Voice acting
'Voice profiles' are needed for player characters - the words/reactions (combat, healed, leveling etc.) joined in a set of sounds. Upon character creation player can select the most suitable profile for his imagined characters of the party.
Sounds types needed in a profile are: Pain (short), Joy (being healed), Attack shout (short), Death, Greeting (like 'hello there!'), Farewell, Leveling ('I'm feeling POWERFUL!!'), Sensing danger ('Did you see THAT?!'), Needing heal ('I'm gonna die sooon'), Feeling tired ('YAAAWN'). Feeling Crazy (low SanityPoint: 'Oooohhahahaha, ooo,bangooo'), Feelin low on morale ("oooh, i'm sure we would better rrrrrun", depressed). At least two recordings for each reaction is needed.
You can use this example script, although we encourage you to be creative so that every voice profile has its distinguished feel to it.
Personality types that could be acted: funnier character, the always serious, two of aggressive/bully type, two of psychotic (crazy), two of evil, two of 'the perfect good' (the paladin, the good wizard). etc.
Male and female needed - female especially, so women & girls out there with voice acting talent, you could help out a lot!
Best way it to create short, descriptively named OGG files, use some file sharing service like solidfiles or box.net. If you want quick feedback, join the chat when something is ready for checking, but it's a good idea to post it on the forum at Contributions section linking to the shared files. Currently existing voicepacks can be found here: svn part (you can download files or the whole as a tarball at that page Link: tarball).
Spell sounds
The usual spell sounds from the old tomes of magic, boom, squeek, whooam and so on.
Weapon clangs
Wooden, metal, bow etc. - miss sound + hit sound
