Unit Down: An Indie Arcade Shooter Game
Project Overview
Thank you for your interest in being a part of Unit Down; A game coming to Steam in mid October!
-AUDITIONS CLOSED-
A huge thank you to everyone who participated! This was incredibly difficult. No, not because of time. But because narrowing all these to just a few was incredibly hard; There are so many talented individuals, you didn't make this easy! I wish I had more roles to fill, so I could pick even more, haha. I will still keep the page up just in case anything comes up.
To those who are joining the team, congrats! I am honored to have you all and I look forward to working with you all!

Thank you all again!
Unit Down is an indie, fast-paced arcade-styled shooter. The game follows the story of 4 self-proclaimed heroes as they fight the injustice of the "Earth Unit" - a collaborative government created by the people of Earth in an effort to keep their dying planet from becoming nothing but a memory.

More info on the job:
- Most characters will have an average of 15-30 lines depending on the role.
- I will be available for Discord calls if needed for 1-on-1 discussion.
- My budget is flexible: The Kickstarter was a light success and am willing to negotiate.
- The entire script is finished and in a near-finalized state.
- Voices are not in a standard script format; Most lines are triggered by random events in-game.
- There are 8 characters in total: 7 male, 1 female.
- The game will be available for purchase on Steam, so it will be considered a commercial product.
- I will not be able to pay extra royalties; The agreed price will be the price owed.
Don't let my professional demeanor fool you; I like to believe I am very easy to work with, so don't be afraid to message me or ask any questions. I look forward to hearing what you can do for Unit Down!

Slight delay.
At the time of writing the previous update, a lot has happened. Aside from personal things (such as my flight being delayed, being in another state for more days than expected, ect), I also noticed the amount of submissions had doubled! HOWEVER, I want everyone to know I still intend to listen to every submission, as promised (I've managed to get through half!); However, I will not be able to give individual responses to everyone as I originally hoped. I apologize for any disappointment this may cause. Due to the increase in submissions, I expect to cast the remainder by Wednesday the 31st. Shortlisting so far has been incredibly helpful, but narrowing it down from there has been quite a challenge: It's incredible to think there is this much talent out there! Thank you for your understanding and patience. :) -
Listening to all auditions today!
I will be going through every submission today. All submissions from 11:00pm Friday and before are qualified. I apologize for cutting the casting call so short: I feel it is important each and every entry gets an individualized response, and if we recieved too many responses, this would be too hard. To those that submitted , thank you so much. I'll be deciding voices by tomorrow, the 28th. I have sampled a few so far, and I must say; So much talant! Incredible submissions, it will be tough to pick! -
Auditions closed early.
-AUDITIONS CLOSED- Thank you everyone who has submitted! I will be reviewing what has been submitted so far, but it will definitely take me a fair amount of time to go through them all. There was a significantly higher number of auditions than I originally expected, but I assure you I will be viewing them all thoroughly. I will not ensure that auditions will reopen, but if I think there is potential for a better fit for any of the characters, I will consider. But I will be honest, the submissions I have seen so far have been outstanding, and I I am very confident that I will find the perfect fit for each one. Ya'll are incredibly talented and it's going to be incredibly hard for me to narrow it down from such great voices.
