We have a particular need for female Dunmer voices - if you know someone who might be interested, please let them know!


The Dunmer accent can range from modern “posh” British accents to the Trans-Atlantic accent from early Hollywood. To keep from sounding distinctly North American, Dunmer voice actors are asked to avoid the rhotic R.

In general, Dunmer should sound wise, even in their youth. They live in a harsh land, and their lifespans are very long - they are a pragmatic people and venerate the wisdom of their elders from even from a young age.  They should speak in a precise manner, clear and articulated, taking the time to think through exactly what they mean to say as they say it.

Female Dunmer will have a mid-range to low pitch. A rough/gritty tone may be present, similar to   low level of mild, continuous vocal fry. They are somewhat more masculine in tone, with some huskiness. Female Dunmer will sound mature overall, and don’t sound younger than mid-30’s in age. The most true to the original Morrowind would sound very mature, with a slight wavering, shaky quality--not from lack of confidence, but rather just normal aging of the vocal cords--still sounding wise, prideful, and confident in disposition. They won’t ever sound young, like children or teenagers.

For males, the rasp is the most important thing.  If you can throat sing, and apply this rasp on top of throat singing, that is the ideal Dunmer voice. That's how Jeff Baker does the voice.  

Note: Female Dunmer do not need the rasp that males use.

  • (Player dialogue Male)- I have long believed it was a mistake to turn from the old gods. Perhaps Azura is with you after all. And perhaps not. I will tell you that I've spoken with Dagoth Ur. He promised me the same thing. That he will drive the foreigners from our lands. But I am not one to ignore opportunity, nor am I one to be troubled by rubbing two sides of a coin. If you are one of your word, I am your ally. I will tell Velanda Omani and Nevena Ules to support you as Hortator of House Hlaalu.(Player dialogue Female)- Perhaps I can help you with the Oracle's riddle. Nammu, or 'no-name,' is a cavern in the wildlands of Sunna Guradan. Its east-facing entrance is west-north-west from the Daedric ruin Yansirramus. At the heart of the cavern is a great high chamber, flooded, with a central spire rising from the water. The water around the bottom of the spire might be the ring of darkness from the Oracle's vision.

Redgaurds of Tamriel come in three flavors, but nearly all of them in Morrowind will sound 'American Black'.

Most members of the Yokudan Diaspora you would find in Morrowind have been influenced by the language and culture of the Imperials, which themselves sound more 'American'. African language intonation influenced by American dialects becomes as American Black. Think Logan Cunningham (Rucks from Bastion), Erik Dellums (Three Dog from Fallout 3 and Nazir from Skyrim), James Earl Jones as Mufasa. Or for women, American Black women like Oprah Winfrey, Etta James or Angela Bassett. Most of the Redguards encountered in Morrowind should have this accent.

We are currently not casting for the other two types of accents. Should roles for these accents open up, they would be: First, seafarer folk that stick nearer the Altmer, Breton, or 'noble' Imperial influences would pick up accents like the Creole accents of the Caribbean. Second, the nobles of Hammerfell would sound West African, like Ghana.

  • (Dialogue Male)- An Argonian named Okur in Hla Oad has asked for our aid. This devout follower of the Nine is sensitive to spirits of the otherworld, and she says she is being visited by the ghost of a murder victim. The guards can't do anything in such cases. Go and speak with Okur. Here's some gold for expenses. If possible, discover the nature of the crime, and bring justice to the wronged spirit so it can be laid to rest.(Dialogue Female)- Just recently, a dwarven spirit appeared in my shop. I don't know why it's here, or what it wants, but it scares off all of my customers. This guard won't do a thing about it; he thinks it would be bad luck to disturb the spirit. If you can get rid of the thing, I'd be very grateful.

This short video by Hankshaw describes what is expected for Nords. Please take the time to watch it.

  • (Player dialogue Male)- That's right. See, I had a bad run of luck playing Nine-holes, and lost a bit of money. Normally, I'd be fine. We can usually keep some gold in our pockets just from the money the locals pay us for... protection. But I know some of them are holding out on me, especially that little fetcher Fargoth. He's come up light the past couple of weeks when I've shaken him down. I know he's stashing it somewhere. I'd like you to find Fargoth's hiding place.(Player dialogue Female)- Yes, just a few hours ago I was robbed. I'm certain it was the group led by the Khajiit, Dro'zhirr. They stole all of my jewelry, but most importantly, they got two family heirlooms of mine. They've been in my family for years. If you can return them to me, I'd gladly pay your their weight in gold.(Player dialogue: Ancient Nord - Special)- Din mey! Du har släppt löst ett sunvaar över denna värld. Må Stuhn ha barmhärtighet över oss alla.[You fool! You have unleashed a monster upon the world. May Stuhn have mercy on us all.]

Casting for Male Bretons is closed - Still seeking 2 Female VAs
Bretons are based after real-world Bretons, the celts of France. So we're looking for predominately French. True French accents are greatly appreciated. For variation, we also accept other light European accents. This includes but is not limited to Belgian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, etc...

  • (Player dialogue Male)- Ah...so you're the one who brought Maurrie and Nelos together. Nothing has been seen or heard of them since then, but the bards are singing songs of their love. Well, done! Please, take these as a token of my gratitude.(Player dialogue Female)- It is the sixth volume of Marobar Sul's "Ancient Tales of the Dwemer." Most of the "Ancient Tales" are not truly Dwemer in origin, but this one may be an exception. It deals with some sort of golem or centurion. Would you be willing to "borrow" this book for me?- Can you believe this isn't about a Dwemer construct at all? This book was completely useless. In any case, I need you to return the book before Sirilonwe suspects anything. Return the book to wherever you found it.

High elf males should sound like Benedict Cumberbatch. A deep, rich voice with British inflection. Not commanding in tone, but with an air of superiority and condescension to others.

High elf females should sound like Cate Blanchett. Most of them need a mature and regal tone with a posh British accent.

  • There are currently NO male Altmer roles available, but we expect to have 1-2 roles open in the future. If you audition now, you will not hear back until our Writing team has completed those roles.Additionally, there are very few female Altmer roles remaining.(Player dialogue Male)-Welcome to Arrille's Tradehouse. I'm Arrille, publican and proprietor. Don't take what doesn't belong to you. You're a new face here. If you want to buy from me, you have to barter. If you want a little advice -- free to new customers -- just ask. Would you like to hear about our most popular potions? Our most popular scrolls?(Player dialogue Female)- Fara, the proprietor of Fara's Hole in the Wall, and Dinara Othrelas, the cook over at Llethri Manor in Ald'ruhn, have an annual cooking contest. Fara wants an edge in this year's contest, and she's hired us to steal Dinara Othrelas' copy of "Redoran Cooking Secrets," which should be somewhere in Llethri Manor.

Argonian voices should sound heavily aspirated, like their lungs have to work extra hard on land. Their voice has some 'hiss' to it, but it is more of an 'h' hiss, not an 's' hiss like a snake. They should also speak fairly slowly, like an amphibious ent from Lord of the Rings. In keeping with the Native American style of their phrase-names, I would like them to also keep the monotonous accent of the Hollywood stereotype Native American.

  • There are currently NO Argonian roles available (male or female), but we expect to have 1-2 roles open in the future (both genders). If you audition now, you will not hear back until our Writing team has completed those roles.(Player dialogue Male)- I welcome you as the friend of my friend, outlander. But I wish to go to my friend's bookstore, and these troublesome fools are in my way. I have tried to persuade them, but they hate my race, and I fear there will be violence. Perhaps if you speak with them... but be careful... and be ready.(Player dialogue Female)- It asks about the murder, yes? If the claims are true, such a thing would require an extremely difficult and complex spell. Maybe an archmage could pull this off, with years of research and practice. The likelihood of such an intervention is doubtful, so this one concludes that the man is guilty.

For Khajiit, try going with a more smoky voice like was in Morrowind, for both males and females. The lilt is a mixture between Spanish and Arabic - almost like Morrocco.

For Khajiit names are an honorific. If they're slaves they refer to themselves only as 'Khajiit', but if they are not slaves they use their own name, and they relish saying it. They savor their names, holding them out just a bit longer.

Our Khajiit will have rolling Rs and pronounce J as the French 'J'. Also, they should emphasize short 'i' and long 'ee' sounds a bit more than other vowels. If you can, try adding some uvular trills for purring in a 'greeting' line, to show approval. These are similar to the rolling R, but you use your uvula to make a warmer, more throaty sound. Not everyone can do them, apparently.

  • There are currently NO male Khajiit roles available, but we expect to have 2-3 roles open in the future. If you audition now, you will not hear back until our Writing team has completed those roles.(Player dialogue Male)- Heirlooms? Hah! Dro'zhirr has found plenty of heirlooms. They just seem to fall into his pockets! In fact, Dro'zhirr just found a few new pieces earlier today. Took them from some Nord woman. Cried like a baby, she did. "Oh my precious jewelry!"(Player dialogue Female)- This Addhiranirr knows about, because it is about smuggling. Some smart smugglers are suddenly too busy for their old clients, because they have a new employer, the Sixth House, who pays VERY well. But what do they smuggle now? Addhiranirr doesn't know, because they are very secret. And this is odd, because these smugglers are always loud and bragging, and now they hush up like fat-bellied kitties full of sweet-meats.

Ashlanders should follow the same accent guide as regular Dunmer, but with a few changes.

Whereas “House” Dunmer avoid the rhotic R, Ashlanders should have a lightly rolled R instead. Their Cyrodilic (English) recitation should be choppier to help distinguish them from the other Dunmer. Depending on how good they are with Cyrodilic (English) their accent may even sound Dothraki or Mongolian.

Speaking native Dunmeri words, the choppiness is gone from Ashlanders, and should become something more akin to Dothraki, or Polish (many of our Ashlander Voice Actors are Polish - so this is just a thing that happened).

Ashlander females need to crank up the elderly wisdom vibe to 11. Ashlander males will sound dismissive, suspicious, and cold when speaking to non-Ashlanders.

Dunmeri Pronunciation: Foremost, the vowels. There are 6 major vowels, and they're almost universally spoken in the same way:


  • A as in father ( ä )


  • E as in egg ( ĕ ) 


  • I as in pig ( ɪ ) 


  • O as in home ( ō ) 


  • U as in rule ( u ) 


  • Y as in very (or any word ending in 'ly' - sort of an ee sound) ( ē )


Dunmeri vowels are to be pronounced discretely from each other, as in Japanese. Karaoke, for instance, maintains the a and the o in the middle as distinct sounds - same for the Dunmeri word 'Oad', meaning harbor. It's not just a long O sound (like toad), it's long-O and then A as in 'father' - two syllables. Double vowels of the same type are to be held for a slightly longer duration - again as in Japanese. The Dunmeri alcoholic beverage 'greef' is not to be pronounced with a long 'E' sound, but rather E as egg. Just hold the vowel sound a bit longer.

Three exceptions to these rules are: An "ay" together will have a long "A" sound (as in "say", ā ), rather than separate ah-ee sounds; an "ai" together will have a long "i" sound (as in "die" or "sigh", aɪ ), rather than separate "ah-ih" sounds; and an "i" at the end of a word (excluding when it is part of an "ai" pair) will have a long "e" sound (similar to real-world names like Bobbi, ē ). Other exceptions would be explicitly noted in your script (e.g. Gnisis: KNEE-sis). 

Dunmeri consonants are the same as English consonants for the most part, with a few quirks. Double 'L's you can pronounce just like regular 'L'. The name Llethri would be normal 'L' sound, 'e' as egg, 'th' as 'thistle', 'i' as pig.

Please read both the English and Dunmeri lines below. The Dunmeri translations are provided for context, but should not be read.

  • (Player Dialogue --- Male)English:Ho, look! An outlander. Are you lost, poor thing? Did the big, bad beasts bite you, so you need a healer? Or do you need our trader, so he can take your gold and give you things we would throw away or give to our guar?Dunmeri:Osuhn harig bahr sey. Oas edur ot errat daesohn, lacor osuhn. En oas edur neif aln am as bivri osuhn ean shotelaka ghar isk malfurdigh bal. Ju'okor oas homa el, as fahraj ebahr udirif opumelu.Translation:We have no other option. He’s an outcast, just like us. And he’s probably the only friend we’re going to find on this damned island. Besides, the way he tells it, the killing was perfectly justified.(Player Dialogue --- Female)English:South and west of Kushtashpi, the old Daedric place west of Ahemmusa camp, is the entrance to an old cavern called Sanit. That is where they found two hunters dead, their flesh white and bloated by the corprus. That is not a place where a wise man would go.Dunmeri:Ohn ur'ish eshtik sanaachlan? Ohn have'an damjulan cin gher as kefri calhnsan. Neibahri ohn juhlmiar el eri os balmari lah marida sanaachlan et ohn maridich ohm shoviya?Translation:You need more spearheads?

Orcs in Morrowind, while not actually stupid, certainly have their intelligence allocated to parts of their brain other than those used for verbal communication. While they excel at war tactics and crafting, their tribal nature still shines through. For many, if not most, Cyrodillic (English) is used clumsily and their limited mastery of the language leaves other races assured of their stupidity. Orc voices should be deep and perhaps a bit gravelly. Tough. Delivery can even be a bit choppy and abrupt. Your voice should also account for the fact that orcs have huge tusks that get in the way of their speech. This would make 'S' sounds difficult. Esses would sound instead like Sean Connery esses, a little like 'sh'.

  • (Player dialogue Male)- You wanna help? Sure you do, good friend. Look--those guys in Caldera think I did something bad, so they're looking for me. I'm too smart for them, though. I can hide real good. My friend can help me. Maybe you bring her a note for me? I can give you a present. Really!(Player dialogue Female)- No. Of course not. I can't teach you spells. I'm NOT a necromancer. No. Absolutely not. Not a necromancer.- Where did you get that? That's MY copy of Legions of the Dead. Oh, all right. I'm a necromancer. Look. I'll teach you a spell, but you'll have to keep your mouth shut about this. I can teach you the Summon Ancestral Ghost spell, or, if you prefer, I can teach you Summon Skeletal Minion.

For Imperials, there are two flavors, but the most important aspect is that they are very 'clear' and authoritative voices. They may be proper 'British' in emulation of the Aldmer upon which their culture is heavily based, or more 'American', but their voice holds authority. Like super-hero voice.

  • (Player dialogue Male)- A conspiracy to kill the emperor? Thank the Divines you found this evidence. Well done. And, it's good to hear you brought justice to those would consider such a course of action.- I thank you, and the Emperor himself may personally thank you when he hears of this. You have done a great service to the Empire. Long live Uriel Septim!(Player dialogue Female)- Ho there! You're one of Hrundi's band, aren't you? I can spot you a mile off. I've been waiting for some time now for assistance, but I suppose you will have to do. I'm on a quest to root out a "great beast" dwelling within these ruins. You and I will explore together.

Casting for Bosmers is Closed

There are three basic tropes for male Bosmer in Morrowind.


  1. The whiny/annoying Bosmer: Fargoth

  2. The scheming sleeze-bucket: High Pockets (Steve Buscemi) 

  3. The Napoleon complex smug bastard: Gaenor (Wallace Shawn) 

Female Bosmer are generally bitchy, bossy, and shallow versions of Elle Wood from Legally Blonde. 

  • There are currently NO Bosmer roles available (male or female). Casting may reopen if we need more Bosmer in the future, but that is not expected at this time.(Player dialogue Male)- Yes. I'm the one with the haunted house. The Imperial cult said they'd send someone to take care of the ghost. I suspect it has to do with the trap door. The landlord told me not to fool with it, but he didn't say why -- although now I can guess. The landlord gave me a key -- here. Please, let me know when the ghost's gone. I haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks.(Player dialogue Female)- He thinks I might be interested in him? Ha! That's a ridiculous notion. The very thought... insane. I mean, has he seen himself in a mirror lately? I'm sure he's a decent enough sort, but that's ridiculous. He might be more suited for my cousin Glathel. She's low-born, plain, and desperate for a husband. But me? You can tell Gadayn that you've spoken to Eraldil, and she's not interested!
