Character Voiceover
Project Overview
We appreciate the interest for this project.
We have the position for Omega open with a better understanding and examples of what he should sound like.
Big thanks to JackMack and Austin for the advice and suggestions!
I’m part of a small indie team building a sci-fi physics platformer. We’re getting ready to reveal the game this month as well as drop a demo before Steam Next Fest in October, and we're looking for a voice for our secondary character to bring our world to life.
We are looking for a collaborator who wants to "own" the character and help us make him stand out. If we work well together on this demo, we’d love to keep you on as the long-term voice of the character as the project matures into a full game.
WHAT WE NEED RECORDED
Omega:
For the trailer and demo, we are limiting the scope of work to one cutscene. (~110 words)
Rate: 35 USDT Flat Fee for the demo lines.
Time: We estimate no more than 1 hour to record his lines (including recording and sending the files)
Payment: USDT (Crypto) - Let's not waste each other's time if you are uncomfortable with this payment method.
Rights: This covers the use of the voice in the game, the trailer, and social media promotion.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Clean Environment: No background noise, fans, or echo.
Raw Audio only: Please send your recordings exactly as they were captured. We want to hear your natural voice without any reverb, echo, noise-reduction, or other effects. This helps me understand if your voice is a good fit for the character's "vibe".
Multiple Takes: You can provide different takes per line so we can hear a range of energy/emotions.
HOW WE WORK
We are a small crew and we coordinate entirely via Telegram. We like to keep things informal but efficient. If you have suggestions or ideas on how to make a line feel more natural or "cool", we’re always open to your input.

Omega is a "scary grandfather" figure with a Slavic accent - think of a more grounded, menacing version of Stefan Kapičić’s Colossus.
Note on the Accent: We are leaning into his thick pronunciation for comedic double-entendres. He should remain completely serious, but his delivery could occasionally turn phrases into accidental jokes.
He is a man of absolute authority who projects an image of someone who views his subjects as nothing more than tools (Although it is a persona and he does care for his people as will be evidenced later in the game). He doesn't need to shout to be heard - his power lies in a slow, heavy stillness that makes everyone in the room hold their breath.
His voice is low, gravelly, and rhythmically heavy, with distinctly rolled "R"s. When he speaks, imagine every word is a heavy stone you are placing firmly on a table.
For reference, aim for the toneless, ruthless authority of Senator Roark (Sin City) mixed with the disdainful, quiet elegance of Amahl Farouk (Legion). He should sound intimidating precisely because he doesn't try to sound intimidating.
Avoid typical "raging" anger. When he gets irritated, don't think "I am losing my temper." Instead, think "I am disappointed that this tool is broken and I have to throw it away." This makes his irritation feel cold, sharp, and inevitable.
The pressure should rise steadily until the final escalation. While the rest of his delivery is quiet and rhythmic, his final command - NOW!!! should be a sudden, barking jump-scare that shatters the silence and signals immediate danger.

We are losing the war and running out of materials to develop weapons. There’s only one way we can get materials without being in the enemy’s territory - we need you to go to space and gather ore for us!
You are ORE last hope! We’ve sent so many of our finest men, and nobody has returned!
Why are you still here? Put on your spacesuit and get to the spaceship NOW!!!
The character is an engineer in a dystopian futuristic world. He isn't physically strong and is initially shocked to be chosen for a space colonization mission. As players conquer more planets, he grows from being terrified to being more confident and determined.
Think "anxious-but-brilliant". He has a bit of that frantic, high-energy Shaggy (Scooby-Doo) quality, but he needs to sound like a real person surviving a dystopian world, not a caricature. I'm looking for a collaborator who wants to "own" this character for the long term.

Me? Space? But I’m not a spaceman...
Was that him arm-wrestling a volcano?
I didn’t think I could win against that giant slime!
