*Deadline is subject to change and pictures coming soon*
This is a project for school. We are creating a videogame and two classes are going head-to-head to compete for the the most votes of the students. We would like to fully voice the game, but we do not know the extent of our programmers skill set (whether or not voicing the game will be possible, but will hopefully find out soon).
This game takes place in the fictional land of medieval Rendal. It is ruled by a corrupt, immortal king, who oversees the destinies of all who live within the kingdom. When anyone (and everyone) turns eighteen, they must draw thier destiny scroll from the Chalice of Fate. On the rare occasion that someone draws a blank scroll, they are banished, and are never to return again.
I won't go into too much detail, but we have put many hours (just came from an eight hour work-a-thon) into creating the characters and story for this game.
Since it is a school project, I obviously can't pay. All I can offer is that it will be another project under your belt, even if it ends up not being fully voiced (I am going to push as hard as I can for this).
Things to note:
-Please have a decent microphone, we want this to sound as professional as possible
-Audition for as many parts or as many times as you want. I'll listen to all of them.
-This will update as the project gets closer to fruition
-Have fun :)
Arus is a dynamic character and has the most lines. He is the main character. He goes through a "hero's journey" througout the game, and changes from an arrogant young man to a mature leader. He should sound young, but distinct.
Here is the official character description:
I pictured most of the characters with a British (or slight british) accent, but if you can't do one, audition anyway.
Arus: (breathing hard, he has just been saved. He his somewhat mystified) “Who are you?” Erithelia: (steps on the snake’s head and rips the arrow from it) “A thank you would suffice.” Arus: (irritated, proudly) “For what?” Erithelia: (flatly) “For saving your life.” (she is cleaning her arrow) Arus: (insistently) “I’m fine!” Erithelia: (begins walking away) “Thanks to me.” Arus: (stammers frustratedly) Erithelia: (she pauses) “Are you coming or not?” Arus: “Wha...what?” |
Arus: (a little nervously, but commanding) “I need an audience with the Council. Please, it is urgent. I have a message... from mouth of the head Elder himself.” |
(Arus has gone through his 'transformation' at this point. His voice is firm and strong, and he is unforgiving) Erolf: Well, the little whelp has a mouth on him. I assure you, boy, you do not have a chance against me. I have centuries of experience. I jest not--I have lived through more than you ever will. Arus (sure, strong): I have something stronger than mere experience. Erolf (snickering): “And what’s that?” Arus: (darkly) Revenge. Erolf (laughing): “A petty thing. Let me see what you can do." (Arus swings his sword at Erolf) |
She is another banished soul, and similarly to everyone else in the Exilands, she is hardened by the loss of her family, friends, and life. She is two years older than Arus and after living in the harsh Exileands, she is a warrior of sorts. She has a short fuse and often speaks her mind.

Arus: (breathing hard) “Who are you?” Erithelia: (steps on the snake’s head and rips the arrow from it, a grunt) “A thank you would suffice.” Arus: (irritated) “For what?” Erithelia: (flatly) “For saving your life.” (she is cleaning her arrow) Arus: “I’m fine!” Erithelia: (begins walking away) “Thanks to me.” Arus: (stammers in frustration) Erithelia: (she pauses, sighs in apparent irritation; she has no patience for him) “Are you coming or not?” Arus: “Wha...what?” |
Erithelia: (slightly rude) “That’s what I just said, didn't I? Or are you just genuinely dull? Though I doubt they’d banish you for that." |
Erithelia: (disgusted) “Ugh. Who raised you? Shaking your hand is like trying to hold a pile of worms. Doesn't make for a good first impression." |
He is the knight that is present at Arus's Coming of Age ceremony. Has a commanding voice.
Knight “An undetermined fate is punishable by eternal banishment by order of King Erolf. I, Sir Maddox, take it upon myself to escort you to the edge of the kingdom where you must fend for yourself for the rest of your days.” |
I wanted him to sound like Manu Bennett, buf if you can't do that, that's all right, just do what you can. I want his voice to be dark and low. I want it to be unique-sounding. That's not very specific, I know, but hit me with some creativity. Pretty much open to actor interpretation. Here's a link to a video of him talking in his normal voice.

Bravric: Where is she?! (he is shouting, he belives someone he loves is on the verge of death) |
Bravric: "Yes, of course. Nip this 'rebellion' at the bud. Yes, my lord." |
Bravic: “The Elders?! The Elders seldom leave the Kingdom, and one was at our gates?” |
Ophisius is an Elder on the Council of Elders and is centuries old, but being an entirely different species than human, he has the appearance of a man in his mid-twenties-to-thirties. He has magical and prophetic abilities. He has a very calm and wise voice.
I pictured most of the characters with a British (or slight british) accent, but if you can't do one, audition anyway.
Ophisius: (he approaches, wary) “I mean you no harm. I only wish to speak with Arus.” Arus: “Who are you? How do you know my name?” Ophisius: (stately) “My name is Ophisius.” Erithelia: “You mean… You’re an Elder. I am truly sorry for disrespecting you. I didn’t realize-” (Her eyes widen and she drops to her knees.) Ophisius: (commanding, rushed) “Stand. There is no reason for this. I must speak with you about a matter of the utmost importance. We need your help, Arus,” |
Ophisius: “Long ago, about five centuries, Crown Prince Erolf’s father died, leaving a seventeen year old Erolf as king. His father paid no attention to his people, only caring about how much money he could make and his selfish pleasures. He left Rendal in shambles, in a state of complete and utter chaos. When Erolf rose to power, he brought his people together and restored what his father had broken. |
You can try all of the lines I've put in here, or just one or two if you please. Feel free to do different voices as well.
Rebel Soldier 1: “We will be victorious, I know it!” Rebel Soldier 2: "Down with Erolf!" Rebel Soldier 3: "I just want to get back to my family." Rebel Soldier 4: (Fierce battle-cry) |
Villiager 1: (hushed tone, whispering in shock) His scroll is blank! Villiager 2: (hushed tone, whispering in shock) That boy has smeared his family name with dishonor! Villiager 3: Banish him! He has no place here! |
An evil and cunning king. I picture him with a gnarly, gravelly voicve, but seriously just try anything you think fits.

Erolf: (snickering, mockingly) Well, the little whelp has a mouth on him. I assure you, boy, you do not have a chance against me. I have centuries of experience. (seriously) I jest not--I have lived through more than you ever will. Arus: I have something stronger than mere experience. Erolf (snickering, humoring him): “And what’s that?” Arus: Revenge. Erolf (laughing): “A petty thing. Let me see what you can do." |
Erolf: (bemused) “This?! This is the boy they chose to lead the army? You are but a babe! (he laughs wickedly, he knows he will crush his opponent) |
