[Beyond Skyrim: Bruma] Voice Acting Casting Call

Post » Thu Jun 11, 2015 7:07 pm

EMAIL AUDITIONS TO [email protected] Auditions end 6/16/15. We will contact those who auditioned with results on the 17th. Feel free to audition for as many voicetypes as you wish. Auditions should be in WAV format, with the following format:
VOICETYPENAME_VANAMEAudition
For example, if I were auditioning for FemaleChild, I would name my audition:
FemaleChild_MattiewaggAudition
Voice acting will need to meet a certain standard of quality. Laptop and headset mics are not acceptable - you should at least have access USB or condenser mic. If you are cast, the lines you'll be recording should be at the same level of quality as your audition, if not better.

Beyond Skyrim is a collaboration and framework for modders with ambitious plans to recreate lands outside the region covered by Bethesda's game TESV: Skyrim. Beyond Skyrim: Bruma is a small taste of the province of Cyrodiil - the county Bruma, including quests, new models and textures, NPCs, dungeons, and more.

We're using the system that Bethesda did with their voice acting. NPCs are assigned to 'voice types', with their own unique dialogue lines and voice type-wide general lines. To see this in action in the vanilla game, think of Belethor and Lucan Valerius. They both have the same voice type, and therefore share the same voice recordings for their barter lines - ("Some may call this junk, me, I call them treasures", etc.) - but they also have their unique lines - Belethor’s about selling his sister, the dialogue relating to Lucan’s Golden Claw quest, etc.
We already have multiple voicetypes cast, but we have a few remaining for Bruma release, and, since we are recording soon, we need ALL the voicetypes cast! If you're interested in auditioning, please read the summaries of the voicetypes below. The following is the list of voicetypes we need cast:

FemaleChild

The FemaleChild voicetype should sound like the voice of a female child. It will be the voicetype used for most female human children in Cyrodiil and Bruma.

MaleChild

The MaleChild voicetype should sound like the voice of a male child. It will be the voicetype used for most male human children in Cyrodiil and Bruma.

MaleSilky

The MaleSilky voicetype should sound very noble, and a little condescending. Very refined and mature. An example of something similar to what we want is the voice of the innkeeper in Silver Blood Inn, in Markarth. It will be one of the many voicetypes used for male human NPCs in Bruma and Cyrodiil.

FemaleUniqueAlina

The FemaleUniqueAlina voicetype is a unique voicetype, meaning only one NPC in the entirety of Cyrodiil and Bruma will use this voicetype! You can still be cast for another role if you are cast for a unique role. Alina is part of a quest centered around Cloud Ruler Temple. She was a former member of the Blades, and is a relatively young woman (around 16-18). She is a Breton, and has suffered a lot, but remains strong. For this, audition with a voice you think would fit her character. We have little to no direction on this.
