"Maggot-Gear"
Project Overview
This is a casting call for a bleak, darkly comedic art-house game.\
All role names and images are placeholders
I am looking primarily for voices to jumble up and use as babbles, conveying tone and character but no actual content.
All roles have parts in English, but many roles also require segments of German. Required German fluency will be noted on each individual role.
All audio is likely to be highly compressed and distorted, so mic quality isn't of high importance, but I would like a minimum of mid-range quality in case this changes.
Every role, including leads, will only require a few lines at most. Because of this, each role has a flat rate of $10-$20 USD. (Any auditions sent will NOT be used without proper compensation).
I cannot guarantee that this project will come to fruition in the form of a video game; it may end up as a short film, a visual novel, or something else as I refine the scope.
You will be credited.
Who am I?
I am an independent fine artist who is interested in using video games as a medium for creating highbrow art. I have prior experience in animation, film-making, and software creation.
