Voice Acting Needed for Team Fortress 2 Video Project! (Comedic Parody of TF2 Freak Culture)

Project Overview

What is This Project?

This project aims to be a celebration of the massive culture surrounding the video game Team Fortress 2, released in 2007. A video game that has had a tangible impact on the internet as a whole, with videos, images and memes that range from comedic to dramatic. And I would like to celebrate that with a video series that aims to touch on every individual element that makes the culture around it amazing. The fine details of the series at large are being kept a secret. But stay tuned, as this project will require many voice actors. 

Requirements for Auditioning Voice Actors:

I am currently looking for voice actors of 18+ years of age, with at least a Blue Yeti microphone, some experience in voice acting and the ability to do basic audio clean-up. Additionally, as this is intended to be a long-term episodic series, please be ready to be contacted again for additional work as the series unfolds.

Instructions for Auditioning Voice Actors:

There are two ways of contacting me, if you're interested in the roles provided, contact me through: [redacted] for my email, or through Discord @Payton Tate#2372. For any lines recorded, please do at least two different takes, going along the general scene direction.

In terms of payment, please have your rates ready if you are accepted, I will gladly accommodate your prices within reason.

If you're casted for a role, but you fall quiet with no prior-warning and no alternate method of contact for two weeks, your role will be re-opened and given to someone else.

Please do not be discouraged if you are declined! 

If you'd like to keep up with this project, and any other videos released alongside it, visit my Main + Alternate YouTube channels, respectively: Payton Tate + Payton Tate's Secondary Channel.

Meat Surprise

Role assigned to: Spazzguy

Meat Surprise is a giant, ageless, slug-man made out of meat, speaking with a thick Bostonian accent that compliments his care-free lifestyle. Speaking with a crackly, radio-like voice that is often accompanied by a sardonic, or even downright sinister tone. Usually making quips and sarcastic comments at the expense of the people he's talking to. But beneath all of that, he has an air of knowing much more than he lets on, withholding information for his own amusement.


For the first line: After jumping out to intentionally startle the protagonist, BP. Meat Surprise casually reassures him that he's not interested in harming the giant, and instead begins to speak about his prior encounter with a large, destructive, one-eyed monster. Speaking with an observing tone, curious about BP's reaction to his taunts.

For the second line: Meat Surprise stops BP from walking away, slithering up in front of him in a flash, preventing him from going off on his own, while also casually jabbing him for losing his arm, and the previous fight. He speaks bluntly, and without any form of concern.

For the third line: Meat Surprise has just told everything he cares to about the main character's cycloptic assailant, and is directing him toward a gathering of individuals much like him, in order to sort out the mess that he's created. While also mentioning his own plans to speak with the destructive monster. With a tone of morbid curiosity, rather than bravery or fear.

  • "Relax, I ain't gonna hurt ya... I actually saw that scrap ya' had with the cyclops."

  • "Now, now now. Just a second, I can tell you right now that you're not going to get far on your own... If that wasn't already obvious."

  • "They're all gatherin' up here, I believe the guy in charge would be honored if you could join them. He should be able to help you figure this mess out. Me, personally..? I'm going to speak to our depth-challenged friend... I admit that I'm pretty curious about him, myself... I'll be seeing you, bone-man."

Role assigned to: AliMackScot

Chinu-Chinu is built up as a powerful, dark lord of blood and evil, but actually resembles an over-stressed, agitated boss/mayor who's constantly having his work and his progress set back by matters outside of his control. Prone to massive temper-tantrums and freakouts, he's stuck dealing with a booming population in his own hell-dimension, and wants Earth for real-estate. Needing his right-hand man to acquire the 5 shards of his being to summon him to Earth. Ideally the best way to play him is not to speak as a dark lord, but rather as an extremely frustrated middle-aged man.


For the first line: Being summoned in a spectral form by his right-hand man, the camera pans up behind him to show the lord being given form, though he's been summoned in the middle of a phone-call, and it's one that isn't going well. He's constantly being cut off by the person on the other line, and it's clear that the call's been going on for about an hour. Though he realizes he's gotten another call, and informs the person on the other line, turning around, exploding in frustration, only to realize who he's shouting at. Taking a breath, realizing that he might actually hear something good, for once. Literally begging for any kind of good news.

For the second line: Chinu-Chinu has settled down, hearing that one of the 5 artifacts have been claimed, and that one of the monsters that could prevent him from being re-summoned has been killed. Though he realizes that his right-hand man said that he's probably died "by now", and CC quickly becomes wary of his ally's phrasing.

For the third line: Chinu-Chinu realizes that the biggest threat to his operation might still be alive and explodes in frustration at his partner's calm demeanor toward the potential jeopardizing of their entire mission. But he quickly composes himself, realizing that they've at least made some progress toward world domination.

  • "Look- I get that you need m- well these things take time, and..! No, I don't see how that has anything to do with it. Wait. Hang on I've got another call- WHAT?! I'M VERY BUSY RIGHT NOW- Oh, oh thank god it's you. /Please/ tell me you've got good news."

  • "Hahaha yeah- wait. W-w-w-wait wait wait... What do you mean, 'by now'"

  • "THAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE- No- it's fine. It's fine. *Deep nasal inhale* I can deal, I can maintain... Look. Listen. Just focus on gathering up the pieces, ok?"

The Professor

Role assigned to: bbvoiceovers

The professor is an old man who's left without a name, and is only identified by his title, the professor. He's somewhat clumsy and bumbling, often falling minutes behind on whatever discoveries he's found, and is seen as somewhat of a hack in the scientific community, and he's attempted to gather up as many monsters as he can to prevent the oncoming demon invasion. Only having a minor role in this episode, (two lines), he'll evolve into having a major role in the next.


For the first line: The professor, after having worked himself up to come onto stage, steps out to address the loud, talkative crowd in the large conference hall. 

For the second line: This second line is a continuation of the previous statement, after all of the monsters before him have settled down and turned their attention toward him. Addressing the well-known reason they are all present in that room, and about to lay in to what he believes they all must do to save themselves in the coming months.

  • "Alright, alright everyone, settle down..."

  • "Now... We all know why we're here, and what we need to do."
