This project is a dedicated remaster of the sound design in the cutscenes of The Thing: Remastered. The original game was released in 2002 and upon it's remaster did not improve on much with the sound design, therefore this project is looking to bring new life to the entire audio of the game, giving it less of that cheesy 2000's sci-fi feel while also maintaining the spirit of the original movie. There's plenty of roles and complete freedom for voices, we'd love to hear your auditions if you're interested!
VA Requirements:Decent quality microphone (as long as I can understand what you're saying, you're good)
Little to no background noise
Use a software that can use .WAV formats for the final lines
Following the events at Outpost 31, a team is put together to uncover what happened to the researchers there. While the operation seems simple at first, the crew soon find themselves facing an invisible threat - a sentient infection of sorts - disguising itself as those it kills. What happened to the researchers doesn't matter anymore, what matters most is that, whatever this thing is, it cannot reach the mainland.
Thank you to everyone who had interest in this project! There are a lot of good auditions in here so it's going to be hard to settle on people. Regardless, whether you are picked for a role or not, everyone was phenomenal. I'm currently managing another project so it may be a hot second before I reach your audition, but otherwise thank you so much!
Still looking for some auditions for some of the roles, but besides that I'm loving what I'm hearing so far! There are some auditions that I think would fit different characters than the auditions were made for, so I'll be contacting applicants about that throughout the next few weeks. Keep up the great work! I really appreciate the interest people have in this project.
(Panicked) "Hold it!"
"N-No way! You're infected, just like the rest of them!"
"Look, your word ain't shit Captain!... There's some blood test kits at the kennel- You go grab those and come back here. I'm gonna watch you take it... Then we'll see what you really are."
"Yeah yeah, I don't think we have time for formal introductions. Can you get us out of here?"
"The infection has spread across the base, Whitely! We need to destroy all the organisms..."
The head of the operation taking place at Outpost 31, in charge of sending all the teams into each zone. Voice is calm and professional. Twist Antagonist in the story.
"Understood. Do a recon. See if you can find anything that'll give us any idea what happened."
"The results cannot be ignored Faraday, I thought you'd be impressed by them."
"Quite the contrary. I'm living proof that the infection can be controlled. The trials do not lie, doctor."
A simple engineer, part of the first team Whitely sends to Outpost 31.
(Looking at a strange ufo object in the ice) "What do you think it is, Captain..?"
(Upon entering the mostly destroyed outpost) "I think I can work with most of the tech in here, Captain. Just say the word."
A young medic, part of the first team Whitely sends to Outpost 31. For his voice, he's young and ambitious - though doesn't quite know what he's gotten into.
"If any of you take on any damage, get back to me ASAP. I'm not carrying any dead bodies back!"
(Frightened, as if you just found a mess of blood and limbs) "Ah christ! W-What is that?!"
A soldier, part of the first team Whitely sends to Outpost 31. For his voice, he's pretty much the stereotypical army grunt in the group.
(Cocking a gun) "I'm locked, loaded and ready to get shit done!"
"Everybody keep tight. We're gonna figure out what's going on."
Captain of Alpha team, found injured at the second outpost.
(Injured) "C-Captain, it's Carter!... Christ... Where is everybody...?"
(Beginning frantic and slowly becoming more defensive) "I thought they were part of the... the-the... Wait a minute... Don't you come ANY closer!"
A soldier of Alpha team, found in a locked room nearby Carter's location.
"Shit, you got that right... I-I don't know where they came from, they just showed up and my squad lost it."
"Last I heard from Whitely he was on the North side, talking some... I dunno, some medical-mumbo shit."
A younger member of Alpha team, strong southern accent.
"Look man- Me and Williams were trackin' this weird animal through the base a-and we lost it in the storm a-and we ran into this swede- I-I mean Norwegian..."
"Williams got lost out there too... I-I'm sorry Cap'n."
A member of Alpha team, disoriented and frightened.
(Wielding a flamethrower) "S-STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME! I'M WARNING YOU!"
"BULLSHIT! You're infected just like the rest of them- ONE MORE STEP AND I'LL FRY YOUR ASS!"
A member of Alpha team found at the second outpost, trapped in a room that the Things are trying to get into.
"Captain! You scared the shit outta me... What're you doing here?"
"I was looking for that Norwegian, followed him in here but got trapped by those things."
"H-Hey! You from that bogus rescue team Whitely sent?"
"Sorry... Thank you for the rescue, but... Aren't you the reason those troopers are here?"
"Where's Cohen? I thought he was with you?"
(Pulling a gun out in defense) "Ryan?! What the fuck are you doing?!"
(Watching in horror as a squadmate turns into a Thing) "That's not our squadmate anymore..."
"Do a blood test, I need to know I can trust you!"
(Improvise! The goal is to showcase how well you can act paranoid and cautious and alternatively act panicked and frightened.)
Someone willing to create music tracks that line up with John Carpenter's original score for The Thing (including call-backs to Ennio Morricone's theme for the movie)
