How to install Choicer Voicer packs

Installing content packs for The Choicer Voicer is drag-and-drop simple once you know where things go. There is no mod manager and no special tooling. Packs are just folders of files that you place inside the game's pack directories. This guide walks through the whole process and covers the mistakes that trip most people up.

1. Own the game

Packs are useless without the game itself. The Choicer Voicer is sold by YeahMaybe on itch.io for Windows and Linux. There is no free version, and no site (including this one) is allowed to redistribute it.

2. Locate your game folder

Find the folder where you extracted or installed the game. That is the folder containing the game executable. If you downloaded through the itch.io app, right-click the game in your library and choose the option to open its install folder. If you downloaded the zip manually, it is wherever you extracted it.

3. Know the pack folders

The game uses one folder per pack type. Each pack goes inside the folder that matches its type:

• packs_voice: voice packs and dub packs
• packs_player: contestant / player packs
• packs_judges: judge packs
• packs_studio: studio packs
• packs_menu: menu packs
• packs_chatter: Twitch chatter packs

You can open these folders straight from the game's main menu, which is the easiest way to be certain you are in the right place.

4. Unzip the pack correctly

Most packs download as a zip. Extract it so that the pack's own folder sits directly inside the matching packs_* folder. For a voice pack called "MyPack", the result should look like:

The Choicer Voicer/
└── packs_voice/
    └── MyPack/
        ├── clip1.wav
        ├── clip2.wav
        └── ...

Restart the game (or reopen the relevant selection screen) and the pack should appear.

Common mistakes

• Double-nested folders. Many zip tools extract to MyPack/MyPack/clip1.wav. Recent versions of the game usually still find the files (we tested v0.5.1), but the clean layout every tool expects is one pack folder with the files directly inside it. If a pack misbehaves, flattening the extra folder is the first thing to try.
• Wrong pack folder. A judge pack dropped into packs_voice (or vice versa) will not show up. Check which type the pack is before extracting.
• Non-OGV video files. The game runs on Godot and only plays OGV (Ogg Theora) video. A dub pack with an MP4 or WebM instead of dub_video.ogv will fail to load.
• Loose files without a pack folder. Audio files dumped directly into packs_voice are not a pack. Every pack must be its own folder.

Still stuck?

The official manual documents every pack format in detail. If a specific pack refuses to load, compare its contents against the format requirements, or ask its creator. And if you want to build your own, start with our voice pack guide.

Quick questions

Do I need a mod manager?

No. Packs are just folders you place inside the game's own pack directories. There is no extra tool to install.

Why doesn't my pack show up after I install it?

The most common cause is a messy folder layout from unzipping. Recent game versions cope with an extra folder level (we verified v0.5.1 finds nested files), but one clean pack folder inside the matching packs_* directory is the layout that always works.

Can dub packs use MP4 or WebM video?

No. The game only plays OGV video. Convert other formats to OGV before installing a dub pack.

Do packs work on Linux?

Yes. The Choicer Voicer runs on Windows and Linux, and packs install the same way on both.
