Spiral Episode 01
Project Overview
We are Folklore Games, a small indie game studio based in Montreal, Canada. We’re currently working on our first large-scale project, Spiral. Spiral is a narratively driven game in which the player follows Bernard, an old man suffering from cognitive degeneration who relives memories that were important in his life one last time before forgetting them.
We were here back in September casting the voice of Bernard when he is older for our trailer. But now we are ready to start casting the rest of the characters that will be present in the first episode!
The recordings themselves will happen at the end of the spring/ early summer, but we will notify you a few weeks in advance when we get there.
The budget you see is an approximation of the payment for that character during episode 01. We aim for payment of 3$ per line and if we end up with a few more lines than expected we will increase the payment accordingly.
Some characters will come back in subsequent episodes, we will let you know if that's the case before casting you into the role.
Be mindful that the global deadline does not reflect each character's deadline. We are casting them one at a time, and they each have their own deadline!
Please send us one file with a maximum of 3 takes
The file must be an mp3 labelled “CharacterName-YourName”
