MediEvil: Hero of Gallowmere
Project Overview
********* Update *********
Hi!
When I'm writing this, it's one day after the deadline and I have closed the auditions for most roles.
I would like to say thank you to everyone that auditioned! You are really wonderful people!
I would also like to congratulate to everyone that got the role! Those are: Lordwelshi, Jonzaku, skinnytecboy, Holly Lindin, Darkvicenge, Blubadger, Headboppindorf and Patrickj!
To those that weren't so lucky, please note that not all is lost! You still have a chance to get a role. I have few very small roles that I didn't list in casting call and I will be handing those to some of you. Plus there is always a possibility that someone that got the big role won't respond or we won't be able to cooperate and a recast will be necessary.
You probably noticed already, that the Gargoyles role is still open. That's because none of the auditions were convincing enough to me. Gargoyles are one of the most, if not the MOST important role in the whole mod, and it really needs to be perfect! I will be contacting some of people that auditioned for Gargoyle role and I will try to work with them on bringing their skills to maximum and making the really close-to-original voice acting for that role.
Thanks everyone! You are the best!
********* End of update *********
MediEvil: Hero of Gallowmere is a fan based project that aims to recreate the first four levels from MediEvil game (PSX) in Skyrim engine (as a mod, ofc). It is full of dark humor and has a lot in common with early Tim Burton movies.
What is MediEvil:
MediEvil is an action-adventure video game and the first installment in the MediEvil series. It was developed by SCE Studio Cambridge and published by Sony. It was released in October 1998 (US and EU).
The evil sorcerer Zarok has risen the dead by stealing the souls of the living. But he made a mistake! He accidentally raised his old enemy, Sir Daniel Fortesque- the game protagonist. Being given a second chance, Dan can finally prove himself a hero that he wasn't in his life by defeating Zarok.
More information about the project can be found here:
There are two types of characters:
- from original game - those should be voiced as close to original possible
- new, introduced in ME:HoG - those have a lot of room for your own invention and interpretation (I can still give you precise instructions if you are not into coming up with ideas yourself)
Most characters are male. There are only two female characters, but there are also few unspecified (mostly skeletons - those can be voiced by male and female). Role size can vary significantly. Some roles have literally one line while others are quite big.
Please clean your voice files if that's not a big problem. I also expect you to have something better than cheapest microphone from supermarket. Selection is based on both audio recording quality and acting quality.
Note: I won't add those "1-2 short lines" types of roles here. Those will be handed (as addition) to people that auditioned for roles seen below.

Description:
Zarok is a creepy, bitter and twisted soul. He is petty and vain yet intelligent, terrifying and evil yet charismatic, tough and dangerous yet at times campier than a Caravan park.
So, even from the shackles of death my old enemy pursues me!You're too late Fortesque - already my army has risen from the grave! You will never leave this necropolis... Ha, ha, ha!

Description:
Truly the hero's hero, Woden the Mighty, was fearless, single-minded, and uncompromising. Unbeaten in combat, he inspired raw fear in friends and enemies alike, not to mention in close family members and pets.
Fortesque, you jawless arrow magnet - what are you doing back here?
What? Call me MISTER Woden the Mighty!
How I pity the people of Gallowmere - that their fate should once again be in the hands of a chump like you!
Still, I suppose it's not fair to take it out on them - take my sword - and do try not to stab yourself in the foot.
You know, I've always had my doubts about you, Fortesque - you're just not carved from hero material
Type of character: new, introduced in ME: HoG
She's a small girl Sir Dan (the player) finds in the Graveyard sitting on one of the street lamps. He rescues her from the zombies that swarmed below her.
She's a little rascal. The type that when you tell her to go to bed/sleep, she will go out through the window in her room instead, and then start following an evil sorcerer she just seen a moment ago.
Hey, thanks for taking care of those stinky fellas.
Wait, I know you! You are Sir Daniel Fortesque! Miss Crabapple said you defeated some bad guy back then when she was still young.
A man in red dress has done something to all the folks in town and now they act all weird! I mean, weirder than usuall. He created this green light, and then this strange things startet to fly around. And then everyone started to moan like *mhhhh* *brainsss* (zombie sounds)It's almost as if he took their souls or something. Wonder why he didn't take mine...
Type of character: new, introduced in ME: HoG
Scrumf is a young Imp that got locked in cage as a punishment. He is very young and childish and, well, naive :)
NOTE: "the Phantom" from the second line is a reference to other character from the mod/game. http://gallowmere.wikia.com/wiki/Phantom_of_the_Opera
Owww... Sorcerer caught Scrumf on playing with Master's magic tools. Now Scrumf sits here as an example of what happens when you disobey the master.
Others like to mock the Phantom, but Scrumf thinks it's cruel to force someone to play the same tune over and over again.
Type of character: new, introduced in ME: HoG
He is quite smart and definitely more rational than most of other characters met in the graveyard
Here, take this! I managed to bottle this green... thing. Just drink it if you ever get hurt by those brainless ones. It should patch you right up! You can refill it at any of the Life Fountains.
I call it Life Fountain, but you can call it whatever you want. Just don't sit too long inside of it, or it will make your head dizzy.
Type of character: new, introduced in ME: HoG
He is based on the "Main Menu" skeleton from the original game. He didn't say anything in original, but he had this very specific laugh.
Welcome back to your beloved Gallowmere!Some stinking dead have risen up to dance with the lifeless living, and they want to do it over your dead body!
You can recognize those slow-brainers by their evil, green glowing eyes!
Nyahahahaha! *laugh*

IMPORTANT NOTE:
I made a small change to his dialogue. In original (and video) he goes:
(...)But hold, you could take my crossbow, it's got rapid fire and you can ricochet the darts off walls to shoot around corners. (...)
this got changed to:
(...)But hold, you could take my crossbow, it's got rapid fire and can be super useful on your quest!(...)
Description:
Canny Tim was a marksman of a crossbowman part of the cavalry led by Sir Dan, as well as his second in command. He killed Zarok's champion, Lord Kardok, in the Battle of Gallowmere by shooting him in the eye from a thousand yards away.
Captain Fortesque! It's me, Canny Tim. Does the battle go well?
How I wish I could fight at your side again, sir. But hold, you could take my crossbow, it's got rapid fire and can be super useful on your quest!
I used it at the Battle of Gallowmere: after you were slain I shot Zarok's champion Lord Kardok - a clean kill, through the eye at some 1000 yards...

Description:
These ugly fellows are often overlooked by all but the wisest of heroes. They do not particulary like Sir Dan, as they know how much of a failure he was when he was alive.
Though they look like mere stone carvings, they sit silently and observe all. Fortunately, Gargoyles can't resist showing of how clever they are and will often give Dan handy hints and clues that can aid him on his quest. But the gargoyles are mischievous and look down on mere mortals like Sir Dan. Their clues will often be cryptic as they are informative.
It has risen again - Sir Daniel Fortesque.
See? The Hero of Gallowmere who fell at the first charge! The fog of war and the shrouds of time conspired to turn the arrow fodder into the saviour of the day. But we knows better.
Let it alone! Fate has given it a second chance, a chance to forget the ignoble truth, a chance to defeat Zarok and live up to the legend.
We hopes it does well.

He is a shopkeeper (duh...) hiding in one of the crypts in the graveyard.
What happened to my head? Lets just say I run into one not-so-friendly fella...
Been shameless profiteer all my life, so I thought "why not extend it to the afterlife"!?
So the legends are true! The Chalice of Souls does exist! And it's in your possession! We are all doomed!
Type of character: new, introduced in ME: HoG
An elderly man met in Graveyard. As most elder people, he has serves an advice for young protagonist.
notable references: Elder Gutknecht from Corpse Bride, Grandpa from The Simpsons
Have you noticed that plants seems to be greener and bloom stronger behind that gate?Be wary, that's a domain of powerful tree creatures. Terrible curse made them very aggressive... and almost unkillable. No point in fighting them. If you don't have something to trap their souls in, they will grow back in no time!
If you really wanna fight those tree folks, Dark Shrubbites, you can lure them out by setting a fire near their trees.Just collect few branches, and prepare yourself for some ass whooping! Ha ha!

This poor fellow has been trapped in the crystal for very long time, yet he is still loyal to his master. I imagine him having this grungy/rugged voice after many years of being tortured.
Looking for a key to the Skull Gates? Bad luck. Our Master- the Stained Glass Demon has it always by his side. But he is not interested in talking with you.
