This Project is a complete Secret (1998)
Project Overview
What is it?
An indie interactive web project recreating the aesthetic of late 1990s.
Who is it for?
This project is aimed at fans of retro aesthetics, analog horror, and online mysteries.
Why audition?
It's a paid, fun, and creative gig! You get to voice over the 90s characters, without needing high end, sterile studio equipment.
UPDATE PART 2: NEW MAIN ROLES ADDED!
Since this project is growing, I want to reveal a tiny bit more about what we are actually building here: You will be voicing characters in an interactive online mystery with a overarching story and some serious dark undertones.
Because of this, I have just added two massive MAIN ROLES to this casting call! One is a charismatic Realtor, the other is an exhausted, cynical Detective (and yes, I am 100% serious: for that one you actually need to eat a real, crunchy apple on mic and bless us with your snacking noises). These roles are crucial to the core narrative, require a lot of nuance, and therefore come with a higher budget!
Note on Confidentiality:
Because the final project contains interactive mystery elements, selected actors will be asked to agree to a simple NDA (via email/message) before receiving the full script and context.
Transparency Note regarding AI:
To avoid any confusion: We use AI generated images only for character portraits and background locations. This is simply to avoid legal and privacy issues with real people's faces and real private properties.
However, everything else like the audio, voice acting, writing, coding, and graphic design/logos is 100% human made. We value real talent and are strictly looking for authentic human voice actors for this project.

Are you tired of staring at those nasty stains? Mud? Wine? Things you don't even want to identify?! [Yelling] THEN CALL CRAZY PETE'S CARPET CLEANING!
Voice Actor
Detailed Description Tone and Vibe:
You are the ultimate salesman. You sound warm, trustworthy, charismatic, and incredibly friendly. But you also have a very calm, bureaucratic side when dealing with paperwork.
--- Note: There is a high chance for additional voice lines in the future as the project expands. We will negotiate additional pay for those future sessions! For now, we are casting the core voice for the upcoming scenes.
Audition Line 1 (The Salesman): Direction: Use a warm, trustworthy, charismatic, and incredibly friendly tone. You are leaving a voicemail and want to sound like the perfect, helpful agent.
Audition Line 2 (The Bureaucratic Vibe): Direction: Calm, friendly, but strictly business. You are talking to a local official and playing the "helpful citizen" doing a favor, while hiding your true intentions.

Hi there, Mrs. Henderson! This is your local real estate agent calling. I hope you and the family are having a wonderful Tuesday. I'm just calling to give you the fantastic news: The seller accepted your offer on the property! I'll have the paperwork ready for you to sign at my office tomorrow morning. Bye-bye!
Ah, I'm sorry to hear that old car is causing you trouble on the lot. Tell you what, my contractors are heading over to that area anyway to fix some pipes. I'll have them tow the car to the scrapyard for you. Just doing my part to keep the neighborhood clean.
Voice Actor
Detailed Description Tone and Vibe:
You are an exhausted, annoyed, slightly lazy local detective in the 90s who just hates doing paperwork. You are having a totally normal, boring conversation at the office.
--- Note: There is a high chance for additional voice lines in the future as the project expands. We will negotiate additional pay for those future sessions! For now, we are casting the core voice for the upcoming scenes.
Audition Line 1 (The Apple Eater): Direction: IMPORTANT: You are eating a real apple during this recording. Chew with your mouth full, smack your lips a bit, take pauses while speaking to swallow. Sound annoyed and tired.
Audition Line 2 (The Lazy Detective): Direction: Heavy sighing. You are annoyed. Your shift is over and you just want to go home without doing more work.

(Loud, juicy crunch of an apple. Chewing) Yeah, I got the report right here. Some kid joyriding in a 93 Civic. (Swallows) Pisses me off. Now I gotta file an abandoned vehicle report. More paperwork. (Takes another loud bite of the apple)
(Sighs heavily) Listen, my shift ended twenty minutes ago. Just close file 8190 as a voluntary relocation. Less paperwork for everyone. Make sure the south lot is locked up tight, and let the morning crew handle the rest.
