Project Tyr - Casting Call E
Project Overview
Hey everyone! This casting call is for one more playable pilot in the strategic tank shooter, "Tyr".
Tyr is the debut project from Stoke Games, a team founded in 2023 and featuring an array of talented folks who have worked on games such as League of Legends, Valorant, Disney Infinity, Starcraft 2, MultiVersus, Hogwarts Legacy, Destiny, Call of Duty, and more. Voiceover for Tyr is being handled by the award-winning team at Power Up Audio (Subnautica 2, Darkest Dungeon, Ruined King: A League of Legends Story, Tunic, Celeste, Into the Breach, et al.).
Notes:
- This is a non-union project.
- All roles are in English.
- Submissions are online only.
- We expect each role to require 2 hours of recording time, maybe 3 (and with potential follow-up sessions down the line), and we're paying at least $250USD/hr; negotiable with prior experience.
- Recording and direction will be done over Discord - as such, your submission should reflect the audio quality you are able to achieve in your recording space.
- All performers will be listed in the game's main credits.
- We will not use recordings for AI voice cloning, synthetic reproduction, or machine learning. We may only consider such use with separate and explicit written permission from the performer, and new compensation agreed upon by both parties.
- We will be waiting until the deadline to cast. You have until the deadline to submit auditions, but we will not be considering auditions submitted thereafter.
- After the deadline, and once this role is cast, we will be looking to record ASAP. (November likely.)
Game Brief:
TYR is a strategic multiplayer vehicle shooter. Players choose from an eclectic roster of pilots and their powerful vehicles (mainly tank-like) in 8v8 matches that prioritize teamwork and strategy over twitch reflexes.
Game Tone:
TYR takes place in a sci-fi world, but one that is tactile, grounded, and heavily engineered. Our characters are explorers, soldiers, and scientists - some are on Tyr to conquer, others to discover, but all of them take what they’re doing quite seriously. Though some of the characters might be a bit more “jokey” or “quippy,” each of them is in the cockpit of a massive war machine and acts accordingly. Their performances should feel connected to the idea that they are operating the controls of their machines and communicating with themselves and their teammates via radio comms, rather than speaking directly to the player.
Audition File Naming and Format Guide:
- Please package auditions as a single audio file of a single read through the character’s lines. (Of course, feel free to edit this audition together as a showcase of your best single line reads.)
- Please name audition files as follows: Character_YourName.mp3(eg. Taina_JaneDoe.mp3)

Full Character Breakdown and Sides here. (and briefly outlined below)
~~~~~~~~~~
Name: Taina Torres
Age: 24
Race: Human
Birthplace: New York City, Earth
Tank: Fuse
Ability: GLOM Missile
Faction: Zeal
Character Summary:
Taina grew up in her father's speeder shop, more at ease with machines than people. Her father sheltered anyone in need, including Rebel operatives once the war began. When Fist enforcers beat him for hiding a Rebel officer, she gave up the officer's location to save him – but they killed him anyway. Blaming her own weakness for betraying her father, she flew his beloved vintage restored Copperhead speeder to Tyr on a course he'd already plotted, and now fights with the Zeal to redeem herself and claim the planet's power for his memory.
(Taina is one character within a whole cast of playable pilots.)
Performance Notes:
Taina is generally more serious, reserved, and terse. When encountering bad outcomes, she’ll often be critical of her own weakness first, then angry with herself. She can get elated and loud in positive scenarios, but finds too much expression indulgent or overstimulating.
She should have some amount of New York Puerto Rican/Boricua accent, but it doesn’t need to be super thick. A few of her lines incorporate some Spanish and Puerto Rican slang, so good Spanish pronunciation is needed.
A good reference would be Jennifer Lopez from her 1998 interview for the movie “Out of Sight”. Please note this is only an accent reference - NOT a personality reference.
- english
- female adult
- spanish (puerto rican)
