What is Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain?
From the Wikia (https://legacyofkain.fandom.com/wiki/Blood_Omen:_Legacy_of_Kain )
"Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain is a top-down action-adventure video game with role-playing game elements. It is the first game in the Legacy of Kain series, and the only one developed by Silicon Knights and published by Crystal Dynamics. The game was first released in 1996 for the PlayStation, and later ported to Microsoft Windows. It was followed by four sequels, which were all developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Eidos Interactive."
"Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain introduces the fictional setting of Nosgoth. In the game, the player takes the role of Kain, a human nobleman, who is murdered and given the chance to exact revenge on his assassins by becoming a vampire. He travels Nosgoth, slaughtering the corrupt sorcerers of the Circle of Nine in hopes of discovering a cure for his vampirism, but gradually begins to view his transformation as a blessing over the course of the story."

Game Voices Samples
Most if not all of the voices needed for this project are found in the one video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kDzqScUs-E
This video will be used as a small reference as to what I am looking for. I use be using time stamps of this video for each of the roles needed.
You don't need to copy the voices 100%. The old voices in the video are to be use as just a reference. The only exceptions are the roles of Kain and William. More info below.
Some of the reference's sound more English and less North American. Im not to attached to keep the accents, just do what you think sounds good!
REQUIREMENTS
1. You MUST have a clear and decent microphone. Clear Audio. No scratchy mic sounds, no feedback mic sounds and no background noise, fans, or wind blowing into the mic
2. You must have a Discord so you can join the server and upload your works there. If you don't have a Discord, its free to sign up and download. I expect you to be active on the Discord server as much as possible.
3. Be 100% commented to the project. Roles like Kain have a tremendous amount of dialog. If you sign up, I expect you to stick to it till the end.
4. Be nice, respectable, and trustworthy with other staff on the project. We need good team members that get along with each other. No meany head or bullies.
5. Have fun with being part of something big!
Other Help besides Voice Acting
I cover most of this in my reddit post here (https://www.reddit.com/r/LegacyOfKain/comments/fhlfz4/working_on_a_blood_omen_remake_in_dreams_for_ps4/ )

The main character of the whole game. Lots and lots and LOTS of Dialog. He speaks throughout the whole game. I recommend you watch a good chunk of the youtube video to get a good feel for this role.
You need be willing to record a lot for this role!
Please watch THIS youtube video at its entirety before submitting an addition.

Please do a voice more close to the Soul Soul Reaver 2 Kain
Vae Victus - suffering to the conquered. Ironic that now I was the one suffering. Not anything as pedestrian as physical pain. Rather the cruel jab of impotent anger - the hunger for revenge.
I didn’t care if I was in Heaven or Hell - all I wanted was to kill my assassins."Thirty years hence, I am presented with a dilemma – let’s call it a two-sided coin. If the coin falls one way, I sacrifice myself and thus restore the Pillars. But as the last surviving vampire in Nosgoth, this would mean the annihilation of our species. Moebius made sure of that. If the coin lands on the reverse, I refuse the sacrifice and thus doom the Pillars to an eternity of collapse. Either way, the game is rigged". "There’s a third option - a monumental secret, hidden in your very presence here. But it’s a secret you have to discover for yourself." "Apparently so. But suppose you throw a coin enough times..suppose one day, it lands on its edge."
"What, no mug of ale for a weary traveler from distant Coorhagen? I can reward you well, for I am of noble blood. " "And so I left - cold of heart and soul. Forced to the road, and the long, bitter night."

Mean beast and main bad guy of the whole game. Monster like voice
You thought yourself a king when in fact you were a pawn! You have served me well, Kain.
Indeed. Such narrow vision. Don’t you see? My silencing of Ariel, and its calculated repercussions, is but the first act in my theatre of Grand Guignol. Of which you are the tragic ”hero.”

Aside from Kain, the most important vampire in the game.
Call your dogs! They can feast on your corpses!
It’s not often I see one of our own, especially one as young and foolish as yourself. Nonetheless, drink. Drink deep and indulge your gift.
After slaughtering six of the sheep I defeated their pathetic little shepherd - Malek. Since then our kind has not bothered with the cattle, except to feed. And I suggest you do the same.

The ghost at the pillars and the guardian of the Balance Pillar
There is nothing left of me to fear, vampire. I am only a shadow of my former self . . . Ariel - the Balance of the Circle of Nine. Even so, I can provide the answers you seek.
There is no cure for death. Only release. You must destroy the sorcery that is now poisoning Nosgoth. Only then will you realize peace. The Nine of the Protectors of Hope were sworn to use their powers to preserve our world. Now these pillars have been corrupted by a traitor.

The guy who brings Kain back to life as a Vampire
For failing the Circle, Malek of the Sarafan, you are hereby damned! The pleasures of the flesh are no longer yours. You have but one purpose, damned one. You will serve us for eternity.
You will have the blood you hunger for . . .
‘Tis not over Kain. These fools were merely the instruments of your murder, not the cause. Look to their masters. Look to the Pillars, and gain way to the Fortress of the Mind . . .
You dare intrude upon my sanctuary? Can I not mourn in peace? Leave . . . leave and let my solitude be complete . . .
So, Malek, have you come to fail the Circle once more? Leave, paladin! I do not need your protection.
Come, Kain . . . come share my pain . . .

Righteous, strong, and mainly voice
I know you are here, demon. The stench of death clings to you.
My warriors are but shadows of my skill, child.
Do you hope to best me, Kain? Do not worry. Your challenge will not go unmet.
Your undeath does not make you immortal, vampire.
Come to slay the slayer of vampires, have you?
https://youtu.be/5kDzqScUs-E?t=2064
Wise, but kind of silly man
A nobleman? Seeking wisdom? Death has taught you well.
Answers indeed. I have them all if you have the questions.
And what are the questions for these answers?King Ottmar - the only hope to defeat the legions of the Nemesis.
King Ottmar paralyzed by his princess’ malaise.
King Ottmar the useless.
Pray good sir, what are the questions?

Not too suck on a direction here, so do something you think sounds good!
So, the scourge of the Circle has arrived . . .!
His magic is weak!
https://youtu.be/5kDzqScUs-E?t=3001
Not too suck on a direction here, so do something you think sounds good!
Fear him not, Bane - he is but a whelp; his soul is ours for the taking.
Burn! Wretched vampire! Burn!

Don’t be ridiculous! Malek! To our aid!
You betrayed us Mortanius! You had Kain killed and turned him into a monster! You set him upon us!
Failed our duties? Idiot! The Circle exists for us, we don’t exist for it! Our powers will save or damn Nosgoth at our whim! Stand with us, Mortanius, or die!

Leader of a bunch of demons, strong and leader type voice
Ah, what’s this? I had not even realized the blade and the raiment were here. You wear those trinkets well, Kain. But I do believe that they would look better on me.
Come to me my children! We shall ravage Nosgoth together!
So, little man, have they sent you to stop me?
My children shall rip you apart!
Come, my demons. Let us sup on vampire blood.

Found right at the start of the video, deep, old, and sinister.
There is a Magical operation of maximum importance; the Initiation of a New Aeon. When it becomes necessary to utter a Word, the whole Planet must be bathed in blood...
A birthday present. To celebrate her birthday I declared a contest. Whoever created the finest doll in the realm would be granted a royal favor. Hundreds of dolls were brought, but the winner was obvious. Elzevir, the Dollmaker, created a toy of such beauty that all were captivated by it. And all he would take in payment was a lock of her hair.
Soon after she became like this; a lifeless puppet. Whoever restores her to her former self shall have this kingdom!
My daughter . . . I fear I shall never hear her delicate laugh again . . .
So, Ottmar sent you to kill me, eh? I can smell him on you - Or is that the stench of the grave?
The soul is mine! I earned it! Ottmar GAVE it to me!
Farewell, my love…I was lucky to have made you…

NEEDS TO BE A YOUNG BOY KING! His voice was reckoned in later games.
Yes, these weapons you have provided will see to that. Pray tell, Moebius. What game do you play?
And the news you bring. A vampire sent to slay me. Where did you come upon such knowledge?
Perhaps, perhaps . . . Very well, then. You may leave me, now. But should I wish to speak with you . . .

A dark toned female voice, like a witch
The Blood of Ages flows so sweet. Come - drink from us.
Your strength has increased, for our blood enhances.

https://youtu.be/5kDzqScUs-E?t=892
A dark and untrustworthy whisper
Shed your blood for me, and these artifacts will be yours.
So - you come to the Spirit Forge for help, do you vampire? Trade you secrets for the blood of the dead, I will . .
The bastards in Steinchencröe shun me as Nosgoth shuns them! I know what it means to be an outsider, vampire. I fear you not, but remember this - there are others who will speak to you, so long as you know how to look.

Screaming, afraid, and calling for help
(whimpering) Malek!

(amidst bloodcurdling screams) Malek! Malek! (screams)

The guy who runs the tavern at the beginning of the game
The tavern’s closing - best be on your way, stranger.
I stay open for no man in these dark times. Things come with the night that no sane man would welcome.
That’s him!
End it - now!
What trickery is this?
There he is!
I thought we killed you, bastard!
We put you down once - we can do it again!
https://youtu.be/5kDzqScUs-E?t=3891
Just sound like your want in Kain's pants
The night can get very cold around here stranger. I can help you get through it.
The King sees no one! He is in mourning for the princess!
https://youtu.be/5kDzqScUs-E?t=4385
Lots of shouting, mob type voices
No!
It must!
https://youtu.be/5kDzqScUs-E?t=4645
Do something that you think sounds great!
We are free of this unholy scourge!
