(CLOSED) The Someguy Series Remaster - A Project for Fallout: New Vegas [Round 2]
Project Overview
THE SOMEGUY SERIES REMASTER
A PROJECT FOR FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS
-----------------------------------------------------------
SYNOPSIS
------------------------
The Someguy Series is a series of interactive story addons for Fallout: New Vegas. They have gotten high praise from fans and critics alike for their writing, stories, and gameplay.
One area, however, that has been seen as inconsistent is voice acting. There are characters throughout the series that fall in one or more of these categories:
- Bad acting
- Bad audio quality
- Missing lines
The Someguy Series Remaster project aims to remaster the original audio of several characters and hire new actors to revoice a handful of the original cast.
WHAT IS MY ROLE IN THIS?
----------------------------------
I will be directing all voice actors cast for a role.
WHAT IS YOUR ROLE IN THIS?
----------------------------
I am looking for various actors who are willing to bring the cast of this project to life. The cast is wide and varied and will need a strong cast of voice actors to deliver the lines.
I am not super picky about microphone quality but would prefer if the mic is around the range of a Blue Yeti.
INSTRUCTIONS
---------------------
If you are cast for a role, you will receive a script through Gmail or Voice123 DMs with recording instructions, deadline, accent specifications, character bios, and line directions. If you want to discuss alternate communication methods, we can do that through Voice123 DMs.
I expect lines to be sent back for all characters following the correct organization.
It would be best if you were recording through audio recording software like Audacity or Adobe Audition. You should export and submit your audition as a .wav audio file with the settings of 44.1 kHz, 16 bits, and mono recording format. I would also like all lines to be separated.
I will open more roles over time. If you are not cast for a role, don't be discouraged from auditioning for another, as more roles will be posted over time. If you're already cast for a role and want to audition for another one - you can do so.

FAQ
----------
- Where will this mod be released?
-------------------------------------------
It will be released on Nexus Mods, specifically the section for Fallout: New Vegas. - When will this mod be released?
------------------------------------------
TBD. - What Audience will this mod be for?
------------------------------------------------
A subsection of gamers known as modders. Modders are gamers who partake in enhancing a particular game with new, independent content known as mods. Some games with popular and well-known modding communities are Skyrim, Fallout 4, Sims, and Arma 2 & 3. - How will payment be handled?
----------------------------------------
Payments will either be sent on the very day you're cast or after you've sent in your lines - It all depends on you. I would strongly prefer using Paypal as a means of transaction, but if otherwise, we can discuss alternative methods of payment. - What is the eligible age for auditioning?
---------------------------------------------------
You *have* to be 18 or older to be eligible for being cast for a role. If you're below that age, you're not eligible. - Deadline for Auditioning?
---------------------------------
2-3 months. However, there is always the possibility for the deadline to be pushed. There is also the possibility of separate casting calls for this project categorized in "rounds" (Round 1, round 2, round 3, etc.).
Thank you for your time. I hope to work with you!

Hello, everyone! The deadline is finally up and the roles have been cast! Thank you to everyone who auditioned. The next will be coming sometime later this year. See you all next time! ;D
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
- This man is the bodyguard for Adam Rzeznik, a slaver who is currently based in the Mojave Wasteland.
- Not much is known about this man, other than that he's been hired by Mr. Rzeznik to protect him and his assets - who in this case are his slaves/chattel. He's your average goon. Only useful when it comes to protection and being cannon fodder for their boss.
- He's not the smartest tool in the shed, but he is a tool. And being a tool, his boss sees him as useful for his tasks. He's like a guard dog, in a way. When his master orders him to attack, he will. When his master orders him to search for something, he will. When his master orders him to stay put, he will. He's a guard dog, an obedient guard dog.
- He's 28-35 years old.
- North American or Southern American accent. No other exceptions.
- His voice should be similar to his original voice acting, just in higher quality. There is also a signature of the original VA. You’re free to experiment; know that the voice must be similar to either the original VA.
NOTE: The combat and death lines are only for the audition script. They're not representative of the final script.
LINES: AROUND 36-45
[Person walks into your boss' premises unnanounced][You have your gun at the ready]
(Assertive)(Intimidating) Hold it right there. State your business!
[Person states they're here to sell slaves, and that they're offended by how you greeted them]
(Apologetic)(Talking to a potential customer) Uh, excuse me. His office is the first door on the right.
[Person says they're here to sell slaves][You can obviously tell they're lying]
(Intimidating)(Angry) Bullshit. Tell me why you're really here or I'm gonna unload buckshot into your lying ass, motherfucker.
[Person says they're here to collect the bounty on your boss' head]
(Intimidating)(Angry)(Ready to fight) You'd have been better off lying, you simple bastard.
[COMBAT LINES][SHOUTING THROUGHOUT]

[DEATH SOUNDS]
(Screams of pain and agony)
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
- Doctor Musgrove is the local physician of Frosthill, a safe haven for outlaws and fugitives based in the snowy region of Utah.
- Doctor Musgrove was once a praised physician in his younger years. When his wife died of a brain aneurysm, however, his life took a downward spiral. He took up drinking, which affected his work. Things came to a close when he eventually botched a delivery, causing a mother and her baby to die. He managed to escape trial and the authorities by skipping town. He now continues his neutered career in Frosthill as the town's physician.
- He's quite despondent and cold-sounding. His life up until this moment has been an absolute beatdown on his psyche. He still aims to help others, but any will to live and love he had for himself is pretty much null by the time the player meets him. He is passively suicidal, meaning he has suicidal thoughts but doesn't act on them. He doesn't care whether he lives or dies, as he stopped caring about his life a long time ago.
- He's 35-45 years old.
- North American or Southern American accent. No other exceptions.
- His voice should be similar to his original voice acting, just in higher quality. There is also a signature of the original VA. You’re free to experiment; know that the voice must be similar to either the original VA.
LINES: AROUND 42-55
[You've just finished treating a patient]
(Cold tone, but a faint glimpse of empathy and caring could be heard) See, that wasn't so bad. Anything else I can do for you?
[Person says they'll tough out their drug addiction]
(Sigh) Suit yourself. But you'll find out that your habit will cost you more than that in the end.
[Person says they're up for getting their wounds treated]
(Trying to be funny, but your despondent and awkward voice isn't really helping)(Cold tone) This won't hurt a bit. Nah, just kidding. It will probably hurt a lot. Hold still.
[Person says they'd like to be treated but don't have the funds to pay you]
(Annoyed)(Cold tone) For crying out loud. Get out of my face then.
[Person asks what brought you to Frosthill]
I was trained by the Followers {https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Followers_of_the_Apocalypse}, then opened up a practice in my hometown, Bishop. It was a good life until my wife died suddenly... (Brief, pained sigh at the memory of your wife dying) brain aneurysm.
|
|
I, uh, picked up a drinking habit not long after... it started to affect my work. One night I botched a delivery... the mother and baby died.
|
|
I was nearly lynched, surely would've been hanged or shot if I'd gone to trial. I managed to slip out of town before the sheriff could find me.
|
|
So, that's what brought me here. I like to be upfront about my past with any patients. Sorry if that was... awkward.
|
|
I quit drinking years ago, (Slight, awkward chuckle) so you don't have to worry about me sawing off the wrong limb or anything.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
- Matt Jackson is a young farmer who is currently mourning the loss of his father and two brothers.
- Matt Jackson is the sole survivor of a slaughter orchestrated by an infamous outlaw named Red Bear. Red Bear killed his father and brothers. He is currently mourning next to their graves which he made himself.
- Matt Jackson is a young man whose life has taken an unexpected spiral for the worst. The people who were there to give him love, affection, and direction in his life are now gone forever. He is sad, confused, and doesn't know where to go from here.
- He's 20-22 years old.
- North American or Southern American accent. No other exceptions.
- His voice should be similar to his original voice acting, just in higher quality. There is also a signature of the original VA. You’re free to experiment; know that the voice must be similar to either the original VA.
LINES: AROUND 87-95
[You're sitting beside the graves of your father and brothers][They were killed not too long ago]
(Sobbing)(Sad)(Mourning) They're dead... all dead.
[Person asks what's going on]
(Sobbing)(Sad)(Mourning) Red Bear.. {https://someguy2000.fandom.com/wiki/Wanted:_Red_Bear}... he... he killed them all.
|
|
(Sobbing)(Sad)(Mourning) I went into Westside {https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Westside} to get supplies. When I got back, he had already left...
|
|
(Sobbing)(Sad)(Mourning) I shouldn't have left them... I shouldn't...[Person asks you who was killed]
(Sobbing)(Sad)(Mourning) My pa and my brothers. He took the supplies, and just killed them. I know they wouldn't put up a fight. We don't believe in fighting.
|
|
(Sobbing)(Sad)(Mourning) Why would that man kill them? My pa didn't even believe in using guns. Why did he have to die?[Person says it must be hard being a pacifist when dealing with people like Red Bear]
(Sobbing)(Sad)(Mourning) I know... I... I don't know what to believe anymore. What should I do?
[Person says they don't care, and that what you're dealing with is not their problem]
(Sad)(Mourning)(Sniffs)(Mad at the world) What? Nobody gives a damn around here, do they? Okay, fine. I'll take care of myself.
[Person says you better start toughening up to survive out in a world like this][Suggests you join up with a raider tribe called the Great Khans {https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Great_Khans}]
(Sad)(Mourning)(Taken aback) W-what? Are you serious?
|
|
I-I don't know if I'm cut out for that... but if you say so. They're at Red Rock Canyon, right? I'll... (Sniffs) head out there.[COMBAT LINES][SHOUTING THROUGHOUT]
HELP!!!
PLEASE!!!! NO!!!!
GOD, PLEASE!!!!
[DEATH SOUNDS]
(Screams of pain and agony)
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
- Chester is a lieutenant of a gang of raiders called the Fiends.
- Not much is known about Chester, other than that he's affiliated with the Fiends, a gang/tribe of raiders native to New Vegas. Recently, he and his crew have hit a dry spell on drugs. Now he's fiending, and is looking for any way to satiate his addiction. He's heard about a certain someone (The Courier/player character) recently obtaining a large sum of money. Learning this, he and his crew staged a hostage takeover, killing a family and holding their son for ransom. He wants 50,000 caps (Which is A LOT of money in the Fallout universe). Nothing less. If the Courier comes to the deal with 49,999, he and his goons will kill the young boy.
- Chester is a cannibal, junkie, and raider; not the greatest combination. He was already paranoid as is, but now that he's fiending and out of his mind. He's ruthless, insane, and is willing to do anything to get his fix. He has become desperate. And when he's desperate, he is even more ruthless than usual. He's a dark, twisted man who doesn't care about the lives of others.
- He's 25-35 years old.
- North American accent. No exceptions.
- He should sound insane. Animalistic. Scary. Intimidating. He should sound like a person who has lost all sense of humanity.
VOICE SIGNATURES:
LINES: AROUND 20-30
[Negotiator comes into your premises]
(Fiending)(Intimidating) Hold it right the fuck there! No sudden movements, dickshit!
|
|
You're that Courier who got rich, right? (Sniffs nose) Good, I knew you'd come. You hand over the caps, and we'll let the boy live.[Person tries to negotiate with you to let go of the kid]
(Fiending)(Intimidating)(Angry) I told you not to fuck with us on the exchange. I won't warn you again.
[Person tries to insult by calling your and your cronies desperate for staging this hostage takeover]
(Fiending)(Intimidating)(Angry) Bullshit. The Fiends are stronger than ever. Nobody fucks with us. Now give me the fucking caps.
[Person tries to intimidate you by saying the other Fiends will eat you alive to get a cut of those caps][You believe them]
(Intimated)(Worried)(Nervous laughter) That's fucking crazy! They're like family, why... you know... actually, they are pretty goddamn shitty, aren't they? Ok, let's make it 25k.
[Person tries to intimidate you by saying the NCR will send bounty hunters after you for what you're doing]
(Surprised)(Uneasy)
What? That's bullshit, you're talking right out of your ass. I never heard anything like that!
[Person says that your gang is dying now that your leader and the other honchos are dead][They say that if you hurt the kid, bounty hunters will be coming for you next]
(Surprised)(Uneasy)(Intimated)(Worried) That was a bounty hunter? Look, I just want to get high, I don't want that kind of drama.
|
|
Here, we'll let the kid go. Just tell them... tell them it was a mix-up. We don't want no fucking bounties on us.
|
|
Kid's in the next room, safe and sound. We, uh... (Sniffs nose) we better get going, I've got some, uh...[Person says they're not gonna pay you the ransom, and that they're not gonna let you live either]
(Laughing throughout) Looky here boys, we got ourselves a badass!

CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
- Esther is a slaver who has a recurring presence in the Someguy Series.
- Esther is a slaver. In the Inheritance - one entry in the Someguy Series - she is running a slave trafficking ring disguised as a small orphanage. In New Vegas Bounties 2, she has been caught by the NCR and is being utilized as an informant. By New Vegas Bounties 3 - her last appearance - she is living in Frosthill with her partner with whom she has a child with. She, at one point, was accompanied by a super mutant named Zeke.
- Esther is a two-faced individual. She pretends to be a saint to keep up appearances. Once her personality is exposed and stripped naked, she is shown to have a heart of stone. Truly heartless. She'll do anything to get her way, which in this case for the Someguy Series, is getting out of being convicted by the authorities or being killed for her illegal activities.
- She's 28-35 years old.
- English/British accent. No other exceptions. I would prefer a Southern English/Upper-class/Aristocratic accent. I Would also prefer a Native English actress for this role.
- Her voice should be similar to his original voice acting, just in higher quality. There is also a signature of the original VA. You’re free to experiment; know that the voice must be similar to either the original VA.
VOICE SIGNATURES:
LINES: AROUND 163-170
[You're proposing a business relationship with an individual who can fund your slave traffic--I mean your orphanage]
(Sweet tone)(Saint-like) I've heard of you... how you took down the Syndicate, saved Westside from the Fiends. I also heard you're... well off.
|
|
Vegas is a town of haves and have-nots. I want to know if you'd be willing to help us give back to the less fortunate, give them a better shot.
|
|
I already have the spot for the orphanage picked out, and Zeke can provide security. What I need... are caps. 10,000 caps, to be specific.[Person goes the extra mile and hands you a 20,000 cap investment for your... orphanage]
(Genuinely shocked)(Big, fat grin)(Grateful) This is... I never expected.... thank you!
|
|
It's going to take us a few days to get the place set up, but feel free to swing by when we're up and running. I might even have work for you.
|
|
This is a great service you're doing for New Vegas. We won't soon forget it.[The jig is up. Your investor now knows about the true purpose of your "orphanage"][At this point, you drop the sweet, little angel act and show your true colors][Cold, mercenary, heartless, cunning, two-faced]
(Sighs) You couldn't leave well enough alone, could you?
|
|
Look, is this a matter of money? Surely we can come to an agreement.
|
|
And if you're thinking of making a move... don't. If you're the do-gooder type, the only way you'll save those kids is if you hear me out.[Person asks you where the kids are][You propose to break a deal]
(Cunning)(Two-faced) I'll tell you, but first you have to give me your word - in exchange for the information, I'm going to walk out of here.
|
|
You can still save them... the question is whether or not you're willing to put their lives ahead of your disdain for me.[Months has passed since your last interaction with your investor. Now you meet them again. However, by this time, you have been caught by NCR authorities and are currently under an informant program. You have called your former business partner to broker a deal]
(Smirk)(Cunning)(Giggles) Fancy seeing you here, Courier. I was quite looking forward to our next meeting. I hope you'll pardon my abrupt departure last time.
[Person makes fun of you and your current predicament][You don't find it funny and try to put them down a notch]
(Unamused)(Unphased)(Cold tone) Come here to gloat, have you? Ever consider that you wouldn't be here if I hadn't asked for you by name?
[Person asks what you're doing here]
Thanks to a touch of perfidy on the part of my Legion contact, I was ambushed by Rangers. (Sad tone) They even killed Zeke, the poor creature.
[It has been a year since your last interaction with your former business partner. Since then, you have moved to Frosthill. There, you met a man named Jackson (No relation to Matt Jackson) who you decided to settle down with. You're currently pregnant with his child and are resting easy in your retirement. However, a certain individual walks into your home. You discover it is none other than the person you have cheated death with twice. You're shocked, scared, and don't know what to do. Most unfortunately for you, however, is that the only leverage you have is your guilt and the fact that you're pregnant. You beg for this person to let you go, only for your child's sake]
(Shocked)(Skin turns pale)(Eyes widen) Bloody. Hell.
|
|
(Begging)(Pleading)(Tears running down your face) Wait! Please, just wait for a moment. Look, I'm with child right now, I'll be delivering in a few months. Please don't hurt my baby!
|
|
Whatever you're thinking of doing, please just consider the life of my little one. This baby doesn't deserve to die for the things I've done.[Persons says, "You know you deserve to die, right?"]
(Crying)(Pleading) Sweet Jesus, please, please, please don't harm me, if only for my child's sake. I know that I've done awful things, I know I deserve death.
[Person decides to let you go]
(Grateful)(Sees them as a saint) Thank you, thank you, thank you! It goes without saying that seeing you here is... (Sniffs) unexpected. I never would have thought.
[Person decides to let you go, but isn't so merciful to your partner Jackson][They kill them in cold blood, seeing it as a balanced punishment for what you've done]
(Shocked)(Skin turns pale)(Shouting)(Sobbing) Oh, God! No, you monster! He didn't do anything! Why, why, why? You'll pay for this, you hear me! One day you'll damn well pay for everything!
[Person says they're gonna kill you]
(Shocked)(Skin turns pale)(Shouting)(Sobbing) JACKSON, HELP!!!!
[DEATH SOUNDS]
