Oblivion: The Cyrodillic Dream (Story-based Machinima Series)
Project Overview
I am working on a new and exciting story Machinima series, set in the world of 'Oblivion'. I have recently re-written and heavily refined the project and the first episode's script, bringing it up to a much better standard than it was previously, when this project was known as 'Oblivion: The Golden Rule'. This project was meant to be already in full swing by now, but three voice actors dropped out last time, halting production. I am hoping to find people who are genuinely interested and committed this time round.
If you're unsure/unfamiliar with what 'Oblivion' is, it is the 4th entry in the Elder Scrolls game franchise. This ongoing Youtube machinima series, will be animated and brought to life, in this game's engine and set in it's universe.
Here is a brief story overview:
Three ordinary men survive the catastrophic events of Kvatch and escape into the wilderness. With no money and everything they owned destroyed, they set about finding work across Cyrodiil. All the while, they’re being watched and followed by a loan shark, who will stop at nothing to get back what she’s owed…

I'm looking for main cast members, which consist of both male and female, but also have plenty of smaller roles going too.
Anyone who's interested, please get in touch!

If you're someone who's prone to not responding to emails within a reasonable amount of time, or someone who is not willing to commit to something long-term, then please refrain from auditioning.
If for whatever reason after being cast, you go AWOL for a significant amount of time, into which it delays the videos and their production, you will be recast. One good thing about making a story in this universe, is that magic exists, so a character can easily have a spell cast on them that changes their voice forever. (Please don't let it come to that though :P)
Other than that, I hope you have fun with your auditions. If you've any questions, email me.
(Oh and this is not a paid project, so apologies if you're looking for that.)

Project Golden - Sample Script:
The script is a few short scenes, to explore how you perform a range of tones and emotions.
These scenes are sample scenes, and will not be part of the final videos.
Script:
Scene 1 - Context:
You're minding your own business, when you see some people in the distance.
You approach them, but they rudely dismiss you, and you go on your way.
* (quiet, to self) "Oh, what's going on over there I wonder?"
* "Excuse me? Hello? Do you need any help?"
* "Hey, there's no need to be rude! I was only asking! "
* (under breath) "Pff. You try and be polite and some people just throw it back in your face..."
Scene 2 - Context:
You go shopping in the Markarth market for ingredients to make your father a nice meal. You see a golden necklace with an emerald in the centre, emeralds were your
mother's favourite gemstone and you knew your father would love a gift that reminded him of his wife. You buy it and head home...
* "Mmmm, this meat looks delicious. Perfect for a nice meal for father."
* "Um, no thank you. I think I've changed my mind about buying meat now..." (In response to a merchant, he's put her off buying meat)
* "No, I don't want the 'bloodiest beef', leave me alone!"
* "Oh really? I'd like to have a look at what you have." (In response to 'I have a necklace that would look lovely on you, or on a... special someone.')
* "Wow. That's...beautiful. Gold with an emerald in the center...Mother's favourite gem."
* "This is the perfect gift for my father. I'll take it!" (pleased, excited.)
Scene 3 - Context:
You've been framed, imprisoned and your father has been murdered. All hope is lost, when all of a sudden, an Imperial soldier appears...
* "Hello is there anyone there!?"
* "Please, get me out of here!"
* "I didn't do anything wrong! Please let me out!"
* "AHHHH!" (scream, somebody's just appeared from nowhere and shocked you)
* "Oh, thank you so much!"
* "It's all a bit of a blur, but I think they left the key... through here!"
* "Quickly, we must hurry before that elf comes back!"
Scene 4 - Context:
You are an Imperial Captain. Two soldiers return to report on a mission...
* "So, you're finally back. How'd it go?"
* "What do you mean 'terribly'!? What happened!?"
* "For goodness sake, you idiots! You useless, empty-headed little termites!
* "You're done, you hear me you smug gits? If I even so much as SMELL you near this place again, I will reign down hell on you for the rest of eternity! Got it!?"
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
