All Nurang Auditions with Filters Applied
https://youtu.be/RTsHc-VGYhA
Hello all! Wanted to give an update on the auditions, and here they are for all who wanted to hear their take--and fine tune if necessary.
The Call of the Flame (Chapter 7)
Project Overview
Not long after the Tribe of Gods shaped the world and enkindled the stars, the many races were led to name their lands. The plains of Human Wynland, the dunes of Dwarven Kanduk, the mountains of Orcan Workingar. And the three Gods--as unique in morality as their own elements, bestow their unique elemental magic to the few they deem worthy. Rhuadu—Chieftan of Gods, grants the gift of fire and strength, Duinna—Nature’s Guardian, the power of enchantment and alchemy, and Koannus—the Deep God, grants power over sea and soul.
Three there were. Now only two remain to grant their power.
The story centers on a girl named Bri, a jaded barmaid who's father--the man who slew Rhuadu has passed away, leaving her a struggling barmaid. When a Mage called Villadius find her, he sends her away on a quest across the world to discover how her father killed a God, and how it can either be undone, or done again in the war against the Deep God. Who empowers an Elvan Sorceress across the ocean, the rightful Empress with ambitions to surpass her Empire's former might.

Rates:
As of now: compensation for recordings are at $0.17 per script line (essentially a half sentence of 5-8 words). Rounded off to the highest. Despite that, no role--even if it's 1 line, would be compensated less than $3.
As for singing parts, I will compensate at the same rate per minute of music as the composers, which is $9 per minute of music in addition to compensation for lines.
For example Bri, who speaks 169 times in Chapters 1 & 2 together (313 script lines), is $53. A reoccurring role like Ultovin would make $15 for his appearance in Chapters 1 & 2.
We will have a Patreon page, and the podcast will be open for sponsors. If/when it gains some traction, all rates will be put into review. But until then I’m going in under the assumption it’ll fall completely on me for funding, which I’m totally prepared for. Still, I want to be fair, but at this time this is the only rate I can promise—it’s also the rate for which I’ve paid voice actors before for other projects.
Above all, I want to work with people who love voice acting for the fun of it. I love working on this stuff and hope to collaborate with people who love it too.
How to Audition:
- Send them to us here, or at [redacted]. Subject: Audition for (character name) from (username). Send them as either an attachment or a link, but preferably an attachment.
- Make sure to minimize noises or bumps while recording. Only your voice should be apparent. If you like to filter or remove vocal tics, be sure to include the unfiltered version as well.
- Record in .WAV.
- Save as: cotf_username_audition (ex. CotF_Taruk_RubbishMan_audition.wav).
- We will critique if requested. We also accept redos.
- If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to e-mail us at [redacted].
Since this is an Audio Drama, all of the show's emotion and humor must be conveyed through the character's voices, so be sure to show off your emotional range.
Note: We value acting ability over a voice that matches a character, so don't let your vocal pitch deter you from auditioning.
We welcome auditioning for multiple roles as long as you can make each of them a bit different!
We look forward to working with you guys! Also happy to answer any and all questions in comments or as a PM. Or even directly sent to my email.

Quickie, yes I am still alive
Hello all, I'm dying to get to the Nurang auditions and really sink my claws into it (no pun intended). My goal is to post up a video here, with all auditions lined up one after another, so that you can all hear how they sound when filtered. I'm going as fast as I can finishing up Chapter Part 2, and there's been a shift in the writing for Chapter 7 that needs to be addressed. So I thank you all for your patience, you're next on the list.

Role assigned to:
Sarah Ruth
NOTE: This character will raise their voice. A lot. And then really REALLY raise their voice at other times.
Dragons were long revered and treated as sacred creatures in the time of the Chieftain of Gods, but after the fall of Rhuadu the Dragons no longer had inhibitions. Some even wreaked havoc. And thus, the Dragons went from sacred and respected to feared and sometimes hunted.
Nurang was one such Dragon, who--after the fall, became a recluse in the mountains. Hateful of the creatures who enter her cave, and answers them with fire.
Voice: Nurang is less of a friendly Dragon, and is more Smaug-esque. Intelligent, but cruel and hateful. Though her evil stems not from greed, but from entitlement, she's embittered by the fact she was once worshiped. Her voice is seething with anger and judgement, and always ready to transition from speaking, to scorching.
NOTE: This character will utilize a number of effects. Some from programs not everyone will have access to. We will be testing your voice against it, however, we have come up with a few easy steps that can be followed on Audacity that comes pretty close to the final effect. If you'd like to give it a try for your own testing purposes, PM me.
Despite this, the effects will depend on the quality of the performance, and after extensive testing we've found these qualities take to the lower pitch and speed filters the best: Slow delivery with enunciation, a low growl-like quality.
Also note, due to the difficulty of capturing such a voice there will definitely be a Shortlist and from there, some fine tuning.
Everyone has something to prove when they come to see the great dragon. Kings to compare my grandiosity to theirs, hunters to conquer the greatest prey, scholars to ask the truth from an ancient soul. All think themselves special.
You think fire can harm me?! Harm me?! Girl, I - AM - FIRE!

Role assigned to:
Myles Catania
A proud wanderer in the Wynland Kingdom, though not from around there. A well traveled and distinctly mysterious man.
Voice: Softspoken, but gravely. I would encourage trying an accent to imply his well traveled origin, like Polish or Ukrainian.
If you want to know about dragons, you ask me, halfling. Your books might know a thing or two, but can they tell you what you’ll find as you approach their den? What it eats? When it sleeps? How to pierce one’s heart beneath it’s armor? All things you must know, lest it finds you first.
