FFXIV video: "If Final Fantasy villians knew real mind control"
Project Overview
Greetings everyone.
I'm Ashadow and I make Final Fantasy XIV videos on YouTube. You can find my channel and an example of my work here:
https://youtu.be/DfuRUlv98-8?si=oxXY3Jks2xchvHGT
I am currently looking for multiple voice actors for my next project. This video is intended to be a dramatization of coercive persuasion techniques, set in the FFXIV universe.
It is meant as both entertainment and an educational video to help people understand how to protect themselves from these techniques.
I'd like to be clear: this story will delve heavily into the subjects of psychological control and emotional abuse.
Requirements
Ability to record audio at a professional or near-professional quality level. It should at minimum match the audio quality of my previous videos.
Be willing to join a Discord call for the recording session(s) and receive some basic voice direction. In my experience, this is the best way to ensure the lines come out the way I want them.
Feel free to audition for multiple roles, if you can make your voice sound distinct enough to pass as different characters.
Payment
I’ll offer payment based on the number of lines each character has. The rates are negotiable within reason.
Payments can be sent via PayPal. If you prefer another method, it must be one accepted by my Swedish bank.
Voice Actor
Leader of the group the plot centers around and primary antagonist of the story. Manipulates their followers through empathy, love, authority and isolation. Can be male or female.
The most important attribute of this character is their ability to project warm authority. That is, the ability to make others trust and like them, but also command respect and compliance. Some examples of warm authority are Dumbledore from Harry Potter, Aragorn from Lord of the Rings, Captain America from The Avengers and Mufasa from the Lion King.
Basically, The Master is a villain, but they should feel like the exact opposite of a villain.
