The Machine And Her--Fallout 4 Companion Mod

Project Overview

BACKGROUND

Open call for the role of A.G.N.I.S., a digital assistant (think 1950s Alexa) in the upcoming quest and companion mod for Fallout 4 titled: The Machine And Her. After successfully finding the voice of Kit, the player's companion, right here on Casting Club, I'm excited to begin auditions for the other major role in this project! Currently we are 85% done, with quest scripting, dialogue, level design, sound and music design, and more, all completed!


___________________


PLOT SUMMARY

A.G.N.I.S. is a digital personal assistant with a failing memory, who doesn't seem to realize the world ended decades ago. Inside a decrepit subway station, she begins a friendship with Kit, a young woman who becomes determined to fix her.


 ___________________


Role Details/Requirements:


Gender: Female


Age: Early-mid 20's


Accent: Southern American or Mid-Atlantic (I'm interested to hear both, but either one will be great for this part!) Don't worry about sounding like a "robot" or anything. A natural human voice is exactly what A.G.N.I.S. should have. 



Audio file format: Files should be in raw 16bit mono .wav format, 44100hz. 


Audio quality should be clear with no background noise, and no EQ or effects of any kind applied. (I will handle all the post-production for what you send me.)

MISC

There are approximately 300 lines in this role, split fairly evenly between cut-scenes and one-off lines. A wide emotional range will be required, as the story explores how A.G.N.I.S. was created as well as Kit's background--and how alike they might truly be. 

The above video is the opening scene in the mod (the overall status of the project is 85% completed) where the player first meets Kit and A.G.N.I.S., whose voice is still currently un-cast and therefore only subtitled. 

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, or let me know if I've left out any information you need!

  • New role coming soon!

    Hey everyone, I wanted to say thank you again for all the auditions! At this time A.G.N.I.S. and Alex have been cast, but there's one more male role coming a little later this week, so please stay tuned and audition for that one as well if it interests you. Thanks again for following this project, and I can't wait to hear everyone's great work!
  • Role of Alex

    Hey everyone, thank you so much for your auditions! I have been listening (and re-listening!) to all the submissions for Alex, and it's become clear to me that I needed to provide more information and background about his character. I apologize for not having done that in the first place, I'm still a bit new to this process (and admittedly this is my first mod). So I will update the character description for Alex, and *please* do re-audition, as I liked all of your voices! <3 Nika

Read in either American Southern or Mid-Atlantic accent. 

  • (cheerfully) Oh, where-ever are my manners! Can I offer you an ice cold Nuka Cola while you wait for the train, mister? Or perhaps a Boston Bugle, hot off the presses! Or, if you're feeling lost in our beautiful new subway station, then just ask A.G.N.I.S., and I'll get you pointed in the right direction.

  • (somber)  It's getting worse. Has been for...weeks? Or months. Honestly, darling, I can't hardly keep track of the days anymore. All I know is that when I go to the dark place....I am well and truly gone.

  • (verge of tears) And Kit. Oh...she's just a child, you understand? She wants to help, but hasn't got the heart to do...this. And nor should she. Nor...should she.

Role assigned to: Paul Warren

Age: Mid 30s

Height/Weight 6"3 and 230lbs, muscular build

Hair: Black

Skin: Pale white

Markings/Scars/Tattoos: None apparent

____________

Background: Alex Tarkani is a man used to getting his way; his orders are not questioned, and no one would ever dare consider objecting to his command. He is calm, collected, and cruel--a man who commits atrocities from afar, bloodying his operatives' hands so that his own might stay clean. 

He does does not know how to be angry; he has never had to become so to have his will carried out. What will happen when, for the first time, someone disobeys him?


  • (stern) You were not given instruction to speak. Were you?

  • (dismissive/almost amused) Tell me, waster: Do you consult the rifle on your back before you pull its trigger, or the computer terminal on your wrist before you enter a command? You could no more consider the feelings of this girl than you could any machine in your employ. 

  • (stern): Remove your shoes before we depart, Herald. And as we journey home, let the blisters on your feet serve as your only warning to never leave it again.

The Librarian

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Airick

The Librarian is the kind of person that makes you wonder: "how on earth has THIS guy survived a nuclear apocalypse?" He is aloof, scatterbrained, fixated on small, often irrelevant details, and his train of thought switches often. There is an almost musical lilt/cadence to his voice, a strange contrast to the horrors of the wasteland around him. 

This is a smaller, supporting role, but certainly a crucial one to the story itself. He will have about 35 lines in total. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like clarification on the part itself, and I'll be happy to elaborate! 

  • Greetings, travelers! And welcome to the Boston Public Library! Your weapons, so many weapons! Leave them at the door, if you please. Because here, we aim to *learn*. And learn to aim! Or...not. But yes, welcome, travelers! 

  • Better than Dewey, himself! One shelf down, two to go. Two shelves down, three to go. Four shelves is madness, and this madness has *got* to go!

  • Hmm? Oh yes, yes of course. The key you need's the key, indeed! Here you are, and off you go!

cast offsite

Dixon Monroe is an African American man in his mid 40s-50s, with an affect/accent fairly similar to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ9vKhRmp2c


There are about 15 lines total for the character; it is a very minor part. 

  • Oh, well, uh, hello there. Okay. This is Dixon Monroe speaking, and if you're hearin' this, then hopefully I didn't go on and mess something up with the frequencies and broadcast myself to the whole damn state. On second thought, maybe that wouldn't be so bad. What happened here, what they done to that gal...people oughta know. Otherwise, if you're hearing this because you been picking up those bread crumbs I've been putting down, then mister: I pray you're not above cleanin' up a mess, cuz, well, these folks sure have left you one.
