Lead Voice Actors Needed for Indie Mars Narrative Game (Male & Female Roles)
Richard Gibson for Harper Wells (Male Lead)
We’re casting a grounded, emotionally resonant male voice for the lead role in our narrative-driven sci-fi game. Think Firewatch’s Henry meets The Martian—wry, vulnerable, and quietly resilient.
You’ll be voicing a lone engineer stranded on Mars, navigating both survival and personal reckoning. The role is conversational and naturalistic—no big hero voices, no overacting. Just a man trying to hold it together when no one’s watching.
Voice Type: Mid-to-late 30s to mid-40s, baritone
Accent: American, natural and grounded
Voice Comparison (for tone): Rich Sommer, Firewatch
Vocal Tone & Qualities:
Conversational and understated — never overacted
Wry, dry humor — often uses sarcasm or deflection
Emotionally layered — a man carrying quiet grief beneath the surface
Naturalistic delivery — sounds like someone talking to a real person, not “performing”

Really? Damn it… well, ok let me get down there and check it out. We need to get ahold of Alpha Base to let them know where we are.
This is… Harper Wells. Red Horizon. I—I’m the only one aboard.
