Hi everyone! I’m looking for voice actors for a new story-driven quest mod for “Fallout 4”. I'm holding these casting calls in stages, filling different roles at each stage. For this second call, I am casting for a number of supporting and minor roles.
About Fallout 4 and Mind Games
“Fallout 4” is a role-playing game set in and around Boston, MA (aka the Commonwealth) during the year 2287, where communities are rebuilding 200 years after a nuclear apocalypse. “Mind Games” puts the player character in the role of a detective on the case of a missing person, which leads to a broader story that connects to the plot from the base game.
You can find an explanation of the mod and a clip of the first scene above. Voice talent in this scene are:

The Roles
The characters I am currently casting are as follows. Please note that all characters have an American accent:
Supporting roles (max 200 to 300 lines):
- Larsen, male, 30s/40s - settlement security guard
- McCoy, male, ghoul* - settlement security guard
- Diamond City Security Guard, male, 30s/40s - city security guard - Boston accent
Minor roles:
- Frankie Fitzpatrick, male, 40s - mobster (23 lines)
- Unnamed mobster, male, 40s - mobster (6 lines)
- Magpie Mandy, female, 20s/30s - raider (31 lines)
- Two-Shot Tommy, male, ghoul* - raider (19 lines)
* = ghouls in Fallout are highly irradiated humans that have a trademark raspy voice. You can hear a couple of examples here:

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr2ibqAb7P0 (more suited to Two-Shot Tommy)
Content Guidance
- No sexual content
- Frequent strong language
- Frequent references to violence and substance abuse
Compensation
The mod is a non-commercial fan project without funding, so I cannot offer anything close to industry rates. I value the talent and effort actors bring with them, so I’d like to offer something where I can, and I can budget for a flat $25 for the project for supporting roles. For the minor roles, I'm afraid I can't offer compensation but hopefully you'll be up for doing it for fun! I've included the line count for the minor roles so you know what you're getting into. I don't have exact line counts for the supporting roles but I imagine it'll be no more than 200 to 300 lines.
Payment ideally via paypal after you’ve accepted the role.
Requirements
- A good mic setup so that we can make the voices and the mod as a whole feel like part of the main game.
- No experience is necessary but clean recordings are really important.
The audition
For the audition itself, you don’t need to stick exactly to the lines. Feel free to change the words slightly if it feels right. You are very welcome to do more than one take, if you wish (either AABBCC or ABCABC - whichever you prefer).
I prefer to wait until the deadline before making any casting decisions, even if I think I've already found the perfect voice, so that everyone who wants to audition gets a chance to do so.
Working style
- No live voice-acting sessions, so you’ll be free to do the recordings as you want, but within specified timeframes (which I try to keep as flexible as possible so that we can work around your schedule).
- Please be prepared to do pick-ups / re-recordings if necessary.
- Ad-libbing is encouraged to a certain extent if it feels right for you, with the only caveat being that the lines of the other characters are fixed, so we’ll have to respect that in order for the dialogue to flow.
- You will not be expected to edit, cut or process the recordings that you send me, but they will need to be in a specific format to work in the game (that being 44100hz, 16-bit, mono WAV). Please note the format requirements only apply to the lines you send me after you have been cast. I've heard CCC handles mp3s better than it does WAVs, so please feel free to upload your auditions as mp3s.
