Dota 2 - Heroes' Time: Open Casting Call Part 1
Project Overview
Hello everyone and thanks for checking out this casting call! My name is Matthew Betley and I'm a voice actor who recently got permission from artist Vichel Lim (Twitter|deviantART) to dub a series of comics she created based on the computer game Dota 2. See the video above for my most recent release to get a feel for the overall tone.
Right now I'm looking for voice actors who can fill the roles in a couple upcoming episodes. My plan is to release one comic dub every other Saturday and this first casting call is mostly focused on the two releases scheduled for January 2021: "Ancient Apparition's Time" and "Elder Titan's Time." However, Elder Titan does make a return appearance in a later comic so I've included some of his lines from that as well. I'll want the lines from whoever is cast by December 20 for Ancient Apparition's Time and by December 31 for Elder Titan's Time.
You don't need to have a top-of-the-line XLR mic or home studio, but I do have a baseline for recording quality. I need it to be clear enough that I can isolate your voice from any room noise around it. No clicks, no buzzes, no peaking and minimal reverb. Also, don't use any filters or distortion, just basic cleanup at the most. Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing what you have to offer!

For anyone not familiar with the Dota 2 universe, it is a team combat-based game and creeps are the minions who fight on behalf of both teams. The Radiant creeps that appear in this comic are shown as scientists in a hidden facility, as a spoof of the SCP Foundation.
Creeps do not have canon voices in the game itself and they aren't really coded for gender, so I'm open to any interpretation. There are three different creeps with lines in this comic, but Creep #1 has a lot more lines then the others do. All the audition lines here are spoken by Creep #1, but anyone who auditions for this role will also be considered for Creeps #2 and #3.
Whoever is cast will need to turn in their lines by December 20.
The comic, to help with context for these lines:
Ancient Apparition's Time
Long before the creation of this world, even before the birth of the universe, something existed, awaiting the end of all things: SCD-003.
You're here to protect us while we bring it to the lab. Even if it's been no more than ice for months, we can't afford to take risks with something like this.
Sound the alarm! Full lockdown until we find it!
As mentioned above, Creep #2 only has this one line in the entire comic. You may read for just this role, but I'll also consider anyone who reads for Creep #1 and #3.
Whoever is cast will need to turn in their lines by December 20.
The comic, for context:
Ancient Apparition's Time
Knock knock! (pause, then turn to colleagues) Hah, I told you! It's dead.
As with Creep #2, anyone who reads for Creep #1 will also be considered for this role, but here are Creep #3's only lines in the comic for clarity's sake.
Whoever is cast will need to turn in their lines by December 20.
The comic again for context:
Ancient Apparition's Time
We've lost power!
Where is it?
It's gone!
NOTE: This role is a double-cast!
"Elder Titan's Time" is almost entirely just narrated as a story, with some nonverbals from Elder Titan himself added in where they apply. However, I'd like to cast the same person as both Elder Titan and the narrator if possible. I want someone who can tell the game's creation legend with an appropriate amount of gravitas and make it sound impressive its own, not requiring the audience to already know the world of Dota 2.
Elder Titan is a playable character in Dota 2, meaning he has a canon voice and I'd like the voice actor to somewhat match it. However, do not apply filtering or distortion to your audition. I want to hear how close you can get to the way he speaks and acts on your own without any effects. See the video below for Elder Titan's official voice lines:
Elder Titan voice
Also, Elder Titan makes a second appearance later on in a different comic in the series, and has a lot more lines there. The last audition side is actually a line from his later appearance to give a feel for him as the character, rather than the narrator. Ideally I'd have whoever is cast reprise their role for the second comic.
Whoever is cast will need to turn in their lines by December 31.
The two comics Elder Titan appears in:
Elder Titan's Time
Weaver's Time
The Titans had seized the newly created universe's energy and formed the world. They molded earth, carved mountains, and filled oceans: they forged souls to life. To the Titans, nothing was impossible.
They grew selfish, using the power for themselves. Striving to better themselves, they carved, forged and reshaped their own bodies and spirits to perfection!
The Titans' single-mindedness would soon be their downfall.
Weaver, you're adding chaos to the world. It's not funny. Have you forgotten your duty as a Weaver? How are you going to fix this?
