![[CLOSED] Voice Actor and Actress for Halo Machinima: Sandguardians](https://d1m9vqlvl3fy94.cloudfront.net/project/attachment/215247/thumb_551922Season4poster.png)
INTRODUCTION / PROJECT OVERVIEW
Hello! My name is Intro-Mind, a content creator who posts videos on my YouTube channel. I'm currently in need of both a voice actor and actress for my ongoing Halo machinima series, "Sandguardians".
The series is a coming of age story, greatly inspired by "Red vs. Blue" (of course) but it isn't a cloned copy. Power Rangers, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings also act as inspirations in addition to RvB, containing lots of sci-fi action, comedy, and drama.
You can view the series on my YouTube channel or read more about it on its own Fandom site. Right now the series has 3 seasons, spanning over 50 episodes, and I'm currently producing Season 4 which will have 15 episodes (10 episodes are currently released). Episode lengths range from 8-10 minutes. Scripts have been written for each episode.
CHARACTER OVERVIEWS
These two antagonists, Lieutenants Savannah Williams & Beau Varrick, are supporting characters in the series who make their debut this season. They are the two partners-in-crime to their commanding officer, Major Johnson, a prideful individual who does things by the book.
Lt. Williams is headstrong and a little cocky. She enjoys shooting the shit with her friends and spilling a bit of gossip but she's passionate about what she does and values hard work. Although she can have a big mouth, she backs it up. However, she can get so cocky and in the moment that she can't always see when she's being manipulated.
Lt. Varrick is confident but naive. He lives to work and takes his work very seriously, so much so that he lacks much of a social life. Being more introverted, Varrick can be hard on himself when he makes a mistake and values heroism. He will put himself in harm's way for another because that's what a soldier does. Unfortunately, because of his blind loyalty, he can be easily manipulated.
AUDITION LINES
Please read both audition lines and send in your auditions in either .mp3 or .wav format on here.
DEADLINE
The deadline to send in auditions will be February 5, 2023.
FINAL NOTES
This project has always been a passion project of mine and is unpaid. I don't want to waste anyone's time, so if this affects your decision to audition I completely understand. I'm very lenient on things and never want to spam actors for lines or micromanage, due to all of us having our own responsibilities. We've all got stuff going on and I don't want to bog anyone down with this. I'm still fairly new to this site, having migrated from VoiceActingAlliance back in the day haha, but it is extremely user-friendly and has great talent!
Again, please send in your auditions in either .mp3 or .wav format by the deadline, February 5, 2023. I'm excited to hear them!
Best,
Intro-Mind
Hello all,
Thank you so much for auditioning! After some very tough decision-making, going through auditions from here and VoiceActingClub, I have casted both roles.
Thank you all again and I wish everyone the best in their future endeavors. Best!
Lieutenant Savannah Williams is a headstrong and cocky woman who isn't afraid to challenge others or get in someone's face. Having come from a rough upbringing her motto is: if you want something you need to work hard for it, no one's gonna hand it to you. She aspires to prove herself and is generally respectful towards authority figures but will question them if their methods don't align with her morals.
"Remember that big ambush a month back? By those rebels? They killed two of our guys and got me in the knee. I thought to myself, '…This is it. This is the end for me.' But then, from out of nowhere, you dragged me to cover. Protected me until reinforcements arrived. …Like you cared. I—I mean, not just about me but about all of us. That's what I've always admired about you. I… I just wanted to say thank you for that, sir."
"Oh no, sit your ass down. (chuckles) We are not doing that punctuality shit today. And don't give me that, 'I have to get up early for work tomorrow'. We'll be doing the same exact shit we do everyday. So take a seat, have another drink, on me, and let wifey worry for a little bit."
Lieutenant Beau Varrick is a naive and disciplined man who can be too hard on himself. Varrick values hard work and hates letting others down. He is constantly striving to do good. Because of this, Varrick struggles with self-doubt, self-worth, and is, at times, naive to when he is being manipulated. Despite this, Varrick is compassionate and refuses to hurt those who don't deserve it.
"We got him, sir. Two years of surveillance and we finally got the son of a bitch! You should've seen his face when we barged in; nearly pissed himself! (chuckles then clears his throat) Technically speaking, sir. But the operation went off without a hitch, just like you planned. Oh, almost forgot. Kept the cuffs handy just for you. Care to do the honors?"
"You can't actually be asking me to do that… Not you, sir. I'll lose my badge. A leader would never ask his men to do anything that he wouldn't do himself. You taught me that. But this… this isn't you. What you're asking... I… I can't… there has to be another way."
