Project LitFoD (A Comedy Horror Game)

Project LitFoD (A Comedy Horror Game)

Project Overview

Project LitFoD is a comedy horror game about a comedian trapped in a realm between life and death. We need a collection of talented folks to give voices to our collection of characters, from normal humans in the British comedy scene to a disgusting living puppet.

This is an exciting debut title for new indie game studio, Witcraft Productions. We are currently pre-funding and the entire team are volunteering... for now. We would love to pay voice actors and musicians post release or following a successful crowdfunding campaign - this can be discussed during or post interviews.

We are a team made up of developers and artists who would be considered junior or entry level, so we welcome new and undiscovered talent to apply.

What to expect:

  • The first stage is recording samples of your lines, preferably in AABB format.

  • If we like what we hear, we'll arrange a quick call, with Creative Director David Mincer, to get to know you a bit more and see how you take directions.

  • If chosen for the part, we will have recording sessions over Discord or Google Meet. You will be expected to record the lines on your end and send them over to us to edit. Professional equipment is not a must, we're going for a rough soundscape.

This is likely a 16 or 18 rated game, so applicants should be comfortable with language and violence.

Latest Updates

  • Cast and Musician Decision

    Hi,

    Thank you everyone for your talented auditions and interviews. It took us some time to make a final decision, but we finally have the cast and musician roles filled.

    Here is the official announcement:

    Iain Brophy as Richard

    Dylan Belardinelli as the Storyteller

    Alexander Von Everec as Arnold

    Mikki Baylon as Ren and Amateur Comedian

    Moxxifever as Death

    Izzy Matthews and Elin Oskarsson as Corporate Corpses

    Additional voices by Alice De Luca, Vincent Grant, Issabelle, and Mikki Baylon

    Music by elleodin

    You were all very talented and the final decision was based on who fit the role best. It was clear that you all had the potential to bring something interesting to the game and we encourage anyone who is new to VA or music to keep going and build that portfolio.

    Thank you so much for the support, your enthusiasm alone has motivated us and we hope you all become future players when the game is released (hopefully next year). We will make sure to post updates when pages go live.

  • Interview Updates

    Hi,

    We have been blown away by the amazing talent who have auditioned for roles on project LitFoD.

    For voice actors: We have started reaching out about booking interviews so please keep an eye on your CCC DMs, Discord, or email for updates.

    For musicians: updates will be coming in June, we will share another update as soon as we have started reaching out about interviews.

    If you have not heard anything at this time, this is not the end yet. It is taking longer than expected to go through the casting process alongside usual development tasks - and you're all just so talented it makes it difficult to choose.

    Many thanks again for offering your talent to bring this project to life. We look forward to meeting some of you very soon.

  • Auditions Closed

    Hi all,

    Thank you to everyone who has applied and shown an interest in our indie game. We will now begin reviewing the 300+ submissions sent in. If you have been selected for interviews, we'll try to reach out through Discord or email, whichever you have provided. I will also send a message on Casting Call Club, so keep an eye out on your inbox.

    For voice actors: we'll be reviewing your auditions and starting to compile an interview shortlist. We'll hopefully be reaching out about interviews in the next week.

    For musicians: it may take a bit longer to narrow down an interview shortlist, because we'll be reviewing your portfolios alongside the demos you submitted. However, we hope to have contacted all potential interviewees within the next month.

    Thank you again for all your submissions. There's a lot of great talent out there that we are looking forward to working with soon.

  • Deadline Approaching

    Hi,

    Thank you everyone who has shown interest in project LitFoD, we have appreciated all the supportive comments and talented submissions.

    This is just a reminder that the deadline to apply for voice acting and musician roles is 10th May. So, if you haven't already, this is your final week to audition.

    We look forward to working with some of you very soon.

  • From an early age, he was confronted with death, an experience that seeded a lasting fear of the unknown - especially when they come face-to-face with death once again.

  • Taught not to take his emotions seriously, so will try to find comedy in their pain.

  • Spent the later years of his life feeling stuck between a life they cannot bear to live and a death he is too afraid to face.

  • english
Voice description:
  • british
  • male adult

  • [Performing on stage] My full name is Richard Head. Because my parents thought: “Yeah, Dick Head is a good name. He won’t get bullied for that one.” Joke’s on them, they had to pay for the therapy.

  • [Emotionally broken, memories slowly returning] I have always hated my fucking life, but I was also scared of dying. On that day, for just one moment, I wasn’t scared of dying anymore.

  • [Panicked] No no no no no [Cut off by something being shoved down your throat]

  • Big, main part

  • Male, goofy, but sinister.

  • Disgusting, monster voice.

  • The kind of voice that works on unsettling or funny lines of dialogue.

  • What we see is a puppet, we do not know his true form - it sounds like an evil presence putting on a silly voice.

  • male adult

  • [Trying to give scary first impression] Ha Ha! Quiver in fear at my presence. [Disappointed, given up on threatening tone] Oh, that’s new. Not quite as terrifying as I thought.

  • [Mocking, disgusted with the player] I would like to see you justify this. Justify how this is actually the truest form of comedy. “It’s about subverting the social order and breaking boundaries.” Bullshit!

  • [Improvise an insult to the player while they are idling, not moving their character]

  • [Laughing, warm] Oh yeah, Dick Head. Ha! Of course. I’m Arnold.

  • [Building/hyping up the value of the knowledge about to be revealed] Now, this is going to change the way you think about comedy for the rest of your life. This one bit of knowledge separates the amateurs, who spend the rest of their lives busking their arses in pubs and comedy clubs for chump change, from the true legends. Are you ready to hear this?
