Looking for Trailer Voices for Goblin Parody VN (1F 1M+)

Looking for Trailer Voices for Goblin Parody VN (1F 1M+)

Project Overview

Auditions are now closed, I am in the process of contacting a few final people to read some extra lines to make the final decision.


I'm looking for one male(or more) and one female to do character voice-overs for a short opening trailer for a visual novel.


There are not many lines, since it is only going to be a short trailer. There is also the possible opportunity for future work if the VN becomes semi-voice acted (And possibly paid IF I do a kick-starter) but don't count on it. I'm also not fussed if the characters need to be recast if you don't want to do extra.



The visual novel itself is Fantasy/Comedy/Romance, and parodies common tropes of RPG games and fantasy genre fiction. BUT before you go any further please be aware that this game contains male-male romance, and is tended to a predominantly female audience. I know some types of people may not be comfortable lending their voice to that kind of romance, but also please be aware that 1. The trailer will NOT contain this romance. and 2.The actual game will NOT be r18 at all.



The premise of the game is, you play as a mercenary hired to escort a noble woman's son on a quest to a goblin den. Along the way, you find out that flirting with the goblins is just as viable an option as killing them.


You can view a really early mockup for the first half of the trailer here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3bWgG_e8Fp2WXE4MmdsRGFsbkE/view?usp=sharing

It's pretty much just black screen with text because most of the art hasn't been made yet, but pretty much everything that is currently black will have visuals in the end. You can expect the the final product to look like the first horse animation(completed) not the second animation (Still sketchy) This mockup is to mainly get a feel of how the lines fit in with the music. There are a few lines there that I didn't include in the audition lines, so if you want, feel free to try them too if you like them.



The game will be released for free and is non-commercial, therefore there is unfortunately no monetary pay for the trailer, but in exchange for your help I would be happy to draw you a little something like a profile picture or make you some pixel art!



Voices: I would ideally like these voices to suit a fantasy environment, therefore I don't think the typical urban/suburban american accent would suit the characters. Other american accents as well as non american are very welcome if you have one or think you can do them well! More details below in character descriptions.




Note on characters: I'm planning on only using two characters in the trailer voices because I assume that I'll have a hard enough time just finding the main character, but I've also included a 'Misc' Role with some of the mother characters, if they get successful auditions then I will happily write them into the trailer.





Please use a proper microphone. Not cellphones or laptops.

Latest Updates

  • Casting is over today!

    I have had way more auditions than expected! I am now going to narrow down my auditions to a couple of finalists for each role. There were a couple of people on this site who I will get in further contact with these people. I will most likely PM you, as I want you to read a few more lines from the script in order to decide on the part. But please allow a little while for me to follow up on this though! I would love to respond to everyone who auditioned, but between this and the other site I advertised on, I probably have too many to go through. However if you want some feedback on your audition including mic quality feedback and/or details on why you didn't get the part, feel free to comment or PM me specifically and I will try to respond to anyone who asks. My feedback for all auditions was, in general everyone did a really good job. There were lots of good voice actors, and for many of you I thought you had a great voice, but didn't think your voice or voice type specifically fit the role. I also think that there was a tendency, and many auditions may have been influenced by the previous auditions before them a little too much. I say this because some of the lines had similar inflections to others across the board. A tip for this would be to read/record some lines in your own way (not necessarily submit them first, but at least record them) before you listen to the other actors, so you have an uninfluenced take to reference so you don't follow someone else's inflections. Another thing in general, was I loved the interpretations on the goblin language! I am planning on having a small cut-scene with the goblins at the start of the game, so if your microphone had a high quality and your lines were well and fluently executed for the goblin language, expect to be contacted about that, as the number of goblins that will be features is still ambiguous. Once again, thank you to everyone who auditioned. I will be in contact with some of you in a few days, and also open for feedback request. If you were planning on auditioning and suddenly realized you forgot, the cast is open until the end of March 15 in US time, so you have a few hours left! (Even though it's already march 16 where I am.)

  • Optional characters confirmed for trailer.

    Following the great response from people to this casting call, I have decided that I will definitely include some of the optional characters in the trailer for sure! There are a few voices I love so far, but if this gives you more of an incentive to audition for them, then great! I've also included a link to proper character pictures of the optional characters, because a picture paints 1000 words as they say. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3bWgG_e8Fp2dm9VQjZfYlVuczA/view?usp=sharing Also, if you didn't notice before, I edited in a mock up trailer a while ago, but didn't post it as an update. I've made even more content since then so I might update the mockup trailer later on if I feel the new content has reached a presentable level. Thanks everyone so far who has auditioned! I'm really surprised at the response (hope you all read the original description properly).

The Mercenary
open

The main character. He has a very grey morality (And knows it.) He is quite roguish and roughed up. He also thinks himself very skilled (a bit boastful in the internal monologue) He often doesn't take things seriously. I imagine him to hail from a kind of germanic inspired background.

Voice type: I imagine him to have a bit of a dark voice to reflect his morality. He definitely wouldn't have a young bright peppy hero voice.

  • "This land is perched on the edge of darkness.The threat of war presses it’s heavy body against its shores, and an abundance of stirring creatures wreak havoc from within." - As if reading a fantasy prologue intro line. (but not over-dramatic)

  • "I’m a not hero. I’m a mercenary. I work for myself, get paid for myself, and live only for one thing." -Complete change of mood from previous line, Internal monologue. Assured. (If it helps, after he says 'only one thing', it cuts to a shot of a beer mug)

  • “If it’s gold you’re offering, you’ve come to the right man.” - Confident, sure of himself.

Lucia (Employer of Mercenary)
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

(The current character profile picture is just a concept sketch)

She is the mother of another one of the supporting characters and the one who is hiring the main character. She also has a bit of a grey morality (But isn't aware of it and thinks everything she thinks is good and fine.) She's quite greedy. She belongs to the upper-class and has a high ranking position as the town General. Often is quite sarcastic, and looks down on the MC (social status wise)

Voice: A mature voice, but I haven't had anything very specific in mind for her, maybe a bit haughty? She definitely wouldn't have a high girly cute voice.

  • “I'm not going to question your bad decisions of the past. I called for you because you are not from around here, and for your ‘apparent’ expertise…” -First part: insulting, mocking his name. Second part: Sceptical about his ability.


  • "I dare hope your lack of sobriety does not come with a lack of memory tomorrow.” -Fed up, a bit sarcastic.

  • “My son is a stubborn boy." Stern but affectionate undertones.

Line 1- Son of Lucia: - Angry. After getting captured by goblins. Tries to be a hero. Self righteous. Rich kid. 19 Years.


Line 2- Priest: EITHER innocent, soft-spoken, gentle voice. OR smooth disney-villain baritone. 20's

Line 3- Necromancer: - charismatic, like-able guy, he is 'foreign' to the main country, and the story refers to his accent as 'exotic', so any non-native english accent would work. His initial appearance is to fulfill the 'villain' archetype, but the trope gets turned around. Late 20's early 30's.

  • Son of Lucia: “YES! Your fault for dragging me down, your fault for screwing everything up. I could have gotten us out of there.”


  • Priest: "Please, let us not be too hasty about this. If you may, take a moment and step back. Try to reflect on the current situation."


  • Necromancer: “It would be less of an expense to just kill you but, I wouldn’t have escaped that last one alone. I’m a fair man.”

Goblin's voices/chattering
open

(That's a mask by the way)New role: Thought it would be fun to have some of the goblins voices or chattering in the trailer too. Not essential but could be fun. The goblins speak a made up language. It's up to you how you interpret it. (These are just random words I made up, any resemblance to real words in other languages is coincidental)

The goblins wear hideous/scary masks to make up for their true innocent and almost 'fairy-like' appearance underneath. (trope twist)
This goblin den is a patriarchal one, but female voice type is also welcome to try for more youthful goblins.

  • Goblin 1: "Vkt Der kjyon wek ‘Man’-akkon cha.” -(translation: These two 'Men' are the intruders.)

  • Goblin 2: "Sor ja ‘Leper’ ghe asu. Chekuo Rei. " - (He's a 'Leper' so he can't run away.)
    Goblin 1: "Trvakl! Juo topn chek! Shishi!" -(You idiot! tie him up anyway! Hurry up!)

  • Goblin 3: “The other does not bring weapons here ‘by accident’.” (This goblin has self-taught himself the human language and is actually a main character but not important at the moment. 'The other' is his way of referring to 'that other guy in the room')
