How to make Zoey and Louis scream in Left 4 Dead

With all of the Left 4 Dead I’ve been playing lately, I’ve been caught up in the online world of the game. Campaign and versus are both a lot of fun.

One thing I noticed was how, occasionally in a game, whoever was playing Louis or Zoey would constantly voice spam a yell/scream, as if the character was being attacked. And it was hilarious, Louis has a hilarious and desperate yell, and Zoey has a bloodcurdling scream. The beginning of this video offers a decent sample of Louis:

I was curious how to do the same, and so I hunted around for a while to find the answer. It’s a very simple process:

Enable the console

  1. Open the Settings for Left 4 Dead.
  2. Click on “Keyboard Mouse”
  3. Set the console to be enabled.

Bind the key

  1. Open the console by hitting the “`” key on the keyboard (the one above tab)
  2. Type in the following, replacing “p” with whatever key you want to be associated with the sound: bind p “vocalize playerdeath”
  3. Hit “Submit”

That’s all there is to it! Just hit whatever key you assigned it to to hear your character yell. This, of course, works for all four of the characters, though Zoey and Louis are the most entertaining by far. I recommend using it in moderation — not everybody finds it funny, and you may be kicked for voice spamming if you scream too much.

@Kungen: I dunno for sure, but by default C is used to talk. Perhaps that’s in the way?

@ kungen: i think i know what your problem is. it happened to me too. the problem is you can’t copy-past it. you have to manually type it out in the console.

@Rob: I believe it might be, but I’m not sure how. I’ve definitely seen people using custom audio clips in game.
