PLEASE NOTE: ALL ROLES ARE UNPAID. Our budget is very tight and while we believe you deserve to be compensated for your talent, we cannot offer payment for this casting.
Raw Metal is a sci-fi stealth-action dungeon crawler with a focus on smooth, stylish gameplay. You are a lone scavenger on the distant, barren exoplanet Charybdis. In search of gear and supplies, you infiltrate the depths of Katabase 6, a massive mining facility run by a corrupt megacorporation known as Orpheus Tech. Sneak through the mines undetected, cleverly utilizing various gadgets and equipment to your advantage, but beware; if you're caught, you'll need to rely on your combat skills for a fighting chance to escape.
This is an upcoming indie game being developed by a small team for PC. We're very passionate about it, and we need your help to bring its characters to life!
As this is an action game, all characters will be fighting at some point, meaning you'll need to be able to provide grunts, barks, and yells for attacking, getting hit, and getting knocked out. Feel free to include some of these in your audition if you like, but it's not required unless you get the role.
Please try to meet the following guidelines:
None of the roles are restricted by gender or any other demographic, so we encourage anyone meeting the above specifications to audition!
If you'd like to check out the game or play the free demo on Steam, you can find everything you need here!
Thanks for your time, we look forward to hearing your auditions!
Thank you to everyone who applied! Everyone we can cast for this project has been contacted, so if you haven't heard from me we unfortunately won't need your voice for this project. However, there were a lot of great auditions and a few of you may hear from me in the future regarding projects to come!
Thank you all for your time and effort, and keep at it!

Thanks so much to everyone who auditioned! We're blown away by how many people want to be a part of our project. Now that we've hit our deadline, however, we're closing auditions. You'll be hearing from me on Discord or CCC within a couple weeks if we want to offer you a role, and I'll be making another announcement here when all of our roles have been cast. In the meantime, I noticed a number of you are looking for feedback on your auditions. I'm not a professional VA, but I'd be happy to critique your audition if you like; just shoot me a message!
Thanks again, everyone!

Hey everyone!
Thank you all so much for the incredible auditions. I'm honored that there are so many talented voice actors out there that want to be a part of this project!
We've received far more auditions than we anticipated in such a short time frame, and I've had a blast listening to so many different takes on the characters. Due to the volume of submissions and our tight development timeline however, I'm going to move the deadline up to speed up the casting process.
The new deadline for auditions will be Sunday, May 14th at 11:30 PM.
Make sure you get your audition in before then if you want to be considered for the project! If you can't submit before the new deadline, DM me on Casting Call or on Discord (ArcticK9#0785) ahead of time to let me know.
Thank you all again and sorry for any inconvenience!

Voice Actor
As the first boss of the game, this character is the head of security at the exoplanet mining facility in which the game takes place. Has been working for this corrupt corporation for a long time, and has grown sick of them. The player showing up and sneaking in is proving an annoyance to them, and they're looking to snuff out this false hope of fighting back before it gets out of hand. Tired, grizzled, and authoritative, their performance should be one of calm and empathetic power. That is, until the player starts to beat them, and their perspective starts to shift as they begin to have hope as well.
Voice type: low-pitch, grizzled, calm, powerful
Voice age: 40-60
Voice gender: any (female/non-binary encouraged!)
"I don't know what you're looking for down here, but you're not going to like what you find."
"You should've stayed home, kid."
(Getting back up for phase 2 after being beaten) "There may be hope after all. Alright then, I won't hold back... show me what you've got, kid!"
Voice Actor
Personally oversees all operations at the exoplanet mining facility in which the game takes place. Impressed with the player's skill and determination, but sees them more as a potential asset than a threat at first. Patient and confident, they're as skilled a fighter as they are a public figure for the company. Takes pride for their company's achievements and innovations, but secretly fears what they've discovered beneath the planet's surface. During their fight with the player, their demeanor shifts from confidence to panic and desperation, fearing the destruction of their last bastion against the fury of Charybdis.
Voice type: medium pitch, confident, patient, professional
Voice age: 30-50
Voice gender: any (female/non-binary encouraged!)
"I'm afraid I can't allow that. I've risked far too much to get here."
"I know who you are. It won't change anything."
(After being beaten) "Alright, enough! What do you want, money? That's why you came to this wretched planet, isn't it?"
Voice Actor
Contract guard stationed at the mining facility, hired to keep intruders like the player out of the premises (to varying degrees of success). Most of them aren't the brightest, and don't take their jobs super seriously, but they're tough and well-equipped. You can have a bit of fun with these; think Red vs. Blue or Star Wars stormtroopers.
Voice type: any
Voice age: any
Voice gender: any (female/non-binary encouraged!)
(improvise: grumble about your job)
"Hey! Intruder!"
(hit by a teammate) "Watch where you're swinging!"
Voice Actor
This is the protagonist of the game. Multiple voices may be used for the final game for the player to choose from.
A rogue agent infiltrating the mining facility to shut it down. Silent, cunning, and aggressive with immense willpower and fighting skill, they're very rash and tend to dig too deep on their ventures. Voice is hushed and scratchy, but may get loud in the heat of combat.
Voice type: any pitch, hushed, scratchy, convictive, straightforward
Voice age: 20-30
Voice gender: any (female/non-binary encouraged!)
"This keycard should let me get to the next floor."
"I expected more from you."
(clear spoken, aggressive) "Shut up. I'm sick of being lectured. I'm shutting this down."
