OmegaLight Studios is looking for a lead voice actor!
Project Overview
OmegaLight Studios is an organization working to create content based around the current unpublished Omega Event, Jade Stranger, and DragonLight Online book series written by AnikanDarkness (the director of OmegaLight Studios), specifically audiobook adaptations, music covers, and other short videos. We have produced a small number of chapters of the original draft of DragonLight Online, have recently begun work on the Jade Stranger audiobook adaptation, and are nearly complete in our adaptation of the first novel in The Omega Event line (with plans to eventually work on an adaptation of the sequel novel: The Omega Event 2: Fear The Zions).
Currently we are looking to recast our lead role: The protagonist of The Omega Event series Anikan Sestral due to our former VA being unable to continue work on the project. If you feel like you'd like to take a shot and audition for a chance to portray this role, please leave your audition below! Further details will be available on this role and additional information on the context of the series will be below this paragraph.
---Series Information---
The Omega Event is a series in the OmegaLight Universe focusing on an apocalyptic world, frought with death and danger around every corner. The first book follows a group of teenagers who discover a warning over the "end of the world" and soon come to realize that warning is indeed the truth when their own worlds begin crumbling around them. With the government trying to silence the truth, and a monstrous plague spreading across the country, the eight teenagers set off on a journey to escape their impending doom as society begins to crumble. The following novels continue this story into their post-apocalyptic world, as they try to survive the dangers left behind and attempt to rebuild a new society in the wasteland.
The Omega Event audiobook project is an audio drama adaptation of one of the later drafts of the original written work, voiced by an original hardworking cast of voice actors with added sound effects, visuals, and other additions to make the videos more immersive. The writing and storytelling will differ in some ways to the final written project when it is eventually published, but a majority of storytelling beats will stay the same. We are currently 23 / 30 chapters (plus a prologue and epilogue) into the story, and hope to finish the last seven by the end of the year.

Anikan Sestral is a very quiet and calm individual, or at least he was before the world went to shit, and he was forced to step up and become the leader of his ragtag group of friends. Due to his quiet nature, he often receeds from conversations, causing him to become extremely sharp-eyed and observant. One of his main traits people around him comment on is his optimism, often being mistaken for pure stubbornness, as he refuses to give up no matter how grim the situation may look. Throughout the first book he slowly grows out of his shell, learning to take command of his friends and lead them through the danger as they fight to survive, and he's forced to carry the burden of making the hard life and death decisions for not only himself, but everyone he loves.
This role is a recast of a prior role, one that was portrayed by a different VA for a majority of the project so far. I am looking for someone with a similar sounding voice, or at least someone who's voice wouldn't be a drastic change from our former voice actor's portrayal. However, I am accepting of all auditions, no matter the voice or tone. Here is a sample of our former VA's portrayal of the character, and if more examples are needed you can take a look at our individual audiobook chapters on the OmegaLight Studios Youtube Channel.
(Hopeful, Calm) "We're all tired, scared, and we're trapped. The world outside is burning, and all the people we know are dead. But we're still alive. And as long as there is life in my lungs, I'm going to keep fighting so that maybe someday we can fix all of this, and make society the way it used to be. Hell... better than it used to be. I'm not forcing any of you to fight alongside me, but I'm prepared to head out their and fight till I can't anymore. So if you're with me... pick up your gun and let's go."
(Calm, Injured, Sad) “No… look man I’m not gonna make it. We both know that it’s only a matter of time until the infection spreads, and I become one of them. And when I do, you need to be the one to put me down Dominic.”
(Angry, Fed-up, mildly tipsy) "Stop talking like that Quinn! Logic this, logic that! You are a human Quinn, not a fucking robot! So stop acting like you don't give a shit about any of us and help me come up with a plan so our friend doesn't fucking die!"
