Good afternoon CCC!
We want to be transparent on the compensation changes per character, you may notice the characters show a flat rate of $150.00 USD, this is a placeholder at the minimum level of our budget.
We've visited the budgeting department, and we've concluded this is the pay structure:
Compensation is paid is per line, rates are negotiable and will vary based on experience, and recording requirements. We plan on 300-500 lines per character.
We're currently working on getting stronger lines and direction for our second round of casting (shortlists)
If there's any questions, please let us know via casting @ vellocetsoftware. com
Thank you!
Thank you so much for the early support for our Grimwar project's casting. It's awesome to hear so many unique voices!
First and foremost, we want to get out of the way that we did change the payment plan on each character, it was meant to be deferred across the board while we figure out line counts, but some characters showed a flat rate. This has been corrected. If there's any questions about this, please let us know!
Secondly, we want to give a little more direction toward what we're looking for in our characters. Some lines are very playful, and we even have some planned that are pretty fun, but the core of these characters is that they're in a war-setting, and sound very disheveled, guttural, and brutalist in their nature.
Hopefully this gives some help when it comes to what we're looking for. If you have something different to offer, we're happy to hear that too!
Thanks for joining us for our first professional casting.

Production
The Scamp has sacrificed much of his humanity in pursuit of becoming something greater.
He views combat like a game, reacting to victory with excitement and defeat with childish frustration.
Beneath that playful exterior, his cybernetic programming can take over completely, reducing him to a cold, efficient machine that sees enemies as nothing more than objectives.
He embraces his cybernetic side, even though he has little control over it, because it makes him stronger.
Voice Direction
Normally energetic, skittish, and unpredictable.
High-pitched with nervous laughter, giggles, and squeals.
Childlike and emotionally impulsive.
When the cybernetic side takes over, shift instantly to a flat, monotone delivery with almost no emotion.
The contrast between his playful personality and mechanical precision is key to the character.
Payment: Paid. Rate negotiable based on role, experience, and line count.
[ABILITY USE]: 'Swinging into the backlines!'
[ABILITY USE]: 'Hydraulics engaging. Ready to move!'
[ON ENEMY ELIMINATION]: 'I love a good hit and run!'
The Hex is the most aggressive and disciplined member of the squad. She speaks only when necessary, and every word has purpose. She expects perfection from herself and everyone around her.
She has little patience for her teammates, but her commitment to discipline keeps the group together. Her orders are short, sharp, and commanding. The only time she shows pride is when discussing spellcasting. She has mastered it through years of training and enjoys demonstrating her skill.
Voice Direction
Constantly tense and controlled.
Fast, forceful delivery.
Every line should feel deliberate and authoritative.
Hit commands with strong emphasis, especially on D and T sounds.
She sounds like someone who is always holding back anger.
Accent: Turkish.
Payment: Paid. Rate negotiable based on role, experience, and line count.
[ABILITY USE]: 'Let's burn them to the ground!'
[ENEMY ELIMINATION]: 'Enemy unit vaporized. Moving forward.'
[ABILITY COOLDOWN]: 'Mana low! I'm falling back.'
The Incubator is the most timid member of the squad. He despises the war and quietly mourns the damage it causes, despite building the machines that keep it going.
Surrounded by louder and more ruthless personalities, he constantly seeks their approval, even when they treat him poorly.
He avoids confronting the consequences of his work by convincing himself he's simply doing his job. He has a genuine passion for engineering and pours care into everything he builds, but his lack of confidence keeps him from taking pride in it.
Voice Direction
Quiet, reserved, and anxious.
Often sounds hesitant or uncertain.
Carries a constant sense of guilt beneath his words.
Becomes more animated when talking about machinery, but quickly retreats back into insecurity.
Sounds like someone trying to keep himself together while always on the edge of breaking.
Payment: Paid. Rate negotiable based on role, experience, and line count.
[ABILITY USE]: 'Fungal apparatus deployed. Come power up!'
[ENEMY ELIMINATION]: 'ka-BOOM! Kill secured.'
[ABILITY USE]: 'My secret technique: Spray and Pray!'
Klepper is the squad's troublemaker. Loud, reckless, and always looking for a laugh, he fits the stereotype everyone expects of him.
Inspired by the myth of RAF "gremlins," he thrives on causing chaos and making things go wrong for the enemy.
Before joining the corps, he spent time in juvenile detention for stealing military vehicles and vandalism.
Beneath the attitude, however, he is exhausted by being dismissed as nothing more than a reckless punk. Much of his behavior is an act. He genuinely cares about his squad and believes his unpredictability and technical skills help keep them alive.
Voice Direction
Cocky, energetic, and mischievous.
English punk accent.
Somewhat high pitched
Speaks with confidence, sarcasm, and playful humor.
Beneath the bravado is a loyal teammate who wants to be respected.
Occasionally let moments of sincerity break through the performance.
Payment: Paid. Rate negotiable based on role, experience, and line count.
[STEALING SKULL FROM ENEMY]: 'Nicked a skull! Anybody want one?'
[BARK]: 'Get to the bleedin' objective!'
[ABILITY USE]: 'Enemy spotted, taking aim from above!'
Bulwark is the most grounded and composed member of the squad.
A former Marine from Philadelphia, he approaches warfare with confidence, discipline, and respect. His background in engineering and theology shaped a unique belief that machines are an extension of the divine, allowing him to channel his faith through the weapons he creates and wields.
Unlike the rest of the corps, Bulwark shows genuine empathy, even toward his enemies. He understands the human cost of war but never hesitates to do what he believes is necessary. Calm, capable, and unwavering, he naturally commands respect.
Voice Direction
Calm, confident, and authoritative.
Speaks with quiet conviction rather than aggression.
Assertive without sounding angry or stressed.
Draws out some vowels during relaxed moments, with occasional subtle slurring.
Enunciates clearly when giving orders or speaking with authority.
American accent with a subtle Philadelphia influence.
Payment: Paid. Rate negotiable based on role, experience, and line count.
[ROUND START]: 'I'll cover you! Let's push forward!'
[ABILITY USE]: 'I'm charging in! Let's see how good they are hand-to-hand.'
[ABILITY USE]: 'Shield generator is online!'
Luminant is cold, calculating, and convinced he stands above the rest of the Warlock Corps.
A former scholar of the church, his deep understanding of theology eventually led him down a darker path. During the war, he abandoned conventional faith in favor of forbidden occult knowledge, wielding supernatural power with absolute confidence.
He views the battlefield as a canvas and his magic as an art form. More fascinated by perfect execution than the lives affected by it, he distances himself from the consequences of his actions and takes pride in his mastery of the occult.
Voice Direction
Cold, composed, and highly intelligent.
Speaks with quiet confidence and subtle arrogance.
Rarely raises his voice, even in combat.
During battle, sound detached and almost entranced by your own power.
Eastern European accent.
Payment: Paid. Rate negotiable based on role, experience, and line count.
[ON ROUND WIN]: 'A flawless tactical victory.'
[ON ROUND START]: 'Let them meet oblivion today!'
[LOSING ROUND]: 'The only failure is death, keep pushing forward!'
