Project Stardock

Project Stardock

Project Overview

This casting call is a collaboration between Canaria (Indie Voice Acting Agency) and the indie developers working on the game. We're not part of the game dev team. Our goal is just help with the VA process.

What can you tell me about the game? 

The theme of the game is Slice of Life, in this case, of a stardock worker (the player). These checkpoints in space are far and few in between in the distant future. Humans are now spread thinly among the stars.  

This game tells the story of the people, human or not, met along the way and their struggles/life in pace.

The game is currently in its prototype phase so each character only has a few lines.

Will I get paid? 

Yes, the role is paid upon delivery of the lines.  More details in the roles.

Expectations once cast:

Once cast, and once the script is finalized (which is very soon), we'll provide you with a link to the script with explanation of when the character will be saying those lines for context.

We need to make sure to be respectful of your time, as well as the developers', so please make sure to follow the deadlines once cast. If you can't, you'll need to inform us as soon as possible to plan accordingly.

The expected turnaround time is currently 14 days (since the lines are very short and few).

Things to note before auditioning:

1. Please make sure to check the description and the reference for each character. As all characters are original, we don't expect you to match the references 100%, but they are a great guidance for what the developer team is looking for.

2. Please use a clean, clear recording with as little noise as possible as that's an example of the quality you're going to be using in the actual recordings.

3. No cell phone or laptop microphones, please.

Sam
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: MultipleMeanings

Sam is a 17 year old young man who has lived all his life in the docks. He's a hotshot around his home, but he's also seen how brutal and fleeting life in space can be from the ships that come into port. This will push him to be heroic, to use what he knows to help and save his stardock family and perhaps his galactic family.   

Personality-wise, he's a good guy. He will try to do the best he can at any given situation. That being said, he's young and is bound to make mistakes and have a lot of room to grow. 

Voice: Mid-High. He is a not a heavy tough guy. His tone tends to be light. His annunciation is clear but not weighed.

Number of Lines: 13- 15 Lines

Pay Rate: $1 per line

Please note that these are for reference, but you DO NOT have to match them at all. They help with imagining the direction the dev team is looking for but they are not absolute and you do not have to match the voice.

  • (Determined) "I'm ready to help! On my way."

Role assigned to: Razi the Red-RW Estep

The Admiral is at the helm of the flagship Hyperion, a capital ship. His visit to the dock will come in a time of war. The men and fleet under his command are extensions of himself and so he treats this war as a personal battle with the weight on his shoulders.

Voice: Low. He always sounds very serious and his voice carries weight and command to it.

Number of Lines: 3 lines in the prototype. He's one of the quest characters. The plan for those is to have more lines and quests in the full game.

Pay Rate: $1 per line
