This project is the trailer for my upcoming Minecraft Bible mod.This mod adds an entire readable Bible into several Forge versions of the game Minecraft. As a neat extra, it can strike great damage upon enemies and inflame them. It can also heal non-monsters and de-zombify certain NPCs.
What happens in the trailer?The trailer is not supposed to be a traditional reading session. Rather, it is more action-filled, like the trailer of a "Total War" game.
One of the main aspects of the video is the background music, which the script is oriented towards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpl5G1J1FE0
I think it is quite fitting, not just because it sounds great, but because both Minecraft and Halo are owned by Microsoft.
The trailer begins with a camera pointed at my character in a cathedral. He picks up a Bible and walks towards the podium, where there is a switch to the first person view.
Here, you will read an excerpt of the Gospel of Matthew in a calm tone. I will also add in a fitting echo to make the scene quite epic.
After this, you will begin reading the 6th Chapter of the book of Revelation in a more action-filled tone. It should have a fitting amount of emotion and fervour, for as the footage now switches to gameplay of me fighting monsters while holding the Bible in offhand (perhaps even banishing some monster with the Bible in my main hand).
Once the music has reached its peak and becomes normal once again, the camera is back on the character, and you will say "In the name of the father, and the son, and the holy spirit. Amen." in a calm, collected voice. Afterwards, the character walks off the podium.
What exactly is read out, and how?For the Bible readings, please use the following source, as this is the text ported to Minecraft:

In the beginning podium scene, you will have to read Matthew Chapter 10, verse 32 to 34. You begin with a clam "In the name of the father, and the son, and the holy spirit. Amen. Matthew 10, verse 32", and then calmy (and respectfully) continue by reading those mentioned parts. Your audio must not last longer than 30 seconds, although I want you to come close to the 30 second mark if you can.
The middle goes from roughly 0:38 to 2:23 of the music - that leaves you with 105 seconds (or 1:45min). In that time, you will first say "The book of Revelation chapter 6", and then continue with reading out verse 1 to 15. If you were to read this with an ordinary voice, you would likely take too long. Because of this (and because of the by now playing action footage), you will have to read out this part with much energy, fervour, rushness, and even fear..
The end will have your voice will begin to calm again. You will finish the chapter of Relevation with verses 16 to 17, after which your voice should have now fully calmed like in the start. You will finish by saying "In the name of the father, and the son, and the holy spirit. Amen." You can take your sweet time saying this, as there are now 40 seconds of soothing music remaining. Obviously, I don't want you to use that ENTIRE timespan - but don't miss the opportunity for an epic delivery here either.
Like it? Audition now!Once you have completed your job, I will pay you 25€. I ask you to send me the voicelines upfront as it takes me a few days to send the money, but this is completely optional, I'm fine with waiting a little more.
And of course, I hope you will enjoy working on this project :)!

A mixture of a monastery monk and a great commander. Regarding the work and payment, see details in project description.
Below are samples of what I was thinking of. The first one is definetly my favorite, although I also quite like the others. A combination of all is probably the best for this job.

[Intro, a calm] Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father, who is in heaven.
[Middle, a fervorous, really rushed and fearful voice] And I saw, and behold, a white horse. And he who was sitting upon it was holding a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering, so that he might prevail.
[End, where you start calming] And they said to the mountains and the rocks: “Fall over us and hide us from the face of the One sitting upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. For the great day of their wrath has arrived. And who will be able to stand?”
