The Character: Cassian Hale is the Director of Triarch Systems - they are a shadow ops organization that helps the Hylian military clean up their "messes" under while acting outwardly as a standard supplies vendor and diagnostics crew. Hale is familiar with the other major character in this arc, Captain Quinn Lucas - they've worked together before. Hale's voice should sound authoritative, intelligent, and approachable, with a bit of charm. He's quite charismatic. I can provide you with links to the other audios so you can get a feel for the world. I think I'd like an American accent but I am certainly open to all kinds of other accents, too.
For the audition sides, speak slowly and clearly. Give me AA BB CC format if you like! Because this genre is audio drama, I am fine with some breaths and mouth clicks, but would prefer no pops. You can do some processing if you want (background noise removal, EQ, compression, normalization, whatever you normally do), although for the finished work, we might try both 1) processed and 2) raw to see what helps our setups sound the most cohesive. My setup is fine but not necessarily optimized, so I'd like to hear what you're working with.
I'd love to see if there are other YouTube/Patreon VAs out there who would be open to cross-promoting. Then I can send you more clicks and likes.
Statement on AI: If you do choose to visit my YouTube channel, you'll see that some of my video thumbnails include AI-generated art. AI-generated art is not something I want to perpetuate the use of and is not something I feel good about. As of this posting, I have finally been able to afford to commission independent artists for some Bit Crush branded materials and my intention is that new characters and stories to be produced in the future will include original thumbnail art. Just so you know where I stand!
