Volunteering for voice acting, briefing writing

If there is a need, I would like to volunteer for either or both writing the briefings, spell-checking them; or voice acting with proper accents.

I speak excellent English, decent Italian, solid German but with a very good accent (absorbed from movies, video games and from working as a waiter on the seaside during summer - the Germans praised my accent); and very basic Russian. I also acted a bit, generally in English, while I was in high school.
Due to my lifelong history affinity, I know a lot of English, German, and Russian military terms and phrases.
I also come from a Slavic country, so Russian accent wouldn't be a problem, and I wouldn't even need to act to behave like a typical Russian (Slav) (''comrade commander, let's drink some stolichnaya vodka to celebrate your victory''); and I can do both standard American and British accents.

For a possible Soviet campaign, I could really imbue the Slavic mentality and ''spirit'' into those briefing, not create it artificially, as I found the briefings in Soviet Corps not enthusiastic enough - the gentleman's acting was fine, although not with a ''perfect'' (believable Russian English) accent; but the text just wasn't Slavic enough, it was too reserved and cold. As a Slav, I can say sincerely that a true Russian would have been more passionate with his words.

I am a young adult so I couldn't pass for a field marshal like the gentleman who did Feldmarschall Habermann, but I could enact the role of a young intelligence officer who holds the briefings - for any and all nations.

I just want to make this lovely game better and it would be an honour for me to participate in whatever way!

Vielen dank in advance!

Oh please take him up on this the voice acting and briefings for the game could use someone with his enthusiasm to tackle it.

Love this kind of fan based support and help.
