Lines for each role
Each role has their own set of lines.
You can find the full list of lines for each role here:

These lines are here so that you can familiarize yourself with the script. Please note that the audition lines are at the end of each character description.
Submitting auditions
When you audition for a role, you should send the audition lines as a single file so that all audition lines are in the same file. Please do any post-processing on the file that you normally do to make your auditions sound professional (e.g. noise reduction, mouth de-clicker).
Notice on auditions with heavy effects created with an audio editing software
If you plan to send an audition, to which you have added heavy effects using an audio editing software, please send two versions of your audition:
1. One without any software created effects
2. Second with software created effects
This is because we need to evaluate your acting skills based on the version that has no software created effects. This rule does not apply if you create the "effects" with your voice or to any editing that you apply to your voice files to make them sound professional, such as noise reduction. This rule applies only when the original voice file and the modified voice file sound substantially different, e.g. due to voice distortion effects.
Evaluation of auditions
A jury will evaluate the sent auditions based on the following criteria:
- 1. Suitability of the voice for the role (right age, etc.)
2. Voice acting skills (how well you can act the character in question)
3. Technical quality (your microphone quality, etc.) - 4. Reading skills (you read the audition lines right and pronounce the words right)
If your audition does not pass all four evaluation criteria, it will be rejected.
The evaluation of auditions will take up to 2 weeks after each deadline.
Audition process
We will do the casting in rounds, each of which takes about 1 month. Each of the rounds has a deadline, after which we evaluate all sent auditions. If we find a suitable actor for a role, that role will be cast to the actor in question and closed for any further auditions. However, if all sent auditions for a particular role do not meet our voice acting standard, that role will stay open for further rounds until a suitable voice actor is found.
We will not do early castings under any circumstances. We will strictly respect the deadlines of each round. This means that you can count on that we receive your audition for evaluation if you send it before the deadline.
After all the roles have been filled and after we have received all lines from the voice actors, we will evaluate the project as a whole. That is, how all voices work together. At this stage, it can happen that we find that some particular voice does not fit together with all other voices and we need to recast that role. In this case, the original voice actor still gets to keep the money we paid him or her for his or her work.
Payment method
We will pay through PayPal. The recipient is responsible for all taxes and tax-like costs in his or her country.

Ah, adventurer. Thou art truly ready, as no Knight before thee hath been. Hear now Our words: As thou noticed as thou approached Camelot Castle, a great battle hath been fought recently in these fields. Know thou that Merlin himself came to aid Us here as We battled the foul Ixoth.
Thou disgracest this noble court with thine impure presence. We have been lenient with thee, but no more. Thy name shall be spoken no more. We hereby strip thee of thy title, thy lands, and thy standing as a Knight. Begone from Our sight!
Well met, adventurer. How goeth thy search for the Amulet of Yendor?

Hah! Another puny Knight seeks death. I shall dine well tonight, then tomorrow, Camelot Castle shall fall!
Let's see... Baked? No. Fried? Nay. Broiled? Yea verily, that is the way I like my Knight for dinner.
Thou hast not won yet, Knight. By the gods, I shall return and dog thy steps to the grave!
