Warden of the Coast (Skyrim Mod)

Project Overview

Introduction:

Hey, folks! Warden of the Coast – Skyrim's first Bioware-style DLC-sized new lands mod – is now casting voice actors! The project boasts an extensive and complex quest tree, branching regularly and providing 5 main endings with 20+ sub-endings. Along with this, WotC offers seven potential romance quests and a regard/loyalty system rivaling (and exceeding) that of the Bioware titles this project draws its inspiration from.

Being a hobbyist project, I'll be unable to pay the voice actors, but I will do everything I can to help promote your profiles.

All roles are in English.


Plot summary:

“I am his servant, the Warden of his prison. I am not the first to have watched over this island, and I shall not be the last. But the final hour of my servitude has nearly elapsed, for the hand of prophecy has already guided my successor here. To embrace this calling is to fulfill your destiny. To oppose it...is to invoke the wrath of the Daedra. And when you fight the will of the divine, you cultivate your own destruction.”


The story follows the player's character as he or she finds themselves stranded on a volcanic island off the eastern coast of Tamriel. The Player must earn the loyalty of their nine companions, close shut the jaws of Oblivion, and find a way home all before the volcano at the center erupts.


Auditions and deadlines:

Auditions will remain open until the roles are filled. At the earliest, recordings will begin March 20th and lines will be sent out weekly until around May 21st, depending on how quickly roles are filled and the flexibility of the VAs who get them.


What to expect:

The project lead will reach out to you either via CCC or Discord as soon as you are cast to welcome you to the project. I am always incredibly excited to bring on a new Voice Actor :) Each script you receive will describe the mood of the character and the details of the scene. A pronunciation guide, format guide, and a schedule of when lines will become available will also be provided.


What I ask of you:    



  • First and foremost, have fun -- we take pride in bringing together talents in different mediums to create something truly phenomenal, but none of it means anything if the people involved aren't passionate about their craft.

       


  • Please submit clean recordings (no air conditioners in the background, no fans -- I don't mind performing noise reduction on your files, however too much clean-up reduces the quality of your voice.) We welcome volume correction to your lines if you have audio engineering experience since you know your voice and equipment best,     just let me know if you can do this :)

        


  • Feel free to cut your lines to your best/favorite takes. Three is the gold standard, but this is entirely up to you. Though please note:

        


  • I may ask you to re-record certain lines with some different directions.

        

  • You can provide the dialogue as one continuous raw track, cutting lines is of course not something I would ask of you.

Iriel

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Elli Reads

Iriel is one of the nine companions in the player's party. She was granted a powerful gift at birth that can effortlessly tip the scales of any skirmish into her favor, but she struggles with the responsibility such a gift carries in its wake. With the right mentor, she could develop powers equivalent to or even exceeding that of the Dragonborn. Looking for a female VA with a pleasant voice who can play the role of a determined apprentice well.


  • [In pain, seeking validation] I wanted to run, to cower away as the Reaping passed over me. But I couldn't...I couldn't let you face Dagon alone. Is- [coughing] is that what a hero would have done?


    Notes: Pronounced Day-gone. The Reaping is an event that occurs annually on the island this mod is set in.

  • [Concerned] You don't have to believe me, but will you not at least help? The danger our parents face is lethal. Without you, I fear they'll surely perish.

  • [Confident] This will only take a second. Anyone who doesn't want their eyebrows singed should get clear.

Bryyn

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Ruth Snow

Bryyn is one of the nine companions in the player's party. Preferring nature to people, she speaks her mind and has little regard for social etiquette. Bryyn may come across as blunt or insensitive, but it comes with growing up on an island where only the strong survive. Looking for a female VA with a strong voice who can play someone mad at the world particularly well.


As this character has a romance questline, those auditioning must be 18 or older.


  • [Describing the fates of those who attempt to escape the island] Disappeared. Missing. Poof. Evaporated. Gone. Umm, “faded from existence”. Stop me when I get to an expression you foreigners understand.

  • [Grateful] Trust me on this - The world is not overflowing with people worth fighting for, but you're one of them.

  • [Indifferent] Welcome to the island, I guess. Try not to die.

Looking for a male VA with a friendly voice who can pull off both lighthearted banter and tragedy.


As this character has a romance questline, those auditioning must be 18 or older.


  • [Uncomfortable] I'd...rather not say, if you don't mind. There are plenty of other things to talk about.

  • [Frustrated, as if arguing with someone who refuses to see your point] I mean this island doesn't exist, it's not on the map. There's nothing but open waters for 500 miles.

  • [Grateful] Victory or defeat, survival or death - I'm with you to the end. If that means taking an arrow for my friends, so be it. Men have died for less.

Jade

Role assigned to: Scream Squeen Creative

Jade is one of the nine companions in the player's party. Joining the Dark Brotherhood (the primary guild of assassins in the game) at an early age, Jade adopted a sarcastic, mysterious, and yet incredibly charming persona. Despite being highly talented in her line of work, Jade is not a heartless killer. And that glimmer of humanity often puts her at odds with the guild she owes everything to. Looking for a female VA with a stern voice who can play a sympathetic yet outwardly heartless assassin.


As this character has a romance questline, those auditioning must be 18 or older.


  • [Unimpressed] Well, well. You must be this “Dovahkiin” everyone's so infatuated with.  You don't look like much to me.

    Notes – Pronounced Doe-vuh-keen

  • [Unimpressed] Maybe not, but an assassin can use underestimation to her advantage. A legend, on the other hand, is nothing without a credible reputation.

  • [Vulnerable/frustrated] Don't!...Look at me like that. [Hopeless] I'm sorry. I won't make it outside the family.

Looking for a male VA with an even-toned and strong voice who can play the role of a noble knight well.


As this character has a romance questline, those auditioning must be 18 or older.

Role assigned to: Hanako Watanabe

Tia is one of the nine companions in the player's party. She's energetic, optimistic, and always looking for material to fill her current novel.

As this character has a romance questline, those auditioning must be 18 or older.

  • [Taunting an enemy] Hey! Over here, you overgrown scamps!

Role assigned to: DavieDaveMan

Zavok is one of the nine companions in the player's party. Being a Daedra (demon), he loves to cause chaos and destruction everywhere he goes, but can only kill those his Master (The Player) permits.

As this character is meant to imitate the voice style of characters already present in The Elder Scrolls, post-processing effects will be added to your voice. (Such as reverbs and pitch adjustments.)

  • [Eager] Draw your blade, mortal! I wish to test your alleged merit for myself. One-on-one. No help from your pets.

Looking for a middle-aged male VA who can play the role of a tired and broken man who's spent a lifetime picking between the lesser of two evils.


  • [Casual] When you cheat destiny it will exact its vengeance, relentlessly and without mercy. You would pay a heavy price if following in her footsteps.
