Project Starlight is a Machinima series set in the world of Project Wingman, a flight-action game inspired by Ace Combat. Developed by Sector 2D and published by Humble Games, Project Wingman tells the story of a country fighting for independence in a world set several centuries into the future, where a cataclysmic geothermal event wiped the world clean and forced humanity into a new age, with calendars being reset in the new A.C. era (After Calamity).
Project Starlight follows the deeds of "Wyvern Squadron", an average trio of mercenary combat pilots with a unique tactical approach. Wyvern's initial adventures are told alongside the events of Project Wingman, but quickly extend into the future, as the three try to find their place in a world on the brink of collapse following the end of the Cascadian Conflict. Along the way, the team encounters equally unique new friends, deadly new adversaries, living legends, and a sinister phantom from the past that threatens to destroy not only them, but the peace the world itself is so desperately grasping for.
From the ashes of Cascadia rises the phoenix on onyx wings.
Requirements/Guidelines
-Most, if not all communication regarding this series will be done over Discord, as such, an account is required for me and any other staff to get in contact with you.
-Satisfactory audio quality. I have no hard and fast rules about hardware, but I do suggest some basic noise reduction and compression when sending in auditions. You can have an XLR mic, USB mic, or anything in-between, just be honest with what your ear is hearing when you play your audition back, and make sure that quality is consistent.
-I would prefer 2-3 takes per line, and for the audio files to be sent in 16-bit .wav format. (I was gonna say 24-bit, but 16-bit is pretty universal, and the difference is negligible to non-audiophiles. If you'd like to send in 24-bit though, then by all means) Also, slates are not required, but if you'd like to include them, it's no issue.
-There is almost a guarantee that all of these roles will appear again later in this season, and while I don't have a specific time-table, this season may be extending into next year. I'd like everyone to take this into consideration when auditioning. Now, I have absolutely no issue if other factors prevent you from reprising the role later on, life happens, it's none of my business. The only thing I ask is that you let me know sooner rather than later so that I have the time to look for another person for the role, or to work something else out. This also applies to deadlines.
-You are free to audition for as many roles are you want. With the possibility of you being cast for multiple roles. Should this happen, I'll work with you to make some alterations from one role to another to make them sound distinct, and you'll of course be appropriately credited.
-I will not be locking in casting for any roles prior to the deadline. I wanna give everyone a fair shot within the time allotted.
-I want everyone to come in with a chill attitude and an open mind. I have no intention of being difficult with anyone, so I expect the same respect to be given to me and all of the other staff.
Payment
As of this current moment, Project Starlight is an unpaid YouTube series propelled mostly by volunteers and community support. I doubt this will change for the remainder of the season. But (and it's a big But) should circumstances change going into the far future, every single member of the staff will be fairly compensated. Beyond that, I will obviously be properly crediting every person who contributes to these episodes.
Future
Like I mentioned earlier, I have no definitive time-table for future episodes, since I am very cautious of getting burnt out. That being said, I'm confident that this season will release its final three episodes in the near-future, since if I properly pace myself, my passion for the series won't be going anywhere any time soon.
If anything I listed above sounds interesting to you, I welcome you and anybody you know to drop an audition down below!
