All are organized into patches by key, so you never have to go hunting for the perfect vocal part when you\u2019re deep in writing mode.<\/p>\n
Hollywood Fantasy Voices wouldn\u2019t be complete without a full choir to back up your solo singer, so we included ethereal male and female groups with different vowels to provide a rich palette to underscore the most gallant and potent moments in any project you\u2019re writing for. The choir\u2019s performance style has heavy traditional folk inspirations, making this the perfect fit when conventional \u201cepic\u201d choirs simply don\u2019t do the job.<\/p>\n
We also included a keyswitch section to bring the rest of the instrument together into several condensed patches, allowing you to include all the fantasy voices you want with less tracks and menu diving. These include a full choir, men\u2019s \/ women\u2019s choirs, and Merethe\u2019s recordings of sustains, phrases, and Elvish words. If you need to create a fleshed-out score quickly, this will give you the fastest path to bringing your own fantasy vocals to life.<\/p>\n
