"no voice" option for PC

I am so excited about BG:EE that I can literally not fall asleep. So let me mention one thing that has been on my mind:
I would like to request an option to have the PC have NO voice at all. I appreciate the many awesome voice packs included in BG, but there is a proud tradition of silent and nameless CRPG heroes, and in my imagination my PC always sounds just a bit different from any available voice pack. I would be delighted if a silent PC were an option in BG:EE.
Thank you, and I apologize if this has been discussed or if the option already exists (I am no BG expert... yet).
I just cannot express my appreciation for the work Beamdog is doing here. You guys are pioneers and heroes to me. Good luck, I hope you all make tons of money off this project.

X stands for a random name that will be shown as the name of this soundset ingame. Put the files into the "Sound" folder where Baldurs Gate is installed. Now you can select this new soundset at creation time.
If you want a silent character, just record silence (with microphone not attached) and copy it for every file.
P.S.: this is of course the process for the original Baldurs Gate 1. BG2 will differ slightly and BG:EE will use .ogg format instead of .wav and possibly have different quality settings.
Sorry, but that required capslock.
...Drow sign language, maybe?
I dunno; I'm just tossing around ideas, here.
"I shot the Cop using the cop's GUN, by grabing it from his pokets and then doing a backlift , landing back on my motorcycle and shotting the COP, all that in a split second..."
I don't know if it would require a lot more work, but since a half second of silent recording could do the trick and other voicesets are already in use, I think it wouldn't be difficult to implement.
