From the Verge to the Void
Project Overview
From the Verge to the Void is a game being produced by Team Sunbear for the competition Dare To Be Digital.
Dare to be Digital is a competition run by Abertay University in Scotland. Every year 15 teams are accepted (from 150+ who apply) to make a game and have it exhibited at Protoplay (Scottish game convention). After the convention the top three teams from these 15 are chosen and shortlisted for a BAFTA. In the end one team walks away with the BAFTA.
We are currently part of the final 15 of this years competition.
Our game is a three dimentional FPS platformer with Oculus Rift support set in a Space Western themed world.
In each level you must explore the wreckage of a derelict spaceship while collecting loot. The main goal of the level is to find the ships black box and return to your ship before time runs out. This is where we need voice actors. When picked up the black box will begin playing an audio file containing a piece of dialogue that will describe what happened to the ship before you found it.
We need a voice actor to perform this recording for the first level, in which the ship being explored is a large cargo transport ship (pictured below). It will be 2-3 minutes in lenght (maximum) and they will be performing as the captain of the ship making a final recording to the black box.
We are a small team compised of students, but we have several years of game development as a team and over half a dozen awards from smaller game competitions we have participated in and won. We feel like this could be quite a good opportinity for anyone interested, considering that if we are succesful anyone involved will have their names credited to a BAFTA winning project.
Please choose any or all of the lines given for the audition, I have provided more detail along with the lines below

The captain has a deep gravelly voice, and speaks with an accent somewhere between a Southern drawl and a typical western. He's middle aged, very worldly and experienced; he sounds tough but not so stern that a hearty laugh would seem out of character.
In this clip he has been shot in the chest and is bleeding out as he speaks. His ship is in ruins around him, his entire crew is dead, and he is recording his story onto the ships black box with his final moments.
He should sound in pain, but not overtly so. His voice will get more rough and strained as the clip progresses. He will occasionally have a coughing fit or spit blood during the dialogue.
I ain't used this thing in a while but I suppose I oughta let folks know what happened here; - *VIOLENT COUGH* - warn em; -*spit* - fore the dark takes me...
Let me tell ya, that poor bastard looked out there with longing in his eyes. Knowin' there's somethin' out there to make a man look at the void like that, well - *cough* - it almost makes a man thankful his lungs are collapsin' - *half hearted chuckle* - *VIOLENT COUGHING FIT* -
I managed to make it back here to my quarters before the airlocks blew, sealed her up good and tight. Damn fool I am, I thought I was safe. By the time I realised I wasn't alone it was too late; I took two slugs to the chest before my hands found that bastards neck.
