THE SOMEGUY SERIES REMASTER
A PROJECT FOR FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS
-----------------------------------------------------------
SYNOPSIS
------------------------
The Someguy Series is a series of interactive story addons for Fallout: New Vegas. They have gotten high praise from fans and critics alike for their writing, stories, and gameplay.
One area, however, that has been seen as inconsistent is voice acting. There are characters throughout the series that fall in one or more of these categories:
- Bad acting
- Bad audio quality
- Missing lines
The Someguy Series Remaster project aims to remaster the original audio of several characters and hire new actors to revoice a handful of the original cast.
WHAT IS MY ROLE IN THIS?
----------------------------------
I will be directing all voice actors cast for a role.
WHAT IS YOUR ROLE IN THIS?
----------------------------
I am looking for various actors who are willing to bring the cast of this project to life. The cast is wide and varied and will need a strong cast of voice actors to deliver the lines.
I am not super picky about microphone quality but would prefer if the mic is around the range of a Blue Yeti.
INSTRUCTIONS
---------------------
If you are cast for a role, you will receive a script through Gmail or Voice123 DMs with recording instructions, deadline, accent specifications, character bios, and line directions. If you want to discuss alternate communication methods, we can do that through Voice123 DMs.
I expect lines to be sent back for all characters following the correct organization.
It would be best if you were recording through audio recording software like Audacity or Adobe Audition. You should export and submit your audition as a .wav audio file with the settings of 44.1 kHz, 16 bits, and mono recording format. I would also like all lines to be separated.
I will open more roles over time. If you are not cast for a role, don't be discouraged from auditioning for another, as more roles will be posted over time. If you're already cast for a role and want to audition for another one - you can do so.

FAQ
----------
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
- Chuck Bowdrie is a former member of the NCR Rangers. He defected from the outfit and recently joined its opposition, Caesar's Legion.
- [QUOTE]: "Our client (The NCR, naturally) reports that Captain Chuck Bowdrie recently defected to Caesar's Legion, but only after killing two fellow rangers while on patrol. The NCR had assigned the rangers to Bowdrie's unit in the hopes of monitoring his activities (as there was some suspicion of collusion with the Legion). Unfortunately for the rangers, Bowdrie sniffed out their true motives and decided to jump ship in a murderous fashion. He's got all kinds of dirt on the NCR, so they want him tagged and bagged. He's rumored to be making his way east in the hopes of crossing into Legion territory. He's a sneaky bastard, so watch yourself."
- [QUOTE]: "Chuck Bowdrie, a senior NCR Ranger, recently defected to Caesar's legion. Before jumping ship, he killed two fellow rangers while on patrol. Our client wants this guy terminated with extreme prejudice. We don't have many leads, but he's said to be on the run-up north. I happen to know that several rangers in Bowdrie's old troop used to crash at Field's shack, close to Nellis. You might try there. Good luck."
- He's 35-45 years old.
- Southern American accent. No exceptions.
- His voice should be similar to his original voice acting, just in higher quality. There is also a signature of the original VA. You’re free to experiment; know that the voice must be similar to either the original VA.
- VOICE SIGNATURE (0:47 if you want to listen to the signature right away)
NOTE: The combat and death lines are only for the audition script. They're not representative of the final script.
[You ambush a bounty hunter who's been on your trail for a good while][You taunt them for their incompetence right before you open fire]
(Sleazy laugh)(Dirty grin) You're dumber than you look, kid. Did you really expect to get the drop on a seasoned ranger?
|
|
|
(Laughs, then lets a faint sigh) Either way, I'm not here to talk. Close your eyes, kid. I'll make it quick.
[COMBAT LINES][SHOUTING THROUGHOUT]
LIGHTS OUT, YOU SUM' BITCH!!!
ONLY ONE OF US IS COMING OUT ALIVE, AND IT'S SURE AS HELL GONNA BE ME!!!
(Frustrated) ARGHH!!! STOP MOVING, CUNT!!!
YOU CAN FLEE ALL YOU WANT! YOU'RE JUST GIVING ME A CLEAR SHOT!
[You're searching for your opponent][You're taunting them]
(Whistling like you're calling for your dog) Come on out, motherfucker!
(Frustrated) Goddamnit! Where that son of a bitch go?!?!?!
(Frustrated laugh) You're just delaying the inevitable, kid. You should've known who you were messing with. Now come the fuck out!
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
- Luther is a local raider who was employed to watch over a man named Mr. Fisk.
- Luther is a hot-headed, quick-to-temper raider who stumbles upon the deaths of his employer and his employees. He is shocked, angry, and most of all confused as to what he has walked into.
- Luther is more prone to think with his emotions than his brain. As a result, he is quick to anger and is more likely to resort to violence than assess the situation. He often lets the emotions get the best of him but is willing to listen to reason during brief periods of tranquility if it means he gets a clear answer.
- He's 28-35 years old.
- African American or North American accent. No other exceptions.
- His voice should be similar to his original voice acting, just in higher quality. There is also a signature of the original VA. You’re free to experiment; know that the voice must be similar to either the original VA.
- VOICE SIGNATURE (0:36 If you want to go straight to the signature)
NOTE: The combat and death lines are only for the audition script. They're not representative of the final script.
[You walk into your employer's office to see it has been destroyed][All the former inhabitants have been killed][You see an individual standing over the dead body of your employer, gun in hand][You question their presence]
(Shocked)(Angry) What the fuck happened here? Who the fuck are you?
[Person asks you the same question]
(A bit calmer)(Confused)(Not sure what's going on) I'm Luther, with the local Viper crew. We got hired by Mr. Fisk to work as muscle... since things were getting hairy around here, you know?
|
|
(Getting angry again)(Confrontational) Now I show up, and all I see is Mr. Fisk and his workers all deader than dogshit, and you just nosing around the joint.
|
|
(Angry)(Assertive)(Livid) I ain't gonna ask again. Who are you, and what the fuck are you doing here? Better yet, start explaining why Mr. Fisk is dead!
[Person says that the corpse is only a body double, and your employer wants you to meet him in a disclosed location][You believe them]
(Calming down)(Confused)(Taking deep breaths in between pauses) Well... I mean, I don't know... shit, Mr. Fisk is even trickier than I thought. Ok, we'll meet him there. Later.
[Person says they were sent here to investigate your employer's murder][You *don't* believe them]
(Angry)(Getting ready fight) Oh, really? That's a load of shit, I say. Mr. Fisk promised us a nice payday, so I think I'm gonna cut it out of your hide!
[COMBAT LINES][SHOUTING THROUGHOUT]
YOU'RE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER!!!
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU BLEED!!!
WHERE THE FUCK YOU GO!!! COME OUT!!!

(Got shot) ARGHH!!!

CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
- Anna is a mercenary who is currently hanging out at the Short Stick Saloon.
- Anna is one of many independent contractors in the Mojave Wasteland. She does various jobs someone in her profession would do. However, due to PMC outfits such as Shadow Company soaking up all the high-paying jobs, mercs of her level are left to take low-pay contracts. Due to this, she mostly just sits in the Short Stick Saloon, hoping something comes up.
- Anna is a rather chill individual. She takes it one day at a time and goes with the flow. She is very knowledgeable in her field and is good at what she does. She isn't braggadocious, she just knows her skillset and how much it's worth.
- She's 28-35 years old.
- North American accent. No other exceptions.
- Her voice should be similar to his original voice acting, just in higher quality. There is also a signature of the original VA. You’re free to experiment; know that the voice must be similar to either the original VA.
- VOICE SIGNATURE (0:25 If you want to go straight to the signature)
NOTE: The combat and death lines are only for the audition script. They're not representative of the final script.
[Person asks you what's work like in the area]
(Chuckles) As much as you see me sitting on my ass in this bar, you should have a clear picture.
|
|
(Sighs) It's feast or famine, really. I get most of my income from the caravans and merchants, so it can vary with the seasons.
|
|
(Annoyed tone) Shadow Company snatches up most of the contracts, and we independents are left to pick up the scraps.
|
|
I did hear a rumor that some new firm might be moving into the Mojave... "Martin's Marines" was the name. *Pfft* Who knows?
[Person asks what you're doing in this area]
(Sarcastic tone)(Laughs) It's the beautiful scenery and fine cuisine, not to mention the handsome men - like Doc Friday, for example.
|
|
No, I'm looking for work. There are always contracts for caravans between Novac and the 188 trading post, so I'm where I need to be.
[Person asks you your opinion on the war]
I think it's bad for business. Manpower is an expensive commodity; I hate to see it wasted so much.
|
|
I just want a clear winner, really. This stalemating and ongoing attrition is destabilizing the entire region to nobody's benefit.
[Person asks what you know about a man named "Marko"]
He's some kind of legendary killer from the plains. I hear he enslaved an entire town and then burned it to the ground. *Phew*
[COMBAT LINES][SHOUTING THROUGHOUT]
GET SOME!!!
I'M TAKING YOU OUT, PUNK!!!
(Got shot) *Screams of pain and agony*
(Got shot) GODDAMNIT!!!
[DEATH SOUNDS]
(Screams of pain and agony)
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
- Albert Quisling is a former NCR scientist who defected to the Legion, becoming their key source of medicine.
- Once a scientist of the New California Republic, Dr. Quisling defected to Caesar's Legion due to fraternal ties with his brother who was a Legionary. He gave invaluable technical data to the Legion, along with information on the NCR's inner workings. He currently works in an underground lab, producing large quantities of medicine for the Legion. Several analysts believe he may also be working to manufacture chemical weapons for Caesar's Legion.
- Dr. Quisling is an adept scientist, probably one of the best out there. However, with his talents comes a very high arrogance. He has a strong disdain for authority and is not a team player.
- He's 45-55 years old.
- North American accent. No other exceptions.
- His voice should be similar to his original voice acting, just in higher quality. There is also a signature of the original VA. You’re free to experiment; know that the voice must be similar to either the original VA.
- VOICE SIGNATURE (0:22 If you want to go straight to the signature)
NOTE: The combat and death lines are only for the audition script. They're not representative of the final script.
[Someone walks into your bunker unannounced]
(Very annoyed) Ugh. I've told you for the last time, don't disturb...
|
|
(Confused) Wait, you're not one of them - what are you doing here?
|
|
(Stark realization)(Heart drops) I know, you're working for the NCR... you've... you've come to kill me, haven't you?
[Person tells you to calm down][Says they're to turn you into the authorities]
(Nervous) I... I just don't know... I can't go back to the NCR. Treason is a capital offense.
|
|
Besides, Caesar's (KAI-ZAR) men will probably track me down and kill me before I even get to the gallows.
[Person tries to convince by trying to sound smart][They didn't convince you]
Stop expectorating such nonsense, you fatuous ape!
I knew you wouldn't understand. You're just a callous troglodyte, no better than the rest!
[Person asks for your side of the story]
You're a perspicacious (PUR-SPUH-KEI-SHUHS) one, aren't you?
|
|
It's fair to say that I'm a fish out of water here.
|
|
I joined the Legion after my brother kept pressuring me. He was strong in life and found a real purpose in the Legion.
|
|
I never had a shortage of work in the NCR, but the damn bureaucracy was always weighing me down, and they constantly hampered my research.
|
|
John said the Legion would give me freedom and that I could be part of something special.
|
|
The NCR had me bottled up like a lab rat, researching mundane bullshit, ignoring my real talents, so I defected.
[Person says they're gonna take you in no matter what][You decide to take your "Plan B"]
(Coughing throughout)(Having trouble breathing) That's alright. I keep cyanide hidden in my coat pocket in case of such an event.
|
|
(Coughing throughout)(Having trouble breathing) In the course of our conversation, I managed to fish it out and place it in my drink. (Deathly last gasp)

- He's 25-35 years old.
- North American accent. No other exceptions.

[Unauthorized personnel stumbles upon the bunker]
(Assertive)(Shout) Halt! State your business here.
|
|
(Assertive)(Shout) You're trespassing on Shadow Company territory.
[Person they're a major in your outfit][It's very obvious they're not who they claim to be]
(Pftt)(Laughs)(Say in threatening tone)(Yelling) What? That's the biggest bunch of bullshit I've ever heard. Get the fuck out of here, idiot.
[Person threatens you][You could tell they're not playing around]
(Intimidated)(Nervous) Uh, sure. But, uh... (Clears throat) watch out for the guards... and... uh... stuff... I'll shut up now.
[Person says they mean no trouble][You're tired of them wasting your time]
(Sarcastic tone)(Laughs) Oh, really? You know, since you asked so politely, I'll let you pass.
|
|
(Assertive)(Threatening) There's no way you're getting in, jackass. In fact, I'm tired of shooting lakelurks. It's time for some target practice.

- He's 25-35 years old.

When I find you I'm going to eat your spleen.
I can smell your fear.
Don't think I don't know where you are.
