In my opinion, Bioshock Infinite is one of the greatest videogames of all time and it features some of the best voice acting and voice direction in a videogame. Ken Levine is my greatest inspiration and a lot of the acting in my projects ie. Brave New World is inspired by his work. Ken Levine was directly involved in the sound design and voice direction for Thief, System Shock 2, and the entire Bioshock series.
“"Bring us the girl, and wipe away the debt", that was the deal. The details elude me now. But the details wouldn't change a goddamn thing.”

BioShock Infinite is the third game in the BioShock series. Announced on August 12, 2010, it was Irrational Games' final project. It was released on March 26, 2013 for PC (Steam), Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3;[2][5] August 29th, 2013 for Mac (Mac App Store and Steam)[3] and March 17th, 2015 for Linux (Steam). BioShock Infinite is not a direct sequel/prequel to any of the previous BioShock games, and it takes place in an entirely different setting, although it shares similar features, gameplay and concepts with the previous games.
Conditions:
$150 is paid for the cast audition. No additional lines beyond the audition will be required or needed. The audition has all the lines in the script.
To further clarify, the audition is all that is needed and I will accept any microphone quality. As in all projects of "Unique Audition", no other correspondence will be needed after you post your audition. Your audition is cast. You are paid. And you are done. You do not send me anything after you submit your audition.
Payment:
Paid by Paypal one day after the deadline. Please have a Paypal account ready.
Deadline:
Deadline is April 27th. Last time to submit is April 26th at 11:59 PM (Pacific time). Please note that Casting Call Club closes out projects one day before. Even though the project will be closed on April 26th, the true deadline is April 26th at 11:59 PM (Pacific time). Payment will be sent on April 27th.
REQUIREMENTS:
Any microphone. I don't care what you use. My projects usually require an XLR microphone and I have very strict guidelines but for this audition I will take any microphone quality.
Why Bioshock Infinite?
Because the actress, Courtnee Draper was absolutely amazing. I honestly believe that she has some of the most realistic acting I've ever seen in a videogame. It doesn't feel like an anime or a cartoon. Her acting is 'real'. It feels 'real' and it doesn't feel like a person 'acting'. I personally prefer a more realistic tone (not cartoony) to acting and she nails it in Bioshock Infinite. She can nail down all emotions whether it be fear, anger, pain, shock, guilt, laughter, fright, sadness, determination, happiness, joy, etc.
Author's note:
Please note that Casting Call Club tends to close out projects one day prior to the deadline.
Please note that no feedback on acting will be provided to create a level playing field for everyone. No response whatsoever will be given.

The point of this audition isn't to do a 'voice' that sounds like Elizabeth or to sound like her. Feel free to use your natural speaking voice. If you do happen to sound like Courtnee Draper, great! If not, great! The point of this audition isn't about Elizabeth, it's about you and your approach to acting each line. Don't worry about trying to sound like her.
Tone: Soprano (Low A-High F) to Mezzo Soprano, Range G3-A5 (preferred) or your natural speaking voice.
Sound signature: https://youtu.be/UUBIRc4QEcA?t=368
Microphone: Any
Accent: North-American. No exceptions. Can't take a British accent for this.
Age: 22 to 28 (but I'll take any age range. I care more about the acting rather than if you match the character)
Words: 130 words. The entire audition is the entire script.
Payment: $150 paid for the cast audition. No additional lines or script needed after an actress is chosen. Payment is $1.15 per word.
Conditions:
The script is the entire audition. It is 130 words for $150. You do not have to submit any lines beyond this audition. You will be paid on the very day that you are cast. The only requirement is that all lines in the audition are completed. As all projects of "Unique Audition", it is a paid audition where the chosen audition is paid the full $150 on the day that she is cast.

CrescentMoonBB's audition was surprising and shocking. I had to adjust the microphone settings and hear through the static. But underneath it all, there was sound, solid acting and I really want that acting to shine with new equipment.
The entire purpose of the "Unique Audition" series is to help actors and actresses to get faster to where they want to go. Whether it's an upgrade from a cellphone speaker to a studio microphone or from USB to XLR. Fantastic job CrescentMoon!
