Iron Lung Video Essay - Voice Actors Needed
radio_russell for Narrator
You will be a dramatic narrator of the prologue and epilogue text scrolls. Your voice should be dramatic, and have real presence to it, but be very restrained and quiet; you’re telling the melancholic story of the death of a universe, not narrating a YouTube video. Really make sure you don’t overdo it to the point of tonal whiplash. You will be introducing and closing the video.
Above all, please remember that although this is a science fiction story, it is not an adventurous one; it is one of cosmic horror.
Any accent is acceptable. Do what you feel fits best.
Decades ago, every known star and habitable planet vanished, leaving only those who were on space stations and star ships. This event became known as The Quiet Rapture.
With supplies dwindling and infrastructure crumbling, survivors are searching for any trace of natural resources in a universe of barren moons, lit by the ghostlight of vanished stars.
One such moon holds a strange anomaly: an ocean of blood. You are a convict, tasked with exploring this anomaly, in a makeshift submarine nicknamed The Iron Lung. It was not designed for this depth, so you will be welded inside and the forward window will be closed. There was no time for training. If successful, you earn your freedom.
