FOR THOSE AUDITIONING FOR MAITREYA
Hello everyone! We've been thrilled to hear everyone's auditions, and to receive almost 50 in under 24 hours was excellent news as well!
Listening to all these auditions has made us a bit more aware of what we're looking for, specifically with Maitreya right now. It has come to our attention that we'd like to edit some kind of filter over their voice. The character of Maitreya is meant to be a covert hacker anarchist who probably wouldn't just let their voice be unaltered. Because of this in the finished product there will be a light filter on it. Either to make them sound a bit robotic or almost auto-tuned, but not heavily enough it will be obscuring the voice talents.
Because of this change in direction we will be adding to the character bio that auditionees are allowed to submit versions with some sort of hacker or computer layer on top of it. If you have already submitted an audition and would like to do this as well, feel free to delete and resubmit! Though we're looking at the voice work first and the editing second, I won't deny the team is going to be impressed by having a proof of concept, so it will likely boost your chances if you're able to submit like this.
Anyways, we'll be sure to share more news as we have it. Thank you everyone!
