BOTN - A Skyrim Creation
Project Overview
Hello! Welcome to the BOTN casting call. I'm really pleased you're interested in the project! Please have a read of all the information here and about each character you wish to audition for as it'll help you greatly!
I'm Oscar, mod author for various games including Skyrim. My other work can be found here: https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/TheOscar0/mods
This project is an large quest mod for Skyrim, adding new quests and characters to the game. There are many roles that need filling, so please feel free to audition for more than one role!
This is a paid project. Specific details of this are as follows:
Payment is made at a rate of $1 USD per line. Line count is detailed for each role. This is subject to slight changes, but the rate of $1 per line is consistent.
Payment will be made via PayPal to the voice actor after the first pay out following release (1 to 2 months following release).
This is a flat rate and will not change unless specified.
Regardless of expected work amount time, we reserve the right to request re-recordings.
If you are unable to meet expectations, we reserve the right to reject your work and recast the role, resulting in you not receiving payment.
Failure to meet the set deadline may result in deductions from the flat rate.
By auditioning and accepting the role, you agree to the above terms.
I ask that all auditions have great quality audio. If the audition is not of high quality, it will not be considered.
A few things to note if your audition is successful:
I'm keen to make things as easy as they can be for both of us! Your script will be in a PDF format, and will number each individual line (along with additional information about that line - circumstances, emotion, lines that have come before, etc). I ask that all lines are sent over as separate tracks and are numbered in correlation with the line number on the script.
I prefer to work over email, so if you are successful, I'll send you over my email so that we can get started!
I'll be looking at a deadline of the middle of December 2024. I'll confirm this again when you are cast, so if there are any problems with this, please let me know then.
With all that said, good luck and I look forward to hearing your auditions!

Falksten is an ex-bounty hunter who now provides bounties rather than completes them himself. A self proclaimed "middle-man", he has many contacts and clients that come to him when a particular job needs doing. He is friendly enough to the hunters that work for him, but he doesn't spend too much time getting to know them considering the dangerous line of work.

I'm Falksten. I'm a bounty hunter. Well, I was. I tend to give the bounties these days rather than complete them myself.
Won't lie, there's a lot of lunatics out there that need putting down. You want some nutters dealt with, you come to me.

You shouldn't be here. Sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong. It seems a woman can't even practice her craft without suffering interruptions.

Honesty is important, so I'd like to tell you that we're reaching the end of the road here. It's taken an awful lot of my power to keep this up.
