[CLOSED] The Misfits (Paid roles) ($150) ($50)
Project Overview
What is Brave New World?
Three years in the making and near release, this 3-year project gathers the work of professional actors throughout the world to revoice Fallout: New Vegas.
Many of Fallout: New Vegas's characters were memorable and well-acted. Players such as Legate Lanius, Caesar, Raul Tejada, Boone, Cass, Mister Vegas, Dog and God, Chief Hanlon, Mister House, Cristina Morales, The Narrator, Veronica and all characters voiced by Laura Bailey, etc.
However, due to time constraints, a large amount of characters in Fallout: New Vegas were voiced by the same person.
As a point of reference, Yuri Lowenthal voiced Ringo, Oliver Swanick, Henry Jamison, Nolan Mcnamara, Lucius, Lars Taggart, Fitz, Keller, Scribe Ibsen, Knight Lorenzo, Ike, Antony, Otho, Alexus and Sergio.
Brave New World now features improved casting , improved variety (each character is now only voiced by one voice actor) and improved acting (each actor now shows the correct emotions for each situation) adding new life to Fallout: New Vegas.
Payment
Immediately when your audition is cast and BEFORE the script is sent to you. Easy for you. Easy for me. I don't think it's fair to just pay actors only in "exposure" and while I can't pay GVAA rates, I pay immediately and have paid fairly for all actors who have joined the project.
If you are more comfortable being paid after submitting the lines, we can do that as well. It's just that I personally prefer to send the payment right away.
REQUIREMENTS:
An XLR microphone would be ideal. A CAD E100s (bonus points), AT2020 with XLR, Neumann TLM 103, Sennheiser MK416 etc. I will accept a Blue Yeti only if the acting is done in a closet or a treated area with acoustic panel. Any form of reverb and I will pass on the audition.
When you are logged in, you can comment, add submissions, create projects, upvote, search open roles, and way more. Login here.

Mags as abigailturner Private Stone as Stephen_Lester Overall, it was a really, really tough call between Ssalek and abigailturner. The team loved Ssalek's voice and acting but also was enthralled by abigailturner. After a vote by the entire Fallout: New Vegas community, we felt that both actresses demonstrated excellent acting. In the end, we decided to go with abigailturner but both actresses did an amazing job. For the role of Private Stone, the team felt that Stephen_Lester really captured the personality of Stone's predicament. But there were fantastic auditions from all actors throughout and everyone did fantastic!

New male role added. Private Stone. (Drug addicted soldier)
Deadline is 11:59 PM (Pacific time) on Monday September 17th
=================================================================
Age: 24 to 32
Tone: Ideal would be Medium, Medium-high. Shouldn't sound like a teeny bopper.
Accent: North American (preferred) but open to Southern accent. Can't take any European accent whatsoever.
Personality:
Young soldier. Talented and effective but she tends to blame others for her flaws. She always wanted to be a Ranger but has failed every time. She blames it on the rest of her squadmates. Arrogant. She knows she’s good but she tends to overestimate her abilities. Her flaw is that she's not a team player and she doesn't acknowledge when she's wrong. She's not a mean, ill-spirited person. A soldier in a group of lesser-ranked soldiers and she lets that get to her head.
Race: Caucasian.
Appearance:
Beautiful. In her late 20s. Blonde hair. Blue eyes. Military gear.
Deadline is 11:59 PM (Pacific time) on Monday September 17th
=================================================================
**Please save a copy of the .wav file as auditions quite often have lines which come out better than final takes.
(Sorry for the long audition. Mags has a lot of different emotions, everything from anger, sarcasm, soldier, authoritative, sadness, happiness, war and battle, etc. The new actress has to beat April Stewart (the original actress) in EVERY single way.
(Military tone) (slight scorn in her words)
Easy - This is where they send all the fuck-ups and people they don't want. But hey, it's not like I'm bitter or anything.
(insulted) (angry)
Yeah, right……..(muttering under her words)……Bitch.
(grateful)(soldier)
After the help you gave us with the shooting range, we'll take any advice you've got. I'll line em’ up.
(Soldier tone) (during a firefight) (ready to kill) (shouting orders) (lower gain on this to prevent blowing out the mic when shouting..and then amplify it)(Think...Gordon Ramsay yelling at a cook)
I've got the one at 11 o'clock!!!!!! Razz, O'Hanrahan, take the two on the right!!!!! Poindexter, the center!!!!!(Irritated) (Annoyed) (surprised)
What the hell happened with these readiness reports?(sad) (disappointed)
I guess I wanted to make something of myself, you know? Be the best of the best. I *wanted* to be a ranger, but... guess this is as close as I get.(Sarcastic)(Someone asks why she never got promoted)
Gee, I dunno, maybe because I'm saddled with the worst damn unit in the NCR Army? Think that might have something to do with it?(worried)
I've got a friend stationed at McCarran - I heard something about a monorail explosion there. I hope he's okay.
(Said as a narration)
Mags was finally promoted to Sergeant, and the rest of the Misfits received an official commendation.

Summary:
The character is African American, 40 years old. Farmer. Merchant.
Just use your natural speaking voice. You shouldn't have to do an impression. It should be your natural voice.
Race: African-American
(Merchant showing his store)
If you're looking to buy or sell, you've come to the right man. The Crimson Caravan Company has the widest selection in the wasteland.
(Making a deal)
Here you go. Let him know he needs to make another payment if he wants more of this stuff.
(Surprised)
Really? Huh, never thought of that. The Crimson Caravan isn't really in the drug business.
(Business deal)
Excellent. We should be able to get the shipments started in about a week
(Where does the Crimson Caravan Company get its merchandise?)
Trade routes, my friend, trade routes. Just about every major town in the wasteland has a Crimson Caravan branch in it.
Accent: North American or Southern accent. Southern accent preferred. Any other accent will not match this character.
Tone: Baritone or Bass. No Tenor (no high) (immediate skip on these).
Age: Should sound believably 45-65 years old. Any auditions that sound like a blossoming college student will be sadly skipped.
Personality:
(this was the old actor's audio)
https://shortcut-test2.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/audition/file_path/141004/Caleb.mp3
Reason for recast:
We had to recast this actor because of issues with the audio. About 3 years ago, the audio sounded fine to me. But today, there's a fair bit of sibilance and an unnatural quality to the lines, probably due to compression, the mic itself or the abuse of the Noise Reduction feature in Audacity. I tried contacting the original actor to no avail so I sadly need to recast.
DELIVERY:
Please save a copy of your audition lines as a .wav file so I have them on hand.
LINES:
The audition contains all of his lines in the game
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
If you are already among the actors I have in Brave New World, please note that while I am open to actors reprising more than one role, the voice has to sound very, very different from any other characters you have been cast for and the (distance) of Caleb from your other character must be a substantial distance away. I'm just trying to avoid the sins of Obsidian and Bethesda, where they had characters voiced by the same actor.
AUDITION LINES: Choose any five lines. But these are all of his lines in the game.
[Any auditions that sound like a blossoming college student will be sadly skipped.]
AUDITION LINES: Choose any five lines. But these are all of his lines in the game.

Heh, so the Garrets sent you to track me down? What a joke.
(Explaining how he does bounty hunting)
{Cold} Be quick and quiet, and don't get dead.
{Annoyed}Do I look like a career counselor, kid? Get lost.
{Irritated}You've got a mouth on you, kid. If I weren't busy working for the Garrets, I might give you a few lessons in common courtesy. Get lost.)
{Tired and unamused}I'd rather not waste the ammo, kid. But, if you insist....then..(threatening voice)...... draw.
{Annoyed}Now why the hell should I do that? You're below me, kid.
{Cold, Deadly serious}I've been killing assholes twice your size since before your mother squeezed you out.
{Annoyed}Piss off.
(The Player is challenging the Bounty Hunter. )
{Cold, snickering}If you think you've got the guts, I'd like to see you try.
(The Player mentions that he just needs your hat to prove that he killed you)
[SUCCEEDED] {Amused}Well, that sounds like a bit of a bargain. I get to walk free with the Garrets thinking I'm dead.
{Amused}Sure, you can have my hat. I can always buy another with the caps I've got left.
{Friendly}It would have been more fun fighting it out, though. See you later, kid.
{Glare} {Deadly serious} (threatening) (ready to kill)
Better get your ass moving before your mouth gets you into trouble, kid.
{Annoyed}Piss off, errand boy.
{Annoyed}Piss off errand girl
(What do you do around here?)
{Cold}Hunting and killing, plain and simple.
(So you’re a bounty hunter?)
{Irritated}Bingo. Now if you're done asking stupid questions, I have more important things to do.
Piss off, kid. We've got no more business to conduct.
Yeah. See ya later
Tone: Baritone or Bass. Won't accept Tenor (high)
Accent: Northern American or Southern accent. No British or European accent for this particular character.
Age: 32++. Keeping within the range of the original voice actors who were around the range of 35++ with a baritone voice.
Personality: Soldier. Should be charismatic with a slight sense of humor but still maintain a soldierly tone. A soldier who was chosen for increasing the morale of his squad mates. He serves as an example to his squad mates but he also likes to lighten the mood in dire times. Rugged soldier with a genuine smile.
(Thankful, soldier tone)
If it isn't the guy that defeated the Legion at Nelson. I can't thank you enough, morale around here has never been higher.
(Sad tone, soldier tone):
Did you hear President Kimball was killed? The guys here aren't taking it very well.
(Happy, sees a hero walk in, should still sound like a soldier)
Hey everybody, look who it is! Glad to have you here friend. What can I do for you?
(Soldier tone. With a sense of goofiness. He think he's funny. But he's not)
Which reminds me of something I've been meaning to try. A killer competition to boost morale. Interested?...
....Great. Since the camp is threatened by Legion, I propose a hunt. Kill any you encounter and bring me the Legion's ear as proof.
...You get it? Legion ear?
...Come on. Lend me your ear. I bet you'll be good at it.
(Excited) (someone is killing a lot of baddies)
Woah boy! This puts you far ahead of everyone else. I think I'll have to declare you the winner of the competition.
(Putting together a reward)
It's not much, but here's a little something I scraped together for the winner of the contest. Good job, you earned it.
Age: 24 to 32
Tone: Ideal would be Medium, Medium-high and perhaps medium-low. Preference would be more Medium. More Mezzo Soprano rather than Contralto or Soprano.
Accent: North American (preferred) but open to Southern accent. Can't take any European accent whatsoever.
Personality:
Two-faced.
She should sound like someone who's been a scavenger and a thief and a wanderer. Shouldn't sound prissy. Shouldn't sound like an anime teenager. Someone who has no trouble reloading a gun, firing a gun and killing a person with no thought. But also can play the victim and can seem kind-hearted. (she's not)
Context:
At first, Jacklyn appears to be an innocuous person, a victim. She runs to the Courier (the Main Player) and mentions that he or she has saved her life. However, as time goes on, it's discovered that she actually intends to kill the Courier, to take his/her belongings.
(Bounty hunter ready to arrest you) (you pull out your gun and you're going to kill him)
(wild eyes) (frantic) (fingers on trigger) (shaking hand) (shaking voice) (ready to kill)
No....you're mistaken...(breathes heavy).....I'm not going there again......(aggressive)..(hate)...I'm taking you down(thankful)
Thank god you came around. That guy was gonna kill me!
(shaken up)
Look, I think I need a few moments to compose myself......Thank you.
(Someoone suspects something is wrong) (Asks you about something you're carrying)(Nervous)
It's .... uh..a..... necklace that I made out of these special caps....You ever see any caps with a blue star on 'em?
(Speaking cherishingly)(Showing a necklace with blue capped stars) (Those blue-starred caps are VERY VERY rare and expensive)
Pretty sure, yeah. it's really nice, isn't it? You ever seen caps with pretty blue stars like these?
(Fear)(Bountyhunter has you figured out) (You're outnumbered and outgunned) (surrendering)
H-here. You can have the damn necklace.... Just leave me alone!
Tone: Baritone (No exceptions). Your natural speaking voice.
Accent: North American accent. Can't take any British or European or Southern accent.
Age: 28-35.
Race: Caucasian
Personality: Stern, military
Background:
In charge of protecting the farmers and crops from wastelanders, he makes sure the water stays pumping from Lake Mead and that the farmers are generally happy. He was contacted by Corporal White, but didn't believe him about the water shortage. He believes that White is a glory hound and is admittedly a soldier, not a thinker.
(Stern) (Terse) (Military)
What is it, trooper? You're not assigned to my squad, as far as I know.
(Stern) (Terse) (Military) (Annoyed)
I'm not a recruitment officer. If you want to join the army, I'm sure someone at McCarran can point you in the right direction.
(Military tone)
We can't have wastelanders popping in here for a free meal, so my squad and I are assigned to keep things from going to hell.
(Proud) (military tone)
Impressive, aren't they? You don't see anything like this outside of NCR territory, that's for sure.
(irritated) (military tone)
He's a glory hound, always looking for a way to get promoted to Ranger. Thinks he's too good to be a regular trooper like the rest of us.
(corrected) (feels stupid) (trying to act smart) (military tone)
I... really don't see the connection. Look, I'm a soldier, not a scientist. I just do my job.
