Casting Call Overview:
We are seeking voice actors for a cooperative horror game. This is a remote, paid project.
This casting call is focused on minor and side characters that help bring the world to life through in-game dialogue, audio logs, and scripted moments. While these roles are smaller in scope, they play an important part in building atmosphere, tension, and storytelling throughout the experience. All roles are for the base game, with the potential to return for future content if needed.
Compensation is a flat rate per role, and final line counts may vary slightly.
Roles:
There are multiple minor and side character roles currently open, including a mix of male and female voices across a variety of tones and personalities (scientists, security personnel, radio callers, and more).
Audition Instructions:
Submit 2–3 takes in either ABCABC or AABBCC format.
Submit all lines as one file.
Title your file Character_YourName, using either your username or your display name. Ex: GrantHoliday_JohnDoe; GrantHoliday_voicesbyjohn
Make sure your recordings are clear! If your audition has too much background noise, we might be unable to consider your submission.
Please include your recording set up with your audition (microphone, recording space)
Optional: Feel free to include any additional takes, any ad lib lines, or a demo reel!

Character Description: Grant Holiday is a seasoned late-night radio host based out of Las Vegas, Nevada, and the voice behind the long-running overnight program The Midnight Hour. Broadcasting from 11 PM to 6 AM, Grant has become a familiar companion to truck drivers, night shift workers, insomniacs, and anyone else awake when the rest of the world sleeps.
With a smooth, confident delivery and a knack for drawing listeners in, Grant specializes in covering strange and often unexplained stories—from breaking news and government cover-up rumors to conspiracy theories and philosophical discussions about the unknown corners of the universe.
Voice Notes:
Smooth, grounded, and personal — like a late-night host talking directly to one listener.
Natural, unscripted flow — take your time, use pauses and breaths; it should feel like real conversation, not a performance.

(Calm / Late-Night Intro) “Alright… that’s taking us past the hour. You’re listening to The Midnight Hour. I’m Grant Holiday, keeping you company out here where it gets a little… quieter than most people like.”
(Reassuring / Grounded) “Okay… slow down. I’m here. Just tell me what happened—what did you see?”
(Serious / Controlled Concern) “We lost the line. Phones are down on our end… and if you were listening just now, you heard the same thing I did. We’re staying on this

Character Description:
Kelly Powers is one half of the Powers sisters recruited into S4 as part of a specialized engineering and research initiative. Exceptionally sharp and forward-thinking, Kelly plays a key role in developing experimental systems tied to “The Construct.” While confident in her abilities, she’s not blind to the risks—and begins to question what they’re really building as things escalate.
Voice Notes:

(Curious / Controlled) “Fascinating, really—how much power this thing produces. You could almost make a weapon out of it… which is exactly what I fear they will do... This is Kelly Powers, Log 210. Signing off for the night.”
(Calm / Rationalizing) “If we don’t build it for them, they’ll just hire someone else—someone more expendable than us—to do it. At least this way… we maintain control.”
(Urgent / Controlled Fear) “We have little time—if we don’t make it out of this, I’m not just afraid for those left in this facility… but more importantly, those outside of it…”

Character Description: Amelia Powers is the more instinct-driven of the Powers sisters, brought into S4 not just for her intelligence, but for her ability to recognize patterns others overlook. Where most rely on data and measurable results, Amelia trusts her intuition—often sensing when something is wrong before there’s proof to support it.
As events within S4 escalate, she becomes increasingly unsettled, convinced that what they’re dealing with goes beyond technology. While others search for explanations, Amelia is already reacting to something she feels… but can’t fully explain.
Voice Notes:
- Intuitive, emotionally led delivery
- Open unease just beneath the surface
- Sincere and human, with little restraint

(Uneasy / Intuitive) “I know how this sounds… but something about it isn’t right. It’s not just what it’s doing—it’s how it feels when you’re near it.”
(Fearful / Certain) “I’m telling you, it’s not random. It’s following something… or someone.”
(Urgent / Determined Action) “The system’s ready. If we’re doing this, we do it now—before we don’t get another chance at this.”

Character Description:
Berry Windhem is a brilliant and enthusiastic researcher at S4, deeply fascinated by the technology they’ve been tasked to study. He’s the kind of person who lights up when explaining something complex, often speaking faster when excited.
Voice Notes:
- Energetic and intellectually excited delivery
- Curiosity and fascination driving the performance
- Nervous energy creeping in as reality sets in
- male adult
- adult
(Panicked / Frightened Realization) “Whatever this thing is… it travels through the pipes. We aren’t alone down here. It’s just a matter of time before either we find it… or it finds us.”
(Excited / In Awe) “This stuff… you can’t even come up with words to explain it to another human being. It’s remarkable—technology that feels more like science fiction than reality.”
(Confident / Convincing) “I say we build it. This could be our last line of defense. If they won’t protect us… maybe this will.”

Commander Reigns is the authoritative force overseeing operations at S4, tasked with ensuring progress—no matter the cost. A career military leader, he values results, control, and obedience above all else. Reigns applies constant pressure to his team, pushing them to accelerate their work while maintaining strict secrecy. As the situation deteriorates, his grip tightens, becoming more aggressive and uncompromising in his pursuit of outcomes.

(Briefing / Controlled Authority) “You’ve been given everything you need to complete your assignment. Anything else is irrelevant.”

(During containment failure, still calm) “Lock the sector. Anyone still inside is to be considered compromised.”

Character Description:
Dennis Lazarus is a brilliant but unconventional engineer brought into S4 after drawing attention for his experimental work. He’s observant, skeptical, and not easily impressed—often speaking in a grounded, matter-of-fact way even when describing things that shouldn’t exist. Initially treating the job like any other contract, Dennis becomes increasingly unsettled as the reality of what he’s working on sets in, struggling to reconcile logic with experiences he can’t fully explain.
Voice Notes:
- Matter-of-fact, conversational delivery
- Detached, analytical tone
- Subtle unease just beneath the surface
- male adult
- adult
- male young adult
(Casual / Slightly Guarded) “Honestly, I thought it was just another contract job at first. They kept it pretty vague. It wasn’t until I started going through the briefings that… things just stopped making sense, really. That’s the only way I’d be able to describe it.”
(Observational / Analytical) “Uh, well… the inside was this sort of pewter color. There were no edges, no corners—just one continuous surface. The closest thing I can compare it to… it looked like it had been molded, like jello, straight out of some kind of factory. And that’s when it kind of hit me… this isn’t ours.”
(Unsettled / Ominous Realization) “Being inside it… it had this ominous feeling. I know it sounds kinda corny, but it felt like you weren’t supposed to be in there… like the space itself just didn’t recognize you as something that belonged.”

Character Description:
“The Goo” is an unnatural, amorphous entity originating from within the depths of S4. It moves through confined spaces—vents, pipes, and walls—seeping into areas it shouldn’t be able to reach. Its presence is felt before it’s seen, often accompanied by subtle movement, pressure, or sound. Whether it’s alive, aware, or something else entirely is unknown—but it behaves with intent.
Voice Notes:
- Gelatinous
- Unpredictable, shifting sounds — never consistent or patterned
- Please feel free to play around with foley work for this-- the sounds don't have to be completely human!
(Low / Lurking Presence) Slow, wet movement sounds — thick, dragging, almost like something pulling itself through tight spaces.
(Agitated / Hunting) Faster, erratic vocal textures — layered clicks, gurgles, and strained, almost breath-like sounds.
(Close / Threatening) Tight, intimate sounds — quiet bubbling, subtle distortion, like it’s right behind you… or inside the walls.
