Thank you everyone for your incredible auditions! We are currently making final decisions and will be finalizing the castings soon.
Hi there!
We've gotten so many amazing auditions so far. I wanted to provide a little more direction onto the more unique sounding voices. If you 've already submitted an audition and would like to try again with these new directions and references, please feel free to!
Mo is the Century Dawn's AI. She talks to player occasionally at first but becomes a major character later in the game.The company that created her is based out of Tokyo. We are looking for a native Japanese speaker that can speak English but also retains some of her Japanese accent. Or really just if the Japanese accent is believable. The tone of the game is serious but Mo is friendly. She's also not a comedic character, but when she says things like, "Great job!" she means it.
For all submissions please record raw audio with 24 bit depth 48000hz. Also please include a noise sample of 5 seconds at the beginning and end.
Emergency override is now complete. Apologies for the early wake-up, Dr. Otto Hudson. My name is Mo, the ship's AI. Please proceed to the Reintegration area.
Great job! Information will be automatically uploaded to your tablet.
Mr Woods is a bartender in our game. We are looking for a male voice with a lot of presence. Something deep and from the American south. Not something as thick and unintelligible as creole but with that same sort of flair. A thick sort of Louisiana or even Savannah accent is great. He speaks slowly but surely and regularly uses words that aren't common. He's also a very large man, weighing about 400 lbs. His voice should also be deep, and almost guttural, almost like he's been drinking moonshine his entire life. He is very expressive, strange, and fun.
The closest thing I can think of to his direction that exists would be a Southern or Louisianan version of the merchant from Resident Evil 4. He should seem strange and incredibly unique given the environment.

Not looking for a match, this is just to get a good handle on the intensity and presence of the voice.

Howdy. You look rode hard and put up wet dontcha?
This here soiree sorta lost its luster, you ask me. Now we’re the only spot in town.
Iris Jade is the CEO of Tayet, one of the pharmaceutical companies aboard the Century Dawn. She is cold, calculating, intelligent, and powerful. Sort of an ice queen. She is originally from Egypt but if need be we can expand her accent into other areas in the Arabian Peninsula. She is about 35-40 years old during the events of the game. We are not looking for a seductive voice, more like an authoritative business woman.
Rogue from Cyberpunk is a great example of the kind of delivery we were looking for.

Cat got your tongue? Probably the Mirage. Well, I see you've met my dogs. Or what used to be my dogs. Listen, I have this place locked down. If you want to leave, you'll have to track down my biggest boy, Horus. He's wearing something very valuable to me: a collar. Fetch it for me, would you?
Malcolm is the CEO of Monty Co, a security and defense corporation on the UCT Century Dawn. He is around 60-70 years old. Malcolm is ruthless, mean-spirited, and sadistic. He is also in charge of the prison aboard the ship and regularly spends his time torturing the inmates in experiments. For vocal direction he needs to sound creepy, a little feeble, and older. There should also be a level of intimidation to his voice that is very subtle. I am attaching a link to Graham Cuthbertson's performance in Outlast. we are looking for something like this but slightly older and a bit slower. Malcolm is evil but he isn't neurotic.
Reference for tone and feeling
In this scene, he is torturing the spy of a rival company. Because of his masochistic nature, he is enjoying it. Now this is almost like a conversation with himself, the person he is torturing is simply whimpering and gurgling in the background.

Why do you defend that witch so adamantly, Jonathan? She's the one who sent you here after all. Tell me… did you find what you were looking for?
I can see we’re just not getting there are we Jonathan? Perhaps we need a different approach.
Dr Lieth is one of the scientists aboard the Century Dawn. He's polite and has good bedside manner. His voice should sound articulate but thoughtful He's about 38 years old during the events of the game. He's a recurring character throughout the story.

I'll be frank, some of them don't look great. But after consulting with Ms Jade, we're confident it could be worse. I've given you something to slow the symptoms. It should help you get back on your feet and in your lab in a matter of days.
Sam Riley is a solder in his late 30s. He's specifically a combat veteran, having fought in wars on earth. We aren't going for a drill sergeant or something overly gritty. We need a confident assertive voice.

They wanted to leave us here?
Sorry, just resting up. What was that?
One of the few people on the ship with any sort of control. He oversees the Monty Co Security Forces. He's tough and mean as hell. We want to give him a unique voice that will really accentuate his mercenary history.
A good reference would be something like Kano from Mortal Kombat. Not looking for an impression though. He can sound German, Russian, Australian, South African, etc, anything that has that unique and powerful flair. He's pretty much always ready for a fight:

Let's see what you're made of...
Enough of these guns...you want to bag me...you pull out that blade of yours and show me who's the better man.
She's the daughter of one of the characters but makes regular appearances throughout the game. We are looking for a female child voice actor. Marin is 11 years old. We aren't going for a cute "child-like" voice or anything cartoony. Plain speech is perfect for this.

You promise you'll be back, right?
I don't want to go to school. I'm sick...
Where are we going?
