Starcraft 2 - The Crystal Shards
Project Overview
The Crystal Shards is a fan-made campaign for the free-to-play RTS game Starcraft 2. The current release (which is the first 9 / 21 missions) has nearly reached 4,000 downloads and has been met with a strong positive reception!
The next content update is deep in development, and one of its key features is replacing the placeholder voices with official voice acting. That's where you come in! :)
THIS IS AN IN-DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. Please only apply to the bigger roles if you will be able to continue voicing the character over the next year or so as the project evolves.
Payment: $1 per accepted voiceline (3 takes each).
Note: Character voiceline count can range anywhere from 5 lines to 600 lines, depending on their prominence to the story.

Role: Main Protagonist
Number of Lines: ~600
Personality: Excessively nerdy; always fueled by his passion for research and scientific discovery. Likes to act confident, but honestly is quite a wimp. Sarcastic and dorky.
Background: After leaving the Hyperion at the end of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty, he has gone through many hardships and had to learn to become a leader of his own, rather than just sticking behind where it is safe. He is well equipped with medical equipment to support troops on the battlefield and is eager to dig into any new research opportunity.
Other Info: This character is a pre-existing character, so the goal is to mimic their intonation and energy as closely as possible.

Mmmm can't do that. We're at maximum supply!
Really, Gary? Again? Huh, one of these times I won't rebuild you.
Ugh, that took foreverrrr! At least this means the scan anomalies from earlier must be in our proximity.
Role: Side Character
Number of Lines: ~90
Personality: Mildly robotic and calculated. Imagine futuristic british (male) computerized systems from various shows/movies (e.g. Wheatley from Portal 2).
Background: Gary is Stetmann's robotic personal assistant and super computer. Although machine, its intonation is similar to most humans due to its modern and advanced voice modules. Most players will know Gary from the co-op missions, however that Gary is Gary Mk II. This campaign's story takes place during Gary Mk I's existence, thus it does not share the same voice module as the co-op missions.
Other Info: This character has no reference voice samples. Use your creativity and provide a voice that you think would fit a soothing and informative computerized system companion.

Power Generator destroyed. All Missile Turrets on this platform are now disabled.
Problem: The entrance is closed by a Hyper Field, virtually indestructible.
Energy running low. To maintain Nano-Repair functionality I need to extract energy from local Energy Crystals.
Role: Side Character
Number of Lines: ~90
Personality: Cocky and overly self-confident. Mysterious, tactile, and always a few steps ahead. Bothered by everyone, as he sees them as a waste of time. Deep voice, akin to Alarak from Starcraft 2 (excluding the whispering audio effect).
Background: Oatis is a commanding officer of the Junkers faction, but also believes he is much better than his fellow allies. His cocky attitude and demeaning vocabulary often make him frustrating to work with, but he always gets what he desires. He’s tactile and clever, with mysterious intent.
Other Info: This character is an original character, but the voice and attitude should generally match the energy of Alarak. Voice examples will be of Alarak (just as a reference point), but feel free to give your own take/spin on it.

Sounds like underwhelming science fiction, I mean really? Are you even trying anymore?
Oh, another successful conquest.
My fellow Junkers seem to lack vision. Apparently, both figuratively and literally.
Role: Side Character
Number of Lines: ~90
Personality: Friendly, serious, and direct. She is demanding and confident, but has a playful undertone. She is a person of her word, but likes to keep things interesting by sometimes playing dirty.
Background: Agent Terra is a freelancing Ghost. She has been hired to collect one of the Crystal Shards that Stetmann is after. However, one thing she loves more than money, is competition. She is overly confident in her skills, while having a fun yet intimidating aura.
Other Info: This character is an original character, but the voice and attitude should generally match the energy of Nova. Voice examples will be of Nova (just as a reference point), but feel free to give your own take/spin on it.

What can I say? I do have the best equipment.
Ah, more energy. Just what I wanted. Now that's a recharge.
Playing dirty, are we? Heh, I will enjoy this.

Whatever it is, I bet it's worth a lot. Let's bring it to the boss.
