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 fourth call, I am casting for one lead role and 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.
The video above will give you an idea of the mod, and it also showcases the amazing talent of the voice actors who've already joined the project. (the video's about 40 minutes long so please don't feel you need to watch all of it!).
Content Guidance
- Rare sexual references
- 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 $35 for the project for the lead role and $25 for supporting roles. For the minor roles, I'm afraid I can't offer compensation but, as it's a fan project, hopefully you'll be up for doing it for fun!
Payment ideally via paypal.
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 and improvise if it feels right. You are very welcome to do more than one take, if you wish (either AABB or ABAB - whichever you prefer).
Everyone is welcome to audition for more than one role. Anyone who has already been cast in this mod is welcome to audition too.
Some of the characters are "ghouls", who are irradiated humans. They speak with a raspier voice than normal. Here's an example. Only a slight rasp is needed - you don't need to push it any further if you don't want to: https://youtu.be/r5kfJH6P3wI?si=jqzBkgX3VDIx4VX-
I won't be making any casting decisions until the deadline for auditions has passed, so anyone who wants to audition will have until then 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 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).
- Although the lines will have to be in WAV format once you're cast, the auditions don't have to be WAV.
