RWBY Fanfiction Audiobook "Forlorn"
Project Overview
This is an audiobook of a RWBY fanfiction called Forlorn, written by JayEmEl (me). There is no swearing or sex in this fanfiction, but it is a T-rated story because certain sensitive subjects are sometimes addressed, such as prejudices, abuse, and sexuality. The genres of this story are mainly romance and angst.
Most of the main cast already have their roles filled -- I am now looking for voices for Nora Valkyrie and Jaune Arc.
Payment details are in each character information panel. Payment does come out of my own pocket -- this audiobook project will not be generating any income of its own because it is using copyrighted material.
Please review the character details, and audition if you believe you'd be a good fit! I look forward to hearing what you've got.
Feel free to ask me any questions or concerns you may have!
Have fun!

Nora Valkyrie from the web series RWBY by Rooster Teeth is the most rambunctious and loud member of Team JNPR. Most of her lines in this fanfiction audiobook will be over-the-top and non-serious. Check out how she is in Volumes 1, 2, and 3. I will be looking for someone who can get a close approximation of her voice, or at least a good emulation of her personality.
You will be paid for this role. Nora doesn't have very many lines, however, and so I am offering two different rates and will pay you whichever one gives you the largest sum per chapter. The first rate is the new regular one, which is $0.15 USD per word (+10.00$ USD for good/timely work), and the second rate is the old regular one, which is $1.50 USD per line (+15.00$ USD for good/timely work). Payment will be done via Paypal, after lines have been submitted and that I am satisfied with them.
You may do whatever editing to your audition files as you would like (so long as they are clear), but if you are selected for the role, I will request you to edit nothing, leave 5-10 seconds of regular silence at the beginning of your takes, and have 3 different takes for each line. The format of your files will have to be either .WAV or .MP3.
Your microphone needs to be good enough that there will be no clipping if you have to raise your voice. Also, if there is too much reverb because of a poor recording setting, you may not be selected. If you can't afford sound cancellation/diffusion foams, you may try putting a blanket over your head or setting up in a small closet with lots of clothes, or any other method you believe might work.
For your audition lines, you may use the custom lines I've provided and/or some lines that Nora says in the web series. You may also post them here or submit them via email at carlyrealbiz @ gmail . c o m (without the spaces). Also my name isn't Carly, it's Jay. lol
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Good luck, and, most of all, have fun!

[Excited, somewhat surprised] “Oh-hooo, look at this. They even have a *hammer*!"
[Announcing arrival from far away, a bit sing-song] "Team JNPR is herrreee! Now where's all the cotton-candy?!"
[Conspiratorial whisper] "I mean, suddenly that makes a lot of sense..."
Ruby Rose is one of the main protagonists from the web series RWBY by Rooster Teeth. She is known for her determination in wanting to become a huntress, as well as having a bit of an innocent, silly and sometimes awkward nature. Her voice is in a higher, cuter-type of register. Check out how she is in the web series if you'd like to hear more! I will be looking for someone who can get a close approximation of her voice, or at least a good emulation of her personality.
You will be paid for this role. Ruby doesn't have very many lines, however (and she doesn't appear in all chapters), and so I am offering two different rates and will pay you whichever one gives you the largest sum per chapter. The first rate is the new regular one, which is $0.15 USD per word (+10.00$ USD for good/timely work), and the second rate is the old regular one, which is $1.50 USD per line (+10.00$ USD for good/timely work).

[Joking/excited tone] “What, you thought they’d have real weapons so we could beat and shoot each other into a pulp? [Laugh] We’re just playing laser tag!”
[Playing two truths, one lie] "Uhh…lemme see… Oh, I know! Okay, okay – so! I built Crescent Rose all by myself, I used to be afraid of the dark, and Yang once found me playing with dolls."
[Casual agreeing, then concerned] "Yeah, okay. Hey, Blake? Everything good?"
Jaune Arc is one of the supporting leads from the web series RWBY by Rooster Teeth. He is known for initially having no huntsman training and needing lots of help from his friends, especially when he gets selected to be Team JNPR's leader. Later in the series, he becomes a much more competent huntsman. He is Pyrrha Nikos' love interest, but doesn't notice her attention because he never thought he'd catch her eye. His voice isn't too deep, more like an older teenager with rare voice breaks. Check out how he is in the web series if you'd like to hear more! I will be looking for someone who can get a close approximation of his voice, or at least a good emulation of his personality.
You will be paid for this role. Jaune has very few lines, however (and he doesn't appear in all chapters), and so I am offering two different rates and will pay you whichever one gives you the largest sum per chapter. The first rate is the new regular one, which is $0.15 USD per word (+10.00$ USD for good/timely work), and the second rate is the old regular one, which is $1.50 USD per line (+15.00$ USD for good/timely work).

[Guessing what is the lie in Two Truths, One Lie game] "I bet it's the dolls. She's way too much of a weapons girl. [Hesitant, second-guessing himself] But, I mean, Pyrrha's argument seems pretty valid, too…"
[Happy, relieved] "It's so great to see you're okay, Ruby!"
[Butting in, trying to be smooth] "Uh, as she always does, obviously."
Character/Voice Description:
Dane Sycamore is another professor at Beacon Academy. He is an OC and currently only appears in chapter 2 of this fanfic audiobook Forlorn. He may briefly appear again in later chapters. Professor Sycamore is a man in his thirties, about 6ft tall with a lean body type, and he has messily kept brown hair and hazel eyes. He is described as being rather laid-back but good at keeping his students engaged and on task.
I am looking for a male voice that isn't too deep or too high-pitched, capable of authoritative undertones while still being approachable. There is no rasp or growl in this voice. In chapter two, Dane is speaking to a class of students in a lecture hall, so please keep this in mind for your audition.
Audio Requirements:
Do not edit your audition file beyond cutting takes you don't like. Please ensure your recording environment is quiet and as reverb-free as possible (if on a low budget, you can reduce reverb by recording in a closet full of clothes or putting big cushions behind and next to your microphone). You may not be selected for the role if your recording quality is too poor. You may record 1-3 takes of each line, it's as you wish.
More specific instructions like file types and the likes will be provided after you've been selected.
Payment Details:
You will be paid 0.16$ per word + 20.00$ flat bonus, meaning that for this role in chapter two, you will make at least 40.00$. Payment will be done via Paypal (or another means of payment can be figured out if Paypal doesn't work for you) upon completion/submission of all the lines and that I'm satisfied with them. If more than two sets of retakes end up being needed, I will pay for the word count of the line(s) again.
Communication:
My preferred method is through Discord, but I'm also fine sticking to email. No calls required. If you're uncomfortable posting your audition publicly, you can send it to me directly at LittleMooseNoises @ gmail . com (without the spaces).
Terms of Service:
Your voice will not be used for AI purposes. If you want the extra precaution, I will happily provide a signed copy of the NAVA Rider. Furthermore, by auditioning and being selected for this project, you are agreeing to having your voice showcased online in this fan-made audiobook/radio drama format. Please note that this project isn't generating any income of its own and that all money is currently coming out of my own pocket.
Additional Info:
Please feel free to message me here on CC or via email if you have any questions or concerns.
Good luck!

[Making a point, serious/casual] "We're reaching the end of the year, so you should all be well aware by now that you will face situations where the answer won't be as simple as 'Kill the grimm.' I'm going to show you an event that took place in Mistral..."
[Interested/surveying lecture hall] "What else do we notice about how this huntsmen team is coordinating?"
[Calling out from desk to be heard over students getting ready to leave] “And don’t forget, the end of the year is in less than two months, you should all be getting your sixty hours of shadowing done before then.”
