A friend of mine has embarked on a video game project, and he asked me to be his Vocal Casting Director. So, when he told me he needed high quality voices for a few villains, I thought Bay12.
As of right now, I don't have a script or lines to run for the characters, so this is primarily an interest check. I love to hear voice samples though. When I do receive a script, or just the lines to run, I'll post them in this thread. I will also ask that, for the official auditions, the same lines are used for each character, so I'm not looking at two different auditions on two different lines.
I'm looking for 5 voices.
1 Big Bad, who is cold, calculating, and manipulative.
I will also require 4 Lesser Villains, for whom I was given the keyword insane. You should be able to give your voice a deranged quality for these roles, and naturally we'll want different styles of madness. More details on these as they come to me.
Feel free to audition for multiple spots when the time comes.
For anyone who tries out, whichever spot you shoot for, there are some requirements:
1. Good recording quality. You'll probably need a stable, fixed position, good quality microphone, and depending on how breathy you are, maybe a breath screen or whatever they're called. Just take a ruined sock, and stretch it over a wire hanger, should stop 'wind ' sounds nicely. If you're still having trouble, try turning the mic sensitivity down.
2. Vocal variance. I was asked to make sure you could vary your pitch somewhat, as my friend only has so many filters.
3. You can't be afraid to cuss a little. As stated before, I don't have a script yet, but expect the occasional F bomb at the minimum.
As for the game itself, it's going to be a Horror RPG, and it'll eventually come out on the PC. I don't have many more details, but what I do have can be found
