We're in the process of casting 3 roles for upcoming DLC for the game Star Trucker.
These characters will give players a variety of jobs and provide feedback on their progression throughout the game.
The deadline for submission is the 5th of September with recording sessions due to take place mid-September.
The total word count for each character is approximately 750.
How to Audition:
Please provide recording of the sample lines of the character that you wish to audition for (No more than 2 takes per line).
In addition to the line reads, please provide a link to a showreel (if you have one) and a description of the equipment you use to record.
Here's a brief description of the game from the Xbox store page:
Hop into the driver's seat of your rocket-powered big rig as you haul cargo, scavenge for salvage and interact with an eclectic cast of star-hopping truckers in this Americana-infused journey on the ultimate open road - space!
HAUL AND HOLLER
Cruise the hyper highways, taking on a variety of jobs such as fuel hungry long hauls and hazardous drop-offs to earn cash and unlock new content. And don't forget to monitor the CB radio for chatter from fellow truckers; it's a fantastic way to uncover side gigs and stay updated on galactic gossip.
MANAGE AND MAINTAIN
Keeping your rig runnin’ isn’t always easy. You’ll need to keep your core systems online, gravity compensator spinnin’ and hull patched to prevent your cab from leaking lung juice. Be sure to make pre-trip shop stops for replacement parts, and consider upgrading your truck at a local garage. These improvements are vital for safely navigating volatile sectors and ensuring timely deliveries.
HYPERJUMP!
Use the galactic map to plan your journey and warp jumps, while keeping an eye on your fuel reserves and power levels. Once your route is set, kick back, crank up the cab hi-fi and cruise to a selection of original songs covering starburst blues, galactic rock and asteroid infused americana. The open road is waiting!
MADE BY MONSTERS
Star Trucker is the passion project of a small team: Monster and Monster. A two-person indie studio with a love for all things sci-fi and sim. With the help of some talented friends they’ve developed an out of this world experience filled with emergent challenges and complex systems to master. So buckle up and join them for the long haul!
Hi again.
Apologies for the confusion, but I actually had to close this project and open a new one.

Hello folks. If you're keeping any eye on this project we've posted three more roles that we've just begin the casting process for.
Looking forward to hearing your wonderful auditions:)
Ross
Hello folks,
This is just a quick update to say a massive thanks to all who submitted auditions for the 3 roles listed! The devs at Monster and Monster and I were incredibly impressed at the level of talent on display.
We've now whittled the candidates down to a shortlist of 25 which are currently under review. It's a really difficult decision but we hope to make a call on the final three voice actors by the end of the week. We'll be reaching out to our chosen candidates very soon!
It's worth noting at this point that we will not be accepting or reviewing any more submissions so please don't send them.
Also, I know some people reached out for feedback and I'm sorry I've not had the time to reply to everyone. If you really, really want feedback perhaps ping me another message to remind me and I'll try to get around to it if I have time.
Thanks again,
Ross

Casting Request
• Male - Mid 40s to 50s• American - New Yorker (possibly with an Italian flair)Listen, pal. I'm booked back to back to back today but I've got a client out in Medusa Six that needs a hand. Do me a favor and go check it out, will 'ya?
That's enough yappin' for me. I gotta get home to the missus and munchkins. See 'ya around, kid.
Ahh, I don't get any of these fancy new cards and stuff. For me, it's always gotta be cash.
Casting Request
• Female - Mid to late 40s• British or CanadianNow you be careful with those hydroponic modules. That’s very delicate tech. Only the best, state-of-the-art feeder systems for these saplings.
You ever hear about the emerald-spotted pine beetle plague of '93? I was just a girl, but a shipment of lumber from Atlas carried those awful parasites. *a little sad* We lost so many crops that year.
I know it isn't as interesting as all the lightspeed travel and interplanetary logistics, but plants keep us alive! Keep us fed!
Casting Request
• Male - Late 20s to early 30s• South American - Hispanic or European - SpanishSorry, gotta run! I have a package due in Redsock in... Two hours. Plenty of time though, verdad?
I can run Vexmont to Medusa Six faster than anyone this side of Terminus. *excited gasp* Wanna race?
I’ve never been late on a delivery, it's a point of pride with me. Even the time I popped a micro breach while delivering to old man Bergmann. Still made it.

Summary
Ex-military and now a business man channeling his defense knowledge into sector protection, primarily from asteroids / space weather events, but also from corporate disasters and local emergencies.
Cool and confident attitude that hides a wicked smart science-y background. Doesn't really want people to know that he has a selfless bone in his body.
Not very helpful or detail-oriented outside of his work. Kind of a shmoozer, always looking for a deal / or to offer a favor he’ll claim back ten-fold.
The only time his cool and confident appearance cracks is at the mention of aliens - which he completely believes in, and takes the thought of them invading extremely seriously. Almost a prepper type vibe.
Sure thing, bud. You do me this favor, and I'll owe you one down the line, no questions asked.
Don't act like you don't know what monomethylhydrazine [mono-METH-uhl high-DRAY-zeen] is. That's kindergarten stuff.
What, you think we're ALONE out here? You've clearly never heard the Solitude Seven recordings. That's an alien language alright, and no one can convince me otherwise.
Casting Request
• Male - 30s
• Slight German Accent
Role
• Extraction Manager
• They deal with outsource for mineral detection, asteroid blasting and ore collection

• Wary of explosives but mesmerised by shimmering ore.
• Chill, content, knows there's more to life than work.
Related Businesses
• Planeto Metals
• K-Bond Construction
• Bergkraft Blasting
Summary
Extremely laid-back for a guy who used to work with explosives. Now he runs his own mining business, so he spends most of his time in an office, away from the action.
Has a fascination with shiny gemstones and that's mostly why he got into this business.
Jasper is nice and easy to talk to, but not the most helpful. Prefers a slow-paced day and is clocked out 5 minutes before the end of the day, every day. (Good for him.)
No, yeah, definitely. But be careful with the... Uh... Bridgewire Detonator. Those things are super delicate.
Palladium ore is in high demand right now, which is pretty fun for me. Palladium's one of my favorites. It's really shiny.
How do you lose track of an asteroid? ... That's a great question. Happens to me a lot, though.
Casting Request

• Southern accent with a slower, lower twang than a classic Southern Belle.
Role

• They also tow broken down trucks and scan for missing drones.
Traits
• Moon Baby’s ma / Silver Titans wife.
• A little snarky but will usually be in good spirits.
• Passionate about work and has a positive reputation, kind of as the space equivalent of the favourite aunt.
• Hard working semi-retired trucker who helps with reclamations.
• Insightful and investigative.

Summary
Ramona is the mother of a main cast member called Moon Baby.
Despite handing the family business over to her daughter years ago she’s still working at Killkirk Reclamation Yard to prevent boredom.
Ramona knows the galaxy like the back of her hand. She's knowledgeable and really good at her job, but has a sarcastic type of vibe and was definitely the cool kid in school.
Equal parts book smart and street smart, and likes a good challenge when it comes to retrieving items. She also had contacts in every corner of the galaxy.
Diego loses his welding torch probably twice a week. Unsurprisingly, he's one of my best customers.
Pfft, yeah, right. Could you see me settled down in Redsock, playin' canasta and scrapbookin'? That’d get old reeeeeeal quick.
Don't mention it. Really, don't. Can't have everyone thinking I'll help them out for free.
