Douglas; The most un-immersive lore expert this side of the Nexus (Skyrim Follower Mod)
Tyroul for Douglas
The man, the myth, and the legend himself. Douglas is going to be a very difficult character to voice. Not just because of the gargantuan amount of lines he's going to have, but also his personality. Douglas is in a lot of ways simply an extension of myself, and I fear that with outsourcing the role to someone else, I might lose a lot of the character. Plus if you're not familiar with TES, certain pronunciations might be botched, and other jokes may not land when said in the wrong way. It might seem a bit hyperbolic, but that's just how I feel. But I guess if you want to prove me wrong, go ahead.
Note that is someone is super serious about this role, and fits it well, I will definitely try to scrounge up what I can for your troubles. Would most likely be around 400-500$ I would assume. I know that said price is outrageously low, but that's probably going to be around all I can give. Losing that much would hurt me a lot, which is why I'm not offering it as an enticing upfront, and am completely fine with having to voice him myself. Consider the role as unpaid when applying though, and we can talk finances afterwards.
Douglas is a Khajiit, but doesn't act or sound like one at all. As mentioned, Douglas is an extension of myself and the community, so he really should just sound like a normal dude. Would prefer a young adult voice, but I suppose it doesn't really matter as long as you can nail the tone. Douglas is the only character in this mod that doesn't have a prime version, due to the mod author being the character himself. It should be as natural as possible, like a friend joking to another at a bar.
I'll have you know that I'm actually an esteemed lore professeur, thank you very much. Well, if you count online forum diplomas that is. Look, the point is, is that you already downloaded this crap, so I already did something right. And since I highly doubt you just downloaded this to mock me you-... Well, actually now that I think about it, that is entirely something that someone would do. That's kind of sad, actually....
You know the ancient dwarves actually believed that the Gods sh-.. Ah, I dicked it. Let me try that again. What? What do you mean it's already in the mod-.... Oh. uh... just ignore this one....
Here's a fun one, did you know Khajiit actually have barbed penises? Really though, someone woke up one morning and decided that spiked mace dicks were going to be a part of the cannon. I like to think I have more of a morning star though, y'know? Heh....
Hey Tyroul, thank you for the audition. Unfortunately, I’ve decided to cast someone else for the role you applied for. I think you have a very intriguing accent, and will no doubt make some castor looking for a fine british lad very happy. The accent wasn’t what I was looking for however… That being said, while you may have not made the cut, I’m quite sure that this won’t be my final elder scrolls mod by a long shot. I’ve already got several more ideas for mods I want to make will last me far into Skyrim’s lifespan and the upcoming TeS 6. I’m sure that someday soon I’ll have many more roles to cast, and I’d love to work with you on voicing them. I thank you for supporting skyrim modding, and I hope to see you again on future projects. Fear not my ambitious friend, this is far from the end….
I am thankful for the chance to audition for this role and cannot wait to see the finished companion and look forward to hopefully working with you on future projects!
