Skyrim DLC Sized Quest/Story Mod - "Mathmeldi" Chapter 2 - New Characters + 2 X Character Recast
Project Overview
Hi all. I am the author of 'Arweden - Custom Voiced Companion Mod' for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Not only does it add a companion mod but a Main Quest divided across 4 Chapters.
I am need of further voice actors and actresses for some unvoiced characters who will all play a major role. Some of these characters requires recasting from previous casting due to sudden changes.
OPTIONAL: Music/Soundtrack Composer - For Custom In-Game Music
This project adds a new faction, The Resistance, a renegade High Elven sect dedicated to preserving freedom and restoring their home land to their former glory. They are here in Skyrim to excavate an ancient elven ruin which may hold a power which may assist in their efforts. At risk, however, of an invasion of their enemy, the Aldmeri Dominion. But a more ancient evil begins to awake. And beneath their feet, the long dead now awaken. The player must unwravel this mystery and stop this before it has a chance to carry out its evil plan.
Deep within Mathmeldi, an ancient king, thought dead lies dormant and alive. The Resistance's efforts to excavate Mathmeldi has awakened this king who seeks to restore Elven rule and the Ayleid Empire. The Resistance must prevent the king from enacting this plan whilst battling the Thalmor and Aldmeri Dominion, their sworn enemy who later, discovers Mathmeldi and attempts to destroy the Resistance. In the middle, is the player and their companion, Arweden, a young Altmer who has run away from Summerset Isles her home. Little does she know, she is a descendent, and of royal blood.
EXPECTED RELEASE DATE: Chapter 2 will release to the public somewhere between mid March and May, depending on voice work.

AUDITION DETAILS
- You may audition for as many characters as you want.. If there are characters still needing to be voiced, the audition dead line will be extended whilst characters with auditions will be 'closed' after choosing suitable actors. More roles will open as Chapters 3 and 4 opens up later this year.
- WAV is the preferred format as it will save me from reconverting to WAV as it is the only format the program (Creation Kit) for development seems to like. Bonus points for sending individual files of lines (Optional) as this will make implementation X10 faster.
OTHER DETAILS
Although this is unpaid/voluntary I am more than happy to provide as much support as you need, if you are a budding voice actor/actress. In the form of Preview Youtube Videos and if need be, a written reference.
Kind regards, Scannerlegend/Didact

Lead/Major Role: Will appear in Chapter 2, 3 and 4
Along with the King and his daughter, Aranthil is a guardian and skilled warrior. I am looking for a voice actor that is able to add a 'savage and cold' voice but one that is articulated and calculating. I would rather have him have a 'deeper voice' to emphasise his 'warrior' like persona. He is physically alive but will be confronted as a 'projection' throughout the chapters.
Character inspired in part by 'Imlerith' from Witcher 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg5nipXVL-A) and Warden Eternal from Halo 5 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98U8HdDTgxI)
Profession: Guardian, Soldier, Heavy Warrior
Personality: Cruel, Savage, Cold, Calculating
Race: Ayleids; Ancient Race which have been wiped out. Eons ago, his race ruled an Empire
Information on Ayleids: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Ayleid
I am Aranthil. I stand eternally in service to Mathmeldi.
My reach is far across these hallowed halls. Your presence in Nagasel is most undesirable. You cannot escape my wrath.
You fought bravely... to the bitter end. I trust this time will end no differently!
Lead: Appears in Chapters 1 to 2
Captain Lorlilina is your stereotypical captain/soldier. She leads the research wing of the Aldmeri Resistance and facilitates communication between them and Lord Carenen, advising him on the best approach to problems or progression of their expedition efforts in meeting the Resistances' needs and goals.
Profession: Advisor
Personality: Critical, Focused, Open, a true soldier like personality
Race: High Elf/Altmer
I will trust Lord Carenen's judgment for now and thus you have my trust too.
I am a captain who oversees the research wing here. Loremaster Norilar and his students answer to me. I ensure they remain on task in what we seek here in Mathmeldi.
For too long the Aldmeri Dominion has oppressed our people, corrupted the work and legacy of our Aldmeri ancestors and hastening our destruction.
Lead: Appears between Chapters 2 and 3
Lord Arrilian is a haughty, proud and arrogant who embodies the typical High Elf culture of superiority. A pure bred elf, Lord Arrilian leads the Aldmeri Resistance in another Ayleid ruin, similar, to his counterpart Lord Carenen whom he also has a low opinion of. I am looking for an actor who can embody this persona.
Please see this video as a reference for what I am looking for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHT5bSGJ90E
Profession: Lord
Personality: Critical, Focused, Open, a true soldier like personality
Race: High Elf/Altmer
Do you seriously believe in such foolishness? A ruined makeshift fortress of the Ayleids hiding a powerful artifact?
You speak as if it could be the mantilla or a perhaps even a Numidium buried within! Has Lord Carenen infected that little mind of yours?
Daedric crows devour you Morginia!
Lead/Major Role: Appears in Chapters 2, 3 and 4
High Mage Rynor is an authoritative and elusive figure out of the Four Living Ayleids of the Apocalypse (excluding the King's Daughter), as High Mage, Rynor is extremely powerful and to be reckoned with when it comes to battle. It was he who had done the ground work which would result in the sacrifice of his own race to ensure his King, himself and his comrades' survival into the current age.
Profession: Sorcerer Supreme, High Mage
Personality: Cruel, Cold, Calculating, Elusive
Race: Ayleids; Ancient Race which have been wiped out. Eons ago, his race ruled an Empire
Information on Ayleids: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Ayleid
Ehlnada Garauvoli Naril Nagaia. You have come far but this is where your journey ends. With your corpses rotting before the long departed.
You do not understand do you? No... you speak the tongue of the Nedes, the slaves.
We know what you seek, the heart of this city. The last beating heart of the Ayleids.
Lead: Appears in Chapters 2 to 3
Irinde is a charismatic High Elf/Altmer with a friendly disposition and unafraid to welcome friendly strangers/outsiders to Mathmeldi. Her faith in the Aldmeri Resistance is unwavering and remains positive despite the losses that she and her comrades had suffered on their way to Skyrim from their homeland.
Profession: Paladin/Mage
Personality: Focused, Open and Friendly
Race: High Elf/Altmer
I am Irinde by the way. Ranger and mage for the mighty Aldmeri Resistance.
Ah honored and favored guests... come join us by the warm embraces of the eternal fire. Don't be shy now! Plenty of space around the fire.
It never hurts to diversify a little. '’m also handy with a blade.
Lead: Appears in Chapters 2
A faithful Altmer/High Elf Captain to the Aldmeri Resistance in service to Lord Arrilian's Paladins. Typical captain/soldier personality. NOTE: There are three other Captains in which the actor can voice alongside this character, they are all supporting characters/roles.
Profession: Captain/Soldier
Personality: Focused, Open, Typical Captain
Race: High Elf/Altmer
Many fell to the Thalmor, including Captain Finairian and while we stood our ground many of their forces descended downwards.
Once we secured the camp the rest of us followed suit, hoping to reach you in time before the Thalmor do. But it seems you found reinforcements?
My Lord! You're still alive! Thank the gods!
Lead/Major Role: Will appear in Chapter 2, 3 and 4
Cold and calculating, Erridhya was once the Grand Priestess of Mathmeldi, an Ayleid city which once worshipped Meridia. Forsaking her faith in the Daedric God/Goddess, she now actively works with the King of Mathmeldi and her surviving Ayleid comrades to bring about the end of Mankind. Cruel, Twisted, and Calculating in her demeanor, she can also come across as quite savage on the other end of the spectrum of her personality.
Profession: Sorceress/Grand Priestess
Personality: Cruel, Savage, Cold, Calculating
Race: Ayleids; Ancient Race which have been wiped out. Eons ago, his race ruled an Empire
Information on Ayleids: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Ayleid
The heralds came from above, and in their coming we hear the foot steps of fate. As it was foretold long ago.
Neither dead or living, asleep nor awake, soon we shall emerge and know the warmth of the radiant sun once again.
Soon the reckoning shall begin and you... you will be the first to pass into the void.
OPTIONAL CASTING: Currently using Royalty Free Music or music that is able to be legally used. Worth a shot trying to find someone as a music composer who can volunteer their time.
I am looking for a volunteer music/soundtrack composer who is able to produce background music that is in line with The Elder Scrolls Series. Specific themes would include Exterior/Outside music, Battle Music, Boss Music and Interior Music. Reference music below provides sort of the emotions I am trying to invoke.
General Elder Scrolls Music Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu7YYGOLCiU
Exploration/Exterior Music: Calm, Relaxing, in awe of a forgotten and ancient ruin with a sense of sadness and melancholy, of what was once one of the greatest elven cities in the world. Should invoke a sense of exploration/mystery.
Exploration Music Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjUrVGy2hA8
Interior Music: Calm, relaxing but sad, these interiors are filled with a losing faction of Elves who seek to reclaim their homeland, desolated, and isolated there is a sense of hope but sadness in an unfamiliar land, in an old, decrepit ruin.
Boss Music: Upbeat, and inspirational, invoking a sense of the player feeling like a Hero
Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF8W7is741o
Field Battlefield Music AND Actual Conflict Music: Music specifically for a battle between two armies. Upbeat, with a sense of doom but a faint and flicker of hope, underdog. See reference music below.

Conflict Music (Actual Battle): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=933eSOzK1Vw
