Minion Warfare
Project Overview
Minion Warfare is a third-person shooter I am currently in the early design stages of and I'm looking for test voices to give me a way of hearing what the characters sound like. I plan to release a series of videos of these voice clips. The winners of each role will be sent the full list of lines to read and I will have you send me the recordings as you finish them. Some characters will have fewer lines than others.
PLOT:
"When an army of diabolical electrically-charged robots called Shockbots decide to attack the planet Gooptonia, the evil King Grex sends his Minion army to stop the mechanical marauders."
NOTE: The game will not be released for quite a long time. This does not guarantee you voice roles. This is merely a test audition to see what the characters sound like when interpreted by different people. These recordings will be placed on YouTube.
NOTE 2: There are two characters in the game that are not on this list. This is because I myself will be voicing them.

"There are decent soldiers. There are intelligent soliders. There are competent, efficient, useful soldiers. These soldiers are the cornerstone of a successful and formidable army. Footbot...is not one of these soliders. Why he joined the Shockbot Corps in the first place is beyond anyone who knows him, and the reasons for that are numerous: he's polite, he's dim-witted, and above all else, he's just incompetent."
Footbot is dim-witted, slow, and too plain nice to be an evil robot. His voice is inspired by Gomer Pyle from The Andy Griffith Show: slow, gullible, and friendly as all get out.
NOTE: Feel free to add some robotic voice effects.
Well, gadzooks, Sarge!
Gadzooks!
That's what you get, you bully!
"The magnificent robotic boxer known in the ring as Mac was once the champ, the king of the ring, the top dog, and other magnificent nicknames. His metal fists and spring-loaded feet granted him a big advantage over his opponents, as well as the fact that he doesn't really have a face to punch. He had everything, but one fateful day, he was sent up against the Limb Chopper 5000, an up-and-coming combine robot. Mac was defeat, filling him with shame. To prove to the world that he is still the best, Mac joined the Shockbot Corps."
Mac is oddly polite for an evil robot and uses sophisticated language. His voice is directly based on that of world-famous boxer "Iron Mike" Tyson (and named after Little Mac from Punch-Out!)
NOTE: Feel free to add some robotic voice effects.
I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to destroy you.
You are down for the count, sir!
Just rolling with the punches.
"Are you tired of being defenseless when Shockbot armies are knocking at your door? Are you sick of being forced to run like a little sissy when confronted with hordes of the restless dead? Then fear no more! For the first time ever, purchase your very own Cannot (TM). Cannot is every homeowner's best friend! This tiny cannon on treads is perfect for all your home protection needs, with his ability to fire explosive cannonballs and drop homing mines! Whether you're fighting off Shockbots or just door-to-door salesman, Cannot definitely can not and WILL not fail!"
Cannot's voice is very young-sounding, but also robotic. Think somewhere along the lines of the Battle Droids from the Star Wars movies.
NOTE: Feel free to add some robotic voice effects.
Cannot requesting backup!
Take no prisoners!
I am no cannon fodder!
"Once the CEO of the world-famous media powerhouse WizBiz Enterprises, Snerlin the "Magic Bird" had it all: women, money, power, little dogs that fit in purses. He was living the Gooptonian Dream and beyond. But that all changed one fateful day, when he accidentally transmogrified his entire chair council into watermelons after coming into work half-asleep the day after a big all-night party. Without his council members to translate his weird bird noises to clients, his company fell apart, leaving Snerlin on the street."'
Snerlin actually does not speak. He merely makes random "quacking" noises a la the penguins from The Muppet Show. He has different noises or inflections for different situations, however.
*A few quacking sounds*
*A loud, distressed quack*
"Krackle was born in the swamps of Bayou Legume to the owner of a worldwide fishstick restaurant empire., 'The Krackle Barrel'. However, this did not last as long as expected; as it turns out, a restaurant that serves only fishsticks is going to get stale after a decade or two. Left with no money, Krackle was abandoned underneath a rotten log, where he was left to fend for himself. After becoming cynical and joining the Minion Army, Krackle learned to hone his talent for heckling and mocking, just in case of a global alien invasion. What are the odds?"
Krackle is rude, sarcastic, and has a very high ego of himself. He speaks in a snooty French accent, inspired by the French Knights from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
You fight like my sister!
Go and kill, my mechanical accomplice!
Your mother was a sea cow!
"A jingoistic, possibly-insane madman, the Shockbot known only to his underlings as Sarge is ironically the worst possible choice for a military leader. His constant hallucinations and flashbacks to the War of '83 make him slightly unhinged at best and criminally-insane at worst. He possesses a "shoot first, conquer later" attitude and even in the thick of battle has a very loose grasp on reality. He reveres his former superior Colonel Catfish (who may or may not have been an actual catfish) with an almost religious quality."
Sarge is a robotic drill sergeant who has completely lost touch with reality. He has a habit of creating odd nicknames and insults for his enemies. For his voice, think of R. Lee Ermey (aka the guy who plays almost every drill sergeant you've ever seen on TV).
NOTE: Feel free to add some robotic voice effects.
Nothing in kindergarten could prepare you for me, sweet cheeks!
Not in a hurry to live, are you?
I've found less disgusting scum at the bottom of a well!
"Growing up the third youngest (by five minutes) of twelve children, Chucky quickly learned to be independent, look out for himself, and perfect his aiming skill by throwing acorns at the heads of his siblings. He's rude, obnoxious, snarky, and constantly in-your-face, always displaying his ego and lack of subtlety. His sniping ability is fueled by his addiction to Honey Nuts brand coffee, which allows him to stay up for days at a time without moving."
Chucky is obnoxious, high-pitched, hyperactive, and has a bit of a Bronx accent. He's really sarcastic in everything he says and takes great joy in scoring headshots. His voice is similar to the Scout from Team Fortress 2.
Thought you could get rid a me that easy?
That guy definitely ain't goin' home to his kids!
What's that? I can't hear you over the sound of you explodin'!
"Chomper was born/built/discovered (however Chompers are created) in the small burg of Minionville, on the southside of the Minion Kingdom. He grew up as your average several-hundred pound, metallic, black sphere monster until one fateful day, when he discovered the two loves of his life: competitive eating and rock music. He and some friends started a garage band called 'Twisted Minion'. At their first gig, he made a name for himself by playing a record 17-hour-long drum solo. After the band disbanded, he joined the Minion Corps, where he entertains troops overseas."
Chomper is loud, obnoxious, and a huge fan of rock-n-roll. He has a deep voice, kind of gravelly, but is young. He has a penchant for randomly screaming certain lines in excitement, so don't be afraid to experiment with that. It may be worth noting that Chris Farley was a big inspiration in Chomper's personality.
Chomper in da house!
I just took you chumps to school!
Let's do this! COME ON!
"2 score and...some years ago, Clod was born in an active volcano in an unnamed land he only refers to as 'the old country'. Not a whole lot is known about his past, so we'll just make something up: he was raised by mountain goats made of chocolate in a magical fairytale castle known as 'Zippy Town'. Raised to be a lawyer, Clod decided it was more fun to physically ruin puny people than to financially ruin them. Of course, we're making this up, so none of it is true."
Clod is loud, boisterous, and very hammy. He speaks in a deep Russian accent with broken English and takes great pride in how unbeatable he is. His voice is somewhere between the Team Fortress 2 Heavy and Jumba from Lilo & Stitch.
When I am healed, I will crush you into bolts!
It does not pay to be made of metal!
You have trained for nothing!
"Hailing from a barren one-horse town called Middle, Nowhere, the prospector known to others as 'Pappy' is a stark contrast to the rest of the Shockbot Army. Not because he's mentally unstable, of course; all of them are. He seems to be continuously behind the times, unable to grasp the simplest technologies such as the Tweeter, the movin' pictures, and the TV box. GET WITH IT, YOU OLD COOT! BUY A CELLPHONE, GRAMPS, AND TURN YOUR BLINKER OFF FOR PETE'S SAKE!"
Pappy is your typical 1800s Western prospector. As such, he's essentially a backwards redneck and a crazy old man. His voice is somewhat high-pitched and very senile.
NOTE: Feel free to add some robotic voice effects.
Dag-blasted whippersnappers, shootin' me!
Ya'll come here and check out ma' whosamabobit!
You gone done and broke it, ya idjit!
