Project Overview
INTRODUCTION
Hello! This casting call is for “Cowboy Life Simulator”, an immersive and relaxing single-player Wild West ranching simulator. The game is being developed by our small studio, and we’re looking for talented voice actors to bring some life to the small town of Bravestand! We’re specifically casting for a variety of non-lexical vocalizations — short, expressive sounds such as grunts, sighs, chuckles, breaths, or exclamations. These sounds will be used for NPC of different ages and genders.

We’re an indie game studio looking for a voice actor to record a library of non-lexical vocalizations (grunts, sighs, short exclamations, breaths, chuckles - no full words) for NPC characters.
In addition to these non-verbal sounds, we also need specific combat lines that must be shouted clearly, as they represent combat reactions and may be heard from a distance in-game.
Game setting: Wild West
Role: Adult Male, age range 30-45
Emotions
For each category (e.g., Greetings, Approval, Excitement), please provide a total of 10-15 variations. These should include a mix of different intonations and intensities (softer, louder, more subtle, more expressive).
Greetings - brief acknowledging sounds when the NPC meets the player (e.g., polite hum, soft nod-grunt, light chuckle)
Farewells - closing/exit sounds (e.g., polite exhale, short “mm”)
Giving - handing an item, but nothing heavy. We don’t need hard sighs
Informing - non-verbal sounds indicating explanation or description (e.g., thoughtful “hmm”, confirming “mm-hm” style hum). For example, explaining something, describing an object, pointing at stuff, or counting to three.
Questioning - uncertainty/doubt (e.g., rising “huh?”, inquisitive hum)
Approval - positive acknowledgement (e.g., satisfied “mm”, small pleased exhale)
Disapproval - negative reaction (e.g., “tch”, disappointed exhale)
Excitement - big reaction to shocking news (e.g., sharp inhale, surprised “oh!”-like non-lexical)
Funny - reacting to something amusing (e.g., snort, short chuckle)
Combat Lines (shouted)
These lines represent intense combat situations and must be clearly shouted, as they can be heard from a distance:
“You bleed real pretty. Might hang your shirt as a trophy!”
“I’m already halfway in the grave... don’t mind draggin’ you down with me!”
“I’ll shoot your legs off just to watch you crawl!”
All non-verbal sounds must remain non-verbal (except the combat lines) and clearly audible without distortion. Please ensure recordings are clean, with no background noise or room reverberation.
Requirements:
Clean audio from a home studio or better
Sample rate: 44.100 kHz, bit rate 16, mono
Ability to deliver variation across multiple takes and intensities
Format: WAV, no processing (no EQ, compression, or limiting)
- english
- male adult
- wild west
