Trooper Down 3: Character Voice Auditions
Zachary Waltman for General Vanguard
General Vanguard is the commanding officer in charge of pretty much every in-game operation. In almost every mission he'll have a handful of voice lines radioing in new orders or other inputs. The General has your typical deep voice for high ranking military characters. He'll never be in combat, so he'll almost never raise his voice (with one possible acceptation)
During the course of the game, he'll start to sound more and more stressed.
The general has a very important role in the storytelling of this game, as he'll both be loved and despised by the players. For one, he is in charge of everything, so he sees part of the bigger picture that you don't see. He should also come off as a competent leader at first. However on the flip side, he and Zach get into an argument during the very first cutscene. Zach warns him of the possibility everything the general asks is exactly what the enemy wants him to do. Zach tries to point out the arrogance he's been displaying over the last couple of weeks. The general disagrees with him and refuses to listen to any kind of warning. Be prepared for this kind of personality
If you plan to voice General Vanguard, you'll have a huge set of lines to record for the mission briefing scene. In this scene he basically goes over the entire operation and explains every single detail. If you are not good at recording many sentences all in one voice line without breaking character, its not suggested you take this role.
This character will not be in any sequel I have planned, but maybe just a brief cameo.

(informative and explanatory) "Let's take things back to where this all began. One of our recon drones detected an unmarked structure around 10 cliques north of here. We would've let it pass over our heads but then we noticed something strange. The structure wasn't Alien, or Human built"
(angry but soft and not yelling but slowly starting to) "You’re a soldier now. You don’t make the orders, you follow them, and right now? your order is to get out of my office, and on with the mission."
(informative and explanatory) "Always good to hear. We have an update on the Escort mission. Squad X has secured the structure, but the people up there have some High Value Cargo, you must not allow a single transport to get shot down, understood?"
