How we did it

First here are the technical requirements set up by the people of Baldur's Gate which you have to follow.

Replace each 'XXXXXXX' in the filenames
with the name of the sound set (MAX 7 CHARACTERS in XXXXXXX, plus one character as noted below for a total of 8 letters). All the WAV files should be 22 khz, 16 bit mono sounds.

Copy the WAV files to the Sounds directory located in the directory that Baldur's Gate II was installed in, and then select this sound set either in character creation or in the "Customize" button off of the Character Record page. For multiplayer, merely send your custom sounds to all of the people you are playing with and have them copy them to the Sounds directory. If you have installed the sounds to your character in your game, everyone will hear your sounds once they copy them into the correct directory.

We recorded our voices with Cool Edit. The only thing we can say to you is, that you should record your material in a room without ambient sounds and you shouldn't speak too close into the microphone. And experiment with lower and higher pitches.

Whatever you do, good luck and have fun
